Re: Unable to Switch Back to 'rpi-ro'

Well, this is still an issue. I appreciate everyone's comments as to what they did that resolved the issue for them, but I continue to see very inconsistent behavior. I can't tell you how many times I speak with others running Pi-Star where they didn't realize how important it was to shut down their...

Re: Advice for connecting through Captive Portals

Hi Steve, Glad to see I'm not the only one that remembers using lynx! 8-) I ended up adding a travel router to my arsenal while traveling with my hotspot. I use a GLinet AR-750 running official OpenWrt (not the OpenWrt version that comes on the router out of the box). I have the router set up with a...

Re: Custom Firewall Rules Lost on Reboot

I hope Andy Taylor can weigh in here. Hopefully, this isn't a matter of needing any major changes. It's odd that there's an article on the Pi-Star Wiki that infers the ipv4.fw file should be present on the filesystem when in fact it's not present. It seems as though, based on the following section, ...

Custom Firewall Rules Lost on Reboot

I tried following the instructions as outlined here: http://wiki.pistar.uk/Adding_custom_firewall_rules_to_Pi-Star The following is the rule that I need to add: iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 62036 -j ACCEPT I looked under /root and the file 'ipv4.fw' does not exist. I looked at the 'pistar-firew...

Re: Unable to Switch Back to 'rpi-ro'

Thanks so much for your contribution! I’m glad to see more activity on this thread since the last time I raised the issue. I hope others can add to this so we can get a good idea of how widespread the issue is. I would have to think that there is a large population that is experiencing it, my fear i...

Re: Unable to Switch Back to 'rpi-ro'

Out of curiosity have you rebooted since disabling AutoAP?

Re: Unable to Switch Back to 'rpi-ro'

Hello, I’ve noticed that there’s a regression of this issue in Pi-Star 4.1 RC3 to RC5. I know there was a proposed workaround initially that didn’t work, then it seemed like the issue was fixed in the 3.x days with a patch to AutoAP but it’s back. Big time! I need to try disabling AutoAP to see if t...

Re: Unable to Switch Back to 'rpi-ro'

I also disabled Auto AP mode on my 3B running 4.0 RC3 and it is still stuck in read/write mode. I installed ‘lsof’ to show which files were held open preventing the mount going back to read-only and the list was pretty long! I am going to reimage the card and see if I get different results. If not, ...
