SSH for noobs on Debian

Check your router ip table to see what ip your pine64 is using after the update.

Yes, I dont think that root comes with a password; the default user (pine64user) is a sudoer

[edit: but did you try to connect as pine64user ---- ssh pine64user@you-ip-address ?  --- didnt you get a password prompt ?

I am using PuTTY so it doesn't prompt you for the username until the connection is made, and as I've said before the PINE64 was actively refusing connections so there was no login prompt (username or password).

KuJoe,

Are you sure you are using the right IP? I ask because the pine, with each new OS install, gets a new MAC. So DHCP would issue a new IP.

For me when I was first getting debian going my DHCP handed out about 12 IP's as I was having to reinstall often due to flash issues.

Yes, 100% positive. This was the first time I've powered on the PINE64 and so I was logged into the router and saw the IP it was assigned and then I made a static entry for the PINE64. Rebooted it multiple times and could ping it each time.

yea, this too. You may be connecting to a previous IP

Since this was the first time I powered the device on there was no previous IP unfortunately.

Check your router ip table to see what ip your pine64 is using after the update.

What update? There hasn't been any changes to my PINE64.

Try installing MinGW. (www.mingw.org). It will give you a minimal Linux shell to be able to control the pine64.

Then you can use SSH through the Linux shell. It will prompt you.
