Creating Filesystems with Openmediavault (Solved)

[Emegra]

I double checked I edited the /etc/network/interfaces file and I did make a mistake I had dns-nameserver instead of dns-nameservers so I fixed that and rebooted but I'm having the same problems, there are quite a few error messages highlighted in red during boot mainly referring to NFS & Samba, I can't log in via ssh (no route to host) and it still wont update and it wont log in to the Web GUI.

The problem seems to be worse since we edited the /etc/network/interfaces file

OK, edit it back to:-

Code: [Select]

# The loopback network interface
auto lo

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.2.150
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.2.1
    dns-nameservers 192.168.2.1

SAVE the file, and then REBOOT.

now does:-

Code: [Select]

apt-get update

then

Code: [Select]

apt-get install firmware-atheros wpasupplicant

work ?

It's freezing on boot on line
Starting NFS common utilities: statd  (flashing cursor)

[Emegra]

Yes peppermint 3

[Emegra]

It has finally booted

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

Good .. do those commands work ?

[Emegra]

Looks like you've done it Mark it's updated and installed

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

Do you want to carry on and get wireless working tonight .. or tomorrow .. up to you as I'll be online for a couple of hours yet.

[Emegra]

Ok if you don't mind going on we'll try to get it working tonight


Thanks

OK

What's the output from:

Code: [Select]

ip link

?

does it mention wlan0 or wlan1 or similar ?

Screenshot attached

is the USB wireless adapter plugged in ? .. if so, unplug it .. wait 10 seconds and replug it .. then run:

Code: [Select]

ip link

now does it mention wlan0 or wlan1 or similar ?

[Emegra]

It mentions wlan0

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

OK, run:

Code: [Select]

nano /etc/network/interfaces

and make it read:-

Code: [Select]

# The loopback network interface
auto lo

# The primary network interface
# auto eth0
# allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.2.150
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.2.1
    dns-nameservers 192.168.2.1

# The wireless network interface
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
    address 192.168.2.151
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.2.1
    dns-nameservers 192.168.2.1

SAVE the file .. now reboot without the ethernet cable .. and see if you can log on using 192.168.2.151 wirelessly.

Be sure to comment out the

# auto eth0
# allow-hotplug eth0

lines
