help testing orange pi 3 lts

https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/suites/11416573936/artifacts/588213660 in case anyone wants to try out the orange pi 3 lts image of ratos I created. If this works then Mikel can merge in my pull request and we can add it to the experimental supported boards. You must be signed into GitHub for that link to work properly.

Any specific model? I guess I'm asking what's the slowest Orange Pi we are expecting it to work on?

blacksmithforlife•16mo ago

Well this is specific to the 3 lts as that's the image from armbian I used. Different orange pi use different CPU so the images aren't interchangeable

continuing-cyan•16mo ago

I'll check what we have at work, we got some in during the Raspberry Pi shortage

blacksmithforlife•16mo ago

Though I would hope that it would be as simple as copy the orange pi 3 lts config for the other orange pi boards, in practice it isn't always so simple

continuing-cyan•16mo ago

Ok I borrowed one but now I can't find an SD card lol

blacksmithforlife•16mo ago

Lol. I did find an issue, the wifi doesn't start properly with wpa_supplicant Also the board doesn't have the ability to scan for WiFi while hosting a hotspot @beany new image is building now https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/actions/runs/4389991642/jobs/7688090262 @beany ok so because the configurator doesn't allow you to just enter the ssid and the password manually there is a bit of work to get the wifi working. You first have to disable the wifi by running sudo systemctl disable create_ap then connect via ethernet and use the configurator as normal after it saves and reboots, then you need to re-enable by running sudo systemctl enable create_ap then you can either wait until you reboot again or start it manually by running sudo systemctl start create_ap I just tried on my board and all this worked. Yeah not a great experience, but https://github.com/Rat-OS/RatOS-configurator/issues/9 should make it much smoother @riddlez. 👆 in case you also want to test

environmental-rose•16mo ago

Works as stated. Also, adding manual wifi config to the configurator will make the experience considerably better.. Thanks for your time with the OrangePi blacksmith! My machine has been running smooth with the OPI LTS. No stability issues at all. Been printing almost constantly.

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

What are the new changes? I can test it after I get off work a few hours later

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

I fixed the wifi hotspot, and as soon as the latest build is complete I fixed the SPI so the ADXL should work https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/suites/11679262123/artifacts/607274248

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

Ok, I recently tested if I have time, today re-assembled, my v-core3.1 replaced with abs prints, about 2 days to test completed

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

I was testing last night. I can get through everything until it comes time for the unit to connect to wifi. It will not connect and always goes back to the AP I can get it to see the wifi networks, but it also shows double of my networks. But it never connects

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

yes, that is unfortunately the hardware. It doesn't seem able to do both at the same time

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

hmm I can only get this to connect to wifi on the debian based armbian image been working on it for the last hour and it just won't connect to my wifi even though it's getting great signal strength and the password is correct, i've tried both of the 2.4g that show up and both the 5g that show up for a total of 4 networks and nada Going to let it sit for a few and see if it shows up on the router I do have it connected via ethernet initially, and I had been leaving it in, but i disconnected it on this reboot to see if it will force the wifi to connect

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

start_hotspot.sh is what starts the hotspot or connects to the wifi

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

Thank you. I ended up just going into orangepi-config and adding it there and it's working now about to reboot and see if it sticks Did not stick after reboot 😦

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

Because that script starts the hotspot sooner. It is meant to work with the Rat-OS configurator which writes the SSID and password to wpa_supplicant file

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

ahh, okay interesting, i was going back through the steps writing notes for myself and when I went to the configure page after sudo systemctl disable create_ap it was showing the wireless ip lol

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

Did you look at the start_hotspot.sh script like I suggested?

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

No, I didn't realize you were saying to look at it. Thought you were just telling me about it Either way, it's sitting next to me with wifi working Also, thank you for responding. I'm still a noob on linux and pi's etc. Figured I'd be a good test case lmao For testing, I was connected via wifi and ran sudo systemctl start create_ap and did a reboot. It went back to creating the AP and hasn't connected to wifi. I'm going to move it back and connect via ethernet and take a look at start_hotspot.sh cancel that, found it, but running to Ace before it close for some bolts bbl to continue

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

so you can see here https://github.com/Rat-OS/RatOS-configurator/blob/v2.x/src/scripts/add-wifi-network.sh#L11-L75 ratos configurator will write the SSID and Password to the wpa_supplicant file until that file exists AND it is able to parse the SSID and password AND it is able to connect to that wifi, it will continue to create the hotspot until https://github.com/Rat-OS/RatOS-configurator/issues/9 is implemented there is no way to manually enter the wifi info - so yeah it stinks but hey orangepi isn't supported yet

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

Totally understood. I can get it up and running by disabling the AP. Like I said, I figured I was a good test subject lol.

