− | [http://code.google.com/p/opkg/ OPKG] ( | + | [http://code.google.com/p/opkg/ OPKG] (short for '''O'''pen '''P'''ac'''K'''a'''G'''e Management) is a leightweight [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_management_system package management system] for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_system embedded systems] such as the Dreambox. OPKG is a fork of [[IPKG (en)|IPKG]] and was introduced in the Deambox world since [http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Main_Page OE] 1.6. (For dreamboxes with OE 2.2, [[APT (en)|APT]] is used.) |
− | [[Kategorie: | + | The package management in the [[Shell (en)|shell]] is a powerful tool for the Dreambox, and offers far more possibilities compared to the package management with the remote control. Of course, using the remote control is easy and most of the time adequate. But maybe this article can convince you to give it a try via [[Telnet (en)|Telnet]] or [[SSH (en)|SSH]]. |
− | [[Kategorie:Enigma2]] | + | |
+ | This article explains how to search / install / remove packages and some more interesting commands which offers OPKG. If you want to learn all options of OPKG, enter following command in the [[Shell (en)|Terminal]]: | ||
+ | |||
+ | opkg | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Install packages via internet == | ||
+ | To be able to install a package, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_repository feed] defined in the <code>/etc/opkg</code>, should be updated. If this is not done, the installation will be terminated with the error message: <code>Unknown package ....</code>. Always enter the following command before installing: | ||
+ | <syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | opkg update | ||
+ | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{Warnung|Be careful when integrating 3rd party package feeds. If the feed is not available, or not maintained correctly, upgrading the firmware or installing packages will fail!}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Installation === | ||
+ | The installation of a package is done with the following command: | ||
+ | <syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | opkg install $package_name | ||
+ | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | <code>'''$package_name'''</code> should be replaced by the correct name. E.g. when installing [[WebAdmin (en)|webadmin]], the command is: | ||
+ | <syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | root@dm8000:~# opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin | ||
+ | Installing enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin (4.0) to root... | ||
+ | Downloading http://dreamboxupdate.com/opendreambox/2.0.3/ipk/mips32el/enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin_4.0_mips32el.ipk. | ||
+ | Configuring enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin. | ||
+ | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | The question is, how can you know the correct package name. The name can be found here in the wiki, or in the board. Or you can search with the package management system, as described below. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{Hinweis|If the installation results in an error message, this means the package is not on the feed (<code>Unknown package...</code>), or there are some dependencies to other required packages missing (<code>Cannot satisfy the following dependencies...</code>).}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Search package === | ||
+ | There are different ways to search a package. First of all the package management offers the option <code>search</code>, but unfortunately this option doesn't work quite well. Better results are obtained with the option <code>list</code>. The following command shows how to use <code>[[BusyBox (en)#Important_shell_commands|grep]]</code> to search for any string. | ||
+ | <syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | opkg list | grep search_term | ||
+ | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | E.g. when searching for webadmin, the search result is as follows. The name of the package, which is needed for the installation, is on the left side. The correct package name for the <code>webadmin</code> is <code>enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin</code>. | ||
+ | <syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | root@dm8000:~# opkg list | grep webadmin | ||
+ | enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin - 4.0 - Additional plugins for Enigma2 | ||
+ | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | It's also possible to use an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterisk Asterisk] symbol as wildcard in the search term. The search for <code>*webadmin*</code>, results iin: | ||
+ | <syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | root@dm8000:~# opkg list *webadmin* | ||
+ | enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin - 4.0 - Additional plugins for Enigma2 | ||
+ | Extension for enigma2 webinterface to install Ipkgs telnet client | ||
+ | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Constrain the package search ==== | ||
+ | Once you know the naming convention for packages (plugins, skin etc.), the search can be optimized to find faster the desired package. With the following search terms it's easy to filter the package names from the available feeds. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * gemini → shows the different [[GP3 Blue Panel (en)#GP3 Addons|GP3 Addons]] | ||
+ | * gp-skin → shows all the available GP3 Skins | ||
+ | * gp-icons → shows all the different GP3 Icon Packages | ||
+ | * enigma2-plugin-systemplugins → shows the [[Enigma2 (en)|Enigma2]] System Plugins | ||
+ | * enigma2-plugin-extensions → shows Enigma2 extentions | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Deinstallation === | ||
+ | Removing a package is done like this: | ||
+ | <syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | opkg remove $package_name | ||
+ | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | For <code>'''$package_name'''</code> the correct name must be used. E.g. for removing the [[WebAdmin (en)|webadmin]], use the following command: | ||
+ | <syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | root@dm8000:~# opkg remove enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin | ||
+ | Removing package enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin from root... | ||
+ | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Install local packages == | ||
+ | Packages (e.g. skins, plugin, ets.) which are offered in the IhaD board, but which are not on a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_repository feed], can be installed easily by the package management. Of course we don't use the software management, the [[ GP3 File Browser (en)|GP3 File Browser]] or the [[ GP3.2 eCommander (en)|eCommander]], but we use [[Telnet (en)|telnet]] or [[SSH (en)|SSH]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Download the package and use [[FTP (en)|FTP]] to copy the file in the directory <code>/tmp</code> of the Dreambox. Now update the package lists, this way the dependencies (if required) for the package will be resolved and installed. The command is: | ||
+ | |||
+ | opkg update | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{Warnung|Please keep in mind, packages from external sources can damage the system!}} | ||
+ | {{Achtung|Use the correct [[OPKG_(en)#Package_architecture_for_local_installations| package architecture]], for the different Dreamboxes and used OpenEmbedded versions!}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Installation of one package === | ||
+ | Use the following command for the installation. | ||
+ | <syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | opkg install /tmp/$file_name_of_the_package | ||
+ | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | Keep in mind, the '''complete''' file name must be specified. E.g. if installing the skin <code>gp-skin-ln.hd_gp32-20130903_all.ipk</code>, the command is as follows. Use the {{Taste|TAB}} to complete the file name automatically. | ||
+ | <syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | opkg install /tmp/gp-skin-ln.hd_gp32-20130903_all.ipk | ||
+ | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | Of course it's also possible to use an asterisk as wildcard, this way you don't need to write the complete name. E.g: | ||
+ | <syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | opkg install /tmp/gp-skin* | ||
+ | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Installation of multiple packages === | ||
+ | The installation of multiple packages is also easy, once all files are copied with [[FTP (en)|FTP]] in the directory <code>/tmp</code> on the Dreambox. Use the following command to install all packages. By the way, this works also for the installation of one package ;) | ||
+ | <syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | opkg install /tmp/*.ipk | ||
+ | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Deinstallation === | ||
+ | The removal of a package is also done with the package name (without the version and the extention ipk) and the following command: | ||
+ | <syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | opkg remove $package_name | ||
+ | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | Of course the <code>'''$package_name'''</code> needs to be replaced by the correct name. If you want to remove the <code>ln.hd</code> skin, use the command: | ||
+ | <syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | root@dm8000:~# opkg remove gp-skin-ln.hd | ||
+ | Removing package gp-skin-ln.hd from root... | ||
+ | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Other interesting commands == | ||
+ | === Update sources === | ||

+ | === Upgrade Firmware === | ||
+ | With the following command it's possible to install all available updates for your Dreambox. | ||
+ | <syntaxhighlight> | ||

OPKG (short for Open PacKaGe Management) is a leightweight package management system for embedded systems such as the Dreambox. OPKG is a fork of IPKG and was introduced in the Deambox world since OE 1.6. (For dreamboxes with OE 2.2, APT is used.)
The package management in the shell is a powerful tool for the Dreambox, and offers far more possibilities compared to the package management with the remote control. Of course, using the remote control is easy and most of the time adequate. But maybe this article can convince you to give it a try via Telnet or SSH.
