Missing /dev/shm

[yesimxev]

Device:

Oneplus One, S6 edge

OS version (KitKat/Lollipop/Marshmallow/Nougat):

Marshmallow, Nougat

Built from repo (date and build command) or downloaded from website (links):

Github

Output of cat /proc/version in adb shell or NetHunter Terminal:

Linux version 3.10.61-yesimxev-gab2e937-dirty (root@kali) (gcc version 4.9.x-google 20140827 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 1 00:03:43 CET 2019

Issue:

Not sure what is it related to, but realised in the last few months fs build, in the nethunter VNC session. The firefox has a blank page, no menus, no webpage etc, unless /dev/shm exists. So when I do
mkdir /dev/shm
it all works fine as before, webpage pops in straightaway.

does your custom kernel have CONFIG_SHMEM=Y?

[yesimxev]

Yes, it is enabled in my zerolte and probably in binkybear's Oneplus One kernel source too, can't check that one at the moment

hmm, i wonder if we need to make an shm mount in the bootkali_init script https://github.com/offensive-security/nethunter-app/blob/master/assets/scripts/bootkali_init
it is strange because we are setting the shmmax there

[yesimxev]

Shall we add the mkdir command to the init? Btw would be good to know if it happens on other devices too. The command was not needed a few months ago though

Should be fixed in offensive-security/nethunter-app@78a3fd6

Could you give it another try using the 2019.2 branch please?
