Hi,

My OMV is up and running on my raspberry Pi 3B+. Everything seems to be working quite well except one thing. I can't get shellinabox to install/run. When I try, I get this error: 'omv_config_add_element' is deprecated.'

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Thanks. Since I already have the n4310 (which is a really flakey NAS product) I thought it might save some money compared to buying two powered USB to SATA connections for the 2 disks I was originally going to attach to my Pi 3 b+. Guess I'll scrap that idea. Appreciate the feedback.

Understood. For whatever reason, mine seems to be a very unique issue. Only experienced by one or two others. It took a lot of trial and error, with the help of a couple of really helpful guys on this forum to get it up and running. You obviously know way more than me. I'm very new to the Pi/OMV world so I'm just learning. I'm sure you're right. Was just trying to share what worked in case anyone else came across this.

If so, which version of OMV? I'm having a hard time figuring out which processor the n4310 has and associated OMV build I should use if I can do this.

My network is just fine. Everything else works without issue. The entire point of this exercise was to fix DHCP on OMV using a 3 b+. For what it's worth, I'm not the only one that had this issue. It is very rare but it has happened before for others.

Because DHCP doesn'y work at that point.

Recently I purchased a Raspberry Pi 3 b+ to act as my home NAS. I ran into a repeatable set of errors when trying to set up. Namely, I could not connect to the Web GUI and I Couldn't log in with SSH. Hopefully the following will be of some use to other people going through the same issues. This was all done using a macbook pro

Required:

Raspberry Pi 3 b+ with 32 GB SD card
Keyboard for Pi (connected wirelessly through USB attached dongle)
Attached monitor (I used my TV with an HDMI cable) - you'll need to use this because ssh doesn't work initially.
latest version of OVM4 for Pi 3 b+
Etcher

Steps to Repair

Get image from https://sourceforge.net/projec…/Raspberry%20Pi%20images/

Download and install Etcher

Use etcher on your mac or pc to burn the image onto the SD card

Connect Pi to network using ethernet cable.

Connect Pi to monitor/TV via HDMI

Connect keyboard to Pi

Insert the SD card into the Pi and boot. This can take quite a while. It may also reboot. Don't power off during this process!

After boot is complete, log in as root using CLI (Command Line Interface) using attached keyboard. SSH does not work at this point.

login: root
password: openmediavault

You should be forced to change your password at this point. Record it, you'll need it from this point forward.

ping your router ie ping 192.168.xxx.xxx to make sure your network is functioning.

Enter the following:

• nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
• change PermitRootLogin to yes
• Save and exit
  
• systemctl restart sshd

Enter the following:

• xmlstarlet ed -L -u "/config/services/ssh/enable" -v "1" /etc/openmediavault/config.xml
• xmlstarlet ed -L -u "/config/services/ssh/permitrootlogin" -v "1" /etc/openmediavault/config.xml
• /usr/sbin/omv-mkconf ssh

your should now be able to log into your pi using ssh from another computer (or putty if you are using a pc/laptop)

ssh 192.168.xxx.xxx

login: root

password: YourNewPassword

Enter the following:

omv-firstaid

select option 1 and just hit enter for the options already selected.

Enter the following:

omv-firstaid

select option 2 and just hit enter for the options already selected

Enter the following:

shutdown -r now

Wait for pi to reboot then log in.

Login as root again

Enter the following:

apt upgrade



apt update

You should not be able to use a browser on another computer to access your pi via the Web Gui.

Open a browser on a computer connected to the same network as your pi.

Enter the IP address of your pi in the browser.

You should now see a blue screen with a login prompt.

Login details are:

Login: admin
Password: openmediavault

Change your admin password immediately!

Everything should now be working.

I think I've got the order of this straight but I may have one or two things out of sequence. I wasn't documenting things as I tried to figure it out.

HTH!

Thanks! I will have a look.

Yep, I'm going to tomorrow morning. I need to piece all the parts together so it makes sense.

Here's the error:

Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C; mount -v --source '/dev/disk/by-label/NTFS_WIN' 2>&1' with exit code '21': modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:586 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.9.80-v7+/modules.dep.bin'modprobe: FATAL: Module fuse not found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.80-v7+ntfs-3g-mount: fuse device is missing, try 'modprobe fuse' as root

System is raspberry pi 3 b+

After a lot of blood sweat and tears, and the help of two great guys in this forum, I was able to get OMV for installed. It wasn't straightforward. Issues with DHCP and access to the Web GUI.

I know have new issues when trying to mount a usb connected disk and also enabling NFS (will post the latter seperately).

Can someone help me with the error above? Happens when I try to mount and NTFS disk attached via USB.

Thanks!

Because I'm a newbie and do silly things like this

Great news. ssh started working after your last suggestion. What would you like me to post?

Just for the sake of clarity. Image was burned in a macbook pro. Use SD Card Formatter to format the SD card. Then Used etcher to burn the image to the card.

Really appreciate your help so far. Will start with a fresh image as you suggest. Will be the 6th or 7th time I've tried that.

I changed the root password to something simple to make sure it wasn't a character messaging issue. I still get the same response when trying ssh: "Permission denied, please try again."

Well, it's the one you changed before when you logged in locally. In case you don't remember you can edit it on another machine (/etc/shadow) but in such a situation I would better start from scratch, do not run omv-first-aid but only activating root login via ssh and provide the requested information.

Update. With the change you suggested, I was able to get as far as the login prompt. But it doesn't like my password for root.

I am using the same password. I know it works because when I type this password to log in as root in the CLI, I have no problem logging in locally.It hasn't changed. This has been part of the problem form the beginning.

Can't ssh either I'm afraid. No problem with the nano stuff. I can use nano but nothing network related is functioning.

Yeah, silly me should've thought a bit more. In case you're somewhat familiar with editing files via CLI:

Code

nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
systemctl restart sshd

And in sshd_config change PermitRootLogin no to PermitRootLogin yes. Then please provide output via an SSH session.

So you got a local root shell with display/keyboard connected. Great.

Can you please provide output from

Code

dig google.com
armbianmonitor -U

(uploaded to pastebin.com for example since too large to be pasted here)

Hi tkaiser. I don't think I can. No network connectivity on the Pi so can't share/txfer anything. What ouput do you need? I can probably share manually if not too long.

Got what you meant. SF = Source Forge. Yes, see above.
