I think I found the problem. The dmesg output showed superblock has an invalid journal. Repaired with fsck.ext4 /dev/sda2. Due to the size, it talks a really long time to complete all passes.

I can't mount it:
root@Omega-E169:~# ls -ls /mnt
4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 25 21:46 sda1
4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 18 22:23 sda2
4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 18 05:21 sdb1
root@Omega-E169:~# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2
mount: mounting /dev/sda2 on /mnt/sda2 failed: Invalid argument

I just got a 1TB USB. I have two partitions. The first is a 1GB FAT16 and the second is a 974GB Linux partition. The first partition works fine as an overlay. I was able to use mkfs.ext4 on the second partition, but can't mount it. How could I do this as an automount? When I run mount it creates /tmp/run/mountd/sda2, but says its a symbolic loop.

Has anybody else had this problem? I was able to login as root with password onioneer. It suddenly refused my login either by ssh or the web console. Is there another login to get me in? What's the fix? Thanks!

@WereCatf This needs to be fixed. A private build of the libopenssl package is unacceptable. Hopefully, Onion will rectify this in a future update.

I've got the demo working of WeMo control of the Omega2. The steps to reproduce this (and a video) can be found on my blog:

http://tlcsecure.com/blog/alexa-omega2

The example script has device name "device" but can be renamed to something like "lights" and Alexa can be told to "turn the lights on" or "turn the lights off". It will be trivial to plug a USB lamp in and have the python script control the usb hub power with the hub-ctrl package.

cd /
wget http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/packages/gcc_5.4.0-2_mipsel_24kc.ipk
opkg update
opkg install gcc_5.4.0-2_mipsel_24kc.ipk

Now local gcc and g++ work.

I didn't show the opkg update output, but it has:

I followed the instructions on https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/c-compiler-on-omega.html#compiling-a-c-program-1

My omega2 has a USB overlay mounted on root for extra storage. I created a swapfile on the same USB for extra memory:

After edits to /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf, I issue:

opkg update
opkg install gcc

I get the following:

Installing gcc (5.4.0-2) to root...
Downloading http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/packages/gcc_5.4.0-2_mipsel_24kc.ipk

• opkg_install_pkg: Failed to download gcc. Perhaps you need to run 'opkg update'?
• opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package gcc.

Anyone else see this and is there a fix?

@Armstead-Smith
Ahh. The USB wasn't ext4. It works now!

@Kit-Bishop
Thanks for this. However, I tried it and the tar extract fails with
tar: can't open './upper/usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6.0': File exists
How can I get past this?

@luz OK. I got it and it's all built. Thanks. How do I do cross-compiling for an individual app?

@luz
I tried the above instructions, but menuconfig does not show a MediaaTek Ralink MIPS target. Is this still valid?
