[SOLVED] 22.26 update broke my freedom box

Support
1

Problem Description
I have to reboot my machine (acer laptop running Debian / Freedombox) several times daily just to access Plinth. I am brought (eventually) to a Debian login splash screen today. But previous to the 22.26 update, I just saw status lines (text only).

Steps to Reproduce

  1. power on freedombox / laptop
  2. laptop screen shows various services starting up
  3. I’m brought to a debian login splash screen. (Where is my freedombox software now?)

Expected Results
I expected my freedom box to start up - I only had the debian splash screen the first time I installed freedombox, and I’m too dumb to get it to go to debian through something I did.

Information

  • FreedomBox version: 22.26, I think
  • *AcerOne laptop / netbook AMD64
  • How did you install FreedomBox?: ‘apt install freedombox’
2

update:
If I reboot and I’m quick enough, I can get it to work, but eventually it reverts to “Debian splash screen”. I can’t access it through the internet either (I’m using the freedombox to host a small blog).

I logged into plinth and looked at the logs:

This is related to the following change in 22.26:

  • security: Remove restricted access setting and configuration

Previously, FreedomBox had a “restrict access” setting that could be enabled (default option) or disabled. It was enabled on your FreedomBox.

One of the unintended side-effects of the “restrict access” setting was that it would block some display managers such as gdm3 (Gnome display manager) from starting up. This is the software that displays the Debian login splash screen.

So your laptop is running both FreedomBox and a desktop environment (probably Gnome?). FreedomBox is still running in the background, even when the login splash screen is displayed.

Maybe this will help: You can switch to a virtual console by pressing the keys Ctrl-Alt-F1. Press Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back to the login splash screen.

awesome.
I will try this tomorrow and report back.
Thank you for the quick response!

just want to add that yes, I do see the Debian gnome splash screen, but also, after a while - I can’t reach my freedombox via internet - so it sounds like I have two problems:

  1. the new debian gnome splash screen
  2. my freedom box keeps losing its IP address (or it’s going to sleep?). ← if I reboot the whole machine, I can briefly reach the box via hostname, but then it eventually disappears.
6

Are you able to login through SSH or Cockpit? If so, you could try running commands:

$ sudo systemctl stop gdm
$ sudo systemctl disable gdm

This should prevent the Gnome splash screen from appearing at all.

7

Can I do that directly in the laptop while it is running gnome? I can’t get to cockpit anymore.

Ok, on one of the times I rebooted, I was able to go into software updates (Plinth) and grab the logs - does this help:

Status
You are running Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) and FreedomBox version 22.26. Updating…

Yes, sure.

Actually, you can skip the “stop” command: if you run “sudo systemctl disable gdm”, then you can just restart the FreedomBox (“sudo reboot”).

Ok, I ran that command and rebooted, and it brought me to a freedombox login screen (all text based) that I’ve not seen before. But the system appears to be working.

I’ve noticed that my network connection seems to go to sleep since the new 22.26 update. I don’t know if stopping the gnome display will fix that, so I’m going to watch it today and see what happens.

All my data seems to be intact, so this is a good sign for now.

Thank you for your help!

I think we can close this issue - server has been up all day, no issues.

Thanks again!
