[Beta] AB-Solution 3.x

[thelonelycoder]

This is a Beta thread. The regular release thread is here.
Please post only Beta related topics here. Thanks.

In order to test new features before they are released, I decided to post a public beta version.
This will be a permanent place for AB-Solution 3.x beta testing.

Announcements for new beta versions will only be made in this thread.

December 09 2017
AB-Solution 3.11 is now available through the beta and release channel
Use cu to update.

This concludes beta testing for now. Thanks for participating.


How to enable beta in AB-Solution
- enter beta into the AB UI
- continue
- select "Set which URL to use"
- select "Set beta URL"
- enter the following:

ab-solution.info/beta

- then a test is done if the URL is valid and if so, AB now uses the beta channel for all cu and other operations
- enter cu into the AB UI to update all files to this beta version

In the beta menu is an option to use the hosts files stored in the beta channel. You do not need to enable this as we are not testing the blocking file updates in this version.
But you may enable it, the hosts files are up-to-date.

When beta is enabled, the AB UI header adds beta to the version number and the beta URL line:

How to disable beta in AB-Solution
To reset to the standard release location, enter the beta function again and select reset to standard URL.
It will ask you if you want to re-download all files. You can do that, but there's a small bug. It will only download the main file (ab-solution.sh) and not the addon files.

You can either then run cu or enter 1233 to re-download all files from the release channel.
Note that you will loose features not yet released in the release channel.

Indeed, the last public beta was for AB-Solution 1.08, if memory serves me right. That's a while ago.

Is the coloured text correct? Otherwise went real smooth.

Looks good to me, did you run cu to update all files?

Edit: Yes, you did:
This is AB-Solution 3.9 [3.9.3]

Yes sir! It was easy and smooth!!

Updated to beta without any issue, thanks!

Do you have plans to include test versions of pixelserv-tls into the Ab-Solution beta as well?

@thelonelycoder I have a quick question for you. Is there any way to remove a specific log entry that repeats itself by using a script? ASUS has a problem they need to fix but until then the log gets bigger and bigger. Any suggestions? The error is this one:

Nov 14 09:54:40 kernel: ERR[set_app_info_qos_meta:3361] It's a paid app, please assign a default bandwidth!

My apologies if this is the wrong way to ask you.

Create a file and place this content in it, if you start it in a terminal it runs continually in the background with a 50 sec pause:

#!/bin/sh

remove_kernelERR(){

sed -i '/please assign a default/d' /jffs/syslog.log /tmp/syslog.log
sleep 50
remove_kernelERR
}
remove_kernelERR

It removes the lines in both syslog files.
It should work without interrupting the normal writing to syslog. But I give no guarantees!

Works but doesn't leave the terminal in a state to issue another cli. It sits there is that the sleep 50 affect?

I just run a test with several processes writing several different lines to two files with increasing numbers to check if some are skipped.
One process deletes them in infrequent intervals. So far not a single line is missed. So it should be good.

It works awesome but why would my terminal hang and not return to command prompt?

Start the file from a /jffs/scripts file, I suggest at the end of services-start
Place this in it:

sh /path/to/file.sh &>/dev/null &

This runs the file in the background, with no output.
To kill it you would have to find the process id in top and kill it with:

kill -HUP <process number>

Thanks so much it all works!

No, the Entware package manager opkg has no beta feature.
And since pixelserv beta files are on github with inconsistent filenames, I better keep my fingers off such a feature.
A stable Kl version will be available in due time with opkg.

Installed Beta! Nice and easy.

You sir are a genius my log is clear no problems at all. Thank you for this temp resolve!

How do I add this err entry in my logs to your excellent removal system?

Nov 14 13:45:43 kernel: ERR[set_app_info_qos_meta:3335] Failed to find app info entry (10-4-132)!

EDIT: I fixed it myself. I just added another line with the info in it to be removed. Works like a charm.
