P.S.: Thanks to having fixed the softcam automatic starts, but SSH and impossible to change password bugs are still there.

hmm, seems that's just your 'local' issue /?/,
both ssh and passwd work (and always worked) fine here on 3.0...
(although on vuduo, but don't think it's 'box specific'; moreover, no /?/ other etxx user reported such bugs)

"GRAB SCREENSHOT" is not showing screenshot.jpg on web-browser although its stored in the /tmp/ folder ...

[littlesat]

In openpli /tmp is forwarded to /var/volatile/tmp... probably this is different in openpli3.0...so the file could not be found???

@blzr,

About passwd bug, I have defined a default password the first time it is set and it is working then I upgrade the image several time. Now if I try to change it again it no longer works.

root@ET-SALON:~# passwd
Changing password for root
Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters)
Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
New password:
Re-enter new password:
passwd: password changed.

It states the the password is properly changed, logoff/login again new password doesn't work, fortunatelly the old one is still the one.
So passwd states that it is working but it is not.

 ls -Fal /etc/passwd
-rw-r--r--    1 root	 root		   904 Jan  1  1970 /etc/passwd

ls -Fal /etc/shadow
-r--------    1 root	 root		   574 Jul  4 14:09 /etc/shadow

I chmod 644 the file /etc/shadow and try to use passwd, same problem.

About SSH I just discover that in fact the problem is that the passwd command is changing the password for SSH access only!
So when connecting with root in SSH I need to use the new password... when connecting from telnet I need to use the old password.

So my root gets now 2 differents password, one for telnet and another one for SSH.

Any hint to fix this strange behavior?

Probably ssh is using /etc/shadow, telnet is using /etc/passwd (or the other way around)

if you change the password, does it end up in /etc/shadow, or in /etc/passwd?
You should not change the /etc/shadow rights, if the rights are too loose, the system might refuse to use it.

[littlesat]

With 3.0 and autorestore/install I can login via telnet via the box with the usual password... but not with ssh.... For ssh I login with telnet and change the password again with passwd... then ssh is fine again. I do not know if this is shadow related... it is just my observation....

Hi,

The date of /etc/passwd doesn't change while the one from /etc/shadow did.

I do:

mv /etc/passwd /etc/passwd.bak

And now I unable to connect with telnet (no login prompt) so telnet probably use the file: /etc/passwd

So problem is: why the passwd command doesn't update the /etc/passwd file but only update /etc/shadow file.

I try to replace the file passwd with the passwd- so I retrieve a system without any password for root.
I try again passwd command, no luck password is not set into /etc/passwd

Since I was already able to set a password with passwd and Openpli 3.0 this is probably a bug coming for a recent release.

@littlesat

Please try to change your password with something totally new.
I guess that you will be able to connect via telnet with the old password and with SSH with the new password.
Can you please try this and confirm it?
Can I also ask you on which hardware you try it?

Thanks,

Pr2

[pieterg]

mv /etc/passwd /etc/passwd.bak

you should not do that, as passwd is still needed, even if passwords are shadowed.

So problem is: why the passwd command doesn't update the /etc/passwd file but only update /etc/shadow file.

that's the point, when using shadowed passwords.

Hi,

Of course I mv the passwd file just to perform a test, I place it back now. :-)

I have been trying to mount the HDD so that the recording; timeshift and EPG be possible(ET6000).
I have tried many internal or external way through FTP(DCC-E2)..it is not possible to changes HDD basic directories or recording paths...On the HDD it is not possible to remove "usb" or add new directory without "USB"...same thing in the recording paths: not possible to change it with "USB"...
On the HDD it is only possible to add repertories but the path is allways through /media/usb/
Is it a bug, I don't know??

I moved your post from the Dutch to the english section. Please try to post in the right section.

[guirigui]

Thanks to Pr2, I could fix the recording path problem....

Honestly, presently, I guess there is room for improvment in the USB HDD recording/timeshift and EPG location in the ET6000 image...

By the way, the USB HDD initialisation process seems OK now althought there is an error message at the end almost entirely masked by a black square....it is thus difficult to read it...

Hi !

I did a clean install on my vuplus ultimo (pli3.0) and now there are problems with hdd and usb stick.

Can't see usb stick in mediaplayer, if you unplug usb and plug it in again then you see it again, But if you resatart the box it is gone again.

Probably install the firmware and driver for you wlan.

(Xtrend and VU+ work out of the box and dreambox you need to install manual)
