I'm having a problem that started yesterday for me. It looks like opernwrt works fine and can connect to the internet but meteobridge never loads. When I kick off the start.sh manually I see the following:

root@MeteoBridge:~# ./start.sh
HW: TL-MR3020
MAC: F8:1A:67:52:D9:B5
./start.sh: line 21: /root/3g-setup.sh: not found
USB stick /dev/sda1 detected
start downloading application stack from internet... done
tar: warning: skipping header 'x'
tar: warning: skipping header 'x'
tar: warning: skipping header 'x'
tar: can't open 'etc/init.d/loggerd': No space left on device
sh: can't open '/home/setup.sh'

So it looks like a space issue but I dont know where. df -h shows the following:
root@MeteoBridge:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 320.0K 256.0K 64.0K 80% /
/dev/root 2.8M 2.8M 0 100% /rom
tmpfs 14.3M 92.0K 14.3M 1% /tmp
tmpfs 512.0K 0 512.0K 0% /dev
/dev/mtdblock3 320.0K 256.0K 64.0K 80% /overlay
overlayfs:/overlay 320.0K 256.0K 64.0K 80% /

Any ideas of where I can look?

The only other oddity that I see is in the luci: system->software->configuration there is a reference to http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ ... x/packages which does not seem to be valid anymore.

As you are working on the shell chances are good you filled the very small root
overlay partition and blew the system by that. Please start over with a fresh
install and don't expect support, when you dig around at openwrt or shell level.

ok, I just used the shell to see what was going on as the web interface was not very helpful. I did perform a factory reset and it looks like the problem is still there. Nothing custom was added.

Everything is default but I note again it is trying to pull software down from a location that also seems to be no longer valid:

Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ ... ackages.gz.
Collected errors:
* opkg_download: Failed to download http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ ... ackages.gz, wget returned 8.

So I ssh to the device and tried to kick off start.sh manually and now get a different error:
root@MeteoBridge:~# ./start.sh
tar: short read
sh: can't open '/home/setup.sh'
root@MeteoBridge:~#

I tried the url for openwrt.org and confirmed it is bad.

Im starting to wonder if there is something wrong with the device itself. I dont mind buying another if I can transfer the license to it.

To my knowledge the Meteobridge is not downloading anything from openwrt.org.
I can hardly believe that the Meteobridge image is doing that.
Please flash the Meteobridge image again to the device,
playing with openwrt and installing packages is a very bad idea.

You can transfer the license to a new device. Just send me old and new MAC.

Ok, an update and clarification....

On the 3rd factory reset, it came up fine. That url I mentioned earlier is a part of openwrt. I just assumed it was being updated as well. Maybe the developers put it that way so the openwrt never changes and remains at a fixed version? Hope not as that would imply vulnerabilities not getting fixed.

I still think there may be a hardware level issue with mine as I am seeing odd errors that are indicative of that in dmesg.

I'm going to watch it for a while and if it continues to be problematic, Ill purchase a new router and flash it.

Thanks

Another question, I noticed that I have FW 1.1 and it looks like 1.4 is the latest. Is there any advantage to upgrading or should I stick to the thought of if it is not broken, don't fix it.

no dramatic changes, some better boot handling details.

Ok, 3 months later, the exact same scenario has happened again for me. Again, I have not done anything custom but the device keeps running out of space and dying. Reboots do not help as it just downloads the software again and runs out of space again.

The only solution for me so far is to continue with the factory reset, restore the config and continue.

So, if I go with the Pro version which is $425 for me versus $40, is there any additional support that is available when these really strange things happen?