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

you don't disable the AP

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

looking at the wpa_supplicant file i do see my network in there under a section called Supplied by RatOS Configurator sorry, it works if i run this "sudo systemctl disable create_ap"

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

yeah - don't do that that is what I am trying to tell you - that script will start the wifi using the info in the wpa_supplicant file No need to enable wifi via orangepi-config or anything

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

okay, so then why won't it connect? the info is in the supplicant file i'm using your instructions from the 11th?

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

maybe you messed something up when you did https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/1082857318712090754/1087484309985833040

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

Possibly. I'll reflash and try again. Should I not use what you wrote on the 11th?

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

I would re-flash using the latest image I linked (https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/suites/11679262123/artifacts/607274248) since I have no idea what you are talking about - probably ignore it for now I have updated the image several times since the 11th

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/1082857318712090754/1084121472458563614 kk reflashing

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

but note - you CANNOT set the wifi using the configurator because that is a hardware limitation so you must write the WPA_supplication file yourself (until that feature I mentioned is implemented) everything else should be working as normal RatOS

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

Okay, got it. So reflash, let it boot up, get in via SSH and add my network manually to the WPA_supplication file?

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

yeah that's old - no need to do that anymore if you want it to stop doing hotspot and connect to wifi - yes

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

yeah i have no need for hotspot i can throw it on the ethernet to configure initially

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

echo "## WPA/WPA2 secured
network={
  ssid="put SSID here"
  psk="put password here"
}" | sudo tee /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

echo "## WPA/WPA2 secured
network={
  ssid="put SSID here"
  psk="put password here"
}" | sudo tee /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

replace ssid and psk with your info

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

and thank you again

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

yeah - thank you for testing! I don't have a spare printer to test on yet so I can only do so much

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

lmao, i write technical documents for other things so I feel any pain explaining things to people i'm building my first rat rig currently, electronics and wire routing is where I'm at now, but wanted to get the orange pi going while doing other things

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

Well as a programmer/tech lead - I am probably the reason you feel such pain though (even if I do say so myself) I think https://github.com/jscancella/bagging#bagging-library is pretty good documentation

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

no, people just don't read instructions, which i can be guilty of too

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

as is everyone

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

on second thought, I'm adding any cybersecurity dept to 2nd on the list after users lmao I work with a bunch of them, I get it and their job is important, but when you're 3 layers of windows deep because a certain app can only be run in VDI in a specific environment... yeah, no fun

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

So yeah - let me know if you run into any other issues than that wifi stuff. Not much more I can do until Mikel implements that work around

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

Will do. Thank you again for your help! Also, wifi generally seems to be an issue on this board. I couldn't get it working on the Armbian Jammy version, had to use Debian

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

Yeah the wifi is a mess. I got it to work on bullseye armbian, but then I couldn't get SPI to work

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

Which language do you all use java/python/c++?

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

Typically I use Java and python. But I have used many others to a lesser degree. I don't do as much programming as I used to unfortunately

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

I am not a programmer so I use what the Google says to use lol

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

I took a C programming class in high school back in the 90's... I decided then that I wasn't a programmer lol

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

I will only a little python is not very proficient, this year in the study of java Currently working in software testing, or want to learn more about programming

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

My must read books that changed how I wrote programs+in no particular order): * Clean code * Accelerate: the science of lean software and DevOps * Release it! * The culture code * Effective Java * Hacking the art of exploitation * Designing data intensive applications

Work related

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

Okay, thanks for sharing

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

Lol, so my wifi name includes both spaces and the name wifi. System thinks it's an extra argument Tried turning on my guest network but it said secrets weren't provided And to get to that point, I still had to disable create_ap. As of now, the only way I can get it working is to run sudo systemctl disable create_ap and connect via orangepi-config

