Hello,
I have been enjoying using the apollo, have a full unit (batch 3) + 2 standard units and hope to get more
I have run into an issue though and need help. Here is the story:
- Last night, I made the unfortunate mistake of updating to Ubuntu version 22 when prompted to do so
. After doing so, The unit started up just fine on reboot, however the background was changed from the Apollo background to an Ubuntu desktop background, and my miner for the full unit was no longer showing up in the dashboard as a miner (the 2 standard units were still showing up and mining just fine and mining on boot). I hopped onto this forum and it appears a remedy is to flash a new image onto the unit (seemed like it was necessary anyway to make the update to Apollo Web version 0.3.4). I successfully removed the SSD from the apollo unit and installed the correct image using etcher (verified my serial # 3rd character was 8, so used MCU 1 image) onto the micro SD. I did so very carefully and don't believe I did anything that could possibly harm the hardware. I then put the micro SD back into my apollo unit. The initial boot took some time (10 mins or so), and then I was able to log in, and the launching page had me choose a new password (I followed instructions to not use special characters). Everything seems to work, except problem is:
- The fan is running on what sounds like max without any adjustments and even after 15 to 20 mins it is still running at same high rate.
- My miner seems to be completely offline still. The raw stats show nothing happening (just two brackets with no info or code inside whereas before there was various code regarding the miner) and the dashboard shows no power, hash or any feedback coming from the miner (miner hashrate, watts and hardware errors show 0, and the Miner uptime section shows 'inactive'). The light on the front of the unit, which blinks red when working, is completely off. I confirmed my pool info is correct, and I am ethernet connected on the internet. Dashboard shows 'online' in green . Any ideas on how to fix? I looked through the forum pretty thoroughly for any similar issues but was not able to find, so let me know where to look if it's a known issue. Otherwise, any ideas ?
P.S. I have images, but I can't figure out how to upload / include them. If that would help, please assist a newbie in how to do this.
