Tim,

Start over and try the following burning the image onto your mirco sd card again.

Then install the micro sd into the Pi and boot.

Do the following.

Login: repeater

Passsword: allstarlink

User repeater has sudo privileges (sudo -s)

Note: You really do not need to login at user ROOT or even setup with user ROOT.

There have been updates to the operating system since this image was built.

Run the following commands after the first time you boot.

sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-kernel-headers raspberrypi-kernel

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade -y

sudo reboot

at the # prompt run “asl-menu” to setup your node.

Read this on the wiki all the way to the end it has directions to walk you through setting up your node with screen shots.

> Hi Marshall; sorry to be a pain…
> 
> The image is from the ASL web site - downloads fine, unzips fine, burns onto the SD fine, appears to run fine in the Pi, just won’t progress beyond login as repeater/access denied.
> 
> I can log in as root, and I get the auto update process happening, and end up at a root login prompt, but I can’t get to the ASL setup cli from root as it wants to be user repeater. It’ll try to switch user to repeater, but fails on the repeater default password.

> Hello Group;
> 
> New user here.
> 
> I have just burnt the ASL image onto the SD card, loaded it into the Pi, and booted up - all as per instructions.
> 
> I try to log in to the Pi as “repeater” using the initial login password of “allstarlink” as found in the first time set-up instructions.
> 
> I then get “access denied”. I have tried multiple times, and done multiple image burns, to no avail.
> 
> Can anyone assist me to get past this stumbling block so I can get to the set up menu?
> 
> Many thanks - Tim.
