Newbie needs help

Hi

I'm new to forum so hi to you all.

Just recently got myself a joggler a want to run like a squeeze box touch, my problem is Im having trouble accessing the ssh on it. Ive downloaded the link http://birdslikewires.co.uk/download/jo ... sshscp.zip to a correctly formatted USB stick I know this USB works as the joggler can read JPEGS from it and the joggler beeps twice when booting it up with the USB stick connected. Now I'm not up to speed with using telnet putty etc so it could be something silly Im not doing but this is what happens:

1. I plug the USB stick which has the 'Easy Way' ssh script downloaded to it into the joggle turn it on and beeps twice when at the home page
2. Open PuTTY and enter my ip address 192.168.0.7
3. This opens a dos like box and asks me to login so I type joggler and hit return
4. It then asks me for a password which is joggler but I cant type a thing the only that works is return.

Now Im not sure if im reading the installation instructions correctly on how to access the ssh here: http://www.jogglerwiki.com/wiki/Ssh or its something else.

Would really appreciate some help as Ive tried this lots of times and dont seem to be getting anywhere

Many Thanks

Mike

Your password will be working when you enter it. Nothing will display in the terminal window as you type the password (security and all that), but if you type it correctly and hit the enter key you will have access to your Joggler.

Check that the Joggler IP address is correct before trying to connect with SSH (under Tools > Network on the Joggler stock OS). If you have DHCP enabled on your router the Joggler might have a different IP address on reboot.

ah right ok Ill give that a try tonight. Yes I am using the correct IP address for the joggler as check each time as i do have DHCP enabled on my router.

So after typing the password and hitting return what should I expect to see in the terminal window

Thanks for your reply

just to add what if the suggestions above doesnt work as I have a sneaky suspition that i have tried that and it says invalid password, just wondered if there is anything else I need to do

Thanks

You should just be back at a command prompt. If you haven't typed the password correctly you will see an error message.

Once at the prompt, type the command you want to run (one line at a time followed by the "enter" key each time is usually the safest). After each line of code has run successfully you will be returned to the command prompt again to enter the next line (or see an error message if the command is incorrect).

thanks gegs Ill try all that tonight fingers crossed it works

I installed it using Plug'n'Pimp and the default username is "letmeinssh" and the password is "joggler1234". The method you mention does have "joggler" as u/name and p/w but if you are receiving an "invalid password" message, you will be using the wrong password or it hasn't set correctly. PW is case-sensitive and you can change it using the method on the "Enabling SSH and SCP - New Easy Method" page http://bit.ly/z8OWBp

another question when I log in do i just type 'joggler' or do I type 'ssh joggler@ (then my ip address)', is there a 'space' after the @ or all one continuous text. What is the the plug'n'pimp method

Thanks

If you're using PuTTY, you just use the dialogue boxes that appear (ie. enter the IP in the box, hit OK, username 'joggler', password 'joggler'), If you're using a Terminal application, and let's pretend the IP is 192.168.1.1, you would type:

Code: Select all

ssh joggler@192.168.1.1

You will then be asked for a password, which again is 'joggler', which will not be displayed as you type. You should land at a command prompt.

What is the the plug'n'pimp method

PnP is a script which combines numerous installers together. It's no longer updated, but it can still be pretty useful to get things onto your Joggler quickly. It uses the older method of enabling SSH access to the Joggler, so you don't get secure file copy by default and the username and password is different.

Thanks roobarb! I was in the middle of drafting a response but got called away. You've saved me the bother.

djmike - I made a recent post on the "Is Plug'n'Pimp a dead duck?" thread http://bit.ly/wH7rdx - 3rd post in the thread.
Plug'n'Pimp is no longer updated but there are still some useful tools on it.

Thanks guys for your informative responses, I'll let you know how I get on

Thanks again
