Re: Debian bookworm (12) image 1.0 released for B3

"So long, and thanks for all the fish..." After an intensive effort to get my B3 to boot from the rescue image, I gave up. I walked into Webhallen and bought a Raspberry Pi 4. The tinkering and troubleshooting I enjoyed years ago has been replaced with a "I just want it to work !"...

Re: Debian bookworm (12) image 1.0 released for B3

Thanks ! Yeah...I am not having much luck tonight, I even found an old USB stick with the Stretch rescue image I had used before, but no luck in getting it to boot into rescue.

I will try again tomorrow. But thanks for your support !

Re: Debian bookworm (12) image 1.0 released for B3

..also, just to check, your rescue USB doesn't automatically reformat and re-install the B3 ? I just want to get in there to see what has gone wrong.

Re: Debian bookworm (12) image 1.0 released for B3

I just performed the upgrade as listed at the top of the page. My previous B3 install was pretty much vanilla, so I am not sure why it failed. I will look into the rescue option, but currently rebuilding my VPN's on a spare server, I will get to it. ;-) [EDIT] And as the VPN throughput is so much po...

Re: Debian bookworm (12) image 1.0 released for B3

It's killed my B3, it won't reboot... :( Stays at the purple light, although lots of disk activity beforehand whilst attempting to boot.

Any ideas ? As much as I love my ancient B3, I am not sure how much energy I have to try and fix it....

It's pingable, but I am not able to ssh into it....

Re: Debian bullseye (11) image 1.0 released for B3

Just to say thanks again! The inclusion of the wireguard modules in the kernel has really helped me out and I can retire a raspberry pi which was acting as my VPN server. I have learnt so much about Linux and networking thanks to my B3, thanks for all your efforts Gordon and MouettE to keep this 10+...

Re: Debian bullseye (11) image 1.0 released for B3

Noticed a new bubba3-kernal was just uploaded, anyone know what it contains/changed ? Update: AHA ! Just checked that github link and understand that wireguard support was added. This is really useful as I recently needed to use a RaspberryPi to act as a wireguard server to my summer house, I much p...

Re: Can't SSH into B3

Thankyou !

I got lucky and remembered I was running a desktop on it and was able to login via VNC and correct my sshd_config.

But a lesson learnt for next time I try to mess with SSH configurations without truly knowing what I am doing.

Can't SSH into B3

I messed up whilst trying to configure my B3 to allow SSH logins via certificates. End result, I can no longer SSH into my B3, I get "Permission denied (publickey)." I know what I did wrong in the ssh_config settings, but can anyone think of a way I can access that file without being able ...

Re: Bubba B1 failure mode

Thanks ! I agree, it sounds like power supply issues, although I measured them and found the correct 5V/12V supplies, but it doesn't mean they can supply them under load and the correct current. The replacement drive was 10+ years old, but worked when I last used it, which means little. But I have s...

Bubba B1 failure mode

Sorry for placing this in the B2/B3 support channel, but I don't think the B1 channel is still monitored. I first bought a Bubba B1 in 2007, it provided good, but slow, service until 2011 when it died, just as the B3 was released. So it went in a box where it stayed until now. The failure mode was n...

Re: B4 =]

I have many RaspberryPI's running around the place, but I still find my ancient B3 feels quicker for some tasks. For example, I have an X server running on my B3 and it runs so much faster than the X server on my RPI's. Not that I can use it for anything useful, but my B3 is still great for experime...

Re: Debian bullseye (11) image 1.0 released for B3

Thanks Charles ! The upgrade went fine for me. I had a few issues with Apache2/PHP/Wordpress after the upgrade, but removing them and re-installing solved my issues. (Directory permissions on the wordpress directory /var/www/html/wordpress had me struggling for a while) Thanks again for all your wor...
