Hello!

I am trying to install an internet cube (on a Lime2, with a .cube file for the VPN) following the steps provided at [http://install.labriqueinter.net](http://install.labriqueinter.net)

Flashing the image goes well, as well as board startup. Still, when I connect to the web interface, it launches a yunohost update and then the postinstall phase: I have been told that this means that the additional elements of the internet cube have failed to install.  
I tries a couple of times, same result.

How should I proceed to install an internet cube:

1. Try again the same steps, or some other (I have been told that tools are somewhat unstable at the moment)?
2. Should I go for yunohost and then add the right additional software to have a fully-fledged internet cube? What should I then install for this?

Thanks!

Hi there,

so from [install.labriqueinter.net](http://install.labriqueinter.net), you should have obtained an hypercube file.

You need to provide this hypercube file to the setup either by :

- using the appropriate argument in the install-sd.sh script when flashing the SD card (the script is available from here [https://repo.internetcu.be/](https://repo.internetcu.be/) (or similar page in french))
- or plugging an USB key containing the file before your first boot the board

After that, you should find the local IP of your board (e.g. with arp-scan) and go to [http://192.168.x.y:2468/install.html](http://192.168.x.y:2468/install.html) to find the installation debug page to follow the install process

Or another trick is to use this small page that uses black magic to do all this from your browser : [https://repo.internetcu.be/tools/](https://repo.internetcu.be/tools/)

The hypercube procedure is explained at the bottom of [https://repo.internetcu.be/](https://repo.internetcu.be/). Note that you should _not_ perform the yunohost postinstall yourself. It is done by the hypercube install process among other things

Hope it helps !

I heard that there’s an issue with the latest image available.  
I just tried by myself here and I encountered the following errors during the first Debian upgrade.

```auto
Setting up yunohost-admin (3.5.2) ...
unable to write 'random state'
dpkg: error processing package yunohost-admin (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.130) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.14.84-sunxi
update-initramfs: Converting to u-boot format
Errors were encountered while processing:
 yunohost-admin
W: --force-yes is deprecated, use one of the options starting with --allow instead.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

```

Please try the latest unofficial image named [internetcube-stretch-3.4.2-lime2-stable.img.tar.xz](https://repo.labriqueinter.net/images/internetcube-stretch-3.4.2-lime2-stable.img.tar.xz). Download that file and when flashing the SD card you’ll have to use option “-f”, like this:

```
bash install-sd.sh -2y install.hypercube -f internetcube-stretch-3.4.2-lime2-stable.img.tar.xz
```

Thanks @pitchum!

Still, after installing, connecting the lime to power and ethernet, on the web page I am prompted to start the postinstall. Seems like the issue is not resolved?

_Edit_  
I didn’t notice at first that the new image was unofficial. Since the link you provided do not work, I tried with [https://repo.labriqueinter.net/internetcube-stretch-latest-lime2.img.tar.xz](https://repo.labriqueinter.net/internetcube-stretch-latest-lime2.img.tar.xz) and I still have the issue.

Did you do that …?

@anne, same question as @Aleks: did you open [http://192.168.x.y:2468/install.html](http://192.168.x.y:2468/install.html) after booting the cube for the first time?  
It’s a web page showing the progress of the cube installation.  
This is a very important step that lasts approximately 30 minutes and that must not be interrupted.

I guess it’s too late to view this page but if you can access your cube via SSH you may be able to read log files located in _/var/log/hypercube/_.

Forgot that, so I did it again and install process went right (apart from the known roundcube issue), clearly I wasn’t waiting enough and forgot to check the install webpage. So it seems that my issue wasn’t related to tools instability. Sorry and thank you so much!
