Octoprint on RPi not reachable

Get Help
1

What is the problem?
Octoprint worked fine for quite a while. I specifically remember turning the system off through the menu, and a few minutes later cut power of the printer including the raspberry pi. After a few days I returned, switched on the printer including raspberry pi. It did not post the message about it's IP in the printers graphical display, so I rebooted it and it displayed the ip. I tried reaching it through octoprint.local like always, and it would not connect. I tried reaching it through SSH and I get ssh: connect to host octopi.local port 22: Connection refused, same message if I ssh via IP.

What did you already try to solve it?
Restart router, restart octoprint, try to find log on sd card, but there does not seem to be one on? Is there a way to access the logs if I cant access the rpi while its running?
I also tried a portscan on the pi, did not return any results :frowning:

Additional information about your setup
Latest octoprint version as of last week, raspberry pi 3B, Anet A8 with RAMPs and Marlin 1.1.8 bugfix with a few weeks old build.

Last resort is the brute force method

Get a USB keyboard and plug in an HDMI cable and talk to it locally. Ask it its IP address (IFCONFIG), ask it to talk to your router (PING 192.168.X.X, or whatever IP scheme you use), and, if you have internet, ask it to talk to google (PING 8.8.8.8)

Also, the ANGRY IP SCANNER is a lot of fun in identifying both wired and wireless objects on your network

If you can get logged in locally (via keyboard/mouse/monitor brute-force), then you may want to visit sudo raspi-config and make sure that ssh is enabled. The message you received suggests that it's not enabled.

Yea, what he said ^^^

Do that too

I just made sure SSH is on via hdmi. Still would not connect via anything. I have triple checked the ip is correct before I wrote this post.

6

dmesg says something about `Cannot add dependency job for unit regernerate_ssh_host_keys_service, ignoring: Unit regenerate_ssh_host_keys.service failed to load: no such file or directory."

Well, if you can get in with the keyboard and monitor, at least you can visit the log files now. Might be a clue there, maybe

Wait, what version of Octopi are you running ?

8

Spyder I appreciate your drive to help a lot. But please read what I wrote in the post. I said latest version, which is 1.3.8.
I'm on it for checking logs

9

I said "Octopi", not Octoprint

Two different things

10

Ahh gotcha, sorry, Version 0.14

11

That particular error sounds a lot like this but Debian dude closed it since it only affects Raspian (Jessie).

Hmm, could it be this easy?

12

Triple checked via ifconfig?

Can you confirm sshd is running? (command and sample output follows; if there are multiple lines, please add them to your reply)

$ ps waxu |grep sshd
root       797  0.0  0.5   7860  4376 ?        Ss   Apr28   0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd -D
root      9856  0.0  0.6  11548  5112 ?        Ss   21:02   0:00 sshd: pi [priv]
pi        9861  0.0  0.4  11548  4144 ?        S    21:02   0:00 sshd: pi@pts/0

Are you sure ssh is listening across the whole network?

$ egrep -i listenaddress /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[only commented-out lines are returned in my case]

FWIW I think the dmesg comment is invalid- I have that on my octopi too:

[    2.621894] systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit regenerate_ssh_host_keys.service, ignoring: Unit regenerate_ssh_host_keys.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

I like the brute force method

Try this. Create an empty file... /boot/ssh.txt
then do... sudo touch /boot/ssh
then reboot

And see what happens

Thank you tedder!

tripple checked via ifconfig.

ps waxu | grep sshd
pi   2413 0.0 0.2 4276 2008d tty1 05:16 0:00 grep --color=auto sshd

It does not return a result for `$ egrep -i listenaddress /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Also. We are exclusively discussing SSH. I cannot connect to it at all, neither ssh, nor http. It did work before. It was shutdown via octoprint guy, and switched off for a few days. I am quite a bit puzzled and considering doing a fresh install with octopi 0.15 ...

Let's focus on ssh, even if http doesn't work. Run 'status', then 'restart', then wait a few seconds and 'status' again, then 'ps'. Share a bunch of it here.

$ sudo service ssh status
$ sudo service ssh restart
$ sudo service ssh status

Here's an example of successfully running ssh:
