Optware was originally developed as a distribution mechanism for software for the Open Source Linux project for the Linksys NSLU2 (a small low cost network storage device). That consumer storage device ran on Linux, and the community opened it up, but they needed a lightweight distribution mechanism for their lightweight devices.
Since 2004 Optware has been adopted by a variety of Linux communities and device developers including the webOS community working on the Palm Pre and Pixi, and developers for devices as diverse as Asus WL-500g,WL-HDD, WL-500gx, WL-500gP routers, the Synology DS-101 and DS-101g+ NAS devices.
At its core, Optware is a package manager to allow you to easly install and uninstall cross-compiled linux applications on your device over the internet. At this time, optware supports the automatic download and installation of over 1500 programs. (See the list at the end of the wiki article.)
Why should I use Optware?
Like the original slug, android devices lack a distribution mechanism to install Linux/command line tools programs and utilities. Many in the Android community who want or need to do command line processing on their device use a chroot of some sort (Debian seems popular) to get their distribution and package management tools. With Optware, it becomes possible to simply run whatever utility or program you want on the native underlying Linux.
Additionally, Optware For Android installs openSSH making it possible to access your Nook from any PC with SSH capability, and sets up an unprivileged username/password login system for the device at the command line. All in all then, since it can be installed with a single script, since it's lightweight, and since it's designed for small and embedded devices, Optware is a perfect fit for the Android community.
Optware for Nook is the first Optware for Android release by the Novaports team and is their gift to the Android community members who have helped them so much with information on Android devices.
What does it do?
The Optware bootstrap installed the IPKG package manager. It installs the optware Busybox. It installs openSSH and makes the ssh demon persistent. It creates an unprivileged user with a username and password you choose.
See Installation instructions and details at the Optware for Android page at Nookdevs.com
For completeness of licensing compliance, the source code for all optware package can be found at the following locations:
1) build scripts at svn.nslu2-linux.org in the /svnroot/optware/ area
2) tarballs at sources.nslu2-linux.org in the /sources area (this is a *large* directory)

This works beautifully! Thank you!
Gonna try this and see if i can get samba to work.. a SMB mount over wifi would be awsome...
Many thanks!
I don't suppose there's a quick and easy way to completely remove optware?... not looking forward to culling through scripts and manually un-doing it all.....
adduser: not found
When it gets to the part in the install script to add the username of the unprivileged user, I enter a name, then it says: adduser: not found.
If it helps, I am using Rooted Stock 1.1.
Anyone get Optware to install on CM7 (newer nightly)
I am running CM7 #103 and would love to have optware installed.
But I get Fail if I try to use the method from Nookdevs
Tonight when I have more time I will look at the errors and see if I can tell what is up.
It looked like partially due to missing dir's for one (/tmp)

Am I the only one that wants Optware on CM7?
It goes fine on a manualnootered 1.2.0 NC But I prefer CM7 (And use the nightlies)
I would love to get this going on my NC as well. Running CM7 N121 w/ 6/30/2011 OC kernel. Was able to manually work past the tmp directory problem you mentioned, but I can't seem to execute the ipkg binary or installed. I've verified it indeed exists in the path I'm trying to execute it from, it has +x perms for user/ group/ other, but it always gives the error below:
/data/opt/bin/ipkg: not found
I've tried messing with bin directory and ipkg binary ownership, but no dice. If anything it should at least find it even if permissions aren't correct.
Looks like the contents of the binary reference ELF libraries which sounds like an issue attempting to execute in an Android environment. Going to see if I can chroot an environment that will work for it.

