Now we will install the RDP package (for remote desktop support) and few common utilities: apt install xrdp -y apt install gkrellm terminator htop sudo gnupg -y apt-get install -reinstall cpufrequtils apt-get install -reinstall libcpufreq0 NOTE: if you would like to install X11 themes in the future make sure you install them under /usr/share/themes You can check the name of your board or change it, open your hostname file: sudo nano /etc/hostname To do this, install avahi-daemon : sudo dpkg -configure -a sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon This way, if your IP address changes you don't have to worry about it. Now you should be able to connect, and you'll be prompted to generate a new ssh key.Īlternatively, you can use multicast DNS (mDNS) to give your MaaXBoard a name like ' maaxboard.local' which is used instead of the IP address to connect to it. To fix this, simply invalidate the existing ssh key with ssh-keygen: ssh-keygen -R 192.168.1.30 Sometimes, you may even get a message like this when you try to connect via WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! means that your MaaXBoard is using an IP address that was previously used by a device that was connected to your host computer. If ssh doesn't work, I log into my router and check 'attached devices' to find my MaaXBoard's new IP address. If you're like me and have dozens of IOT devices on your desk, your IP address will probably change frequently, as other devices come on and off the network. How to connect when your IP address changes

Once the board is up and running (few minutes) reconnect to the same IP address with SSH: ssh ADDRESS] Save the file with CTRL+O and exit the editor with CTRL+X. If it's still really slow, you can also uncomment the line 'GSSAPIAuthentication no' at the top of the file to prevent it from trying to figure out if it should do encrypted authentication on every command.

You can write the following instructions into it by typing each line and pressing enter.Ĭtrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

Use the nano editor to create the file, in your serial console type the command: nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_nf We will create a wpa_supplicant configuration file with the same credentials. Now we want to allow the board to reconnect on reboot. Once you have split the bands, try deleting and reconnecting to a single band: nmcli con delete nmcli r wifi off nmcli r wifi on The fix is to split the SSIDs apart (most routers have a button to split bands). It's likely that you are on a dual-band or tri-band router that combines 2.5 and 5gHZ into a single SSID. If you see this error:Įrror - secrets were required but not provided. NOTE: MaaXBoard works with both 2.5 and 5gHZ WIFI, but not both together in the same SSID.
