Re: Ubuntu Server on HDD

It looks like cmdline.txt needs to be edited to point to the USB drive (/etc/fstab seems to be using labels, so that's probably okay). net.ifnames=0 dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait Change the root=/dev/mmcblk0p2...

Re: Ubuntu Server on HDD

Looking at the images https://www.ubuntu.com/download/iot/raspberry-pi-2-3 it only mentions 2 and 3 - no 3B+ Firmware and drivers changed at 3B+ so could that be the reason? It is just a Pi3B, not a plus model. I have found some instructions here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi#Ubuntu_arm6...

Re: Ubuntu Server on HDD

Hey Matt Penfold Is your HDD connected to Pi via USB?. If it is you can't boot unless you enable usb booting on it. Did you properly flash Ubuntu to HDD ? Try setting the boot bit https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bootmodes/msd.md Yes, the boot bit is set, and I have ha...

Re: Ubuntu Server on HDD

Is your Pi capable of booting from a HDD? To get it up and running you could try creating an SD card (FAT32 format) just with bootcode.bin only on it and boot from that with the HDD connected. That may be easier than swapping the HDD between machines to edit files :lol: Yes, it will boot from the H...

Ubuntu Server on HDD

It is great to see an official ARM64 Ubuntu Server release. I have no problems getting it working using an SD card, but it fails when I install the image to an HDD (It tries to boot from an SD card, and of course, there isn't one!). Does anyone have some pointers as to how I can get it booting from ...

Re: Looking for a web control panel for Pi 3

What web server are you using? If it is Apache you can use Webmin. Webmin allows you to configure various servers using a web interface. Apache is one of those officially supported (along with others like Samba, Postfix, Dovecot......). There is an unofficial plugin to support Nginx, but I have not ...

USB Booting with 2 USB drives

I am getting my Pi3 to boot Raspbian Stretch OK when I have just one USB drive (an SSD) connected. When I connect a second USB drive it no longer boots, and I think this is because the Pi is trying to boot from the second drive, rather than the SSD. Is there a way to have two USB drivers attacked an...

Re: Openvpn client and server failure

Have you ensured that the port you are using for VPN is open on the network you have your Pi connected to? By default it is 1194, and normally you need to ensure that port is being forwarded to your PI box by the router.
