June 2, 20179 yr Hi, forgive the most likely easy question but I'm stumped (I'll probably say this for the next week). I've created my USB Flash drive and I'm able to boot into the gui. When I log in it opens Firefox to 'localhost' but can't connect. When I open up terminal and do an 'ifconfig' I have my IP address, 192.168.1.99, show up under br0 and eth0 . From my Mac and Window machine I can ping the IP but I still can't connect to the webserver either locally or remotely on the LAN. Ideas? I went through and edited the network.cfg in /config/ on the flash drive and set the static IP. I've also tried this on two different USB drives as well. Thanks for the help Josh Edited June 3, 20179 yr by JoshFink
June 2, 20179 yr Community Expert Type diagnostics on the command line and that will write the diagnostics file to the logs directory/folder of the Flash Drive. Upload that file with your next post.
June 3, 20179 yr Author @jonathanm I'm sure as it wouldn't let me make the USB bootable until I changed it. @Frank1940 Here are the logs Thanks for the help. I'm hoping it's just something dumb I forgot to do or fat fingered. tower-diagnostics-20170602-1006.zip
June 3, 20179 yr Community Expert I found this in the log file: Jun 2 08:35:15 Tower kernel: FAT-fs (sda1): bogus number of reserved sectors Jun 2 08:35:15 Tower kernel: FAT-fs (sda1): Can't find a valid FAT filesystem J I suspect that the Flash Drive is not formatted in FAT32 or you have more than one partition on it.
June 3, 20179 yr Author @Frank1940 That was the problem. So strange, for some reason it was formatted NTFS. Thanks for the help
June 3, 20179 yr Community Expert If it a large capacity Flash Drive, NTFS is often used as FAT32 has 4GB file size limitation. (Most folks wouldn't be able to figure why they couldn't save a larger file than that to their Flash Drive when there is plenty of space...)
