Meteohub not yet reachable

Post by stein42 »

Dear all

I have an issue.
Since few days I can't connect to my meteohub which is installed on NSLU2 whereas the server is OK (my curves plotted are always updated)

Before it was configurated with 192.168.1.77 IP and it was OK.
But now there's nothing on it.

I have checked my internal network and apparently IP 192.168.1.13 corresponds now to meteohub.
But again in my browzer I have nothing @ this IP

I noticed that few days ago I had electrical swith-off and I have been obliged to manually restart NSLU

Do you have an idea ?

Thanks by advance for your help

If it does not signal the IP with the buzzer after boot, the USB stick ist most propably damaged.
You might need to setup a new USB stick.

Again today I had a small electrical swith-off and I had to start again manually NSLU2 server.
It works well, curves are uploaded on my website but again I can't reach it via 192.168.1.77 or 192.168.1.13 (IP viewed bi internet box).
I really don't understand...

I didn't noticed how many bips I had during boot (it was before I read your message) but I can try a reboot and check.

What is the translation of bips code during boot ?

Beep reading is explained in the manual in one of the appendixes (IP signaling).

OK I checked yesterday and IP is confirmed : 192.168.1.13

In my browser I didn't reach anything @ this IP adress and I really don't understand the matter.
All is OK except this.

Do you have an idea ?

Looks pretty much like an USB stick probem. Most problems on NSLU2 Meteohubs do have the root couse in a USB stick that has gone faulty after a couple of years.

Only way to solve this, is to setup a new stick as explained in the manual.
Can you still reach the Meteohub-network share (user meteohub, pw meteohub) to save data in "weather" and "graph" folders to your PC?

try setting up a new USB stick.
When you have a second linux system, you might be able to read out the weather data of the old stick,
which reside on thrid partition, ext3, folders "weather" and "graphs".

I removed the old one and I am now trying to install a new time meteohub.

Do I have to flash again NSLU2 ?
I am trying but upslug2 can't find NSLU2 :

Code: Select all

chou@vostro:~$ sudo upslug2
[no NSLU2 machines found in upgrade mode]
Whereas I am in upgrade mode (red and green light alternating).

Thanks by advance for your answer

Some advices could really be useful to me...
