SSH Access

  • Hi,
    I have an LibreELEC 11.0.1 running on a RPI3. I noticed there is an updated, so I wanted to install that using ssh (since the needed gui menu is missing, under Settings > LibreELEC > System there is no "Update"). I disabled the password through the gui, but i cant remember the username i set. i tried root, admin, libre, libreelec, kodi, but non did work. is there a way to read the chosen username somewhere in the gui?

    thx, Elvis

  • Normally the "Disable SSH Password" option is used after configuring certificate authentication instead. So turn off the disable to allow SSH passwords again. If necessary (re)set the current password: there is deliberately no need to know the current one, it's just overwritten.

  • ok, seems like i had a typo in the password. root works now. since we are already here: i hoped i could fix the problem of not finding any wifi networks with my rpi under LibreELEC. I was using osmc before and wifi did work. I was hoping to be able to use AirPlay when RPI and mac were on the same wifi. now with ethernet (and the same router) the mac doesnt find kodi as a AirPlay target.

  • AirPlay etc. require the router to replicate broadcast traffic that advertises the service on both wired and wireless segments. Some routers do that, and others don't. If the RPi cannot see the WiFi SSID; common reasons would be the SSID being hidden (ConnMan cannot see something that is not being broadcast) or the wireless regdomain might need configuring to align the radio properties.
