[Solved] problems!!

[rndm]

Hi,

I'm using Dietpi for Nextcloud and tried to add my USB HDD.
After the last reboot i have the problem, that the globals are missing and i can not connect through ssh.

I can download the Repair Files and unpack it, but the Rest of it doesn't work:

rm update.zip (file or directory missing)
cp -Rf /tmp/DietPi-master/rootfs/. / (missing,too)
sync
rm -R /tmp/DietPi-master
chmod -R +x /DietPi /etc/cron.*/dietpi /var/lib/dietpi/services
systemctl daemon-reload

I'm not a linux user, but i tried my best that everything is running. That was the first damn mistake after the cloud was running perfectly. I just wanted to add some more space.

Any help before i reinstall the complete system from the beginning?

to get SSH back running, you could try to reinstall dropbear SSH server. I assume it was the SSH server used as it's the default one.

Code: Select all

dietpi-software reinstall 104

But it might be better to start with a clean installation as we don't know what else is missing from the system.

@rndm
Most likely the files are not missing, but DietPi-RAMdisk didn't start successfully. Could you please paste the result of those commands:

Code: Select all

journalctl -u boot.mount
journalctl -u DietPi.mount
journalctl -u dietpi-ramdisk
cat /var/tmp/dietpi/logs/dietpi-ramdisk.log

If you attached a USB HDD, is it a desktop PC or an SBC (like RPi) you tried this on? In case of SBC, please note that external drives MUST have a dedicated power supply, else under-voltage will happen earlier or later, crashing the system, leading to SDcard corruption in cases.
