scMerlin scMerlin v2 - Service and script control menu for AsusWRT-Merlin

[archiel]

I'm not sure for existing installs, but:

v.2.1.0 is now available
Changelog:
NEW: Added option to disable feature(s) that require a USB. This is currently only the list of running processes in the WebUI.

If you uninstall and reinstall you should be prompted whether to enable usb stuff, thus negating needing entware

Worked perfectly - thanks.

After the update ... the process list was empty (and not refreshing) and there is no memory and storage graphs, and neither temperatures are being shown.
So I went to the script and forced a new update ... uf ... but no luck.
I also tried to reset the WebUi http from ... scMerlin ... The WebUi was reset but the graphs, temps and the process lists didn’t appeared.

Same. Thing happened here

To resolve this issue, launch scmerlin from ssh session (or from amtm menu). Select c ("View running processes"). This will prompt to install htop — confirm install, exit the CLI script, and you should be good to go. Apparently, it was inadvertently removed during the upgrade.

Stumbled on to this by accident as I tried to see why nothing was showing up in the GUI, as soon as htop was installed all the stats updated...

Thank you @Jack Yaz

You are right htop was removed during the update. I launched scMerlin through amtm and I selected option c. Then htop was reinstalled and the process list is being shown in the ssh session. I can see the memory usage and the router temperatures when I am inside amtm. But the WebUi is still not showing the process list neither the graphs and router temperatures.

Finally the solution was ... after reinstalling htop ... to select option w inside scMerlin in order to show the WebUi addons list

 

[Jack Yaz]

Weird, this didn't happen on neither my primary router or development router. There was a secondary entware update to htop specifically the other day, after the main raft of updates, i wonder if noone had installed that yet?

If so, and it was a botched update by entware, really nothing I can do :/
Speculating that the broken htop mistakenly registered itself as top, which would break the process list.

 

[Jack Yaz]

Confirmed, scmerlin only installs htop, there are no calls to remove it. Therefore, this is an upstream problem. Make check for entware updates and if htop is listed update it. Out of my control. htop is only used for option c in the CLI, the WebUI issues potentially have an additional cause which I am investigating since a missing top file would be retried and not block other elements

v2.2.1 is now available
Changelog:

• FIXED: WebUI wouldn't load properly if some files missing

False, unfortunately. scMerlin does not call "opkg remove" anywhere. Probably broken by Entware (hence the secondary update I saw only for htop). scmerlin checks if /opt/bin/htop exists and if it doesn't prompts if you'd like to install it.

I had htop updated before scmerlin upgrade and it wasn't removed. I had to do what figorr suggested - meaning using option w from scmerlin CLI. That fixed it.

this is fixed in v2.2.1

Yes, i wrote post before you pushed 2.2.1 all is well. I can confirm that after updating to 2.2.1 process list is working

v2.2.1 loads the addon pages via ajax which gives the option to retry if it fails. the old method would hard fail and prevent any further processing on the page.
when you load the WebUI now, on the page load it will fire off a call to the router to run scmerlin's addon generation mechanism, which I felt was a better approach than yet another cron job to refresh the list periodically. this is something I'm looking to adopt more and cut down the number of cron jobs in scripts

I like what you did there. Hats off to you. More coffee coming your way soon. As soon as I get my allowance.