This is happening because it's looking for /lib/ld-linux.so.3, and not finding it. I worked around by
ln -s /data/opt/lib/ld-linux.so.3 /lib/ld-linux.so.3
I also had to make these links:
ln -s /data/opt /opt
ln -s /data/tmp /tmp
And then set this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/lib
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin/:/opt/sbin
in my bash profile to get things to start working.
One problem is my symlinks seem to get erased every reboot. I worked around by re-creating them in my bash profile, but I wish I knew how to make them permanent. This may be a ROM specific thing - this was written for a rooted stock nook, and I'm on an Epic running SFR.
I do not have a ld-linux.so.3 file on my NC w/ CM7 125
I have many other errors that show up:

Any ideas?
The actual file it needs is /data/opt/lib/ld-linux.so.3 - you need to create a symlink in /lib in order to see it. But I think that file comes from the optware installer - if the installer is failing, you won't have it there either. It sounds like you may have bits of a previous install that failed, and it's preventing the install from running properly. Try looking at the log in /data/tmp for more info. After that, try rm -rf /data/tmp/* to clean up the old install and trying again.
Thank You for any pointers.
I deleted everything in /data/tmp first last attempt - like you suggested.
Same result
I have it down to only this error now when I run it (optware-bootstrap-0.0.1.shar):
Updating the Optware package database:
optware-bootstrap-0.0.1.shar: ipkg-opt: not found
ERROR: Failed to update the local Optware package database
ipkg-opt should be in /data/opt/bin. Check to see if it's there... if not, something went wrong in one of the previous steps - probably somewhere around "Downloading the latest ipkg-opt package from the Optware package feed". See if wget is actually downloading anything, where it's putting it, and what it's doing with it afterwards.
If it is there, try running it manually. If you see /data/opt/bin/ipkg or /data/opt/bin/ipkg-opt but it claims it's not there when you run it, it may be a library linking error. Mine was looking for /lib/ld-linux.so.3 but it was actually installed at /data/opt/lib/ld-linux.so.3. mount -o remount,rw followed by ln -s /data/opt/lib/ld-linux.so.3 /lib/ld-linux.so.3 fixed that. I also had to run
ln -s /data/opt /opt
ln -s /data/tmp /tmp
before things started working.
By the way:
ntfsprogs - NTFS filesystem libraries and utilities
Could that be of any use? At the moment, it's not possible to mount NTFS storage on the NC
i would love to know how you guys get to this point even. When i try to install the very fist line of the script is an error and then nothing at all happens .... something about not finding busybox or something of that nature.
So you guys are getting WAY farther than I've been able to.
Tkx Tonygoes.
It is there in /data/opt/bin but it reports /data/opt/bin/ipkg: not found
I cannot find a ld-linux.so.3 on my NC at all.
I did the other links et al fro your comments also
obsid:
Try post 12 above:
and I had some other suggestions from someone:
might try thses FIRST the script seems to do it but may not actually get it done.
mount -o remount,rw / /
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
you should also if tried before do this: rm -rf /data/tmp/
then do the items in post #12 above
NOTE for me the ln -s to ld-linux.so.3 does not work as I do not have that file on my system
Hi!
I successfully use(d) OpenVPN with the available tun.ko versions on my Galaxy Tab.
I tried to move that to the brand new European version of the 10.1 (no V, GT-P7500, Kernel 2.6.36.3, [email protected] #1, buildnr HMJ37 P7500XXWKG9, baseband XXKG7, ). But obviously, there is no tun.ko in the kernel and the available versions of tun.ko do not work with the 3.1 Honeycomb kernel.
Does anybody has compiled a tun.ko for this kernel already or can guide/tell me, how to do this myself?
Regards,

Moving to Q&A
I am searching badly for a solution tu use PPTP VPN on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (no v) 3G, too!
In the meantime, I learned that tun.ko is part even of the stock kernel. Nevertheless, I did not get it running with the setup I used on my Galaxy Tab.
Are you sure? I did a search for the file but nothing was found.
if preshoot already upload his git sources, I can do this for you guys.
Just wait for him,to upload his latest sources...

