[Freedombox-discuss] FreedomBox doesn't appear on my network after installation

[franken.tunui at gmail.com]

Ok thanks, seems easier anyway so will do! What do I need the serial USB for? If I flash an SD card then I do everything from there? ------ Message d'origine------De: Joseph NuthalapatiDate: lun., 12 nov. 2018 06:34À: franken.tunui at gmail.com;Cc: Adrian Gropper;freedombox-discuss at alioth-lists.debian.net;Sébastien Barthélémy;Objet :Re: [Freedombox-discuss] FreedomBox doesn't appear on my network after installationTunui,Since you mentioned that your board has a 4 GB eMMC, I'drecommend installing FreedomBox to the SD card instead since theoperating system itself might take up most of the 4 GB diskspace. FreedomBox applications are currently configured to useinternal storage only, though you might be able to change this ona per application basis. It is better to use the 16 GB microSDcard as your primary installation location and ignore the eMMCstorage for now. microSD will be slower than eMMC though."franken.tunui at gmail.com"  wrote:> Thank you, I'll probably give it a try in a couple days, if I> get to understand everything...Do I just plug in a keyboard and> screen to the Lime2?

I created a user "seb", maybe I should have ctrl-c instead, because freedombox will also want to create a user.* plug the ethernet cable, watch the board get an ip using journaltlf -kf* update the OS:    apt update && apt upgrade* install to eMMC (use ext4 filesystem)    nand-sata-install # do not poweroff at the end    # clear the boot loader signature on the SD card    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=8 count=1    poweroff* remove microSD card* power the board, watch logs on console, login (either from console or SSH),congrats, you're running (armbian f>  lavor of) debian!2/ install freedombox, following instructions from https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Hardware/Debian   sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install freedombox-setup   sudo touch /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades #see below   sudo /usr/lib/freedombox/setup | tee freedombox-setup.log   last command failed with   [2018-11-11 22:17:54,758] plinth.actions ERROR    Error executing command - ['sudo', '-n', '/usr/share/plinth/actions/upgrades', 'enable-auto'], ,   Error: Could not configure unattended-upgrades.   until I ran "sudo touch /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades"reboot (once or twice, I'm not sure what happened) and plinth is now accessible using a web browser.3/ enjoy freedombox.At this point I noticed that syncthing is not available on this plinth version, and that armbian does not seem to provide buster images. I'm not sure what I'll do._______________________________________________> Freedombox-discuss mailing list> Freedombox-discuss at alioth-lists.debian.net> https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss-- Regards,Joseph Nuthalapati
