Pogoplug v2 Root acount borken

Postby ericdkirk » Sat Aug 22, 2015 8:04 pm

Ok so i recently rebuilt my pogoplug following the official directions http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgray and then added lots of stuff webmin/transmission/pytivo/plex/samba all following this http://blog.qnology.com/2013/03/tutorial-pogoplug-e02-with-arch-linux.html
Then I started getting things moved over the the pogo plug, I had some problems when getting python to run pytivo, I think I ran $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Syu linux-firmware')
and it did not seem to effect anything at the time. But now I can not login to the root account, I had not changed the password from root but still could not login. I had webmin up and running and could log in to that with root/root and from there I tried to change root password and it never took, the hash would change after I changed it and even be the same after a reboot, but I could never get SSH to accept root account. So I used webmin to make a new account and eventuially went in to the sudo list and added that user so I would have sudo root. Even from SSH with the sudo root I can not get the root password to work.
With all that done I decided to give up and start over again... So I unplug the flash drive and rebooted to stock, but stock would never come up. So now I that is where I am I thought my uboot was broken and put the arch flash back in and loged in a my user sudo root and then tried to reinstall the uboot from http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgray but the uboot from there will not install, is that cause I am in arch and not stock? Do i have to dump the http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz back on the flash drive now from a linux box to get this to work? Also I think I understand that the uboot no long lets us boot into stock and we need to replace stock with a rescue rom http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=8383 but this requires you to mess with the uboot, how do I confirm that my uboot is not screwed up?

Ssh doesn't allow root logins anymore by default. Please read announcements. viewtopic.php?f=57&t=9158#p48033

And I had a hard time understanding the rest of the story. Did you or did you not flash uboot from the official installation instructions? To verify if it works without serial you need to have a working rootfs, so yes you need to use another linux box to recreate a bootable media.
