Installation of CumulusMX Image on a RBPi 4 Issues....

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Installation of CumulusMX Image on a RBPi 4 Issues....

Post by scudwatcher »

Good Evening,
As per the instructions here at: https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Raspberry_Pi_Image, upon powering up my RBPi 4, I view a black start-up screen requesting cumulusmx login and password? Can someone here possibly help? Thank You in advance.

Sounds like you may have been expecting a GUI?

The pre-built image only runs the linux core.
After installation the user name and password are defaulted to pi & raspberry.

See if that gets you to the next point.

Cheers.

Once you have CumulusMX set up on your pi and the pi is connected to your home network, open a web browser on your pc / tablet and go to the address xxx.xxx.x.x:8998 (where the x's represent the IP address of your pi). e.g. 192.168.1.10:8998

This should take you to the interface of CumulusMX i believe.

If you dont know the ip address of your pi you can either:
Log in to your router and look for it under connected devices or...
log in to your pi with username: pi and password: raspberry then enter the command

ifconfig

you should see something similar for each network interface.

eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255
ether b8:27:eb:b4:5a:19 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 261945383 bytes 24819095947 (23.1 GiB)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 471074578 bytes 539740169137 (502.6 GiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0

I am using a direct cable connection so under eth0 / inet this is my ip address 192.168.0.4 so in my browser I enter 192.168.0.4:8998 and get the MX interface.