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

Well if you feel up to the challenge, you can try improving how it finds the SSID grep -E "^\s+ssid" /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//g' | cut -c 7- | sed 's/.$//' Either that or edit https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/blob/orange_pi_3lts_using_official_image/src/modules/hotspot_orangepi/filesystem/root/usr/bin/start_hotspot.sh#L9 to have quotes around the SSID and password variables @paerrin https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/suites/11710017357/artifacts/609465186 should have changes so that your SSID having spaces in it shouldn't cause an issue you still need to enter your info though via

echo "## WPA/WPA2 secured
network={
  ssid="put SSID here"
  psk="put password here"
}" | sudo tee /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

echo "## WPA/WPA2 secured
network={
  ssid="put SSID here"
  psk="put password here"
}" | sudo tee /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

Downloading to test now. Here's what I get when I run the script when the create_ap function is disabled:

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

and then it hangs but it does recognize the wifi name now, took at look at start_hotspot.sh and saw you added quotes

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

Well I can't really help debug it because then you would have to post your SSID and password. But if you find out the reason and there needs to be a change let me know

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

will do, is it possible to have it wait before it creates the AP? I'm wondering if it just doesn't have enough time to connect and/or if it's not passing the pw properly based on that error the pw is definitely correct in the file

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/blob/orange_pi_3lts_using_official_image/src/modules/hotspot_orangepi/filesystem/root/usr/bin/start_hotspot.sh line 9 executes before the hotspot gets created so no need to wait

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

You can try copying and pasting lines 6 and 8 and testing if the output is correct

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

I will try that!

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

Soon, I'll start testing after the installation today after work

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

I like the silver extrusions! Sorry got distracted doing wiring lol. I did both and it's pulling them so 🤷

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

Yeah, I couldn't buy the black translucent pc board so I ended up buying silver aluminum and clear pc board.

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

and what is the output from sudo nmcli dev wifi connect "${SSID}" password "${PASSWORD}" ?

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

how would I see that output? might be beyond me

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

You run that command and the console will write output Just like when you run ls and it outputs the files and directories there

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

okay, I tried just running it and it came up empty but I had been fiddling with that one so I just flashed it again and hooked it up to ethernet

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

If it didn't put anything out it probably connected to your wifi. So yeah IDK why it isn't working for you @paerrin I am looking at https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/1082857318712090754/1084121472458563614 and I have to apologize - that is indeed the way to get the wifi to work. but once Mikel implements the ability to just enter the info via the configurator then you shouldn't need to do it

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

All good. I was learning new things 🙂 So I thank you either way. Yeah, this is the solution. But disabling the create_ap function works. I do not re-enable it though, that's where it goes wrong for me. If I leave it disabled everything works as intended.

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

that's because you are using orangepi_config to input the wifi though right?

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

Correct. That's what I had done. I'm just about to try again from a fresh image. It was giving me fits connecting to the ethernet.

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

yeah, don't do that. Use the configurer, that is what the create_ap is designed in mind with so after you disable, visit <orange pi IP>/configure?step=0

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

IIRC even doing that, it won't connect and always creates the ap uno momento

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

step 1: disable create_ap - sudo systemctl disable create_ap step 2: reboot - sudo shutdown -r now step 3: go to <orange pi IP>/configure?step=0 and follow directions as normal step 4: after configurer reboots enable create_ap - sudo systemctl enable create_ap step 5: reboot one last time - sudo shutdown -r now your wifi should be working if it doesn't work, then most likely there is either a bug in the start script or the wpa_supplicant file is formatted wrong

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

on step 2 on the final reboot yeah, AP is running again, one sec

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

grep -E "^\s+ssid" /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//g' | cut -c 7- | sed 's/.$//' returns the correct SSID?

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

and disabling it again does not connect me to the wifi, so I have a feeling your suspicion is correct

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

grep -E "^\s+psk" /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//g' | cut -c 5- returns the correct password?

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

one sec it's rebooting after I re-enabled create ap SSID is correct, the password returns a long string, looking at wpa_supplicant.conf It does show the correct pw commented out with a new psk= under with the long string after and that's what's returned

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

right that is the hashed password what happens when you run

SSID=`grep -E "^\s+ssid" /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//g' | cut -c 7- | sed 's/.$//'`
PASSWORD=`grep -E "^\s+psk" /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//g' | cut -c 5-`
sudo nmcli dev wifi connect "${SSID}" password "${PASSWORD}"

SSID=`grep -E "^\s+ssid" /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//g' | cut -c 7- | sed 's/.$//'`
PASSWORD=`grep -E "^\s+psk" /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//g' | cut -c 5-`
sudo nmcli dev wifi connect "${SSID}" password "${PASSWORD}"

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

No network found because it's running the AP

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

disable it - reboot and run the above

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

Device 'wlan0' successfully activated with '04.... etc.

