[leaf-user] 7.5.0-RC1

[Jim M. <jv...@ho...>]

Hi everyone,

Decided to update my leaf box to newer hardware.  Was running 7.0.0-rc1 
which is now a bit dated.  Everything was running quite well.

New hardware is a M720Q tiny pc.  Trying to get my power footprint lower 
for UPS battery backup.

Anyway I went with the 7.5.0-RC1 and encountered a few problems.

The usb keyboard no longer works on the system console.  Tried few thing 
but couldn't get it to work.  Happens on other hardware as well.

The backup module seems to require new dependencies which I tried 
adding.  Finally it starts a backup to another machine but is exceeding slow

and the Save feature of the lrp menu quits working after a backup is 
started.  This is reproduce-able.

from leaf.cfg

# List of packages to load

The modules I added to leaf.cfg are bolded

firewall# ps w|grep backup

. /etc/backup.conf

if [ -z "$STORAGE_MEDIA" ]; then
     exit 1;
fi

files=`ls $STORAGE_MEDIA`
fl=""
for i in $files; do
     fl=$fl+$i
done;
in.tftpd -l -s $STORAGE_MEDIA
wget --post-data="$fl" $MIRROR/backup.cgi -O /tmp/bk.res
if [ "`cat /tmp/bk.res`" -ne 0 ]; then
     echo `date`": Backup failed" >>/var/log/backup.log
else
     echo `date`": Backup successful" >>/var/log/backup.log
fi
kill `ps |grep "$STORAGE_MEDIA"|awk '{print $1}'`
rm /tmp/bk.res


Any help or I can help troubleshooting, please advice.
