Net Install Problem

W5BI · December 9, 2018, 4:43pm

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

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.

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.

The default username is: repeater the password is: allstarlink at the prompt type. sudo asl-menu This will load the menu which will guide you through the setup process of your node.
