Topic: Baikal Giant B cannot be accessed to web UI - page 2. (Read 1101 times)

Of course i tried your fix, step by step, but did not help in my case, hence why my hope is now the new Orange Pi.

Just a word of warning to everyone...

I went through 5 different Orange PI Zeros, with 5 different SD cards before I was able to resolve the problem with my Baikal's web interface.

Turns out it wasn't the PIs at all... but a weird bug with the way Baikal setup the interfaces file in Ubuntu.  It doesn't seem to affect everyone equally.

So before you get your hopes up that a new Orange PI will resolve the Web interface being offline, give the fix that MrKotaro and myself worked through above a shot first.

Yes, also order from Baikal as they have customized pi

You had the exact same problem like me or a bit other problem?
Allready ordered a replacement orange pi, hope it will solve the problem indeed.

Thanks to both of you !

I do share if someone ask 
so here you go

Order a replacement orangepi and fix it, it will be resolved!

  thats how i resolved it!

but seems you are not willing to share it with the community .... 

reflashed with this one, should be the latest one, or do i miss something?
PiZero_GX10_171229_V1.1

i know the solution which worked for me 

Did you try reflashing the SD card with the current/latest image from Baikal for your controller/ASIC?

I have a similar problem with one of our Giants X10.

hope someone can help with some advice.

We have a problem with one of our Baikal Giant X10. The problem ist that we are not able to log into the Web Menu.
The password field itself for some reason is moved to the very left and the "Enter" Button is missing as well on the
Web Page to enter the Baikal setup.  (see screenshot).

Several tries to flash the SD Card did not help, always the same result with this messed up login page.
The Baikal itself works perfectly meanwhile, mining and hashing to its default settings, but this is of course not
what i want.

I tested the following so far with the following results:
- reflash v1.0, does not work
- reflash v1.1, does not work
- used SD card from another working Giant X10 miner, does not work
- used another Orange Pi Controller including the SD card from another X10, works!!!
- used the Orange Pi Controller without the SD card from another X10, does not work.
- transfered the Orange Pi Controller from the "faulty" X10 to a working one with the working ones SD Card, does not work.
- transfered the Orange Pi Controller from the "faulty" X10 including the SD Card to a working one, does not work.

This makes me think that the problem might be the Orange Pi Controller? Is it possible that a faulty Orange Pi Controller gives
such an error like a messed up login page? Any other suggestion? Advices how to fix this?

Every suggestion is more than welcome!!! Thx in advance.

Screenshot how the Web Login looks like:




Tried this one, did not work for me and my problem :-(

So far i'am pretty sure i have a Pi Orange Controller Problem. Someone has one or knows a dealer or someone else who could deliver express one?

I'm glad we figured it out.  I'm sure someone else will have this problem, and having a good working suggestion will keep them from tearing their hair out. 

Hi, puwaha
I also resolved the issue with another way, and the uptime is almost 20 Hours now.

I only edited the /etc/network/interfaces file to fix its IP
with the command

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static

So, I believe that it has the problem with these commands too.

Thank you.

mrkotaro... I think I resolved the issue we've been having with our Baikals.

It may be a little early to tell, but my A2000 has been up for 14 hours now.

There's a couple of things I did, and I'm not sure if one or both of them contributed... but here' what I did:

1. Rebooted the Baikal so that I can gain access again
2. SSH into the Baikal (username: baikal   password: baikal)
3. edited the /etc/hostname file (sudo nano /etc/hostname ) to give the unit a new name.  I have an A900 with the same default hostname (Baikal) so I wanted to make sure there wasn't some strange conflict
4. edited the /etc/hosts file (sudo nano /etc/hosts ) to have the DNS name match the new hostname from step 3
5. edited the /etc/network/interfaces file (sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces) and added a couple of lines.  I got this idea from an Orange Pi forum, where someone was having similar issues, and it was suggested that maybe there was a power saving issue or the "allow-hotplug eth0" feature was enabled.  They suggested replacing the "allow hotplug eth0" with just "auto eth0".  When I looked at this file, nothing was listed for eth0 which suggests that the ubuntu OS is probably using Network Manager, but I couldn't find any evidence of this either.  So I just added these two lines:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

6. Rebooted the Baikal again...
7. While I was waitiing to see if it would go offline again, I grabbed a spare cheapo network switch I had laying around (Trendnet Green Power 8 port 1Gbe) and chained it as the downstream switch off of the switch I had the Baikal running on and plugged the Baikal into this switch alone.  So for the Baikal, my network is like this:  internet <-> IPFire router VM <-> TPLink 10Gbe core switch <-> TPLink 8 port 1Gbe switch <-> Trendnet Green Power 8 port 1Gbe switch <->  Baikal A2000

After 14+ hours... seems to be up and running! 

I knew I wasn't crazy.

I have the same problem with Baikal Giant+ A2000s on my network.  I wrote about my experience here in a review of the excellent customer service I got from the seller of these ASICs here:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/review-of-wwwbittawmartcom-2840414  The seller and another contact worked tirelessly to help me try to solve it... but in the end I have the same exact experience.  The ASICs still mine, you can see that it's doing so from your pool statistics.

I haven't come up with a solution yet, I'm assuming that there are some settings we'll have to adjust on the linux OS the Orange Pi controller.

Hi. I just got Baikal Giant B today.
I have a problem with accessing into web management UI.
When I plug in the power supply, I can access into UI for a while (about 15 to 20 mins).
After that I cannot access into UI via web browser anymore. It show up "This site can’t be reached 192.168.1.53 took too long to respond.".
Then, I have to unplug power supply, wait for a while, and then plug in the power, so I can access into the UI again for another 15 to 20 mins.
I have to do this several time to monitor its status.

How can I solve the problem? Thank you.
