Snakeoil Firmware - 1.1.8 (Blind Testing Update 8)

[agent_kith]

Hi,

I just got around to doing the latest fw patch and it errors out;

----
SHA1SUM: 


*** ERROR *** Uploaded file missing, upload aborted?
*** ERROR *** Uploaded file missing, upload aborted?

I'm guessing the php upload limit was restored to the default miniscule size. You can either modify the php.ini files directly (modify both cgi and cli), aor you can try the sideload method which will also work.

Nothing at all shows in the console. I looked at the files in /var/log that were modified and the only thing that I could find was in kern.log with the following 2 lines of errors;

Dec 11 23:27:59 NUC kernel: r8169 0000:03:00.0: Direct firmware load for rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw failed with error -2
Dec 11 23:27:59 NUC kernel: r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: unable to load firmware patch rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw (-2)

Hmm. Although un-related, seems your card needs a fix... Can you SSH into your system, and run

Code:

sudo apt install linux-firmware

Then reboot the computer. These two messages should go away.

[Edit] Since the last fw release, I also ran the update to bring the system up to Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS. Not sure if that is relevant....

Yes it should be this. Did you do this from the WebApp or from the SSH console? I'm having successes and failures whenever I tried this from the WebApp, and still working out why it'll suceeed, or fail (AFAICT, it's completely random!).