This article explains how to search / install / remove packages and some more interesting commands which offers OPKG. If you want to learn all options of OPKG, enter following command in the Terminal:

Install packages via internet
To be able to install a package, the feed defined in the /etc/opkg
, should be updated. If this is not done, the installation will be terminated with the error message: Unknown package ....
. Always enter the following command before installing:
opkg update
Be careful when integrating 3rd party package feeds. If the feed is not available, or not maintained correctly, upgrading the firmware or installing packages will fail! |
Installation
The installation of a package is done with the following command:
opkg install $package_name
$package_name
should be replaced by the correct name. E.g. when installing webadmin, the command is:
root@dm8000:~# opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin Installing enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin (4.0) to root... Downloading http://dreamboxupdate.com/opendreambox/2.0.3/ipk/mips32el/enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin_4.0_mips32el.ipk. Configuring enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin.
The question is, how can you know the correct package name. The name can be found here in the wiki, or in the board. Or you can search with the package management system, as described below.
Search package
There are different ways to search a package. First of all the package management offers the option search
, but unfortunately this option doesn't work quite well. Better results are obtained with the option list
. The following command shows how to use grep
to search for any string.
opkg list | grep search_term
E.g. when searching for webadmin, the search result is as follows. The name of the package, which is needed for the installation, is on the left side. The correct package name for the webadmin
is enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin
.
root@dm8000:~# opkg list | grep webadmin enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin - 4.0 - Additional plugins for Enigma2
It's also possible to use an Asterisk symbol as wildcard in the search term. The search for *webadmin*
, results iin:
root@dm8000:~# opkg list *webadmin* enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin - 4.0 - Additional plugins for Enigma2 Extension for enigma2 webinterface to install Ipkgs telnet client
Constrain the package search
Once you know the naming convention for packages (plugins, skin etc.), the search can be optimized to find faster the desired package. With the following search terms it's easy to filter the package names from the available feeds.
- gemini → shows the different GP3 Addons
- gp-skin → shows all the available GP3 Skins
- gp-icons → shows all the different GP3 Icon Packages
- enigma2-plugin-systemplugins → shows the Enigma2 System Plugins
- enigma2-plugin-extensions → shows Enigma2 extentions
Deinstallation
Removing a package is done like this:
opkg remove $package_name
For $package_name
the correct name must be used. E.g. for removing the webadmin, use the following command:
root@dm8000:~# opkg remove enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin
Removing package enigma2-plugin-extensions-webadmin from root...
Install local packages
Packages (e.g. skins, plugin, ets.) which are offered in the IhaD board, but which are not on a feed, can be installed easily by the package management. Of course we don't use the software management, the GP3 File Browser or the eCommander, but we use telnet or SSH.
Download the package and use FTP to copy the file in the directory /tmp
of the Dreambox. Now update the package lists, this way the dependencies (if required) for the package will be resolved and installed. The command is:
opkg update
Please keep in mind, packages from external sources can damage the system! |
Use the correct package architecture, for the different Dreamboxes and used OpenEmbedded versions! |
Installation of one package
Use the following command for the installation.
opkg install /tmp/$file_name_of_the_package
Keep in mind, the complete file name must be specified. E.g. if installing the skin gp-skin-ln.hd_gp32-20130903_all.ipk
, the command is as follows. Use the TAB to complete the file name automatically.
opkg install /tmp/gp-skin-ln.hd_gp32-20130903_all.ipk
Of course it's also possible to use an asterisk as wildcard, this way you don't need to write the complete name. E.g:
opkg install /tmp/gp-skin*
Installation of multiple packages
The installation of multiple packages is also easy, once all files are copied with FTP in the directory /tmp
on the Dreambox. Use the following command to install all packages. By the way, this works also for the installation of one package ;)
opkg install /tmp/*.ipk
Deinstallation
The removal of a package is also done with the package name (without the version and the extention ipk) and the following command:
opkg remove $package_name
Of course the $package_name
needs to be replaced by the correct name. If you want to remove the ln.hd
skin, use the command:
root@dm8000:~# opkg remove gp-skin-ln.hd
Removing package gp-skin-ln.hd from root...
