Greetings, After several years of successful Asterisk repeater operation using Centos (node 27610), I have decided to move into the 21st century and update to Debian/Allstar/Asterisk. Sounded like a great project to attack over the holidays. I dug up an identical HP dc5100 PC, same as current repeater controller, for the new system. It has one CDROM drive and many USB ports. The install .ISO file on the AllstarLink website is too big for a CD, so I created a bootable thumbdrive and forced my PC to boot from that. After the install completes and shuts down, I remove the thumbdrive and restart the PC. It comes up with the repeater prompt, but does not continue the installation of Asterisk. There exists no "asterisk.sh". I would appreciate guidance on how to proceed. BTW, the user "repeater" has no privileges and unknown password ("allstarlink" does not work). Thanks Gary W5BI
Once loaded on the target computer Login: repeater Passsword: allstarlink SSH port: 22 User repeater has sudo (root) privileges (sudo -s) If you are trying to login via ssh you will also want to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Use vi editor Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config with the following Change: Port xxx ;new port number Change: #PermitRootLogin prohibit-password To: PermitRootLogin yes There may have been updates to the operating system and AllStarLink since this image was built. Run the following commands after the first time you boot. apt-get update apt-get upgrade -y reboot Used copy of apt_rpt *.conf files (at the # prompt run "asl-menu" to setup your node) If using RPi 3 with wifi, then execute wifi-setup at the command line prompt. _____ From: App_rpt-users [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@lists.allstarlink.org] On Behalf Of Gary Bonebrake Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2018 8:44 AM To: App_rpt-users@lists.allstarlink.org Subject: [App_rpt-users] Net Install Problem Greetings, After several years of successful Asterisk repeater operation using Centos (node 27610), I have decided to move into the 21st century and update to Debian/Allstar/Asterisk.

My first thoughts are to download again and start from scratch. What are you using to image your usb drive ? You seem to have only the OS installed. When it did not fully install, i doubt you will have the user name pass expected since that is most likely preformed in the asterisk install script? Could be a boot/grub issue? Review/clean your bios settings. I would try it all again and see if you get the same result as a minimum. I have never installed from usb but a dvd. So just my thoughts. ...mike/kb8jnm On 12/9/2018 11:43 AM, Gary Bonebrake wrote:
