Netgear have crippled their firmware for it, only one core active and only half the systems ram is available.

Well, then they are guilty of deceiving their customers,
Contact your local consumer rights office and demand getting half of paid price back. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
When asked about it, they said that they would enable the extra RAM and the second core "in a future firmware update".
I guess it takes a lot of engineering time to enable sparse memory support in the kernel. </sarcasm>
Highmem is not that much of a problem, but dual core is, the current firmware was designed for single core, nobody cared about multithreading and thus they have lots of problems now.
Which means they need quite some testing in order to find these bugs. In addition to that they probably have to apply quite a few patches for the arm to their outdated kernel:-) _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

Actually, Broadcom uses sparse memory rather than high memory. I was also originally using highmem in my FW, until I saw Asus switch to sparse when they sent me an updated SDK back in May, so I also did the same switch. Unsure if there is any real difference between both methods, I saw DD-WRT also uses highmem.
But still, it surprises me that Netgear didn't at least enable that in the release version. SMP is indeed a bigger issue. I guess Asus started working on adapting for SMP earlier than Netgear, which allowed them to ship the release product with SMP fully enabled (and having even done some threading optimizations of their own).

what is stoping you from making a build that includes it? I think its great to fill up my useless jffs2
also since these routers have an idiotic 128MB flash why don't you megasize the busybox so it includes everything? I would love it
anyway im up for it... looks great.
that sounds awesome although theres nothing wrong with bigger flash chips 1GB+ would be ideal ...
a micro hdd would be cool 2. not aware of any though
full r/w access would be cool or sudolike ex blacklisting things instead of removing them for read-only stuff then bridging the usb filesystem with the main filesystem in a more or less completely transparent way
a usb drive partition/formater would be cool as ive had a hard time getting my router 2 mount multiple partitions
alot of useful things seem to be missing from busybox
i would probably use the owncloud was thinking of buying a dedicated nas but would rather not and this would give me one less reason 2 do so
Owncloud as well as pydio support is already included in latest builds, just mount a partition to /jffs via USB "Mount to /jffs" then setup samba share. Enable the webserver in the webif under services, now copy the extracted owncloud or pydio files to /jffs/www and connect to it via routerip:81 _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

Please install one of theses locales on your system and restart your webserver.
any ideas on how to fix?
We don't include any locale system, thus this is normal, schould not cause any trouble.
I didn't include curl because curl is only needed for the integrated owncloud update feature and that is broken anyways, they have some trouble with their certificate and thus update would only work if we ship all certs. Maybe I'll look into it when I test my package repo. If the repo holds curl + ssl certs etc. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

I got the same problem with the locale.
How can I make it works?
Thanks!
Do you experience any problems, or is it just ownclouds warning, that annoys you?
Getting locale support on the router is not that easy, as the base system e.g. busybox needs to support it first. Thus it would increase the firmware size by a fair amount and while these units have 128MB flash only part of it can be used for the actual system. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

I think it's only the warning, but I don't know how to see the configuration page or how to start with it. I always get the same message when I try to connect to the webserver. I'm stuck to that page with the locale failed.

Am I the only one with this problem?
Thanks for your help!
OK, now I understand, the new owncloud forces you to use it, I was still on the older 5.x version, which just gives a warning in the management page, but works fine otherwise. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

Sorry to necro this thread. I was just wondering if anyone was still running this on their routers? I wanted to give it a try on my R7000 that run's <Kong>'s builds. Any changes to run it, or is the setup and config process the same still? _________________ Netgear R7000 w/r31780M <KONG> build
Netgear R6700 (Un-opened with stock. My backup/emergency router if the R7000 takes a dump...)
2x Buffalo WHR-HP-GN 28493 (Used for 2.4 Ghz bridge when needed.)
Asus WL-500g Premium (1x v1 & 1x v2) (Still have, but retired for now.)
1x Linksys WRT54G v8 >>DD-WRT v24SP1 (The other routers needed something to point at and make fun of.)

As I recently tried the latest owncloud 9.1. I can confirm, that it still works the same way and I had no issues. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

Is this specific to a Kong build? I don't see webif under services.
