Accidentally locked up my Pogoplug

[StephenA]

Hi, Linux noob here. I've got a Pogoplug E-02 with Archlinux on it running Samba and Shairport... Which is all fine and dandy except I've made a horrible mistake.

During the installation of my WLAN adapter the command for "wifi-menu" repeatedly failed to produce results. Coming from a Windows background I did the only logical thing - I rebooted the pogoplug. Now my pet project won't connect through Ethernet and - with no WLAN profile - will not connect wirelessly.

I'm waiting for a TTL cable to arrive so I can log into console through serial. Is there anything I can do in the meantime or is this project "trapped under ice" until the cable arrives?

With all those wlan0 profiles, or not, the wont come up on boot without
systemctl enable netctl-auto@wlan0
Did you systemctl disable anything? Eth0 should have been unaffected.
Suggest you get live Linux and e2fsck that drive.
Remember to sync before poweroff and reboot commands

I just discovered that I could SSH in if I removed all of the drives and used root/ceadmin. In the process of starting from scratch... just happy that my project is once again making progress

Regarding "wifi-menu" not working, is there a solution to keep in mind if I face it again? If I understand you correctly you're suggesting that I mount the drive on another machine and try to fix it up? This could be an option if I face this problem again.

Yes, do that
When you get running again reinstall netctl to see what optional dependencies there are, and if their installed
