i thought i might try here before the conserver mailing list. i have a<br>
nice little setup of a soekris net4801<br>
(<a href="http://soekris.com/products/net4801.html" target="_blank">http://soekris.com/products/net4801.html</a>) that serves (with a<br>
minimal debian and mpd) as a music box. the only way to communicate with<br>
it other than networking (wlan or ethernet) is the serial console.<br>
now,occasionally, i want to access the console without hooking up the<br>
serial cable, because i'm lazy. i found conserver<br>
(<a href="http://www.conserver.com" target="_blank">http://www.conserver.com</a>), which is supposed to do just that - allow<br>
remote access to the actual console device. the problem is it doesn't<br>
work for me for whatever reason. i'm able to connect to the server,<br>
attach to the console, but then it freezes and i can do nothing except<br>
use the escape sequence to quit.<br>
if i'm already connected at the same time to the console with the<br>
cable (of course it can't really work together, this is just for<br>
testing), i can actually see characters being sent to the console, but<br>
with no apparent response, as if it's just displayed instead of being<br>
taken as commands.<br> <br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>But is the console actually 'listening' ?<br><br></div><div>I mean, do you have [a]getty running and everything? (see <a href="http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-setup-serial-console-on-debian-linux/">http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-setup-serial-console-on-debian-linux/</a>)<br>
<br></div><div>I would assume that it is, because from your wording, I understand that sometimes you do use the physical serial connection with success... but I have to ask. <br><br>The next question would of course be if conserver console was set to type 'device' and the device path was set to the device file name of a serial console listening with the aforementioned getty ? And the buadrate, start/stop bit, parity, all match to what has been set on getty?<br>
