Hello meshies
I know everybody is having fun at Battle Mesh, but if someone could take a
look at this I' d really appreciate.
I really have my eyes on the C50, as it seems to be the cheapest dual-band
on the market now. I can get on in Brazil for less than 40 USD! Last week I
bought one which I later found out to be an unsupported V2. But now I got a
V1, and it almost works. If it works, I'll the buy about 10 for an
installation in two weeks.
The problem seems to be with 802.11. The 2.4Ghz radio does not work in
ad-hoc mode - although the 5Ghz radio does. Then I don't know if it's
related, but when it meshes with a WDR3500, the Internet is painfully
slow, with some ping times about 1000-2000 milliseconds. Pinging from the
LiMe gateway at the same time gives me a steady 57ms. Perhaps a different
driver should be used?
Attached is a file with information gathered from the router.
A few other oddities (not as important as the issue above):
- Could not flash from stock directly with the compiled LiMe. I had to
first use this openwrt [1], then LiMe
- When I flash from the firmware above with the LiMe I compiled or the
download Lede, I get the message:
" It appears that you try to flash an image that does not fit into the
flash memory, please verify the image file!
Size: 7.63 MB (7.62 MB available)"
It works fine, tough.
- The firmware I cooked with my community settings (using cooker) won't go
through to the Internet, and gives this ESSID instead of my
community's:{{NETWORK_NAME}} (although it meshes with the LiMe gateway)
- The firmware I cooked without community settings connects to the Internet
through the LiMe gateway with the sluggish times above.
Thanks!

Hey sisters,
Let me share some good news for community networks -and bad ones for ISPs:
0.- Bitmessage has been working on LAN peer auto-discovery. It is
already in v0.6 branch, we tested it and it works.
1.- Retroshare will finally have asynchronous messaging working
(Retroshare already has LAN peer auto-discovery).
2.- Impressive ZeroNet is aware of the importance of LAN peer
auto-discovery and they are going to add this feature.
Hi,
Sometimes I explain what this community network thing is to someone in
my district. They likes the idea and they has an ISP router. Then I ask
them if they would like to share their Internet connection and they says
"yes, why not?". But then they asks if users in the community network
could have access to their private home network. I answer they could,
but it can be avoided in different ways -create different VLANs in the
ISP router, configure a firewall, closing ports in the computers...
Then they stops liking this community network thing.
It is frustrating, because many people do not share their Internet
connection because of this, and so we lose the resources we need.
I was wondering if there would be a way that LiMe could come
preconfigured in such a way that, when an Internet gateway is added, it
could only communicate to that ISP router, and no other host in that
private network. I mean to automatically create the proper firewall
rules so that the LiMe network could not access hosts in private networks.
That would not be real security, as that configuration could be removed
by any administrator in the community network, but we would be able to
start our answer saying "by default LiMe cannot enter into your private
network", and then explain what they could do to improve their security.
What do you think of it?
Have you found this obstacle?
What would you reply to that person?
Is my proposal doable?
If so, should I open a Github issue? Where? In lime-packages?
Hi all!
Sorry for pointing out an annoying fact, but our IRC channel is not
working as user support contact.
In my opinion should be removed from our contact page on the website.
Most of the questions being asked there remain unanswered because either
we're not answering fast enough or the users disconnect without waiting
enough for an answer (many users are not used to IRC).
This has never really worked.
It's neither being used for discussions about development as devs are
not often active there.
We can just remove the suggestion to contact us via IRC (as seems it's
not a valid contact anymore) and recommend just the mailing list.
Otherwise we can move the channel to another chat system.
What do you think?
Do we need to have a more effective chat for user support or just using
this mailing list is enough?
Bye,
Ilario
Dear all,
there will be a LibreMesh hackaton in CSOA Matakrostes [1] for the
weekend of 10th-11th of February.
You can participate to the meeting remotely via Matrix chat (also
accessible via IRC) [2].
Ciao,

Hello here,
I have been trying to troubleshoot my router this days again.
I don't know what I did for it to start connecting to my computer. But I
still get issues.
I can't connect to thisnode.info
I have followed the troubleshoot tutorials again and when I run the command
ip -4 address show scope global or ip route. I get the follow up address
10.5.5.0/24
I don't know which to use to connect. Nevertheless, I have tried 10.5.5.0
and 10.5.5.24 but none of the above still connects.
I have tried ip -4 route show scope global. But I get no result.
When I run the route -n or netstat -nr , i get 10.5.5.0 or 169.254.0.0 as
the kernel IPS. The gate way is 0.0.0.0 for both IPS and genmask is
255.255.255.0 and 255.255.0.0 respectively.
Nevertheless, when I try connecting to the router using ssh root(a)10.5.5.0
I get network is not reachable.
When I try 10.5.5.24 or 169.254.0.0 , I get no route to host.
When I run sudo netdiscover I get 10.5.5.55 as the IP of the tp link
router. When I ssh root(a)10.5.5.55 , I get connection refused.
My knowledge is finished. So I really need help on setting up this
router.
Note I have very limited knowledge in networks so my questions might be
dumb at times.
one the things I will love to achieve is to do my final year project on
libremesh.
Thanks and waiting to hear from you
At your service

Hello all! I was doing some translations on .lua files (or hard
translations if you so) to pt-br. And then i realized that lime has
translations for ENG and ESP in some files with .lmo extension.
I saw where the code generates its .lmo files but idk how to proceed.
Any effort on that way?

Last LibreMesh builds might be broken due this bmx6 bug
https://github.com/bmx-routing/bmx6/issues/12
If you are experiencing IPv4 connectivity problems in your mesh networks
(no traffic at all), it might be because of this.
You can check the bmx6 version running in your nodes by executing "bmx6
-c --version"
Cheers.
GSoC ideas needed :)

Hello,
the new GSoC [1] is coming up and all organizations can apply with fresh
ideas. This year the deadline is already on 23.01 so we should move quick!
Luckly, the german Freifunk community created a website to collect ideas
[2]. We could discuss here needed features and projects and decide who
writes a (short) proposal for the website.
I already did so and created an project proposal to work on the new bmx7
[3].
As I'm still a student I'd very much like to participate again. Last
year I worked on the image server and chef [4] which slowly gains some
attention. If possible I could continue the work on that as well.
So far so good,
Paul
