rhiz,
See attached pic. Clearly the install was not successful. When creating the image file, it gave me an option for wifi or ethernet. I selected wifi. Then it asked me for SSID, and then it asked me to "make connections" to which I responded "Y" first, and IIRC nothing happen, and then when I entered "N" it asked me for a password. Maybe I screwed something up there?
In any case, would you recommend reformatting the card with the current moode install. Restart the image build via Raspbian but make sure I'm connected via ethernet?

Do it via Ethernet, it will be easier with this version of builder 😉
I suspect something wrong with ssid or password (special char or space in it ?) but the builder can’t download first component to begin install.
Next version contains a lot of improvements and has better wifi’s Support.
Sorry for theses troubles at this time ... future must be better
Ouch ! I'm so sad to read that... you can't say that !!! you have made a script who simplify extremely the installation process, it is used by many of us and work well in many case, but yes your first try is not bug free and it's not a problem when you correct it directly like you do for mosbuild. You can't apologise because it's not online now and you can't do anything about that. I'm so sorry to see that !
For the problem of Dkalsi and manniraj i think is because "say yes to all the options" (like suzywong say, but she's right !) activate the proxy and in this case the proxy is not well configured because they don't need proxy...
I recommend to use the moosimbu.sh script to do the installation (bug for localisation and special chars in wifi are corrected)
Round 3 - moosimbu
but before modify the moosimbu.sh script like i say in this post :
and follow the instruction of the first post to install moOde (say no to the proxy !!)
Good luck !
hello there, what is the procedure to update to the latest version? sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade?
If you are running a moOde 4 beta 6-11, see these instructions from Tim:
If you need to unsquash /var/www/ then you can use these commands (from @Fininchen):
Code:
cd ~
sudo umount /var/www
sudo unsquashfs -d /var/www /var/local/moode.sqsh
sudo /var/www/command/updater.sh r40b12
sudo rm /var/local/moode.sqsh
sudo mksquashfs /var/www /var/local/moode.sqsh
sudo rm -rf /var/www/*
sync
sudo rebootediting header
Hi Folks,
I have just discovered moode. I started years ago with Volumio, then used Rune and recently found moode.
I need a bit of assistance. I am not a php wizard. In actual fact, I don't get it at all. But, I do need to put a permanent link into either the header or the footer so that I can jump back to my home page. Basically, I am using moode on a kiosk machine and I don't have a back button. I need a way to jump back to my main launch page.
I found the header.php page in /var/local/www/ and I think that is where it would go. Just looking for a simple link to go to "http://x.x.x.x/switches.html".
Anybody able to direct me? I tried a bunch of stuff, but I just kept pooching the page.
Thanks,
eala

Much more likely is that you didn’t complete the build correctly.
The first Beta 4 version I made has been working flawlessly for a couple of months now. The latest (Beta12) that I built last week and have been thrashing, similarly.
Use Koda59s script, start from scratch, use a quality SD card.
You need to unsquash the www files before you can write to them, then it should be easy enough to add a http link without knowing php...
The alternative is to build a separate home page that calls the moode interface inside a table page - that would mean you don’t need to change anything in moode and it works independently.
"unsquash" the www files? How did vegetables get involved? Kidding. No idea what this means.
Second idea is interesting. The thing is, I would need that html page to present the moode interface full screen. I don't have any spare real estate on my main kiosk screens. Not sure how to do this, but I can play with it a bit.

Ditto the unsquashing. The easiest way is probably to add your link as an item in the main menu, look for <li> elements with appropriate names in header.php and the rest should be pretty obvious.
Current Build onto SD Card
Hi,
I'm out of my league here. I used very old 2015 image and trying to update now. Attached is screen capture of SD contents.
Would you please point me to steps on how to convert current
build into disc image. I am not sure how to to run it from SD card.
I cannot find my old notes. Only recall copying image onto SD card,
running Noobs and Putty to setup.
I hope it is not as bad as it looks 😕
Thanks

I tried googling unsquashing. Didn't get too far. Not sure what I am looking for to do this.
I was hoping to put a simple "Home" link on the top menu bar. The main menu would require two clicks and this is something we use a lot. Always visible is the preferred approach.
If somebody can point me the right way with this unsquashing, I can play around with the php files to make it look like I want.

@eala
Here's an example. The first line in the code block below is to be found in header.php (careful, there's a second Refresh line which looks similar). I added the second line just after it
Code:
<li class="context-menu menu-separator"><a href="javascript:location.reload(true); void 0"><i class="icon-repeat sx"></i> Refresh</a></li>
<li><a href="http://somewhere"><i class="icon-home sx"></i> Home</a></li>I've attached a screenshot of the resulting moOde pull-down menu. Clicking on the "home" entry takes your browser to http://somewhere...
Which is where exactly? I ask because moOdeOS is an integrated system. It starts up the nginx webserver and the moOde UI *is* the home page. You've got some work to do whether you alter the moOde code (not a good idea, IMHO) or bring up another webserver or .... @Zootalaws has suggested an approach. Candidly I don't understand what you are trying to achieve so I'll bow out.
Regards,
Kent
PS - somehow the forum quoting mechanism didn't include @Zootalaws' reply. Sorry.

If you have used the moosimbu.sh script and modified like i said in my previous post, just reboot it and the installation process restart at this step...
For helping this step of the build (and all the build process, i don't know exactly why but i had 100% success with this trick) you can test to launch these 2 commands before launch the installation process (only with the one SD Card method) :
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y upgradeGood luck

This is the info on unsquashing, modifying, and squashing back again.
Creating and using squashed file systems
How far away is the stable 4.0 release?
I don't want to experiment with a beta since the 3.8 stable seems to work fine for me (though not for my wife - she uses an S7 Edge).

Hi All,
I gave it a try and installed Raspbian on a Pi2 and followed these instructions:
Enter these commands via SSH on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian.
All went well and the img was written to the USB stick.
Now what ? How do I boot the build ? After reboot, I was back in Raspbian again ??
Thanks

Hi @r100,
Only the Raspberry Pi 3-B supports boot via USB.
To continue the build on a Pi-2B you will first need to backup the USB stick to a .img file then write the .img file to an SDCard which u use to boot up the 2B.
Or you can wait a bit for an official release of the new Builder that supports building directly on the boot SDCard 🙂
