BOOTSTRAP & IPKG lost after every reboot

[mikeo]

Today i installed DSM 4.0 beta on a DS211 and found a big problem.

BOOTSTRAP & IPKG lost after every reboot.

When you install BOOTSTRAP & IPKG all is fine until you reboot. Then IPKG is removed and you can start all over.

I send a bug report to Synology about it. If more people have this problem please send a bug report to them

Hi,

I had the same problem, it's the first time an upgrade broke my optware installation. Reinstalling it solves until reboot so I did a little investigation and solved the problem this way:

edit the file /etc/rc.local and add a line like this belo #!/bin/sh:

Code: Select all

mount -o bind /volume1/@optware /opt

then, edit the file /root/.profile and modify the line that starts with "PATH" so it looks like this:

Code: Select all

PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:[the content that was already there]

Same problem here. Let us know when you hear something from support.

That was the solution.

I only needed to add

Code: Select all

PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:[the content that was already there]

Installed IPKG again and after reboot it is still there.

Thankt you.

Hello everyone,

I noticed this after installing DSM4.0 and reinstalling ipkg

It does require a small workaround, described here:

http://www.naschenweng.info/2012/01/17/ ... eaks-ipkg/

When issueing a reboot command from the shell ,I received an email from my synology warning me:

Dear user,

Synology suffered from power failure and was shut down improperly.

Sincerely,

Is this normal behavior ? I don't recall this being an issue when rebooting using 3.x

If anyone can confirm, I will send a beta feedback describing it...

Hi,

It looks like it installed ok.

You will need to reboot the NAS after installing, I think that is the problem.

Did you read the second post?


edit the file /root/.profile and modify the line that starts with "PATH" so it looks like this:

Code: Select all
PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:[the content that was already there]

Is this going to be patched in the final release?

The ipkg system isn't officially supported by synology so they aren't obligated to patch this. If they did it would be a cool gesture to the community, if not then it's business as usual.

[molassen]

Why dosnt this work with DSM 4.0 without modifying rc.local and .profile ?
I mean - what has changed? It worked out-of-the-box with DSM 3.2

[ruinit]

How do I edit the these files? I put on dsm4.0 now ipkg will not work? I can't gain access to the files from what I see. I have even tried to get in using ftp but can't see files.

I wonder if they fixed it with this final release ?

[ZeusII]

well, after updating to 4.0 final, I had to add the opt path to the PATH again so it's not fixed.

As it's really easy to fix (anyone who is able to install the bootstrap should be able to the fix) it's not a big matter at all.
