TGYK Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Hey TGYK, thank you for your efforts in developing this script! I am running Yosemite and the script seems to have some problems here. When executing the script as root, I receive this log: Killing ICS 225:412: execution error: System Events got an error: Can’t get window "Sharing" of process "System Preferences". (-1728) Backed up old NAT file Backed up old bootpd file Restored from previous completed configs 234:421: execution error: System Events got an error: Can’t get window "Sharing" of process "System Preferences". (-1728) ICS started IP on bridge100 set to 172.16.42.42 Set DNS to Google public DNS kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec] Reloaded bootpd file for DHCP Obviously, the script does not work for me. Are there any specific settings one would have to make on the pineapple itself apart from the script? Best, jogi Edit: derp I'll have to figure out if the sharing prefpane window is named differently. The kill command error should be fixed for the next version. If you want to work with me and do some testing for me that'd be awesome, send me a PM if you're interested.

Red5 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Found a lot of great info in this thread and was able to get ICS running in Yosemite just by modifying a couple lines in a script mentioned above. Just took some poking around and a little bit of guess work to find the answer. sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.NetworkSharing.plist sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.nat NAT -dict-add SharingNetworkNumberStart 172.16.42.0 sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.NetworkSharing.plist sudo ifconfig bridge100 172.16.42.42 netmask 255.255.255.0 up cat /etc/bootpd.plist | sed "s/172.16.42.1/172.16.42.42/"|sed "s/172.16.42.2/172.16.42.43/" > /tmp/temp.bootpd.plist sudo mv /tmp/temp.bootpd.plist /etc/bootpd.plist sudo kill -HUP 'pgrep bootpd' com.apple.InternetSharing.plist was changed to com.apple.NetworkSharing.plist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogischika Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hey Red5, thank you for posting your fix! Unfortunately, the last line returns an "illegal process id" error and ICS still does not work afterwards. Could you post the contents of your networksharing and apple.nat files? Can you explain what this line (especially the "sed") does? cat /etc/bootpd.plist | sed "s/172.16.42.1/172.16.42.42/"|sed "s/172.16.42.2/172.16.42.43/" > /tmp/temp.bootpd.plist Thanks a lot!

Red5 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I found this script in this thread. that error comes from the original, i only changed some file links. The sed commands parses through data streams. in this case the cat would generate a stream and pipe output into the input of the first sed looking for the default values and changing them the the values needed for Mark V ICS again piping into another sed command to modify the secondary and tunneling that output to overwrite (or create new if non existant) our temp.bootpd.plist com.apple.NetworkSharing.plist is unmodified only need to be turned off before changing settings and turned back on again to put them into effect in the script it seems in the original post the .plist was left out of the command. and i had modified mine by hand before using the script, while still figuring things out. try this: sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.NetworkSharing.plist sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.nat.plist NAT -dict-add SharingNetworkNumberStart 172.16.42.0 sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.NetworkSharing.plist sudo ifconfig bridge100 172.16.42.42 netmask 255.255.255.0 up cat /etc/bootpd.plist | sed "s/172.16.42.1/172.16.42.42/"|sed "s/172.16.42.2/172.16.42.43/" > /tmp/temp.bootpd.plist sudo mv /tmp/temp.bootpd.plist /etc/bootpd.plist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGYK Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Alright, I've figured out the issues with support on 10.10 Yosemite. The biggest issue is the change to accessibility. You need to enable scripts to be able to 'control your computer' or in other words, allow the applescript portions of my script to run properly. To do this, go to System Preferences, click "Security and Privacy". Click the lock and authenticate changes. Select the "Accessibility" tab Click the "+" sign below the table Browse to Applications > Utilities > Terminal and click "Open" in the bottom, right hand corner. Now run the script using the terminal: sudo chmod +x ~/Downloads/scriptname sudo ~/Downloads/scriptname ***IMPORTANT*** Use version 1.4.4 for Yosemite, as it has a couple of fixes to ensure it works. If you ran the script before adding terminal to the accessebility settings, you need to remove the /wpplist folder. sudo rm -rf /wpplist Thanks for the support, please report any errors or bugs, and I'll work with you to resolve them. If you think you have a better way of doing something in the script, speak up! I'd love to hear your ideas and work with you to implement them. Thanks! -TGYK edit: (THE KILL COMMAND IS NOT WORKING, WORKING ON A FIX NOW) edit: It appears I'm not getting bootpd started, it might detect the dhcp server already on the network and be trying to use that. edit: appears that the InternetSharing process has changed as well, so the "Killing ICS" section of the script does not work.. I have some work to do. Taking 1.4.4 offline for the time being Edited January 15, 2015 by TGYK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGYK Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Pushed beta for yosemite 10.10.1 support. Version 1.5 is live. Please follow the instructions in my previous post, and if you experience issues, please remove the /wpplist and /plistbackups folders, and the /etc/bootpd.plist and /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.nat.plist files, restart, then toggle sharing on and off manually in the sharing preferences, then attempt the script again. If you're still experiencing issues, please show any errors here. Thanks! -TGYK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGYK Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Keeping you guys in the loop, the few who might actually use this. I am adding functionality to allow for configurable options like DNS, Gateway, and more. Also slated for 1.6 is more robust, dynamic applescript. Debating if I should do something that collects info on the available devices to share from, and the devices to share to, and asking user on generating new configs in an applescript dialogue "Map from [select interface] to [select interface]" but am still on the fence about the implications it'd take to implement this. Could use some feedback! Also debating setting up a github for this project so it's not all hosted on my home web server, still need to get better versed in using it though.

