I upgraded from the command line on emmc using update / upgrade and was rewarded with a splash screen i cant get past...as above. I updated on March 17, 2014.
I have tried all the things on this page so far...1) cant get in to ssh (usb) because when i try it says that connection has been closed by remote, 2) the Cloud9 solution returns that it failed to download. I am new to linux command line, its honestly why i bought this thing...to learn. right now i have a $65.00 paperweight with a cool splash screen but cant get beyond the password. Why isnt there a generic password set on update as with other linux distros to avoid threads like this? Forgive my newness i really am trying and not being lazy here...I have been all over the internet and I see what you have here echoed, but its not working for me. additional help would be appreciated.