Other interesting commands
Update sources
Allways update the sources before any package manipulation (e.g. installation, search, download of packages), with the command:
opkg update
Upgrade Firmware
With the following command it's possible to install all available updates for your Dreambox.
opkg upgrade
Chain commands
With two "and" symbols (&&) it's possible to chain commands. This way the second command is executed, as soon as the first is succesfully performed. The following command is very often used, to update the sources and the firmware.
opkg update && opkg upgrade
Install multiple packages from the feeds
opkg install $package_name $package_name $package_name $package_name
Deinstall multiplpe packages
opkg remove $package_name $package_name $package_name $package_name
Show all available packages from the feeds
opkg list
Show all installed packages
opkg list-installed
Show installed package
The following command can be used to search for an installed package. If the package is installed the name is shown with the version number. If no output is displayed, the package is not installed ot the name of the package is wrong.
opkg list-installed $package_name
Show upgradable packages
opkg list-upgradable
Show packages page by page
Packages can be shown with the command more
. Use the space or ↵ Enter to continue.
opkg list | more opkg list-installed | more opkg list-upgradable | more
Install packages from a website
Packages can be installed directly from a web adress, e.g. with following command.
opkg install http://www.yyy.com/zzzz/$package_name.ipk
Download package from the feed
opkg download $package_name
Show package information
opkg info $package_name
Show package dependencies
Lists packages which are mandatory for an installation.
opkg depends $package_name
Show packages which require the package as dependency
Shows the packages which have the $package_name
as required dependency.
opkg whatdepends $package_name
Simulate package installation
Loads the package and simulates the installation. Ideal to check if an installation would be performed succesfully.
opkg --noaction $package_name
Deinstall package with all dependencies
Removes a package and all installed dependencies.
opkg --autoremove $package_name
Set package on hold
Prevent an update of a package (using the flag hold
).
opkg flag hold $package_name
Release package
Release a package which is on hold
.
opkg flag user $package_name
List the compatible package architectures
Shows the content of the file /etc/opkg/arch.conf
.
opkg print-architecture
Tips and Tricks
Proxy Server
When using a Proxy Server to install packages, edit the configuration file /etc/opkg/opkg.conf
. The entries should be self explaining ;)
Package architecture for local installations
Keep in mind, for each Enigma2 Dreambox type and used Openembedded Version (OE 1.6 / OE 2.0), the corresponding packages for a manual installation are required. If not, the installation will be aborted with an error message - ....incompatible with the architectures configured
. When downloading packages from the board, read the thread and pay attention to the file extention as listet below.
Packages for all architectures
- *.all.ipk
OE 1.6
- *.mipsel.ipk packages
OE 2.0
- *.mips32el.ipk for all Box types, except the DM 800HD PVR.
- *.mips32el-nf.ipk only for DM 800HD PVR
Unpack IPK packages
Packages can be unpacked on a home computer. With Linux no extra tools are required, for Windows users the programm 7-Zip can be used. And for MAC users BetterZIP.
Write text file with list of installed packages
With following command it's possible to create a list of installed packages, and write the list in a text file. The example creates the list for the *extensions*. Of course the command can be adapted for *systemplugins* or GP3 Addons (*gemini*), etc..
The list with the name e2plugins
can be found in the directory /home/root
. This file can be used to show the installed packages, and reinstall the plugins after a new image was flashed. Of course you have to copy the list from the Dreambox on your computer (e.g. using FTP). Otherwise the file is deleted after flashing the Dreambox ;)
opkg list-installed *extensions* | awk '{ print $1 }' > /home/root/e2plugins
Install the content of the list is possible with following command. Make sure the text file is in the directory /home/root
. And of course the packages should be available on the feeds.
opkg update && opkg install $(cat /home/root/e2plugins)
An other method to install multiple packages is described in the chapter other interesting commands. But you need to know the names of the packages.
opkg update && opkg install $paketname $paketname $paketname $paketname
