The KiWi is an excellent product Indeed. And it's even much more than at the time of purchase, thanks to Johns restless work. I often say with a wink that - alongside my e-bike and my camping bus - the kiwi is one of my most important purchases in t…

@AB9IL: You asked John, but I try to answer, as it's pure Linux and nothing kiwi-specific. Do the following settings in /etc/ssh/sshd_config: PasswordAuthentication no PubkeyAuthentication yes (However, I would leave or set PasswordAuthentication to…

Hi Carl, the shortcuts (or at least most of them) are alias definitions in /root/.bashrc, so you can check this textfile and if necessary, restore it from a working kiwi. To give a reference, my .bashrc is 26595 bytes in size. If yours is significan…

Bob's posting may be kind of ambiguous. For me it seems to describe a different (new) problem rather than the recent "S9 noise across the entire spectrum, possibly caused by the BBG itself". It sounds more like a "deaf" kiwi than…
-
I don't think your kiwi has actively powered itself down, and I'm not aware of any potential conditions which could cause that intendedly. I would consider a power brownout more likely. If it's only a short glitch and not a "clean" powercy…
-
Hi, Jim. Are you sure it's a charger related problem? Did you try another power supply? (Even if noisy, it should be good enough for a test.)
-
Same here. (Kiwi 1 with debian 8 and software 1.664; firefox 123.0.1)
-
Just for curiosity, I tested the squelch in FM in the CB area around 27 MHz. It seems to work as expected, I can't see any problem (kiwi 1.664, debian 8, latest firefox). 4) +1!!!
-
Strange. Never seen such wires. Looks like something provisional. As you can see here, the input signal normally goes via nothing else but a copper foil trace into the shielded box. https://forum.kiwisdr.com/uploads/067/CXXIDDGIGZKK.png I would try…

Or paint/spray it white...

Congrats! Can i set that from the admin panel? Yes. Hit connect in the console tab, then you can use the normal linux passwd command as probably familiar. If you want to login as root via ssh, you must also change PermitRootLogin in /etc/ssh/sshd_co…

Hi Martin, Running HTOP shows no entries of nginx. Kiwi doesn't make use of nginx or any other standard webserver package. Look for kiwid; that's the main process which contains its own webserver. But unless the kiwi hardware is repaired, you probab…

In a linux script, you could do something like users=$(wget -q -O- "<url of your kiwi>/status" | grep -m1 "^users=" | sed -e 's|^users=||') to get the pure number into a variable. Regards, Manfred, DL7AWL
-
John, you got mail. Sorry for the delay, I was interrupted.
-
Unfortunately, my Kiwi is currently not publicly listed. Sorry. But I could arrange it if nobody else can help faster.
-
I can confirm the problem. Seems that server restarts whenever local DX labels are touched in some way.
-
Can someone reproduce this? I can't. If I try the same as you did, it starts with the number of green bars slowly increasing up to 6, which takes some time. After that, it seems to remain stable at 6 satellites; no "cycling" as you describ…

Thanks again!
-
Many thanks! But after updating to 1.631, antenna switch UI seems to be broken. No button is green, even after klicking, and selected antenna and permissions are reported as unknown. But "physical" antenna switching seems to work blindly a…

My provisional (solar-powered) experimental setup on a wooden board: https://forum.kiwisdr.com/uploads/537/G9SVSYW7BD75.jpg Components: Kiwi in its original metal/plastic frame and with its unused GPIO lines led out (over series resistors) to a D-Su…
-
Just for the sake of completeness: My problem mentioned here has been cleared up in the meantime - it was only my own stupidity. I was used to the fact that most setting changes take effect as soon as the cursor leaves the respective input field, an…
-
That won't take place as it would be an almost completely other project. As Johns opening post indicates, KiwiSDR 2 is planned as a new edition of the previous one with only minimal and low-risk changes. No more, no less.
-
Wow! Although I'm currently not interested in another Kiwi (as long as my existing one is working as perfectly as over the last years), I'm excited that this fantastic project seems to get a new future perspective. Thanks, John!!!
-
I remember a similar issue recently. I had tried to switch from DHCP to a fixed IP and filled in the related fields, but the kiwi was again in DHCP mode after rebooting, and I could still contact it under the "old" DHCP-assigned IP. (After…
-
These backup files seem to be the result of following John's instructions in the 1st posting of this thread. As their sizes match the respective original, they are probably okay - except it looks like there was a typing accident resulting in a somew…
-
No problems here, too. Wheel zooming with USB mouse works in both directions (Firefox 113).
-
To keep "own" things separate, I'm using a self-created directory /root/mystuff and put things like bash scripts etc there. But that's a matter of personal taste.
-
Congratulations! Is your kiwi publicly accessible? If yes, and if you really can login as root with your serial#, you should urgently change your root password into something significantly longer and more complicated. The serial# is way too short an…
-
Please try to be more clear. It's not always easy to understand your respective context. My vague guess: You don't know your actual root password? If so, you can do the following: Login via ssh (putty) with debian as username and your serial# as pas…
-
This is surely not a browser problem. Chrome, Firefox and opera web browsers not connecting to Kiwisdr.... Putty works OK, WinSCP works OK... Looks for me as if the kiwi-daemon (kiwid) is not running. When logged in via putty, you can check this by …
