But if this is only backup data and can be replaced, reinstall the OS.
A reinstall would involve rebuilding the raid6. Not really desirable.
But in fooling around last night after changing out the dexcom7 sensor
on the back of my left arm, I hit the magic PW and I'm in via the debug
pins, including sudo. Now, since the house net here is all ipv6 on
wifi, and that box is setup for wired static on ipv4, I need to restore
dhcpd so it can query his router, That should restore net access, which
should bring it up to ubuntu 26.04 or so. But to make it static in the
first place, I may have nuked too much. ATM it's in the ipv4 space,
192.168.71.x/24. That of course rules out its getting out of its shirt
pocket in this environment.
I plugged in a wifi dongle into a spare USB hub port & "iwlist scanning"
returns 26 other radios active at 23:30 last night. Might be fun &
games staying private.
Thank you Chris, I appreciate the help. A lot.
Cheers, Gene.
