The OpenNMP & NPKG Project

[adnovea]

Hi Schumaku,

You're of great help on the OpenNMP support.
I do actually check for both (eth0 and ra0) but my code may be fooled or not strong enough.
Here the code from /.onmp/web/inc/conf.php

Code: Select all

$output = null;
exec("/sbin/ifconfig eth0 2> /dev/null | /bin/awk '/addr:/{print $2}' | cut -f2 -d:", $output);
if (trim($output[0])!="") define("IP_ADDR", $output[0]);
else {
   $output = null;
   exec("/sbin/ifconfig ra0 | /bin/awk '/addr:/{print $2}' | cut -f2 -d:", $output);
   if (trim($output[0])!="") define("IP_ADDR", $output[0]);
      else define("IP_ADDR", "127.0.0.1");
}



I suggest to replace the 2 tests (lines 63 & 66) to see if it improves:

Code: Select all

trim($output[0])!=""

by

Code: Select all

$output!=null

I cannot test it because none of my USB Wifi sticks are compatible with the NMP-1000.

Laurent,
Thout it's worth mentioning the WLAN thingie before.

Here a minor one: Accessing the OpenNMP homepage with IE8, is leading to the situation where all the big slider icons are shown in top right position, starting with AjaXplorer, Internet Radio, myPVR, and Sample.

The error shown by IE might be misleading:
...
Meldung: Syntaxfehler
Zeile: 20
Zeichen: 21
Code: 0
URI: http://nmp-1000:8080/opennmp/index.php

No issues e.g. on Chrome. Fun enough, similar issues with QNAP's original slider on Safari.

Great thread!!! I post to follow it ...

An answer: is possible to install NPKG features also on the little TS-109 Pro?

On NAS boxes you install QPKG...

Hi Schumaku,

Just made quick tests on Internet Explorer 8 and it works.
Shall you encountered presentation issues, just press the compatibility button on the right side of the URL bar

Could you try the cmd in a console and check if it returns your IP correctly ?

The complete command is to extract the IP addr is:

Code: Select all

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 2> /dev/null | /bin/awk '/addr:/{print $2}' | cut -f2 -d:


That command returns nothing at all, but I think you already guessed that, I'm going to do the suggested edit now...

This fixes the issue! Thanks!

Feature request: remove the beep that OpenNMP generates, or make it optional. If not, I'll have to remove OpenNMP again, my wife hates beeps

As far as I remember there is only one beep (except during install where there may be two) when the NPKG are enabled/disable.
There are no beep during normal functioning. OpenNMP behaves pretty much as the NAS in term of beeping, nevertheless you must be able to disable some beeps in the /.onmp/config.ini file

Code: Select all

[ONMP]
; Enabled/disabled [TRUE,FALSE] beep generated by OpenNMP
onmp.beeper            = FALSE


[petur]

It was beeping at every boot, setting Beeper to FALSE fixed that. Thanks.

After changing changing the network detection, I found that (with the dongle in the lower port) it no longer found the dongle. I swapped memory stick with network dongle and now it works again.

If the code requires IE7 emulation (strange anyway), I suggest adding the following PHP code to the header area:

Code: Select all

<?php header("X-UA-Compatible: IE=EmulateIE7"); ?>

This will do automatically whay you expect. The user should not take care about emulation.

Salutations,

If we have to upgrade from one version to another one. What is the best approach?
Re-install over the USB key or is there an upgrade path?

Thanks

Salut,
Correct me if I'm wrong - rdate does make use of RFC 868, which is not really popular anymore, and no longer commonly available on public or official name servers.

As OpenNMP->System NKP->Date and Time says "Synchronize with an Internet time server (NTP) automatically", can you consider adding ntpclient to the list of required IPKG, so we are really using NTP?

Dependencies: Optware
IPKG required: lighttpd, sqlite, screen, openssh, ntpclient

This makes a ctrontab entry feasible:

0 */1 * * * /opt/bin/ntpclient -h europe.pool.ntp.org -s

The show stopper ... as of v1.1.5:

System is configured for "GMT+01:00 Amsterdam, Berlin, ..." time zone, time roughly set manually, of by sync from PC using the Web UI.

NMP-1000[~]$ date
Sat Mar 27 07:15:06 CEST 2010

Going to the shell, and use either rdate (busybox) or ntpclient (ipkg) does set the time one hour ahead of time.

NMP-1000[~]$ ntpclient -h europe.pool.ntp.org -s
40262 18911.599 33756.0 59.0 3731542557.1 38375.9 0
NMP-1000[~]$ date
Sat Mar 27 08:17:26 CEST 2010

What is wrong? CEST is Central European Summer Time - but we don't have it (yet): By definition, CEST is active between 1:00 UTC on the last Sunday of March and 1:00 on the last Sunday of October.

Sat Mar 27 is _not_ in this time window (but we will be there within some hours).

Suspect the time zone file is outdated (unlikely, as CEST used to start end of April earlier...), broken, corrupt.

---
The very perfect solution would be run the complete ntp for smooth time adjustments - but this seems to be beyond the scope for now, because QNAP seems to prefer much more complex time controls require scheduling, create time jumps, ...

Let's continue dreaming of a perfect world.

-Kurt.

Just installed OpenNMP.
But if i try to go to webinterface http://nmp_ip:8080/ i get error 408-Forbidden

Evaluating if this is a generic problem, or limited to php - can you access just the picturee:
