With the previous installation (systemd) I do have internet, but with the new one apparently not.

ping google.com gives:

I don't think it solves the host.

you can check what's in the file

/etc/resolv.conf

there should be a router

type

nameserver 192.168.1.1

the file should be written by dhcp at startup

/etc/resolv.conf contains (only):

which is the gateway.

The PC is pingable, but no internet.

yes, and the router does list the GP PC:

you gave a fixed ip through the router to the previous installation?

you don't have the dhcp active on your router?

you should delete it...or update it

I used the ipstatic command. So the router is not allocating, but the GP PC is demanding a static ip address.

The router DHCP seems to be working well.

How do I set a dynamic ip address?

Or maybe I should try reinstalling and fixing it to another static ip address (not .207)?

Shall I try a new install and avoid the previous ip address .207 ?

Maybe I should add that I am using an Intel X520-DA1 fiber network card. Under the GP systemd version it works well and has another name (not eth1).

Is it a board inside the pc? But do you have external powerlines? Can you turn them off and on again?

It is a PCIe board but not with external power. It gets its power from the motherboard.

This did not help.

I used BalenaEtcher to make a new stick and reinstalled.

Now I do have internet, but I am still using a dynamic ip address.

If I set a static ip address, how do I get back to dynamic if needed?

if the network is named eth1

rc-update del net.eth1 default

rc-update add dhcpcd default

reboot

bodiebill · July 15, 2019

thanks Filippo.

After using ipstatic, internet stopped working again, so I went back to dynamic ip using the above commands and internet is back.

Alas my router is not able to reserve ip addresses.

have you tried to set gatewey and dns 192.168.1.255 as default and not 254?

Fyi, here is the result of ifconfig on the systemd version:

enp1s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.207 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255

RX errors 0 dropped 60 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 125 bytes 18563 (18.1 KiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0

I compared the sound between the openRC and systemd versions and in my case the systemd version clearly sounds better. It is no doubt less strident, more mellifluous.

Is it just the system or could it be the different usb sticks? One (for systemd) is a sturdy and fast SLC stick which needs only 20 seconds to copy to RAM, the other (for openRC) an average stick which needs over 5 minutes to copy to RAM.

I guess it is not the sticks as I play from RAM...

I may try what you propose above (192.168.1.255) later, just out of curiosity.

Thanks again for your patience and prompt replies, Filippo, much appreciated!

antonellocaroli · July 16, 2019

Unfortunately with UEFI images I have problems...
GPT practically keeps the information of the pen from which I make the images, when you go to copy it, with some usb from errors ...

like:

GPT PMBR size mismatch (60751871 != 60063743) will be corrected by write.
The primary GPT table is corrupt, but the backup appears OK, so that will be used.
------

the only way I could solve it was by doing this:

copy the image

check with fdisk -l if it signals an error and keep the GUID in mind

ex:
PT PMBR size mismatch (60751871 != 60063743) will be corrected by write.
The primary GPT table is corrupt, but the backup appears OK, so that will be used.
Disk /dev/sdg: 28,7 GiB, 30752636928 bytes, 60063744 sectors
Disk model: Ultra USB 3.0
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 4A23B2B5-DA40-485D-8CAE-28B6AA808EAC

Dispositivo Start Fine Settori Size Tipo
/dev/sdg1 2048 6143 4096 2M BIOS boot
/dev/sdg2 6144 536575 530432 259M EFI System
/dev/sdg3 536576 15671295 15134720 7,2G Linux filesystem
------------------------

then use gdisk

gdisk /dev/sdx

ex: gdisk /dev/sdb etc.

use "v" to analyze the disk and then follow the suggestions

ex:

gdisk /dev/sdg
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.3

Warning! Disk size is smaller than the main header indicates! Loading
secondary header from the last sector of the disk! You should use 'v' to
verify disk integrity, and perhaps options on the experts' menu to repair
the disk.
Warning! Main and backup partition tables differ! Use the 'c' and 'e' options
on the recovery & transformation menu to examine the two tables.

Warning! One or more CRCs don't match. You should repair the disk!

Partition table scan:
  MBR: protective
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: damaged

****************************************************************************
Caution: Found protective or hybrid MBR and corrupt GPT. Using GPT, but disk
verification and recovery are STRONGLY recommended.
****************************************************************************

Command (? for help): v

Caution: The CRC for the backup partition table is invalid. This table may
be corrupt. This program will automatically create a new backup partition
table when you save your partitions.

Problem: main GPT header's backup LBA pointer (60751871) doesn't
match the backup GPT header's current LBA pointer (60063743).
The 'e' option on the experts' menu may fix this problem.

Problem: main GPT header's last usable LBA pointer (60751838) doesn't
match the backup GPT header's last usable LBA pointer (60063710)
The 'e' option on the experts' menu can probably fix this problem.

Problem: main header's disk GUID (DEAD7D93-B3BB-4ABE-864A-541270826CFA) doesn't
match the backup GPT header's disk GUID (4A23B2B5-DA40-485D-8CAE-28B6AA808EAC)
You should use the 'b' or 'd' option on the recovery & transformation menu to
select one or the other header.

Problem: Disk is too small to hold all the data!
(Disk size is 60063744 sectors, needs to be 60751872 sectors.)
The 'e' option on the experts' menu may fix this problem.

Problem: GPT claims the disk is larger than it is! (Claimed last usable
sector is 60751838, but backup header is at
60751871 and disk size is 60063744 sectors.
The 'e' option on the experts' menu will probably fix this problem

Partition(s) in the protective MBR are too big for the disk! Creating a
fresh protective or hybrid MBR is recommended.

Identified 7 problems!

Command (? for help): x

Expert command (? for help): e
Relocating backup data structures to the end of the disk

Expert command (? for help): r

Recovery/transformation command (? for help): d

Recovery/transformation command (? for help): w

Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING
PARTITIONS!!

Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): Y
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/sdg.
The operation has completed successfully.

then use Gparted to resize the partition of root or booted system as in pdf guide on first page...

if someone knows how to create images of systems with GPT partition table without having these incovenients can also tell me....

antonellocaroli · July 22, 2019

I've updated,
all images x86.

The images are in the usual place.

Now after copying there should be no problem.

only for UEFI images, when opening gparted you might get this message:

click on "fix"

michaelvv · July 23, 2019

Tried the newest image 1.5.x , works fine with my hqplayer embedded setup.

Running Linux 5.0.14-rt-rt9-MIN-GP1...

Haven't tried the ramsystem yet, but I might later, weather too nice right now.

Thanks Filippo...