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

ohhh - I just thought of this. It may not like that sudo in the script 😅 what does sudo systemctl show -pUser,UID create_ap output?

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

UID=[not set]
User=

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

yeah... it is running as root and I am an idiot so I don't need to call sudo in that script - that is the bug

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

ahhhhh

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

once https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/actions/runs/4495581445 is done building it should be fixed

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

kk, i'll give it a shot when it's done

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

not sure if you want to try and edit that script (command line text editing isn't the easiest)

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

i think i can do that, i can just open it in nano

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

ok, I have to do bathtime with kids. Just remove sudo from /usr/bin/start_hotspot.sh

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

On it. And ooo fun! Mine is too old for that now. Not gonna lie, I don't totally miss it lmao She hated getting her face wet. It was challenging...

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

Mine is same, I had to get him a towel because I got water in his eyes 🙄

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

the joys of being a parent lol

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

This evening I should be able to start testing, reinstallation of most of the work has been completed, on the remaining wiring

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

edited the start_hotspot.sh file and removed the sudo but still didn't work, always goes back to the AP I'm about in the same spot you are. I just need to shorten two more wires and put the bed heater on and wire that up and I will be able to test

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

What does sudo journalctl -xe output?

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

I guess you could also add some logging to the script and then check what it is outputting when it runs

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

Is this the latest package? I'll sort it out and test it later

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

yes

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

Skip it here?

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

Depends on which step you're on. If you're just starting, yes, you skip this if you want to make your firmware.

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

Oh, then skip the executable ones here as before

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

Here how to access via Ethernet well? Or through the HDMI mouse keyboard operation

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

ethernet keyboard and mouse won't work

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

ok,I'll try it after work tomorrow. I'm too tired after I finish connecting today

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

It doesn't work, and cannot be accessed after the last reboot http://ratos.local/configure?step=1

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

that's not much to go on. You are going to have to help me out and look at logs and try and figure out why it isn't working cause I can't reproduce it locally

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

I think the hotspot didn't shut down successfully, the hotspot restarted after a reboot and I saw the hotspot's ip on ssh

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

the hotspot only starts if it can't connect to the wifi - you need to investigate that part this part of the script:

if [[ -e /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ]]
then
  #get info from wpa_supplicant
  SSID=`grep -E "^\s+ssid" /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//g' | cut -c 7- | sed 's/.$//'`
  #PASSWORD=`grep -E "^\s+#psk" /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//g' | cut -c 6-`
  PASSWORD=`grep -E "^\s+psk" /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//g' | cut -c 5-`
  nmcli dev wifi connect "${SSID}" password "${PASSWORD}"
fi

if [[ -e /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ]]
then
  #get info from wpa_supplicant
  SSID=`grep -E "^\s+ssid" /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//g' | cut -c 7- | sed 's/.$//'`
  #PASSWORD=`grep -E "^\s+#psk" /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//g' | cut -c 6-`
  PASSWORD=`grep -E "^\s+psk" /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//g' | cut -c 5-`
  nmcli dev wifi connect "${SSID}" password "${PASSWORD}"
fi

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

Okay, let me check it out Which file is this part in?

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

/usr/bin/start_hotspot.sh

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

yeah lines 3-10

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

It seems that the connection was not successful

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

you have to disable the hotspot first before trying

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

Yeah, I just disabled it, I'll try again

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

"After the last reboot, it still turned on the hotspot, and it seems that the connection was not successful." "Manually connecting via SSH can succeed. Could it be that there was a lack of password verification, so it did not succeed?"

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

I haven't been able to get it to work without leaving the hotspot off. Once I do the disable command, I don't turn it back on. If you don't need the AP to be created, I don't see a reason you need to turn it back on unless you lose the unit at some point.

