Reset Raspberry

Small matter of France:
If I cut my hot raspberry or the reset button version PirateBox not always restarts so I am forced to go back the backup of my sd to work again the raspberry you have a solution for not having such problems?
Thank you in advance :)-D

For what it's worth, I've run through the latest raspbian image "2014-01-07-wheezy-raspbian.img" with the commands from This Page save for the last section where you run through the raspi-config settings, and run the startup scripts at the bottom. I've added /home/pi/README.txt to include the last few steps for a reminder, as well as I've removed the wolfram-engine to stop the errors when installing other packages, clear up 420MB of disk space as well as it's just overhead that's not needed.

I'll also state that I have yet to try this image out as my cat recently decided that the blinking light on my wireless usb dongle was a play toy and either chewed something important or the slobber shorted the thing out, but for whatever reason it's now dead. (the adapter not the cat!)

I've made a torrent out of the image that you can download, and remember it's always kind to seed back what you take!

torrent file: http://italktomachines.com/stuff/raspberry-piratebox-5-31-2014.img.torrent

I have been a fan of the piratebox since it's introduction (you can see my old posts on the old forums for some screenshots!) and wanted to contribute what little I can. Hope this helps!

Did I got it correctly?
So you created a new image with PirateBox 1.0 on it?

repeat wifi signal with external router

dear all, matthias,

i'd like to repeat and strenghten the pi-rateboxes wifi signal through an external router in order to make it available for the neighborhood. i have found out about WDS wlan repeating, where both ends need to know the mac address of the other, and have managed to configure the external router accordingly; but now i'm kind of stuck. how should i configure the pi-ratebox and define the repeaters mac address there without damaging the piratebox functionality?

thanks! (thanks for the whole project as well)

uwe.

It should be available, I had some work transfers going so the bandwidth probably was very slow, but they're all done now. I did a dd of the latest raspbian to my sd card, didn't run through any of the configuration to keep everything vanilla, ran through the install instructions and did another dd of my sd card to a new image, and that's what I'm sharing, so I hope so!

Let me know if there are still problems getting the torrent or downloading from the torrent itself and I'll correct them!

Hi,
I'm still getting a timeout while connecting to the torrent-url:

$ wget [italktomachines.com]

Auflösen des Hostnamen »italktomachines.com«... 173.13.173.50

Erneuter Versuch.

:(

Hi Uwe,
it seems you need to add this line to /opt/piratebox/conf/hostapd.conf
wds_sta=1

I don't promise anything, because you aren't finding much about that in the internetz...
According to the configfile man page and some other sources, that should be the right flag.

Matthias

I didn't even think of it, but I did make a dns change, that probably hasn't propigated to you yet. Should be a 54.183.73.80 IP

daniel@gluttony:~$ nslookup

Non-authoritative answer:

I should have waited a day before sharing :/

uff... 2,xGB
You should have used gzip to save bandwith. I used a different base for the new image, which has a lot smaller footprint .. :/

Hi,

I downloaded the image and tried to install it, but I get the following error:

New Raspberry Pi(rate)Box - image is available

$

you can find the instructions here piratebox.cc/raspberry_pi

We have the preinstalled imageboard,
and the upnpmedia server installed, which can be activated afterwards.

The ethernet port is listening of dhcp requests, so if you connect your box once to your homenetwork, it has the possibility that you can login via ssh. Sidenote: on the first bootup, it takes a few Moments until the connection won't be refused anymore.

Be aware, that the new image is using Arch Linux and not Raspbian anymore. Raspbyian is now shipped with a bunch of stuff, we don't need. So some old howtos do not apply anymore. Ask, if you need some advice.

Hey there! It's been a while since I've been on here, it's nice to see that there's still some activity :D

I'd just like to point out that there's a mistake on this page: [piratebox.cc]

"Raspberry Pi(rate)Box 1.0 is now available for download via BitTorent!" contains the correct link.
"download a copy of the Raspberry Pi(rate)Box 1.0 image" (in the instructions) does not!

The correct link is: [downloads.piratebox.de] with an s on downloads :P

USB storage, How on current image (8/6/14)

Hello,

Trying to get usb storage working but I'm a little lost. Had a look over older entries but they look to have been for when the raspberry pi image was based on Raspbian and I'm not familiar with Arch (so don't want to break anything).

From looking at previous threads, here are the requested command outputs:

Also for luck here's my lsusb output:

The only connected devices are my Tenda W311U+ (which works OOTB but is painfully slow, 818mb in an hour) and the Sandisk Cruzier Fit, which I want to use for the storage.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I will report back to your soon.... please be a bit patient.

According to my idea, you need to add an entry in /etc/fstab
and move the folder /opt/piratebox/share
and then link /opt/piratebox/share --> new location.

In my opinion, it should work on the same way like on Raspian. maybe you can post the tutorial you found.

Hi guys,
I'm completely new to this and as a student I'm pretty strapped for cash. Could anyone point me to the best priced USB wifi that will give me the ap capability that's needed without any editing of any files?
Also is host pad already installed on the raspberry pi image that's this site supplies?
Thanks for your time :D

Ubiquiti NanoStation + Pi(rate) Box - has anyone tested this?

Basically I want to setup a secure community sharing service across a part of town. Has anyone tried to do something large scale like this with larger antenas such as Ubiquiti's NanoStation? If so, could you share any pointers or suggestions you might have. I love the idea being able to take my piratebox with me and share whereever I am, but I would much prefer to foster a more permanent community.

Thanks for any advice.

I tried with a belkin n150 (RT2870 chipset) and didn't have a lot of luck. Supposedly works out of the box with Raspian. I was able to get it to turn on by modifying the hostapd.conf but thats about the extent of it.

Is there a place to submit bug reports for the RasPi version?
