Hello,
I installed PCP v6.0.0 last year on a RPI 4, and since then I've had very few problems with it. Initially there were some instabilities, which were solved with inpuit from this forum to create a cronjob to reboot the player once per week. Since this morning after the latest weekly reboot, I see the following message on the screen > crond[499]: time disparity of 27311719 minutes detected I assume that PCP failed to retrieve the correct time, and that it defaults back to the 1970 epoch. During startup, the PCP splash screen is displayed, it then reaches the point where "Setting keymap to us home" is displayed. This screen is then cleared and the cron error message is displayed I assume that the SD flash is still good, otherwise it would be completely bricked. 36345 I have some basic Linux admin knowledge, so I know how to navigate my way around the file system. I can ping the PCP, so basic IP connectivity is working. However, I cannot use ssh or tftp to log onto it, it is rejected. I have attached a keyboard to the PCP, so I can execute some basic shell commands. I checked /var/log/, it contains only one file autologin with the epoch date Jan 1, 1970. The command crontab displays the following > crontab -l > crontab: can't open 'tc': No such file or directory There is no sshd in /etc/init.d or /etc/init.c/services. However, there is an entry for tftpd. When I try to start it > /etc/init.d/services/tftpd start > /etc/init.d/services/tftpd: line 9: /sbin/udpsvd: not found > ls /sbin/udpsvd > ls: /sbin/udpsvd: No such file or directory Can I recover from this? I've searched the forum, and found not many references to this problem. It's probably time to update to PCP v8.0, but I've been putting it off because I also have LMS installed on the same RPI, and would like to first backup the LMS settings. Many thanks, Paul +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: PXL_20211205_123210462.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36345| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ *2 SB3s 1 piCorePlayer / RPI 4B LMS 7.9.1 / Synology DS718* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ppmoore's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13157 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111787 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
