AWR Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hi all, Yes, I'm a newbie, don't pick on me too much. I have a Wifi Pineapple Nano: Quote Current version: 1.1.3 I've followed Darren's instructions for setting up USB storage for swap and modules. Quote My fstab looks like this: Quote config global automount option from_fstab 1 option anon_mount 1 config global autoswap option from_fstab 1 option anon_swap 1 config mount option target /usb option device /dev/sdb1 option fstype ext4 option options rw,sync option enabled 1 option enabled_fsck 0 config swap option device /dev/sdb2 option enabled 1 My resources look like this: Quote Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on rootfs 2.2M 328.0K 1.9M 15% / /dev/root 12.5M 12.5M 0 100% /rom tmpfs 29.9M 128.0K 29.8M 0% /tmp /dev/mtdblock3 2.2M 328.0K 1.9M 15% /overlay overlayfs:/overlay 2.2M 328.0K 1.9M 15% / tmpfs 512.0K 0 512.0K 0% /dev /dev/sdb1 2.7G 14.9M 2.5G 1% /usb Quote total used free shared buffers Mem: 61204 59112 2092 160 8468 -/+ buffers: 50644 10560 Swap: 974844 0 974844 Here is my package config: Quote root@Pineapple:~# cat /etc/opkg.conf dest root / dest ram /tmp lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists option overlay_root /overlay dest usb /usb However, when I select modules to install from available modules, the only option is to "Install to internal storage". If I try to install modules via the command line using opkg I experience different issues: 1. Modules install but don't appear under Modules in the web interface Quote root@Pineapple:~# opkg install nmap --dest usb Package nmap (6.47-2) installed in usb is up to date. 2. Module fails to install e.g. urlsnarf: Quote root@Pineapple:~# opkg install urlsnarf --dest usb Unknown package 'urlsnarf'. Collected errors: * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package urlsnarf. 3. Module cannot install with a space in the name, e.g. "Evil Portal": Quote root@Pineapple:~# opkg install "Evil Portal" --dest usb Unknown package 'Evil'. Unknown package 'Portal'. Collected errors: * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package Evil. * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package Portal. The issues seems to relate more the installation of modules than USB storage. Can anyone provide any assistance with these issues? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0N3z Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 that tutorial is for the Mark IV. To install modules to the nano just make sure you have ICS and go to the modules tab and when you select one to install it will ask you at the top of the page if you want to install to sdcard or internal. make sure you format your sd card before you start which is under the advanced tab. click the down arrow and it will show "format sdcard" .

AWR Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 I have ICS working fine. Does the Nano not work with USB storage? I've tried an SD card but similar issue (not appearing as an option to save modules to), hence my efforts with USB storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0N3z Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 mine works fine with the sdcard. make sure you format it from the pineapple under the advanced tab. next to USB at the top rightish it will say usb with a click down arrow. That arrow when clicked will say format sd card. Do so and then try again. if that doesnt work and you have modified the fstab then do a factory reset and try that again. It should work just fine. Ive never had a single problem formatting and installing to the sdcard as the internal storage is to small for all the modules and some modules are to big for the internal storage.

AWR Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Yep, I get all that. I'll get a new SD card and try it. I had tried the one from my rubber ducky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
