RX today: Error: Interface "--oneline" not found in database.

[konki]

Hi,

 

A strange error appeared with the last kernel update on an Odroid HC2. From the home in the terminal displays this error under RX totay: 

RX today:      Error: Interface "--oneline" not found in database.

The board is hosting an OMV instance under Armbian Bullseye Linux version 5.4.212-odroidxu4.

Does anyone have any idea about the origin of this message which does not seem to disrupt the NAS operation.

thanks

The ethernet interface on my Odroid HC1 is called enx1213232232 (fake numbers).

/etc/default/armbian-motd, in PRIMARY_INTERFACE looks for enp and eth.

I've added enx and it works correctly now.

Thank you very much,

 

This may help others!

root@myodroid:~# vi /etc/default/armbian-motd

PRIMARY_INTERFACE="$(ls -1 /sys/class/net/ | grep -v lo | egrep "enp|eth|enx" | head -1)"

Have a good weekend.

@konki , @Dan Andresan - This seems to no longer be an issue in newer stable releases.  My odroid xu4s have this line in /etc/default/armbian-motd:
 

PRIMARY_INTERFACE="$(ls -1 /sys/class/net/ | grep -E "en|eth|wl" -m 1)"

Let me know if you are still seeing this and I will take a look at getting the build updated.

Because I didnt want a end0: as eth0: device on my NanoPi A64 I added

extraargs=net.ifnames=0 

to my /boot/armbianEnv.txt

 

But on bootup the armbian-motd told me

RX today:      Error: No interface matching "eth0" found in database.

 

The armbian-motd in /etc/default has the line

PRIMARY_INTERFACE="$(ls -1 /sys/class/net/ | grep -E "en|eth|wl" -m 1)"

 

On the commandline I do get a clear etho with this command:

root@npi-a64-116:~# ls -1 /sys/class/net/ | grep -E "en|eth|wl" -m 1
eth0

 

Where is "the database"? and why have we an end0: device (and not and enx?)

[EDIT]

found how to add the eth0 to the database (on my other SBCs is was already there).

The command is:

vnstat --add -i eth0

I run Armbian on an Odroid-HC2 (Homecloud 2) which uses the odroid-xu4 firmware.
On the welcome banner RX today: always showed a nice value.

Since December 2022 when I last updated it suddenly showed Error: Interface "veth•••••••" not found in database.

And I can confirm: I use 2 docker images on that device, so that may cause unusual devices at /sys/class/net/ which the motd script handles wrongly.

 

Note: • redacted by me.

/etc/default/armbian-motd

[…]
PRIMARY_INTERFACE="$(ls -1 /sys/class/net/ | grep -v lo | egrep "enp|eth" | head -1)"
[…]

$ ls -1 /sys/class/net/
br-••••••••••••
docker0
enx••••••••••••
lo
veth•••••••

 

Simple fix: Change PRIMARY_INTERFACE to the grep expression "First device that starts with "en", in case you have only one physical Ethernet connection.

 

PRIMARY_INTERFACE="$(ls -1 /sys/class/net/ | grep -v lo | egrep "^en" | head -1)"

After that "RX today" on the welcome banner again shows some meaningful statistics.
