The server contains the ARM64 version of Ubuntu Server, which should be installed on the RPI. The server is configured correctly, but I'm unable t...

Re: Unable to setup dphys-swapfile

You can empty both files by running "sudo truncate -s0 /var/log/syslog" and "sudo truncate -s0 /var/log/daemon.log" which should free up most of your card. You should keep an eye on both files to see why they're filling up though as that isn't normal. There might be something wrong with your OpenVP...

Run "sudo tail -f 50 /var/log/syslog" and "sudo tail -f /var/log/daemon.log" to see what the last 50 lines are. pi@node:~ $ sudo tail -f -n 5...

Re: Unable to setup dphys-swapfile

Looking at the guide, my guess is that /nfs has filled the rest of the space. Did you type the rsync command exactly? If not then it'll try to copy /nfs into /nfs. I haven't yet reached that step, because after disabling swap (step 5) updating the pi's firmware fails (step 6). Another possible issu...

Automated install of Raspberry Pi from server

I'm trying to create a preseeded Raspbian image on my server (Ubuntu server 19.10) and send it to my Raspberry Pi to install it. The issue I'm facing is that I'm unable to figure out how to create a preseeded image on my server. Can anyone explain to me how to do this?
