@Lazar-Demin
I have a bunch of expansion boards from the original kickstarter campaign. How can I donate and just get multiple Omega2 Plus modules?

Like, 6 of them

@Lazar-Demin Your response is perfect. I will have to power the dock since I need a USB stick for the python stack. 5V FTW!

Thank you!

Is this still an issue?

@Brad-Buskey said in Installing Bluez:

opkg install bluez-libs bluez-utils

@Brad-Buskey your suggested steps no longer work on b239, even immediately after a successful opkg update

root@Omega-61C9:/# opkg install bluez-libs bluez-utils
Unknown package 'bluez-libs'.
Unknown package 'bluez-utils'.
Collected errors:
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package bluez-libs.
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package bluez-utils.

Onion fails to deliver again. This is getting really frustrating!

Looks like the packages just aren't there anymore:

root@Omega-61C9:/# opkg list | grep blu
kmod-bluetooth - 4.14.81-1 - Kernel support for Bluetooth devices
kmod-input-uinput - 4.14.81-1 - user input modules needed for bluez

Onion is leaving customers that paid for something with no options to actually utilize the hardware they paid for.

Way to go, Wink wannabies!

Just to note that this has been yet another FULL three(3) years with no resolution on the current platform provided by the company. No matter what tips or tricks I tried, this piece of garbage STILL doesn't work here in Canada.
Onion please give me a way to return this $h!T and get my money back, ALL of it.

Just write up a doc, tested and verified if you have to that PROVES that this stuff works with a few extra steps. Don't make people read endless efforts and failures for HOURS of wasted time in trying to debug something that WORKED with the original firmware!

Also, provide the ORIGINAL firmware on your download URL (http://repo.onioniot.com/omega2/images/) so that some of us can at least limp along with old crap rather thank a useless brick!
@crispyoz @György-Farkas I don't know if you work for Onion but you seem VERY active here in the forums. Can you please connect this to the right folks and get this escalated?

@György-Farkas where the hell is the Onion team on this crap?

Fix your wifi for the planet, or kindly give me my money back for ALL of the stuff I have purchased! I'm not going through and rebooting these things half a dozen times to get wifi AND USB disk space added to my device. The steps aren't even guaranteed to work.

@Matt-Nelson said in Easy way to upgrade all installed packages?:

opkg list-upgradable | cut -d' ' -f1 | while read -r line; do opkg upgrade "$line"; done

@Matt-Nelson I believe your script to be accurate for an Omage2(+) but on an original omega the console output seems slightly different. Here's my working version of your script:

opkg list-upgradable | cut -d' ' -f3 | cut -d'(' -f2 | while read -r line; do opkg upgrade "$line"; done

Now, I'm running 0.1.4-b336 and everything seems to be at the latest but nice to keep a record here for future-selves.

I live in Canada. Sadly, this is as close to American WiFi as it gets
If the channel is set to auto, does it really matter what country I'm in? Shouldn't the driver scan and auto-negotiate all of this? Why was this working in 0.1.15 b130 WITHOUT removing this option?

Still smells A LOT like a defect given the fact that it worked with canned configured out of the box in prior releases of the firmware.

@Ganescu-Theodor I can concur on three different Onion 2(+) devices (one plus, two just 2s) that this fix works on 0.2.2 (latest stable) and 0.3.2 (latest).

You deserve a $10,000 USD bug bounty for this.

@onion.... BOOOOOOOOO!!!! I spent like a week of evenings on this. For SHAME! Fix it or hang it up and let the rest of us sleep.

@Ganescu-Theodor I believe this has solved my problem. Not exactly a resolution but at least not @onion has something they can change.

@onion please REMOVE the 'option country 'US' from the canned /etc/config/wireless file that comes with the firmware!

Could this be necessary for US encryption export laws?

@crispyoz

I connected to an OPEN ssid (not recommended for ANYONE, this is just plain dumb) and did the opkg update and installed haveged.

Didn't fix the problem.

@Lazar-Demin what is Onion doing about this? There is no end in sight for a simple, secure network connection.
