opkg isn't smart enough to always update dependencies

That's possible. Have you poked at one of the Entware devs about it?

Indeed: https://github.com/Entware/Entware/wiki#note-about-packages-upgrade

I remember a warning about that somewhere, but for the life of me I can't find it.

EDIT: Not only did @XIII beat me to it, he found the warning.

Will check again tomorrow.

Better, but still not as good as what I see posted by others?

You cannot do better than that without your own GPS connected NTP server.

Ah. Good to know.

Just did my first firmware update after installing ntpMerlin.

What do I need to do to get the ntpMerlin add-on back in the web interface?

Should come back on a reboot (via services-start), else run

ntpmerlin startup

Which router? 384.10_2? It should still be there.

Yes, came back eventually. Maybe related to the initial slowness of the web interface?

Another question: is the URL for ntpMerlin supposed to be https://192.168.1.1:8443/Feedback_Info.asp?

Yes

 

[XIII]

Yes

Was surprised by the name.

Are you (re)using something Asus or RMerlin already had in the firmware?

Yes, a page or two from the stock f/w for sending feedback to Asus (which is disabled in Merlin)

I'm getting a broken graph page in ntpmerlin and spdmerlin. Maybe someone would have some good advice for me.

Mine was like that after the update to 384.10_2 but the Refresh button at the bottom of that page brought up the graphs.

Thank you for the reply. I seems to only happen after a reboot my router. I have to go back into the settings and generate graphs again. After that they work until I reboot and then they are broke again.

Yes it happened on my AX88U after a reboot. I SSH'd into my router and went to the ntpMerlin menu and regenerated graphs (option 1). After that, the graphs reappeared.

I did what you said and they reappeared until I rebooted and then they broke again. Thank you for your reply.

@Jack Yaz - I am assuming there is something here that is not surviving reboots. Is there anything that we can tweak in the configuration?

It seems that when ever I reboot ntpmerlin takes a few mins to start. Once it starts the graphs come back.

Isn't it a cron job that runs every 5 minutes?
