Can't setup with Linux
-
Hi
I can't seem to setup my Onion.
Im using linux ubuntu and when im plugged in with a good cable (led stops blinking) there is no access point showing up.
I would like to use the gui but i tried the Terminal too. I read on some other thread that there may be a mixup with OSX setup commands and Linux. Is this possible?
I installed "Screen" and when i run Step 5, i get [Screen is terminating].Could somebody help? Thank you!
-
Hi @marc-rozender, what command did you use to connect to the serial terminal on Linux?
-
Hi Boken
I used just like it says in the setup page :
screen /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART 115200
-
Hi @marc-rozender, yeah, on Linux you should use
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
to connect to the serial terminal.
-
Hi Boken
I tried that and all i get is a fully blank terminal.

@marc-rozender have you tried pressing enter to activate the terminal?
If you have, then let's make sure that the Omega is actually being mapped to
/dev/ttyUSB0
Can you unplug your Omega and runls /dev/tty*
And then plug it in and runls /dev/tty*
again and post the output?Edit: Also, I've fixed the typo in Step 4 of the Connecting with Serial in Linux guide

Hi Lazar looks like its being mapped....
Here is the output unplugged:

@marc-rozender hmm and you've tried pressing Enter and it does nothing?
Have you been able to connect with SSH?
-
Yes, the terminal screen just goes blank. I tried PuTTY SSH but no luck.
I finally found the access point by setting up a hidden network. Its Omega-132D.
I can then go to the setup wizard page on the browser but then everything is greyed out and i can't do anything. The "login to Omega" doesnt go green either by itself or by clicking on it.
-
@marc-rozender can you try using Chrome or Opera for the Setup Wizard? There's a bug that shows up when using Firefox, Safari, or IE.
Once you go through the setup wizard, lets try connecting through SSH again.

I played a long time around after i got my two onions today. Unfortunately i also not was able to connect with the USB Cable in Linux. I do work with the Debian based LinuxMint.
I could not figure out how to map the /dev/ttyUSB0. I had everything else but never saw this ttyUSB0. Just had a lot of ttyS*. Finaly i gave up and tried with Windows10 in a VirtualBox. So i could finally connect with the USB Cable.I was wondering that I never saw my own wireless. Always appeared everything else just never my own wifi i have at home. In the end I found out, that i optimized my wlan and did put a ID over 10 (13 in my case). Then the Onion never saw mine. Just wifi with ID equal 1. When i changed my ID back to one, i just saw it and could finally connect and Update.

@Luciano-S I recently switched to a Linux-based computer as my MacBook is experiencing some issues. I found that for some distributions, you might need to use
sudo
to runscreen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
command. If you get a chance, please give this a try to see if it will allow you to successfully connect to the Omega via serial terminal.Cheers!

@Boken-Lin , i made the test .. i had to plug in in a certan USB Slot. My computer has about eight with the 2 USB3 ports. I found it now and i got also displayed /dev/ttyUSB0.
Then i connected without sudo ... and it works.
