Re: Fix for droopy and minidlna

Hi,

this version contains a paramerter for chmod, no hardcoded permission required.
github droopy master

I don't know why we have our own version.

Maybe we could adapt to a more current version? :D

Regards,
BlueSpider

Hi,
yes, I wanted to do the backport earlier this day and then recognized that.
We should adapt the new version. The only feature, which should be discussed, is the "password protected upload" feature... that is piratebox only. Do we need that?

And a special fix for the environment variable (see on the droopy repository the pull request by terrorbyte).

regards

Noob trying to SSH (Help needed)

Anyone mind helping a n00b?

I just set up my RPi (with the piratebox image, wifi, and external HD attached)...

I'm trying to SSH into it for the first time using the instructions on the website, but my terminal keeps telling me "ssh: Could not resolve hostname alarmpi: nodename nor servname provided, or not known" when I try to use the 'ssh root@alarmpi ' ... Any obvious reasons why this isn't working?

Am I supposed to have gotten/created an IP somewhere? (The instructions on the website don't mention anything about it.)

Could the external hard drive I've got connected kept it from even getting to the point of accessing the RPi?

All help appreciated.

A newbies experience trying to setup Pirate Box on RPi 2

The following is simply one newbies experience. It's not meant as a criticism; more as an insight for those who do this kind of stuff so much they forget what it's like for the inexperienced user.

Following along with the instructions on the website have not got me even a working SD card to boot my RPi 2 with....

I've tried 4+ times, using 2 different SD cards (one fresh out of the box to make sure the other one wasn't just corrupt), and tried setting up the IMG on both windows and mac.

I've tried using Pi Filler, Pi Writer 2, and Win 32 Disk Imager to install the Arch Linux distro that the site links me too. None of them worked for me.

One of the things that us newbies find a little problematic is when we're told a file is going to be named something, but it's not. For example on the Piratebox site it says the IMG file should be called "ArchLinuxARM-2014.10-PirateBox*.zip" ... except it's not. The "image" is called "raw_arch_image_file".

I assumed that was the correct file since it was the only one there, but it wasn't what this noob was expecting.

The reason I put "image" above in quotes is because my Win 32 DiskImager and 2 of the 3 Mac apps I ran (all of which were suggested scripts linked to from PirateBox) didn't recognize the file as an image.... According to these programs this file had no extension at all.

As a novice, it took me a while to realize this problem and add .img to the end of the file... but even when I did that and Win 32 DiskImager did write it as an IMG to my SD card... It still didn't work.

Correction, still doesn't work.

Right now, I'm currently putting Raspian from NOOBS on my RPi 2 just to make sure the problem is something with the Piratebox IMG and not my SD card.

The Raspian install is going smoothly.

I still love the Pirate Box project and am trying to use Wheezy to get it to work.

I hope my experience is helpful to the Piratebox team and gives you insight into some of the problems and frustrations of a novice user.

Hi fostejam,

it seems your start wasn't a great experience at all.
The piratebox for raspberry pi was developed long before we all know about RPi 2 and there was no reason to place a note beside the download instruction, it would only work with older Raspberry Pi.
The ARCHLinux Version we use is made for ARM v6 CPU only and will not work with the new ARMv7 CPU which is used in the new RPi 2.

We want to create an image for the RPi 2, too. But this takes some time and we everything regarding piratebox in our spare time.

As I understand, you would like to have a detailed step by step tutorial for setting up a piratebox which is less confusing for newbies.
I put this on my todo list.

Thank you for you feedback.

Thanks for taking the time to read that BlueSpider.

As I keep working on getting this working on my RPi 2, I'll try to document what I do as much as possible to hopefully make it of use to you (and others) in the future.

I love this project and look forward to making it work.

Hopefully you will consider a note next to the Arch Linux install about it not being compatible with RPi 2 since it's likely most people are buying the 2 instead of the 1 now a days.

Hi fostejam,

This message is returned because your pc doesn't know what alarmpi is (i mean what is the ip of alarmpi).
Your command should be something like that: ssh root@WWW.XXX.YYY.ZZZ
where WWW.XXX.YYY.ZZZ is the ip address of your rpi.

For instance, if you want to start a new ssh session from your pc using wifi, you have to:
    [*] connect to the rpi wifi
    [*] ssh root@192.168.77.1

Any thoughts? Tried twice

Edit: just realized that this is now an arch image, wasn't the old one debian? Ir not then maybe I did it from source on raspian last time.

Pace,
I torrented your disk image but i am rather new to this and i have had some problems. first off, can this be used on the raspberry pi 2?
if so, could you give a bit more instruction on setting it up (not like flashing the chip but the otherstuff). finally, is the manual method compatible with the PI 2?

If you use the RPi2 image instead of the RPi1 once, you can adapt the manual setup to the RPi2 as well... and for any other board ;)

Nope, all RPi images since PirateBox 1.0 are ArchLinux based.

The versions before 1.0 (over a year now) are raspbian based.
I moved to arch, because raspbian delivers so biiig image files (containin alot tools), that it would be wasted traffic and disk space.


best regards
Matthias

wait so is the RPI2 image the one pace put up? and so do we just flash that and then run it or do we use the manual set up steps with the disk image? Sorry im just bit confused when it comes to the manual instructions. Are they for use with a fresh raspbian wheezy install or for the image?

Re: Pi(rate) box on Pi2B

the manual steps are for a fresh rasbian wheezy

Okay, well i just went through all of them exactly as pace said above then i did a reboot. The pi is connected to power, a WiFi adapter and Ethernet (i have been using putty to control it). now that it is rebooted is it working? do i disconnect the Ethernet? does the piratebox still need a start command or is it started with powerup?

Sorry for all the Questions. Im just super eager to see this work. i think what the pirate box community really needs is a tutorial from start to finish. maybe even a video. i understand you are busy but i really appreciate your input and help :)-D
