Re: Services do not start right.

I have the same problem with Samba (ipsec I don't use). And yes, I can also start Samba by a simple restart of the service from the command line.

I found out that the smbd crashes during startup and leaves a core dump in /var/log/samba/cores/smbd
(and I know next to nothing about the content of a ...

Re: Cannot boot from rescue usb

I changed the usb and it is working now although I wonder if it has been working all the time ( I didn't go back and use my first usb again).

The thing is that the manual is somewhat misleading IMHO: In the section about reinstallation it says that is it finished once the light becomes blue, and I ...

Re: Cannot boot from rescue usb

I downloaded the installation image from this link: http://update.excito.net/install/latest/b3/

As far as I understand (correct me if I am wrong) this is the only available image. You then change the flag in the bubba.cfg file in order to make a rescue usb instead of a re-installation usb (I'm ...

Re: Cannot boot from rescue usb

Ubi: From the support page it's only possible to download a zip-file containing the files that should be on a rescue usb. You cannot download an iso-image. Or maybe I don't understand your point: How can I reinstall or boot from an rescue image without an usb?

Cannot boot from rescue usb

Hi,

Somehow I've wrecked some settings in the B3 so that Samba doesn't start, and I can't login via ssh either (web interface works though..).
So I made a rescue disk using GParted (msdos partition table, primary partition and boot flag set) and copied the 2.2.1 image onto it and changing the DO ...

Re: Cannot login using ssh

OK, I finally solved this one after several hours of work ......

It turned out that I was using an older version of Putty (0.51) that I have been using for a long time without any problems. But this version apparently does not work with B3.

After installing the newest version (0.60) it worked ...

Cannot login using ssh

Hi,

I just got my Excito B3 and can connect via the web interface. I have created a user and checked the "shell login" check box. However I cannot login using ssh (Putty): I keep getting "Access Denied". This is the case with the 2.1 software version and the 2.2 version which I have upgraded to. I ...
