Munged Install? No /opt

It's been a while since I used by box, but hoping to use it for some educator demos soon. Got a new MR3020, flashed firmware, telnetted in.

But am not seeing the /opt directory so I've got no piratebox. My directory:

I thought I'd ace it this time. Sigh... Help?

Hi,
mh. Did you use our custom image?
Can you please post the output of the following commands?

cat /etc/pbx_custom_image
cat /etc/openwrt_release
dmesg | tail -n 20 
dmesg | grep sda
ls /dev/sd*

Best regards Matthias

Thanks for rescuing me again, Matthias. My last install 2 years ago was flawless.

Perhaps I did not give the setup process not long enough. The connection to the Wrt Web Admin page did drop and I waited until all lights were solid.

Here is output as requested:

Hi,
it seems that the USB stick recognized correctly and the extroot is intialized:

So I guess, that your install folder is not like it should be. Please paste the output of the following commands:

ls /mnt/
ls /mnt/usb/install

If you can find an "auto_package_done" file, please rename it via

mv /mnt/usb/install/auto_package_done /mnt/usb/install/auto_package

and reboot. That should kick in the installation again.

best regards Matthias

Thanks Matthias.

The first try changed nothing. Then I re-downloaded the install package and replaced the directory on the USB drive. Reset the auto_package file name. The reboot worked, I could tell because it took longer and the lights blinked as it installed. I have a new working PirateBox and can start by customizations.

Thanks again. Where is your tip jar? Your long term work on this project is amazing.

Alan

Glad it is working now.
BTW: Mod-Theming guide.

I only have Bitcoin as tip jar left, because Paypal kicked me for years (because of piratebox)
see About-Matthias.

Flattr is not working, I guess.

Thank you,
best regards
Matthias
