[Solved] Problem to Install PirateBox on TP-MR3020

Hello,

I am noob. However I tried to install PirateBox on TP-MR3020 but it doesent work.
I followed the instructions on [piratebox.cc].

My Problem is while Post-Installation.
When I try to activate the imageboard, it says

-ash: /opt/piratebox/bin/board-autoconf.sh: not found

It seems there is no /opt folder

What did I wrong?

I would like to flash the original TP-firmware, but I am afraid to brick my TP-MR3020 then. Or is it already ?


Please help me.

Hi,
I guess your USB stick is not properly configured.
PirateBox assumes, that your USB stick has 1 partition with vfat, some USB Sticks are directly formatted. On windows you don't see a difference.

On linux:

partitioned & formated: device name => /dev/sda1
formated only, no partition: devicename => /dev/sda

unfortunately, PirateBox can only react on /dev/sda1

To find that out, please post the output of the commands listed here: [piratebox.cc]

Don't try to reflash your device, that wouldn't help. Let's try to find out what the issue is.


best regards Matthias

Thank you for help.
Before i read your answere, I already reflashed.
I tried to install for a second time.

I let the wr3020 reboot for 1,5h, but the leds still blinking.
power=permanent
wifi=blinking
reset=blinking

However I continued with telenet via putty.
Set Password and Time.
Same Problem.

Hi,
the flashed image is ok. As I thought, it is about the USB Stick.

Login to the box and execute the following commands

sed -i 's;sda1;sda;' /etc/ext.config 
reboot & exit

After that, the box restarts and should start to run the install.
If you logon after the reboot, you can execute

tail -f -n 30 /var/log/messages

to view the progress of the installation.

regards Matthias

I tried again, but the LEDs still endless blinking
There are no wifi-connetction, only LAN with TR-WR3020?
Neither PirateBox Wlan nor LAN?
The USB LEDs doesnt blink?

Gern geschehen, viel Spaß

Hello,
thank you for posting the data, but it would be great if you can extend it with the other commands listed here: [piratebox.cc]


best regards
Matthias

the wifi light keeps blinking and that is the only light, well besides the power being solid.

Hey John,
nope, you are facing the same problem like halbschlaf had.
