'Analog Dinosaur' succumbs to the joys of FBA : enter Raspberry Pi 2/IQ-Audio DAC+!!

Hi Jo,

See post #605, here, if it helps (although that is largely for Mac users: http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...794#post635794

However, if you can't manually type in the required text/code, copy and paste it from your screen into the Volumio terminal instead, and that should work

Hi Marco,

sorry dude... not quite getting that.

This code? 'ssh root@volumio.local'

Where do I paste it in to? I can't see any window in volumio where I can type code.

[Marco]

The code in Putty you said you had no problem logging in with last night:

I am now however wanting to check alsamixer but putty is hanging on the password part after the login. Does anyone know why this is? I logged on to it last night with no problem using:

login - root
password - volumio

Rather than trying to manually type in the words "root" and "volumio", copy them from the screen instead and paste them into the appropriate places in Putty (when you gain access to the terminal), and hit the return key.

I sometimes have that problem myself, and get round it by copying and pasting, instead of typing in what's required, manually.

Marco.

yep, tried that... no dice.

It won't let me paste anything in...

It will let me type 'root' fine,

...then waits a few seconds and comes up with
root@192.168.1.2's password: !!!(I can't type anything at this point, it just hangs then comes up the the error message)
Worked fine last night... wtf?

[Marco]

Ah, in that case, I can't help. Maybe try coming out of Putty and going back in again (or rebooting your computer), and see if that clears the problem?

Hi Marco,

That command is to connect to your RPi using SSH to login as the root user from a MAC or Linux machine, and, of course, assumes you have a network connection to your RPi. On Windows you have to use Putty, as you are.

I am now however wanting to check alsamixer but putty is hanging on the password part after the login. Does anyone know why this is? I logged on to it last night with no problem using:

login - root
password - volumio

Now it wont let me type the password in, just hangs and then times out saying 'Sever unexpectedly closed network connection'

any ideas?

Have you lost your internet connection to your RPi? Can you still access the Volumio Web interface in a browser? Use the "ping" command at the Windows cmd prompt to check you still have a network connection to RPi.

Hi Chris.

Yep, it's connected via Volumio and working fine. It's pinging fine too, nothing lost.

Still hangs on typing the password.

I will try the wired connection, see if it has anything to do with the wireless connection.

Fully up and running here. Sound very detailed and natural. More later.

Apparently my IQ dac and case has been despatched so maybe I'll get it running this weekend.

I turned everything off in the Services management menu this morning... but no luck