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

yeah but that's not going to work for Mikel, so if you want it officially supported we got to get it to work. new build if anyone wants to try https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/suites/11794896199/artifacts/615539793 I made some changes to the script so that it will log information when it tried to run stuff https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/commit/3893f09753c8c631dacb0418317d1780cd2ae4a6

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

Fair. I tossed my unit in my build so I could start testing that. I have a second unit coming tomorrow morning and I can use that for testing. Has anyone done any testing with webcams? I'm off to Micro Center to pick one up for the new printer I'll stick with Logitech as it's known to work with linux and crowsnest lol alright, well the Logitech C922 worked with no issues

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

ok I found the issue. even though I put a requirement to have the network up before running the creat_ap service it still isn't up fully. So you end up getting an error that the SSID isn't found... https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/actions/runs/4522277218 should fix that

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

Okay, I'll test it after the build is successful My klicky is finally adjusted

Maba_Kalox•15mo ago

@blacksmithforlife how usable is orange pi as host for ratos 2 currently? (Sorry if wrong channel) I am ready to help test btw, currently finishing my vcore with Orange Pi 3lts + skr1.3 (no software part yet, just mechanics is done)

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

currently you cannot be on hotspot and use the configurator to set the wifi because the hardware cannot both host a hostpot and scan for wifi signals. Otherwise I believe it should have feature parity with a normal raspberry pi

Maba_Kalox•15mo ago

Oh, that is more or less fine. This behaviour sounds pretty much how esp32 behaves, it refuse to scan in AP mode, but it supports mixed mode(AP+STA), and in mixed/STA mode it scans fine. Does orange pi support STA+AP mode? I checked branches in RatOS repo, there is two branches (official image and without it) which one would you recommend to use?

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

use this one https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/suites/11811101749/artifacts/616619902 (you need to sign into github before the link works)

Maba_Kalox•15mo ago

I am fine to build from source, this link seems to be to artifact. But I guess from armbian in name, this is official image branch?

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

ignore the name, it is too much hassle to have it properly pick up that it is using the official orangepi images But the image itself is NOT armbian (that is a different branch). I wasn't able to get the hotspot working with official armbian

Maba_Kalox•15mo ago

Okay, so, this branch it is? https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/tree/orange_pi_3lts_using_official_image

Maba_Kalox•15mo ago

I just like to build staff from source😅 Gentoo user here

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

believe me, don't.

Maba_Kalox•15mo ago

Okay, got it. I guess if you recommend, it is a hassle😅 I will follow your advice

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

the only problem is that the hotspot and wifi cannot work at the same time, it can be used through manual connection, I have been using it for a while, no other problems

Maba_Kalox•15mo ago

Weird bug, I boot up this artifact (https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/suites/11811101749/artifacts/616619902), and followed guide to 1) disable create_ap 2) open /configure?step=0 failed to scan wifi network fixed, for some reason NetworkManager.conf had my device as unmanaged...

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

In between step 1 and 2 there you need to reboot

Maba_Kalox•15mo ago

yep. did it. Just some sneaky

[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=wlan0

in NetworkManage.conf Now I am curious, will ratos fit into 8gb emmc. Requirements in documentation suggests - no, but hope suggests - yes

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

I wouldn't

Maba_Kalox•15mo ago

okay. it fitted, though almost took entire flash😅 (5.8gb/7gb) btw, what happens with printer on kernel panic? Is there some safety measurement in klipper like heartbeat check? (both directions) I faced same issue, seems like collision of dpkg and ratos modifications to avahi. Running sudo dpkg --configure -a and responding N(keep your currently-installed version) fixed the issue

fascinating-indigo•15mo ago

Sweet. I'll check it when I get home on Saturday.

Maba_Kalox•15mo ago

Do someone use Orange pi with mellow fly sht? I can not successfully finish reflash randomly, dfu-utils fails with error:

dfu-util: Error during download get_status: -4 (LIBUSB_ERROR_NO_DEVICE)

dfu-util: Error during download get_status: -4 (LIBUSB_ERROR_NO_DEVICE)

` if device is in dfu mode by jumper, if it was flashed and in normal mode, it fails with

dfu-util : failed to detach

dfu-util : failed to detach

, both this errors appears after successful reflash and during get_status after - :leave command in dfu-utils, though device seems to function normally afterwards (it exits DFU state and boots into flashed firmware).

Maba_Kalox•15mo ago

I discussed this problem in https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/1091764799769157743, but because flashing same firmware in dfu mode by my Linux PC, does not report same error, I guess something is wrong with Orange Pi

Or maybe I have faulty Mellow fly sht36 or/and faulty Orange pi 3 lts. So, I would be thankful if someone would try to update firmware of fly-sht 36 by Orange pi 3 lts Sorry. False alarm, that is not Orange pi fault, but rather - bad configuration of firmare/faulty fly-sht 36. It fails on

libusb_reset_device

libusb_reset_device

with error code:

LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_FOUN

LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_FOUN

, which according to documentation of libusb, means:

If the reset fails, the descriptors change, or the previous state cannot be restored, the device will appear to be disconnected and reconnected. This means that the device handle is no longer valid (you should close it) and rediscover the device. A return code of LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_FOUND indicates when this is the case.

