Hi Crispyoz,

Thank you for responding. I really appreciate it.

Here is a snippet of what I tried.

First, you can see that the apcli0 is does not have the most RX bytes and TX bytes as suggested in the instructions.

Second, you can see in Step 4 when I tried to configure Samba an error message popped up that said permission denied.

Any advice?

Please & Thank You


Hi Onioneers,

Back in 2018 I purchased the Onion Omega 2+, but I have never done anything (i.e., project) successfully with it. I am a complete noob, with zero education or experience in this field. Moreover, trying to figure out how to use it has been anything but intuitive.

Then life gets in the way, and I am always overwhelmed, or have something going on. For years I told myself with things slow down I'll figure out how to use the onion. It has been 5 years since I purchased this thing; life continues to be hectic. As such, despite everything going on I am determined to give this another go, and build my own cloud.

https://docs.onion.io/omega2-project-book-vol1/network-file-server.html

Recently I am fired it back, up and it works. I can log in, and get to the home screen. I downloaded an app or two, but that’s it. I really want to create my own cloud (aka the Mobile Network File Server project found in Volume 1... is there a Volume 2?). Granted I have no idea how to use Samaba. I downloaded the Samba files hyperlinked under section titled ample configuration files, but I have no idea what to do now.

If someone knows of a step-by-step instructional video, please let me know. I’ve searched YouTube and Reddit. Have not found anything.

Thank you,

Thank you for responding I have moved past the issue.

I keep having this constant issue where when i try tried the first steps i couldnt even get the cloud trhough the router number or the omega-____.local website. Then I tried to use the puTTY program and it was wprking at frist then we tried it agin and now it freezes. I then got a popup message saying that the network connetction closed. Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi Onion Community,

Years ago I purchased Onion Omega 2+ (via Indiegogo), but I have tried to use it sporadically. I logged in a few times, successfully connected, but it has been a while (around 6+ mnths since my last successful attempt). A about two or three months ago I tried to use it again, but I cannot get connected to the wifi or login to the home page with all the apps and what-not.

I never changed the login information or wifi information, so it is all the same from the day I got it.

Can someone explain how I can reset it?

Thank you for your time.

I got my order yesterday (O2 + Arduino), but I discovered it needs a 3.3v cable.
Standard USBs are 5v and I don't want to short-circuit it.

Any recommendations?

Over these past couple of weeks I've had this sinking feeling in my stomach, but I tried to ignore it. O2 has so much potential, so why not give it the benefit of the doubt? However, when reading the various posts on the forum, and following the community (which Lustig is right, its amazing), I noticed O2 and ancillary products were riddled with flaws. Then, I noticed flaws kept coming, but solutions were sparse.

To add, I don't see Onion really jumping into gear to fix and maintain a smooth product. Granted, I realize they must be so busy right now, but I still think they should have anticipated getting very busy with orders as well as the need to provide tech support for the patrons with their orders.

Just the other day Onion sent me the tracking number for my order, so I'm sure I'll get my order soon. That said, this post (and its responses) kind of confirmed that sinking feeling in my stomach. Therefore, if my order lives up to its promise, then I'll let you (the community) know.

Hi Onioners,

I just got my tracking number for my order, so I'm stoked. That said, I saw Onion provided a written guide to setting up and running the Omega2. That said, I'm more of a monkey-see-monkey-do type of person.

If anyone has the time, and its not too much trouble, can you please upload a walk-through video on YouTube?
Anything would be nice: setting it up, setting in up with a particular board, step-by-step projects, anything.

I've been wanting to ask, but I've been a bit hesitant, but I saw Google's Teacher's Day shout out, so it gave me that extra push.

Again, I know there is documentation on the matter, but I work better by seeing and hearing (and then doing).

Thank you for giving me a few moments of your time.

Humbly,
Amalee
