b0N3z Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 when installing packages to the sd via shell ive noticed that they arent working. It might be a symlink or exporting the path. with my limited knowledge on this im not quite sure how to move forward without just installing to internal storage. So here is what I have done $ opkg update $ opkg install git -d sd after the install git i get this error trying to clone a repo -ash: git: not found EDIT: The above has been solved with ln -s /sd/usr/bin/git /usr/bin/git But now the issue ive run into is installing besside-ng from @Zylla repo and trying to symlink from the sd card. I did the following root@Pineapple:/sd/usr/sbin# ln -s besside-ng /usr/sbin/besside-ng and that did not throw any errors until I tried to run besside-ng from shell and got this root@Pineapple:~# besside-ng wlan1mon -ash: besside-ng: Too many levels of symbolic links Im very new with symlinking and trying to learn because of this sd card and not wanting to take up all the internal storage. I guess now I need to figure out how to remove symlink because I have to many lol what a morning. BEER TIME WOOT EDIT: Last edit, This whole situation has been fixed with a simple $ rm <symlink/path> and then retried the symlink with success. This time I did it from the root directory and added the full path. ln -s /sd/usr/sbin/besside-ng /usr/sbin/besside-ng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Always use absolute paths with symlinks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zylla Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Check if /sd/usr/bin and /sd/usr/bin is defined in your PATH variable (defined in /etc/profile/) I found it was missing on my Nano, causing issues with reaver and other stuff which gets installed there. ?