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

@miklschmidt FYI image is ok

rare-sapphire•15mo ago

Few people use emmc directly, 3lts emmc is still too small Use sd card, emmc is not much faster

Maba_Kalox•15mo ago

So, I just separated root and home partition, so root take only 63% of emmc of 3lts and rest the laying in external sd card. Maybe you have some crazy speed sd card, mine is speed class mark 10 and it is a lot slower then 3lts emmc by a lot (8.7mb/s vs 110mb/s). Probably thought such speeds are useless for 3d printer firmware, but I enjoy fast boot times😅

miklschmidt•15mo ago

@blacksmithforlife might want to include this in the image yes, the mcu's will go into shutdown mode if they lose connection with the klippy process at least they should 😄

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

So how do you do this non-interactively?

Maba_Kalox•15mo ago

If you would like to fix image, I think it is better to not cause dpkg errors instead of fixing them. Is Avahi embedded into RatOs image? (Preinstalled) as I understand, dpkg did not like that avahi config file was already present before avahi installation, so maybe worth to put RatOS related configuration into configuration subdir in etc/avahi, rather then modifying avahi.conf? I am just guessing, I can try to fix it in a week and send PR

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/blob/orange_pi_3lts_using_official_image/src/modules/orangepiconfig/start_chroot_script#L58 is how it is installed https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/blob/orange_pi_3lts_using_official_image/src/modules/ratos/filesystem/root/etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf is the config that gets used https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/blob/orange_pi_3lts_using_official_image/config/armbian/orangepi3lts#L26 shows the order they get installed in, as you can see orangepi which installs avahi comes before ratos module which then sets the avahi daemon

Maba_Kalox•15mo ago

I can’t find what check_install_pkgs does, but maybe it does not call dpkg configure, unlike apt?

blacksmithforlife•15mo ago

https://github.com/guysoft/CustomPiOS/blob/devel/src/common.sh#L446

Maba_Kalox•15mo ago

Okay, now I feel dumb, I remembered that I used orangepi-configure tool and asked it to install avahi, it hanged and I decided to kill it, that probably caused “dpkg was interrupted”, so we are discussing un existing problem😅 Though I started to try to install avahi through orangepi-configure as mdns did not work… If I will find spare SD card, I will try to check it, as currently my only SD card occupied by Home petition of RATos

fair-rose•13mo ago

Can someone share the link to the latest image. I have one of these devices and am willing to test.

fair-rose•13mo ago

Ok cool. Downloaded that version already. Just wasn’t sure if it was current. Quick update. The Wi-Fi issue is a pain, but interestingly enough, if it’s connected to any Wi-Fi network, it will scan for others…. I couldn’t get Ethernet to work, so I had to disable start-ap, manually bring up Wi-Fi, re-enable start-ap, then run through the configuratior and was able to compete without problems using an up address To get it to self-register mdns, I had to install avahi-daemon.

blacksmithforlife•13mo ago

I couldn’t get Ethernet to work

how long did you wait for ethernet connection?

fair-rose•13mo ago

Long enough ;-). Probably close to 10 mins.

blacksmithforlife•13mo ago

it already installs avahi https://github.com/jscancella/RatOS/blob/orange_pi_3lts_using_official_image/src/modules/orangepiconfig/start_chroot_script#L58

fair-rose•13mo ago

When I installed avahi-daemon it gave me an error about the conf file existing already, but I allowed it to overwrite since the conf file existed but was empty. I now have a functional orangepi3 That’s strange. It clearly wasn’t on my install.

blacksmithforlife•13mo ago

and the fact your ethernet isn't working when it works fine on mine indicates something is wrong. I would check your SD card

fair-rose•13mo ago

I’ll reflash and document the steps. I’ve reflashed and started from scratch with the first boot protocol. Plugging the Ethernet before first boot, it seems to get further in the config process. I’ve issued ctrl-alt-f1 and am watching the console messages for the last half hour. Still no avahi-daemon though.

fair-rose•13mo ago

This is on a clean build. I had Ethernet connected for 40 minutes to let things settle. Then I ran through the configuration to set hostname and wireless. Rebooted, then logged in, checked interfaces, then checked to see if avahi was installed.

blacksmithforlife•13mo ago
