VII Setup - Downloading latest firmware - fork/exec /usr/bin/splitweb: cannot allocate memory

[insertquirkyusername]

Hey there!

When I attempt upload the latest firmware which I downloaded from https://downloads.hak5.org/pineapple/mk7 vers. 2. 1. 3 (the latest stable) I get the error message fork/exec /usr/bin/splitweb: cannot allocate memory 

Same error when I tried earlier versions and the very first version.

alternatively, when I try and let the web UI "download the latest Firmware" it simply gives the generic error: exit status 1

 

Frustrating. 

 

Anybody overcome this particular problem?

I'd appreciate your help otherwise that's $100 down the drain, as they say.

Some users have also tried the following:

Download the latest upgrade file from the Hak5 downloads web site and verify its SHA256 checksum, then:

1) scp the upgrade to your pineapples "/tmp" directory
2) ssh into the pineapple
3) cd /tmp && splitweb /tmp/upgrade-1.0.1.bin (or whatever firmware filename that has been downloaded)
4) sysupgrade -n /tmp/upgrade.bin

 

No guarantee that it will help and you're doing things like the instruction above at your own risk.
