New Release with "Mesh"-feature - Tester needed

How can i do via telnet?

Try this Post
or this one

Both doesn't work, with the first it can't mount the usb stick and for the second one, I can't connect to my MR-3020, I've tryed 192.168.1.2 via telnet and SSH, and 192.168.0.34 telnet SSH (this is the IP I set up)

First of all please write a few more information about, when something don't work.

Lets do it step by step again:

1. Boot your Mr3020 in failsafe mode with pushing the button during boot.
2. Setup your computer to a static IP 192.168.1.2 (as you mentioned)
3. if you haven't already done: place the openwrt-image-file on the usb-stick
4. connect your computre & usb stick to the mr3020
5. connect with telnet
6. run boot-commands (this is something , what I'm forgot everytime)

  /etc/init.d/boot start
 (some error-messages are ok)

7. run

  dmesg | tail -n 20

No you should see something with "sda" in the messages
8. mount usb & flash

   mount /dev/sda1 /mnt 
   cd /mnt
   mtd write openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3020-v1-squashfs-factory.bin firmware
   reboot -f

then you should have a clean fresh install

You rock!! Awesome now I try to install mesh again. Thanks a lot!!

I've tried again and here are the problem:
root@OpenWrt:~# cd /tmp
root@OpenWrt:/tmp# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
root@OpenWrt:/tmp# cp /mnt/piratebox_*ipk /tmp
root@OpenWrt:/tmp# umount /mnt
root@OpenWrt:/tmp# opkg update && opkg install piratebox*
Downloading [downloads.openwrt.org].
^C
It try to download the packages...

why do you cancel the Downloading [downloads.openwrt.org]. ? It needs it.
and it seems that you are using and old image, because you are not downloading from stable.openwrt.piratebox.de

Ok i've done it again and with stable.openwrt... and it seems doesn't work, after reboot, i can connect to pirateboxut if i open the browser i can't access to the 'normal' piratebox page

I don't understand what the problem is.
Did you have any messages while installing the piratebox- if yes: WHICH???

it seems that you missunderstood something... I don't know what :/

I just found out, there was a wrong file uploaded to mesh_test folder

a big sorry for that
download piratebox_ws_0.6_img.tar.gz and place it to your usb stick.

After this, please start again with the procedure.

edit: I updated Notepad for mesh too! There you can find the list of files you need.

Have I to do a rm overlay before reinstall?

No, I don't think so.

Ok it seems that everything things work, just the "upload file" part that doesn't really work, as you can see.

Please login via SSH or Telnet and run

/etc/init.d/forban stop
/etc/init.d/piratebox stop
/etc/init.d/piratebox start

And copy&paste the output into this thread, please

Here it is :

The problem is this error-message: "ValueError: bad marshal data (unknown type code) "

You can run:

find /usr/local/* -iname \*.pyo -exec rm {} \;
find /usr/local/* -iname \*.pyc -exec rm {} \;


But this only may solve your problem. For me, I had to do a complete fresh install

It works! Now i I will do a second one to test the mesh

Thank You!!!

Ehm.
What do you want to reach with this partly-installed Mesh? The mesh feature is still experimental.

Matthias

Test and possibly use mesh. with virtualbox openwrt, usb wifi card alpha 1w, 2w

if I'm not mistaken you must install piratebox 0.6.0
because it does not work with 0.5.1 piratebox

ok, don't take me wrong.. because I want to avoid, that people think it is everything ok and are disappointed later on.

With 0.6.0 you get alot more functions (i.e. a JavaScript shoutbox & Timesave feature).
You can install piratebox 0.5.1 without any trouble.

If you want to test the real "key" feature: Install forban!!

yes I already use 0.5.1 piratebox
I installed 0.5.1 with mesh on piratebox.
But piratebox mesh does not launch it, was not visible "PBmesh."

I therefore want more tests later on piratebox0.6-because I think that it was not compatible with 0.5

mh, I'm wondering a bit about that.. but that's ok

Thats right the mesh feature is bring by the 0.6 version, without it, no mesh...

Hi, where is : timesave.sh

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

Setup complete, PirateBox started.
You can remove the WAN connection now.
Please reboot your PirateBox now:
# reboot
root@OpenWRT:/tmp# cd /mnt/usb
root@OpenWRT:/mnt/usb# /opt/piratebox/bin/timesave.sh /opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf install
-ash: /opt/piratebox/bin/timesave.sh: not found

root@OpenWRT:/mnt/usb# ls /opt/piratebox/bin/
delete_empty.sh hooks station_cnt.sh
droopy install_piratebox.sh
generate_config_files.sh piratebox_setup_wlan.sh

root@OpenWRT:/mnt/usb# ls /opt/piratebox/conf/
dnsmasq_default.conf hosts lighttpd
dnsmasq_generated.conf hosts_generated piratebox.conf
hook_custom.conf init_done
hostapd.conf ipv6.conf

not timesave.sh. what is it timesave.sh?


Thank you!

Hi,
you used piratebox 0.5.1 .
In my small howto I requested that you should use the new version 0.6 uploaded at the same location like the mesh & forban packages .

Notepad for mesh
forban_img.tar.gz
piratebox_0.6.0_all.ipk
piratebox_ws_0.6_img.tar.gz

piratebox-mesh_0.2.6_all.ipk