That would be nice.
richardtrip here told me, that tun.ko is already in the stock kernel.
I am presently trying to find out what detail makes problems in the connection to my Linux server. A connection is established, but not fully and yet not useable.
Hi!
I did some experiments with my OpenSuse 10.3 server and the Tab 10.1.
With the tun-device, I can establish a connection. But the 10.1 does not receive its address in the VPN network, ifconfig does not show the tun-device as device.
The same configuration which works flawlessly on my Galaxy Tab does not work on the 10.1.
Perhaps somebody is experienced with the OpenVPN configuration in this case.
Some more findings:
The device used is tap, but tunctl must be called to create a persistent tapx.
tunctl expects /dev/net/tun which must be either created by a symlink (/dev/tun exists, mkdir /dev/net, ln -s /dev/net/tun /dev/tun) or must be added with parameter -f on commandline.
It also seems that ifconfig has different parameters than on my Galaxy Tab. Starting OpenVPN from commandline, it complains about route/ifconfig with wrong parameters.
With special thanks to Amarok, I could get his solution also working on my Tab 10.1:
Install Busybox from Market
Install OpenVPN Installer from Market and install to
binaries: /system/xbin
route/ifconfig: /system/xbin/bb
Create /system/xbin/bb with Root Explorer or from shell
Create link to busybox for ifconfig and route
ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/bb/route
ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig
Check permissions for /system/xbin/openvpn, it should be 777 (rwxrwxrwx)
Using the openvpn binary from my galaxy tab (copy into /system/xbin, chmod 777) got OpenVPN finally working.

The last step ? From you which tab did you copy openvpn ? Is it possible to get the specific openvpn. Still not working on my side.

So the tun.ko with stock works? When I run openvpn from either cli or openvpn settings tab it'll connect but I get no ip address. The only errors I'm getting are " Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in [PUSH-OPTIONS]:4: route (2.1.1)". So is using the attached openvpn binary all it took?

What about tun.ko???? I run the same GT as you though 7500 3.1 ??
As already stated, tun.ko is part of the stock firmware.
Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1 using Tapatalk.
I dont find tun.ko on my GT when I search with root explorer..
my tun.ko is located in /data/media/openvpn/openvpn/tun.ko
On my Tab, a separate tun.ko is not required. OpenVPN works anyway, as that seems to be an integral part of the kernel.
I'm trying to use the openvpn settings as well but when I try to connect I get
"Fatal:Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically"
and when I try to insmod tun.ko using adb, I get this error:
"init.module 'tun.ko' failed <Exec format error>
I'm using pershoot's most up to date kernel (yesterday) with the tun.ko file that was included with it. I also tried with the one supplied in this thread as a .rar file and I received the same errors.
Any ideas?

Hey everybody.
I also have some problem with openvpn connection.
At first i turn on openvpn the start the configuration (at the same time i started a ping on my server: ping 300.300.300.300 -t)
After that my ping works for 12 - 14 times. After the 12 + 14 times then it shows "out of time" error message.
What have i done wrong? (Every 5 seconds at the bottom of my tab it shows "myvpn.openvpn: Connected"
Preferences:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Rooted
Android 3.1
Newest Busybox
Done everything from the tutorial of this topic
Update: When i turn the tun module on then the ping only works for about 9 times.
After about 20 failed pings, the pink works again for the amount i wrote.
Hello guys,
I've compiled the CIFS module for our X10 (stock kernel version for 2.3.3, that is 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 ).
Introduction
CIFS is for allowing to mount SAMBA/CIFS shares from Windows (mostly), so that they appear like a folder on the phone.
Specifically, you can watch movies on your X10 from a share, without first copying them to the phone. In fact you can mount any SAMBA share and do all operations with it.
There are two modules that do the job: cifs.ko (which is the main one) as well as nls_utf8.ko which just provides UTF-8 support for file/folder names within the shares.
Installation
Once you have unpacked the zip and extracted the two modules into the folder of your choice, the commands are these:
Code:
adb push "nls_utf8.ko" /sdcard/nls_utf8.ko
adb push "cifs.ko" /sdcard/cifs.ko
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/lib/modules
cp /sdcard/nls_utf8.ko .
cp /sdcard/cifs.ko .
insmod nls_utf8.ko
insmod cifs.ko
mkdir /sdcard/cifs
mount -o username=<yours>,password=<yours>,iocharset=utf8 -t cifs //<serverip>/<sharename> /sdcard/cifs
Now you can cd to your /sdcard/cifs and see the files shared there.
Observations
1. nls_utf8.ko is not mandatory and if your files don't have UTF-8 characters and only ascii, you can skip it IF you remove the isocharset=utf8 from the mount command above.
2. Music will stutter with all players I've tried. found an opinion that might be android lowlevel subsystem for reading mp3 files, and that they don't buffer enough - and given the latency over WIFI, this will create pauses / stuttering in the music. However, you can still copy the audio files, etc.
3. Movie playing works! I've tried RockPlayer for few minutes and didn't have an issue (seems it handles buffering very well) since it is software and thus they don't rely on some Android codec / etc.
4. Skip works! Again in Rock Player, you can skip in the movie and it takes a bit to skip there, but it does.
5. umount usually fails, since I assume, Android apps don't really exit and don't really free the resources. Once a file open, it doesn't let me un-mount saying that the resource / device is busy.

