 Posted: Thu Jun 28, 2012 21:35 Post subject: Howto reinstall Bash |
 |
I think I need to reinstall Bash. I don't know how to only install Bash.
The power to my Asus WL-500GPV2 was cut and on reboot now the USB stick is not mounting.
Most of the Optware scripts in /opt/etc/init.d are returning 'Bus Error' (the USB mounting script is one) and if I try to run a Bash shell I also get 'Bus Error'. Since the failing scripts are run in BASH, I think Bash is corrupted.
Note: any other commands from the same folder as Bash (E.g. TAIL) run as normal.
So, how do I reinstall BASH?
I've tried using the line from the Optware installing script
ipkg install bash -f /tmp/ipkg.conf
This reminds me that I must have jffs enabled so I mounted a jffs on to the Opt folder and ipkg update but still get the message:

ipkg_get_install: Check the spelling and maybe run `ipkg update'.

Thanks,
