Entware rc.func not found

[Demontager]

I tried to install shadowsocks to ASUS-RT3100 by following github manual and found that install script cannot complete because an error in /opt/etc/init.d/S02haveged

If i start it manually

/opt/etc/init.d/S02haveged: .: line 10: can't open '/opt/etc/init.d/rc.func'

I tried to remove and install haveged again, but same error.
Yeah, rc.func does not exists as error says, so what should i do to fix that?

/opt/etc/init.d/rc.func is a core component of Entware. If it doesn't exist on your router then you either haven't installed Entware correctly or it's corrupted.

 

[Demontager]

@ColinTaylor Ok, got you. I did install by following that manual Is it up to date?

 

[ColinTaylor]

Yes. The "official" way to install Entware on asuswrt-Merlin is to use the option in amtm.

Then now looking where the fault is...
amtm says i got Entware up and running.

Well, that's not what AMTM is actually saying. The message I see is:

_____________________________________________

Entware packages updated and upgraded
_____________________________________________

Entware is a software package repository so it cannot be "up & running" as if it were itself a service. Also, note that when AMTM runs to "update and upgrade Entware packages," I highly doubt that it also checks whether the file "/opt/etc/init.d/rc.func" is actually found & verified to be OK.

As @ColinTaylor already pointed out, your problem seems to be that the file "/opt/etc/init.d/rc.func" either does not exist or is corrupted. In any case, this suggests that Entware needs to be reinstalled from scratch because we don't know what else might not be properly set up or working in your current Entware installation.

Bottom line, completely delete your current "entware" folder and reinstall using AMTM.

 

[Demontager]

I know it's not a service, just meant that i did vanilla installation which looks very straightforward. No even have an idea how to try to install it in another way.
Anyway i have reinstalled Entware again as you suggested, e.g formatted 16GB USB3 Pendrive and created single ext4 partition, it not helped, entire system does not know about rc.func file

admin@RT-AC3100-4060:/tmp/home/root# find / -iname rc*
/sbin/rc
/sbin/rcheck
/tmp/etc/strongswan.d/charon/rc2.conf
/usr/etc/strongswan.d/charon/rc2.conf
/usr/share/strongswan/templates/config/plugins/rc2.conf
admin@RT-AC3100-4060:/tmp/home/root#

Are you installing entware through AMTM? If not, the recommended method is to use AMTM method to do such. Most people now are only familiar with using AMTM to install entware.

 

[ColinTaylor]

Can you check that the entware-opt package has been installed correctly:

opkg status entware-opt

If it hasn't (or even if it has) try reinstalling it.
