[lime-users] Interesting dilemma - internet access from router shell

by Harri Nyman

I'm using self-cooked version of latest development LiMe, and I run across quite baffling problem. Routing through AP works fine, I can access internet normally and everything works - HOWEVER, if I log in to router and try accessing internet from router shell, using ssh/wget/opkg/whatever - nope, nothing works. Even ping does not work, although if I use workstation connected to AP and ping from there, without loggin into router, everything works as expected. What am I missing here? Harri

[lime-users] Adding third SSID via lime-config

by Julius Berger

Hi there, thanks for libremesh! My goal is to add another client wifi network. The two from the 'standard' configuration are running and the mesh on 5 ghz also, but if i try to add a third one, running lime-config gives me an error. In my etc/config/lime besides the other config options: config wifi 'radio1' list modes 'ieee80211s' option htmode_5ghz 'HT40' option ieee80211s_encryption 'psk2/aes' option ieee80211s_key 'password' option ieee80211s_mesh_id 'LiMe' option ieee80211s_mesh_fwding '0' option channel_5ghz '48' option distance '100' config wifi 'radio0' list modes 'ap' list modes 'apname' option apname_ssid 'LibreMesh.org/%H' option apname_key 'mypassword' option apname_encryption 'psk2' option ap_ssid 'IoT' option ap_key 'mypassword' option ap_encryption 'psk2' option channel_2ghz '1' option distance '100' That is working. If i add another block in radio0 like this: list modes 'ap2name' option ap_ssid 'thirdSSID' option ap_key 'mypassword' option ap_encryption 'psk2' I'am getting an error on the command line: /usr/lib/lua/lime/wireless.lua:117: module 'lime.mode.ap2name' not found: ... Does some of you has an example of adding more SSID's via the "lime-config-system" for me? Regards Julius

[lime-users] DSL modem - router compatible with LibreMesh

by Patricio Gibbs

I see DSL modem-router combo devices on OpenWrt... Any experience using them with LibreMesh? Are all the necessary config options accessible, either though GUI or CLI? The public ISP here has just informed is that after all it may be impossible for them to sell us a fiber optic connection in the town we have line of sight to, so we're looking for ways to improve our DSL quickly whole we figure out our longer-term strategy. ~ Pato

[lime-users] modifying a router to add antenna

by Patricio Gibbs

Has anyone modified a router that had non-removable antennas to add an attachment for a removable antenna? I imagine it would require: - acquire male RP-SMA connector. - open the router, cut a hole somewhere in the casing, and mount the male RP-SMA connector there. - disconnect the wire of a stock antenna and put a wire from that part of the board to the RP-SMA male. - close the router. Doing this, the router keeps its stock antenna(s), but one of them is disconnected. I guess there's a question about how much power the radio puts out, to know what sort of antenna will work... I don't yet know much about those calculations. ~ P

[lime-users] lime on wrt54g?

by bruno vianna

hello This list a bit quiet, so here is a question for the experts: how difficult it is to port libremesh to the wrt54g? I see there is a openwrt version, but no libremesh. The chipset is not in the target list. Boa Vista de Acará network, near Belem in northern Brazil, got 10 of these routers from FreiFunk. I understand they used to run Tomato firmware in them. Thanks!

[lime-users] Failure of security in community networks in Brazil

by Hiure Queiroz

Hello World! My name is Hiure, I am a member of coolab ( coolab.org). This is the first time I write to this list , I am a beginner on administrate networks and configure equipments. By initiative from COOLAB we are starting a few community networks around Brazil. One of them is where I live , in a rural community in the city of Monteiro Lobato, State of São Paulo. Here we start since the creation of a association to formalize the communitary network and create a model to guide on the other COOLAB installations. We arre using the last version of libremesh , cooking it in the cooker. As we still in a test phase we have only six nodes , the gateway is a tplink wdr3500. With a captive portal, we are running this adapt version to nodogsplash (http://wiki.coolab.org/index.). This system is fundamental to keep the network sustainable, without it we can not finance the connection and technical support for the network. The problem is, in the last months some people found a way to hack this system. What I understood so far: There is a cellphone app that create tunnels for diferent ports and instead of swap packages DNS it tunell all the packages by there. I know just a few things about how firewall, iptables, ebtables, etc, i have been studying it in the last months , but it seens much more complicated because it look that in libremesh, with so many interfaces, its get hard to understand and to execute a rule that can solve this problem. If someone can help me with some tips on t do it , or sending some material where I can study to understand better this questions, it would be great bests Hiure

[lime-users] Start translating LibreMesh now on TranslateWiki.net!!!

by Patricio Gibbs

We now have a space on TranslateWiki.net to translate various parts of the LibreMesh project!!! Please share this invitation with anyone you know who might want to translate. You do not need to know how to program. If you are familiar with wiki software, you will learn quickly how to use translatewiki.net. The only requirements are a good command of languages, a web browser and an open mind. *How to start* 1. Get an account -- https://translatewiki.net/ -- and set up your profile. 2. Do the test translations that it asks you to do, in order to verify that you know both languages and earn the translator permission. 3. Go to https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:LibreMesh and click on "Translate this project" (in your chosen language) at the top of the page. Any questions, reply here. More details below, including the option of offline translation and how to see multiple languages when translating. Currently only software interface strings are translatable, but soon we'll add other parts of the LibreMesh project to translate. onward with translations!! ~ Pato (Most of this email is copied and modified from various pages on TranslateWiki.net.) *MORE DETAILS* To get started, the first thing you need is a user account on translatewiki.net. Creating an account is done in less than a minute and is used to keep track of what you have worked on. It will give you access to translate any of the projects on TranslateWiki. When creating an account you go through some test translations to make sure that you have a basic understanding of the languages. These translations are not live but are instead compared to older translations by trusted users before giving you the rights to start translating live messages. That means that the messages you translate will be used in the next update of the program/website! *Start translating* After you have been given permission to translate, your entry point is most likely going to be the translation tool. It lists all the available groups of messages that we have. Most of the translations happen using this tool, see the tutorial, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Translate/… For more info about how to use TranslateWiki.net: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Intro https://translatewiki.net/wiki/FAQ https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Project:About *Offline translating* https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Offline *How to view translations of a message into other languages* If you are a translator you can choose to display messages on the edit screen in other languages, as well as English and your own language. These assistant languages are set in the 'Edit' tab of 'My preferences'. Anybody can see all the translations of a message by clicking on 'In other languages' in the navigation bar when viewing a message in any language. This takes you to the special page All translations. For example, if you speak Brasilian Portuguese, Spanish, and English, then you can set up "assistant languages" so that you see both English and Spanish translations as you translate into Brasilian Portuguese. *If your language isn't available* https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translatewiki.net_languages *Improving the English source message* If you spot a spelling or grammar error in the original English message, or you would like to suggest a better way of expressing the message, then please do not change the English message but instead put a message on the talk page of the project concerned (or submit a pull request on GitHub). You should explain why you think there is a problem with the current message and propose your alternative. The proposed change will then be discussed in the usual way and, if agreed, then one of the developers at the project concerned will change the message in the source code (kept, for instance, on sourceforge.net, or wherever...) on that project. A bot run by translatewiki.net will then detect the change in the source code and import the new message to translatewiki.net. The amended message is usually brought to the attention of translators by placing the !!FUZZY!! mark in existing translations (it is all automatic; the FUZZY mark is also added by the bot detecting the change). Why can't one edit English-language messages on here? Because changing a message in English may impact all translations. Software developers own the source strings. If you want to propose that a message is changed, please use the button "Ask question" in the translation editor and write your proposal or concern.

[lime-users] Translating text in LibreMesh projects

by Patricio Gibbs

Continuing the conversation from https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/issues/257#issuecomment-365522564 , including @Nikerabbit, part of the TranslateWiki team: @Nikerabbit wrote: > Translate extension supports translating wiki pages (any kind of pain text is okay), so you could copy the markdown readme on the wiki and make it translatable using that feature. Practically, that would mean that future changes should be done to the translatable page and exported back to the repository (or doing changes twice, but overwriting the wiki version with a fresh copy from the repository won't work). > > We have one project using that approach: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Lib.reviews/FAQ > One significant issue here is though that exports from translatable pages to the repository are not automated yet. Within LibreMesh, I see four types of text to translate (besides software interfaces): - web sites - software README files - instructional booklets - subtitles # WEB SITES The web pages of www.libremesh.org are here: https://github.com/libremesh/lime-web/tree/master/docs . We talked about changing from Jekyll to a website engine that has more elegant multilanguage functionality (such as Nikola http://nikola.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual/#multilingual-posts), but for now we're still on Jekyll. Our conversation about this is at https://github.com/libremesh/lime-web/issues/22 . There are two language-specific issues open for the website: https://github.com/libremesh/lime-web/issues/35 Italian and https://github.com/libremesh/lime-web/issues/33 Brasilian Portuguese. One group used Zanata to translate a few pages. I'm tempted to move libremesh.org to a platform that allows translation of the site content on the site, so that all translation can happen on-site instead of pasting it into TranslateWiki, translating, and copying the translation back to the website (or back to a file on GitHub). The www.librerouter.org website runs CyclopeCMS, which has [kind of awkward, admin-dependent] multilingual capabilities, however the site will be moved to WordPress, which has various multilingual options. We welcome and recommendations of WordPress multilingual and translation tools. # README FILES For some software, we want to translate the README but not the software, mostly for command line programs. These include: - lime-sdk https://github.com/libremesh/lime-sdk/blob/develop/README.md - LibreNet6 http://docs.altermundi.net/LibreNet6/Setup I imagine this is the same workflow as for text pages: paste into TW, translate, copy to the appropriate place in a file or web page. # INSTRUCTIONAL BOOKLETS The booklets aren't published yet, but we've already translated some of the drafts by using online pads (EtherPad) and offline OmegaT+. The booklet formats and workflow can be changed if necessary. Currently, the translation happens with TXT files, with a PDF of the original (in Spanish) to give visual context (there are images in the booklets). The booklet creators then paste the translated text and publish a PDF in the target language. There are no plans at the moment to publish the booklets as web pages, though this is a possibility, and might be a good idea. # SUBTITLES There are instructional videos that will be narrated in Spanish or English, and then we'll create subtitle files, and then translate the subtitles. In the past I've used SubtitleEditor on my computer, and www.dotsub.com. If we can put the SRT or other format in a GitHub repo and translate them on TranslateWiki, great. ~ Pato
