Hi All, Have a very odd problem I hope you can help with. I’ve had a look across forum posts but can’t find anything quite like it. When I try and log in via a web browser using pi/emonp12016 I’m told username does not exist. However, when I try via SSH, I successfully log in. I’m at a bit of a…

When you say, ‘quite a while.’ How long is a while?

How long have you waited? Is this an emonPi?

I ran it overnight but it was still saying Booting after 9 hours. So, just in case I’d popped the SD card out of the slot before all the files had been written, I re-burned it and shut the computer down to force all the writes to happen. It’s been booting for 90 mins at the moment. Just about to …

[image] RichardOwen: I ran it overnight but it was still saying Booting after 9 hours. Yes it does seem to get stuck here. After that time, I’d suggest just a reboot will sort it out.

I downloaded this image: emonSD-10Nov22 (Stable) My EmonPi is from 2019. Don’t know if that information is relevant. Thought I’d post it in case it was. Thanks.

I have also tried booting it with and without the sensor cables attached. No difference.

That’s as expected, because all sensors feed into the “emon” ATMega 328P processor, not the Raspberry Pi. I recently wrote the same image (10 Nov 22) to a 32 GB SD card using Balena Etcher, it booted absolutely normally in a RPi 2B. Which tools did you use to write the image to your SD card?

WRT RasPi Imager vs Balena Etcher, this might be worth a read:
