Having a hard getting the pirate box running

Please remove, i just found my issue

I'm have a Pi2B using the solution mentioned here: [forum.piratebox.cc]

Everything seems to be worked except that I can't SSH into the box, I suspect this might be caused by the "ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "etc/network/interfaces" failed" error.

Any advice?

Where is the best place to send a RPi2 image, should I upload it as a torrent file and just place the link here?

I just did a fresh install on RPi2 and all seems to work fine.
I will document the steps and upload this week.

Alfa AWUS036AC - issues

$

Hi everyone!

I am a complete noob to this forum so bear with me here.

I bought the Alfa Wireless AWUS036AC, in the hope of good Linux compatability but it has been anything but compatible. I was hoping for some advice on how to fix it.
Firstly, straight out of the box, it doesn't work. Understandable as this supports 5Ghz and my previous adapter didn't as well as (maybe) a different type of chipset. BTW this Alfa adapter has a RTL8812AU chip set but I have read somewhere that the RTL8821AU and my chipset are interchangeable but perhaps not from a reliable source.
Secondly, it wasn't being recognised as a wlan0 device and doing iwconfig brought back only eth0 and lo, which would lead me to believe that it is a driver issue.
Thirdly, drivers. Alfa are not very good at instructions and following them got me nowhere (unless I read them wrong, (entirely likely))

Any advice or info is highly appreciated!

Thanks!!

No problem, I'm also creating a complete install document, so will run through this one more time today, check that everything is working ok and upload.

@RPi1 vs RPi2
No, I think it is only a different handling or maybe the raspbian image is now different then it was when I wrote the howto

Ok, im trying to get the image file created as a smaller file as its currently built on a 16G drive. Until then here are the installation instructions to roll your own.

This assumes that you have a supported WIFI card that supports AP Mode and a connection from your RPi2 to the internet.


Initial Raspberry Pi Setup

1) Enter the command sudo rasps-config to configure the system.

Language: HTML
pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo raspi-config


2) Choose the following options
Language: HTML
1) Expand Filesystem 2) (optional) At this point you may also want to choose option 2 Change User Password, 3) Internationalization Options, choose your settings as UTF-8 8) Advance Options, A4 SSH (Enable)

Finish and allow the system to reboot,

Get Imageboard

Language: HTML
sudo /opt/piratebox/bin/install_piratebox.sh /opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf imageboard

Edit the config.pl file with vi, and edit the ADMIN_PASS and SECRET. Remove the # from the start of the line

sudo vi /opt/piratebox/www/board/config.pl


# System config
# use constant ADMIN_PASS => ‘CHANGEME’; # Admin password. For fucks's sake, change this.

sudo /opt/piratebox/bin/timesave.sh /opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf install

Install Minidlna
Language: HTML
sudo apt-get install minidlna sudo cp /etc/minidlna.conf /etc/minidlna.conf.bkp sudo cp /opt/piratebox/src/linux.example.minidlna.conf /etc/minidlna.conf sudo update-rc.d minidlna defaults sudo service minidlna start

Edit Network Configuration
Language: HTML
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

(delete the contents of the file and paste in the following)

Language: HTML
auto lo   iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet dhcp   iface wlan0 inet manual ### disalbed for PirateBox #allow-hotplug wlan0 #wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf #iface default inet dhcp

Finally when you logon to the PirateBox, click on Forum and then click on Kareha.pl to activate.

Hi Pace, thank you for your work!

We've just updated the PirateBox on RPi DIY page with your instructions.

Is that an extra space between "mv" and "/opt/"?

I have recently created an image for the raspberry Pi2, you will need a minimum of a 4Gig card.
Please test and provide feedback.

I had to resize the partition down from 16gig, but it seems to be running ok... make sure you expand the filesystem once you image your card... See the README file in the torrent.

Magnet link (open your torrent client and select add torrent from url)
Language: HTML
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:CC58CF489C209DF6DCC8D5B8F4CD3CCAE8DA9E90&dn=RPi2PirateBox.zip&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.istole.it%3a80%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3a80%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.publicbt.com%3a80%2fannounce

I won't be able to do the test until next week. Once it is done, I'll give you some feedback!

It is uploading, it may be a little slow... Im staying in a hotel in China, so when I leave the room the connection turns off... it will be connected all through the night though....

Ok, it is hard to seed the first wave... ;)
I won't shutdown my machine this weekend.

I added it to my local client as well. It would be great if you both can agree on one kind of distribution - raspbian or archlinux (while the archlinux image is usually much smaller)

I think the Arch Linux Distro will be the way to go, I just thought it would be good to get something out there for people to try now on their raspberry Pi's, understand the configs and play around with it.

We will work together and to make a clean and easily accessible image under Arch.
