jimbojetset Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 OK... When I goto the pineapple bar and click on List available Infusions (aka modules) I am then presented with a list of available infusions such as sslstrip etc... Regardless of the infusion I choose... when I click on install (internal or USB) the page just hangs with the message Please wait, the infusion is being downloaded and installed.Depending on network speed and infusion size, this could take a while. I've left it like this for hours but nothing ever installs. Things to note... When I first powered the device and update to 2.8.1 the Pineapple Bar worked perfectly but because I had no USB storage I was limited. The problem with the Pineapple bar only started after I configured a USB stick with a swap partition. I have an 8GB USB stick configured for swap file and data... this all shows up correctly on both the USB & Resources pages. I have reset & re-flashed to 2.8.1 several times but no joy. Tried using the Pineapple Bar without having the USB configured but no joy. I can putty(ssh) into the box and use opkg install --dest usb sslstrip and it does install, but nothing shows in the pineapple web interface. The USB ext4 partitions were created in debian linux. Does anyone have any ideas ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I recall an incident a while back similar to this that ended up being the users ISP filtering the wifipineapple.com domain, which is where the packages are downloaded from. Can you access that domain? Are you saying you were able to install modules before you updated to 2.8.1? Seb, might there be a manual install process?

jimbojetset Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 I was able to install modules fine with 2.8.1 it was only after setting up a USB stick (as per the manual) was I no longer able to install any modules to any location. No amount of un-configuring the USB, system resetting or firmware re-flashing will fix the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesugarat Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 jimbojetset, How are you powering your pineapple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesugarat Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Yeah that's most likely your problem.... http://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/29319-usb-power-cable-not-enough-for-usb-sandisk/?hl= usb power The pineapple can run from 5v 1a power but if you try to run it from that with a thumb drive with a heavy power requirement plugged in you get strange results... Try everything while the pineapple is plugged into the wall plug and see if it's stable. This is also related to the Sandisk Cruzser on Pineapple Juice issue that Darren just recently resolved...

jimbojetset Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Definitely NOT a power problem... I have found a way to install infusions manually via SSH. If I paste the following into a text editor and replace $name with the name of the infusion and $version with the version of the infusion then copy and paste from the text editor into the ssh console then the infusion installs to my USB perfectly... ************************************************************************************************************************************ mkdir -p /usb/tmp/infusions wget -O /usb/tmp/infusions/mk4-module-$name-$version.tar.gz "http://cloud.wifipineapple.com/index.php?downloads&downloadModule=$name&moduleVersion=$version" mkdir -p /usb/infusions/ rm /pineapple/infusions/usbModules ln -s /usb/infusions /pineapple/infusions/usbInfusions tar -xzf /usb/tmp/infusions/mk4-module-$name-$version.tar.gz -C /usb/tmp/infusions/ config=$(cat /usb/tmp/infusions/mk4-module-$name-$version/module.conf) confName=$(echo "$config" | grep -i name | awk '{split($0,array,"=")} END{print array[2]}') confVersion=$(echo "$config" | grep -i version | awk '{split($0,array,"=")} END{print array[2]}') confAuthor=$(echo "$config" | grep -i author | awk '{split($0,array,"=")} END{print array[2]}') confStartPage=$(echo "$config" | grep -i startPage | awk '{split($0,array,"=")} END{print array[2]}') confSupportLink=$(echo "$config" | grep -i supportLink | sed 's/supportLink=//g') mv /usb/tmp/infusions/mk4-module-$name-$version/$confName /usb/infusions/ rm -rf /usb/tmp/infusions echo "$confName|$confVersion|$dest|$confStartPage|$confSupportLink" >> /pineapple/infusions/moduleList opkg update && opkg install $name --dest usb ***************************************************************************************************************************************** The last line is only needed if a package is required for the infusion... It seems to work fine for me but not an ideal solution.... when I get time I will investigate further as to why the whole procedure is not reaching this point...

Whistle Master Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 You can also use my script phials to install from the command line infusions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabajools Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I have the exact same problem, same symptoms and results. Any news your end? Cheers, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabajools Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I found the problem my end, basically when you access the pineapple from via your network and the Wan/Lan port on the pineapple installing infusions fails with the symptoms discussed above. If you connect via the PoE Lan port however and the 72.16.42.1:1471/ interface then all works as it should.Not sure why we can't install and control the pineapples full feature set from a dhcp assigned ip on the Wan/Lan port.Cheers,Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whistle Master Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Not sure why we can't install and control the pineapples full feature set from a dhcp assigned ip on the Wan/Lan port. It is possible. I only use the pineapple in this setup when I'm doing development and testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabajools Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 played a little more, seems that if I use IE to access the pinapple from the Wan/Lan port everything works fine, Firefox however refuses to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
