Reach won't boot

[bide]

I see @andrew.yushkevich replied as I was writing this up:

on your Ubuntu command line, first type this:
tail -f /var/log/syslog | tee my_ubuntu_system_log-ReachUSB.txt

then plug in Reach and let it boot up

hit CNTRL-C to cancel the above command

then upload the file created or paste the text here

[mwfoshee (Mike Foshee)]

I finally got the Green light on, not sure how. I was attempting to re flash on windows, waited to boot the reach until the windows program began searching for it. Don’t know why it worked the last time, I had tried the same thing a seemed like a hundred times before. Lucky timing on my part I guess.

I got what I was looking for today, (My first RTN fix with one reach set up as base at my office and the reach I’ve been having trouble with as a rover getting corrections over NTRIP. worked great!

Going to start back trying to ssh into the reach unit again now, I just want to know what I’m doing wrong. Heres the output you requested. ( sorry, I couldn’t locate the file my /var/log didn’t have a folder syslog)

mwfoshee@mwfoshee-Inspiron-3521:~$
to this:
root@reach[~]#

now you have ssh’d in to Reach. You may proceed with the commands mentioned above:

@bide

Start with these commands to get some info:

ifconfig iwconfig cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

If iwconfig shows you are in Master mode, that means Reach has created a hotspot, if it shows Client mode, then it should be connected to your Wi-Fi network. If in client mode and not connected to your Wi-Fi network, try: iwlist wlan0 scanning to see what networks are available.

Type exit when you want to exit Putty close your ssh session with Reach.

You’re gonna hate me, I first got an error: no such device (unfortunately even at 54 years old I can’t help but fool with stuff)

re ran command to generate log file: this time output was:
May 2 20:45:21 mwfoshee-Inspiron-3521 kernel: [ 2588.200633] rndis_host 3-1:1.0 usb0: register ‘rndis_host’ at usb-0000:00:14.0-1, RNDIS device, ca:39:81:3e:78:a8

May 2 20:45:21 mwfoshee-Inspiron-3521 kernel: [ 2588.235721] rndis_host 3-1:1.0 enp0s20u1: renamed from usb0

so I changed your original command to reflect enp0s20u1 as opposed to the original enp0s20u2

Error this time:

mwfoshee@mwfoshee-Inspiron-3521:~$ ifconfig enp0s20u1 up 192.168.2.2
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
SIOCSIFADDR: Operation not permitted
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted

Waiting patiently for instruction.

possible solution from google “sudo service networking restart”

sorry, you told me to use sudo, I thought once I used it I didn’t have to continue using it. Thanks, I’m connected!

The bonus now is that simultaneously, you can:

• use ReachView and change wireless settings with your smartphone
• ditto with your computer (in case you loose the wireless connection)
• troubleshoot the wireless connection with the command line

Now you are in a position to really find out what goes on under the hood!
