Can I assume updating through amtm will correct the version "rollback upgrade" notification there?

From command line: scmerlin stable
 
after fresh install, the webUI page is missing for me :-(
/jffs/addons/scmerlin.d/* is empty
 
you mean you didn't already have it installed? :eek:

hopefully fixed with the hotfix just pushed

i had it installed :)
updating v1 to v2 did not create the webUI, so
i uninstalled v1 before installing v2 and tried again

after hotfix, install makes webUI visible, thanks!

Just had the exact same thing happen with my RT-AC86U, but up now and all looking really impressive @Jack Yaz, thanks as always for all your clever coding and valuable additions to our @RMerlin experience.
 
This is making me question how RAM is allocated on my ac86 - I wonder if it's possible to move cache & buffers to the swap somehow...

The idea of cache/buffers is specifically to avoid having to use slower disk storage. Moving a cache or buffers to disk makes no sense.

I concur, the only purpose to ever use swap is for moving memory pages that are hardly ever used to free up more cache or buffer for stuff that is used often. But where RMerlin has alluded to, the excessive(or unneeded) moving of memory pages to swap spaces actually acquires a performance hit since the Kernel is pressured to continuously move memory pages in and out of memory and swap space.
 
Ah, because I couldn't reply to my old thread....I missed an important bit of info.

When upgrading from v1, you need to run the update again to pull down the rest of the files using option uf
For me uf has become the standard because when @Jack Yaz updates, he also upgrades ;); cant hold back those dev-skills. Keep that in mind the next time you update.
 
Hi! Using scMerlin 2.0.1

I have NO VPN configured (client or server)
but scMerlin WUI page shows VPN restart button ??

Is there a way to have that page display the RESTART button only if VPN is configure ?

Thanks
 
Can't you just click to collapse? :)
 
Hi! Jack,

I understand your preocupation
but it was just strange for me to see a 'restart' button for any service (VPNclient or VPNserver ...) that is not even configured !

I do have the same concern about speedtest spdMerlin addon which displays 3 times 'No data to display' for every one of 5 non-configured VPNclient !

Thanks for your reply ;)
Your support is appreciated
