Do you use OpenMultiboot?

[Pedro_Newbie]

I think so, sorry can't help you with multiboot systems.

Try to restore direct in flash

[rhurbarb]

Hi, i dont use multiboot /openmultiboot.

originally the openpli would not work on my duo2, i was told if you flash blackhole image 1st then openpli it would work, backupsuite always worked using this setup upto now

[rhurbarb]

how do i restore in flash ? sorry

[Pedro_Newbie]

JUst flash it like a new image

[betacentauri]

Please describe what exactly happens when you try to flash the selected backup via the backup suite.
Is a ofgwrite screen visible on the tv screen? Is there an error message?

[rhurbarb]

Are there spaces in the directory name? Can you rename and remove the spaces? This might be a problem.

[rhurbarb]

Genius ! ... The backups did have spaces, i deleted them and it flashed straight away.... pat on the back mate, good work !

 

Thank you for your time

Hello, i would be very grateful for some help please.

I have spent the last few hours flashing to the latest openpli 6 on my xtrend 9200 and after adding the

backupsuite and then trying to back my image up to the plugin i get this error:

 

 

/usr/sbin/mkfs.ubifs not found, the backup process will be aborted!

 

Image creation FAILED!

 

Execution finished!!

 

 

I would be grateful for some help to get this plugin to work as i only use the backupsuite for this purpose.

 

Thank you very much.

I never back my complete image up only the settings and plugins with Autobackup (https://wiki.openpli...ckup/AutoBackup). This will also work if you go back to 4 (so you needn't back up the complete image in my opinion)

 

But if you want to, just to be sure or if you have a lot of external plugins or something, I found this with a Google search usr/sbin.ubifs not found

Open a telnet session and give the command

opkg list-installed | grep ubifs

If there is no result try

opkg install mtd-utils-ubifs

This should install ubifs IF the packages for Openpli 6 are still the same

 

Otherwise try

find / -name 'mkfs.ubifs'

[zigzag]

Pedro, thank you for your post but it still hasn't worked for me.

The first command opkg list-installed | grep ubifs was installed but i still get the same error.

The second option opkg install mtd-utils-ubifs  results in the following: Collected errors: opkg_solver_install: Cannot install package mtd-utils-ubifs.

The final option, i copied as you had posted it and it resulted in nothing at all.

 

Usually it is the mediaaportal plugin that is a problem but on this image I have spent the last 8 hrs and 15 mins trying to add this one plugin and it has knocked the stuffing out of me. I really am physically drained as well as frustrated that i have wasted my whole day. 

 

Do you have any other suggestions Pedro?

 

If not, i will just flash my backed up openpli4 again as this has been a waste of time.

[Pedro_Newbie]

But is there a file in /usr/sbin with the name mkfs.ubifs?

[zigzag]

But is there a file in /usr/sbin with the name mkfs.ubifs?

I have just checked and no there isn't Pedro.

[athoik]

Try this: opkg install util-linux-mkfs ?

[zigzag]

Try this: opkg install util-linux-mkfs ?

I just tried it and it returned the following:

 

Collected errors: 

* opkg_prepare_url_for_install: Couldn't find anything to satisfy  'util-linux-mkfs'.

[athoik]

Something wrong is going on here.

Please paste the full output of the commands below.

opkg update
opkg install util-linux-mkfs
