MARK IV Rebooting on its own every hour.

[haroo]

ok just wondering if guys are having this issue. its rebooting every hour on the dot. im powering off of usb on my laptop and running 2.7.7

HAROO

[Foxtrot]

I'm wondering if every hour or so the USB current drops then comes back up... Have you tried with the wall adaptor?

[Mr-Protocol]

How many tools are you running?

[Zephyr]

Like Mr. Protocol said, note how many processes you have running. Are you running a usb hub with things connected to it? I would suggest you unplug everything from usb (if you have anything plugged in), then reboot the Pineapple and shut down all processes on the status page, including wireless and cron jobs. Let it sit there for an hour doing absolutely nothing and see if it still reboots on its own.

If not, then it may likely be a process on the Pineapple causing the problem and you can troubleshoot from there. If it does reboot, it is most likely a hardware/firmware problem. At that juncture I would reflash the Pineapple just to be sure and run the same test again. The fact that you say it reboots on the hour to the second leads me to believe it is a process causing the trouble as apposed to some intermittent hardware glitch.

Try it on mains power and see if the rebooting still occurs, at least this way we can rule out the power issues that were suggested.

[haroo]

sorry it took me so long to reply. i have been running on wall power. i have tried with usb all unplugged. though it defeats my purpose. i have my powered usb hub also plugged into wall power. on the hub i have my flash drive and my alfa radio.

any more suggestions would be awesome.

[inTheDMZ]

Right so that rules out mains power, please post the results of 'ps' 'free' and 'df -h'

Spoiler tags...

[haroo]

/dev/root is completely full and i dont know why that is. is there a way i can clean it up?

[inTheDMZ]

You have reaver running, I would say kill that and test it for 1+ hours and see how it goes.

[inTheDMZ]

Command for this would be:

'kill 2625'

(Without the ')

[haroo]

when i just run sslstrip and no reaver it does the same thing but lasts longer than when i have reaver running

[inTheDMZ]

It runs for longer with reaver running? Try posting a 'dmesg' in full too.

[Mr-Protocol]

Use the spoiler tags...

[haroo]

runs longer without reaver.

I gotta say, I'm pretty stumped! Clean flash is all I can recommend, maybe even just a sysupgrade to the same firmware?

[haroo]

[haroo]

i have reverted to 2.5.0 and so far i have not got a reboot and im up for 30 min now. will post results. if its works good ill go back to 2.7.7 and see if i get reboots

[inTheDMZ]