Absolutely no problem Z please do.
This module definetly requires an app to manage CIFS, mounting them with selected user/pass/path.
You can try cifs manager, its good.
Btw i thought the new sources weren't released yet.
I'm using old 2.1 sources and I could build these modules using Sony's blog post about how to compile kernels (with their CodeSourcery compiler) and a bit of Google foo.
Btw, I have another one ready, the cpufreq_interactive one which I'm creating a new thread now.
Later edit:
Although initially I read posts complaining about Sony's decision to keep the old 2.1 kernel (2.6.29) instead of the recommended (2.6.32) for GingerBread, it turned out that it was actually a smart move
Basically, the cifs module at least was much more difficult to port, due to the slow_work.ko module that needed to be compiled as well and inserted before.

Yes - if you handle copying the module to sdcard separately and then you become root in terminal, then it's the same.

When you start the terminal, you notice you have a $ sign displayed to the left of the command prompt. That means you do not have the rights to do most things, since $ is for standard (limited) user.
What you need is to type command
Code:
su
And then your prompt will change to the dash sign #.
That means now you have full control over the phone, and you can start typing the commands.
Please double check what you do, and that you typed correctly - otherwise, as root, you might render your phone useless. Do not attempt if you don't feel confident enough and that you know what you are doing.

Sorry for being noob. I think this module is awesome but dont know how to use
Got an exec format error when trying to insmod.
What can i try to solve this please ?
Thanks !
Hi,
I want use CifsManager to mount network share and I face a problem with loading cifs.ko, the insmod return "insmod: init_module 'cifs.ko' failed (Exec format error)".
My samsung is :
GT-P5110
Androd version : 4.1.1
Kernel version : 3.0.31-523998
After reading some forum, i think the problem is with cifs.ko file ( not build for this kernel).
Any one can help, please
best regards.

I checked if my phone is loop compatible using, the following in terminal emulator : zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP , i found it on a webpage , and i got y, that means it is a loop device, but when i ran CompleteLinuxInstaller i got into the following problem
Checking loop device ... FOUND
mount: mounting /dev/block/loop255 on /data/local/mnt failed : Invalid Argument
ERROR: Unable to mount the loop device
but when i did modprobe loop
it didn't find anything
so if you can help, me i am not a genius, just tell me the simplest way to fix this.
btw i want to install unbuntu 13.10 i have everything downloaded(Terminal emulator, Complete linux installer, AndroidVNC, and the 3.72gb image file)

I don't own that phone. And so I cannot say much about it.
But my personal advice is to take backup of everything before you proceed with any changes to your phone.
