Bucky67GTO Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The pineapple consistently reboots itself. I am using 3.0.0 although had the same problem with 2.8. I am fairly confident it is running out of internal memory. In my test environment there is only one connection to it and I have plenty of swap space, but my internal memory is very low. Each time I reset the pinapple, the first run of sslstrip will cause a reboot Any Pineapple bar updates drop the memory dramatically and reboot Running Karma and any other infusion - will in time cause a reboot Is there a memory leak, or is there anything that can be done to reduce the load on that memory?

Bucky67GTO Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 I had the same issue with 2.8.1 though. got to be something using the memory other than OS........time to hit the log files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fira Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) when you made the swap file, after editing the USB fstab did you Issue "mkswap /dev/sda2" and then reboot? edit check your swap partition is actually sda2... not sure if I read somewhere that some USB sticks have different partition names other than default... Check it isn't sdb2 or something... Edited October 27, 2013 by Fira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky67GTO Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the tip. swap is correct: root@Pineapple:~# cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sda2 partition 2097148 1832 -1 Took a look, and it seems as though there is plenty of swap available, but it is not using much of it, but is pounding the ram. Current Memory Usage: total used free shared buffersMem: 29340 27900 1440 0 1732-/+ buffers: 26168 3172Swap: 2097148 1792 2095356 Edited October 31, 2013 by Bucky67GTO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaventh Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Thank you for bringing this up. I am having the same issue on 2.8.1, never upgraded to 3.0. Running Karma and sslstrip only... anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours, it will inevitably reboot. I happen to catch some log messages about lack of free memory available before one of the reboots. Reset back to stock, but same issue... Will be looking in to this further, but it's slow work...

Make sure you set up swap, that'll help already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky67GTO Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Well, the swap doesn't really seem help much. I wonder if i am using correctly. I set up per the post from Darren, I am assuming that is correct. Current Memory Usage: total used free shared buffersMem: 29340 27900 1440 0 1732-/+ buffers: 26168 3172Swap: 2097148 1792 2095356 With 2 Gig of swap it is only using 1.8 Mb. Not alleviating much of the load I am afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
