Has anyone been able to get this running?

I followed the optware howto for the 3700
opkg install screen
root@DD-WRT root $ screen
/var/run/utmp: No such file or directory
[screen is terminating]

When I touch that file, screen flashes on the screen and terminates without running.

Works for me. Something's wrong with your optware setup.

Not much as I don't know which specific howto you're talking about. What I can tell you is I use dd-wrt build 16214 with packages from backfire 10.03.1-rc3.
On a side note, I see no trace of utmp on my wndr3700 and it doesn't complain about it.

I am using 16994 and maybe i need to start all over again.

I followed http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=86912 for the optware install.

And I have a 4gig flash drive under /mnt.

Can you please list all that you have installed? Maybe I forgot something?

You would only see utmp when you are runnng screen.

Edit: I never could get ipkg installed right so I never installed libc_0.9.30.1-43.10_ar71xx.ipk coreutils_7.2-1_ar71xx.ipk opkg_576-1_ar71xx.ipk

Could that have something to do with it? Do you recall the steps you took to get your's working?

From my experience, some rc4 packages tend to segfault so I stick with rc3.
This tutorial works if you adapt it a bit (things like /dev/discs/... are outdated) http://g300nh.blogspot.com/2010/06/software-installation-on-dd-wrt-part-1.html

This is the list of my packages :


busybox - 1.15.3-2
htop - 0.8.3-2
iftop - 0.17-2
kernel - 2.6.32.16-1
kmod-ipt-core - 2.6.32.16-1
libc - 0.9.30.1-43.3
libgcc - 4.3.3+cs-43.3
libiptc - 1.4.6-2
libncurses - 5.7-2
libpcap - 1.0.0-2
libpthread - 0.9.30.1-43.3
librt - 0.9.30.1-43.3
libusb - 0.1.12-2
miniupnpd - 1.4-1
nano - 2.2.5-1
pciutils - 3.1.7-2
screen - 4.0.3-2
strace - 4.5.20-1
uclibcxx - 0.2.2-3
usbutils - 0.86-2
zlib - 1.2.3-5

Ipkg is really just used to install opkg. Once opkg is installed, you use it to install the rest.

I followed your instructions and "screen" still refuses to run. I get the exact same error.

dtach --help

I actually got this working by installing useradd and adding another account. Also I found that if you follow the Installing OPTWARE the right way to the fullest, you actually break GNU Screen and you get the error mesage I originally posted.

Im sure it has to do with the root .profile as that was the last thing I did and it broke it.

Screen works on root account with opkg.conf like this :

cat /etc/opkg.conf

src/gz snapshots http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/
dest root /opt
dest ram /opt/tmp
lists_dir ext /opt/tmp/var/opkg-lists

And install screen ( or reinstall )

opkg install screen --force-reinstall