Assuming that it is, this is really odd. I know what the "Set:" messages are about, they generally pop up if the plist is 10.9+ and default, though with Maverics, it may be that the plist is different entirely. It may be worth me getting a copy and loading it onto my computer. Just for further development purposes, can you run the script with the -v option so I can get the version string for your mac OS X? I need to use it to disable the kill commands for the bootpd process, as it seems to not run on 10.9+ Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheB Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hi, I'm trying to set up my Mac to share the wifi connection to the Mark V. To do this i followed the guide on the wiki The difficulty starts from step 5: 5. Manually change the IP address used by the Mac's LAN interface with the command: ifconfig bridge100 172.16.42.42 netmask 255.255.255.0 up. Here i get the message that bridge100 is not existing: "ifconfig: interface bridge100 does not exist" 6. Now we need to change some DHCP options, because by default the DHCP server tells the clients to use gateway 172.16.42.1. We do this by altering file /etc/bootpd.plist. There are two mentions of 172.16.42.1 that we need to change into 172.16.42.42. We also need to adjust the pool range. Look for the <key>net_range</key> section. Alter the starting address to 172.16.42.43. In my booted.plist i can't find any mention of 172.16.42.1, this is what i can find in the file: <dict> <key>bootp_enabled</key> <false/> <key>detect_other_dhcp_server</key> <false/> <key>dhcp_enabled</key> <false/> <key>dhcp_ignore_client_identifier</key> <true/> <key>use_server_config_for_dhcp_options</key> <false/> </dict> 7. Find the PID of the bootpd process and give it a kill -HUP to reread its config file. have not gotten this far yet.. I can connect to the web GUI of the pineapple. I can even connect to the pineapple from an other device (phone) and acces the internet! But in the webGUI i can't look for upgrades and i can't acces the pineapple bar, there i get the message to check the internet connection. The pineapple has the firmware version 2.0.5 My Mac runs on OSX Yosemite, version 10.10.2 Any help would be much appreciated! many thanks, TheB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sedpaffy Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Delighted! Got my Mark V and tried doing all of this manually via the pineapple wiki and no luck- then came across this script and at least I'm seeing an Internet IP in my Network infusion panel! Thanks TGYK!

sedpaffy Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 So has anyone gotten this to work on Yosemite? I'm not having success. I've gotten it to work first time. Today I tried it again and wasn't able to get it working properly but running the script again with the -n flag seems to have it working for me again. I wouldn't imagine this should have to be run everytime I want to log in.... Or should it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lufthansa747 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Bellow are the various ways I have tried to connect my pineapple to the internet. The only method that has worked thus far is using wlan1 in "Client Mode", the problem with this solution is that I am unable to get PineAP running at the same time. 1) following tutorial -> Doesn't work2) following https://champagneandsecurity.wordpress.com/2014/10/03/wifi-pineapple-and-mac-os-x-internet-sharing/ -> at step 5, Error bridge100 doesn't exist 3) not sure how to complete http://802dot11.postach.io/post/using-mac-os-x-ics-to-work-with-wifi-pineapple I also tried setting the pineapples wired connection to "Client Mode" and plugging it directly into a router, which didn't work. Any Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
