Alarm reinstallation on Pogoplug e02, Take 2

Postby sjwoo » Sun May 07, 2017 12:38 am

I have a spare Pogo that I'd set up for Arch like 4 years ago. I wanted to use it but knew that updating it would be a lost cause because it was so old. So I tried following the instructions here:

viewtopic.php?f=58&t=10439

I don't know if it's because the instructions are out of date or what, but I couldn't quite get everything to work. Here's what I did after the "Create the ext3 filesystem:" part to get it going.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdX
# I couldn't mount unless I formatted it in ext3

mkdir /alarm
mount /dev/sdXN /alarm
# notice the N -- if your drive is dev/sdd, then you'll need
# to specify the number you see when you run lsblk, most likely sdd1.

cd /alarm
wget http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz
tar -xzvf ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz
# ignore all the "Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.fflags'" messages.
# bsdtar didn't work because it has to be version 3.3.1 and I
# couldn't figure out how to get that version via wget.
cd ..
umount alarm')

I can't log in via root/root, but I can log in with alarm/alarm and use su with the password of 'root'. Updating the root password never worked, I'm not sure why, and I seem to have trouble creating new users. If anybody wants to chime in, I'd be grateful!

They changed the security rules, logging in as root over SSH is forbidden. su is the only way to do it.
