Hey hutbit, thanks for posting this here, if you’re able to SSH in, can you help provide us some logs so we can take a look?

Hi Jon, Thanks for the reply. Trying to SSH in on terminal. Have followed the instructions and upon trying to enter my password I am just met with a blank curser before seeing the following prompt about 60 seconds post hitting return:

umbrel@umbrel.local’s password:  
bash: “~/umbrel/scripts/debug”: No such file or directory  
Connection to umbrel.local closed.

Hm, can you just try SSH’ing without the second command? (so just “ssh umbrel@umbrel.local”, and then put in your password), just seeing if you can even get in.

If you’re able to get in, then try running  
~/umbrel/scripts/debug

If that doesn’t do anything, can you just type ls and screenshot that? Curious if the folders even exist.

Hi Jon,

This is what I have got so far:

ssh umbrel@umbrel.local

umbrel@umbrel.local’s password:

Hm, were you able to run ls while ssh’ed into the umbrel? This is the folder structure of your Windows machine.

The ssh command above output the right stuff, you were logging in - assuming it didn’t kick you out, ls should’ve showed you just the umbrel/ folder.

So are you not receiving a command prompt at all? It should appear eventually (don’t exit, otherwise you’re disconnecting from the umbrel).

What program are you using to ssh with? Is it Powershell or something else? (also, I’m guessing your on a Windows machine)

There should be quite a bit more after that (it’s pretty common that it looks like it’s stuck for a bit right where you’re at, but then more comes after). You could also copy/paste all that text into something like [pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com) instead of screenshotting it

Hm, it seems a little odd that you’re getting disconnected like this, would you be able to reflash your SD card with the Umbrel image (your funds shouldn’t be impacted, but make sure you have backups just in case).

Hi Jon, reflashed the SD and it seems to have worked. Thanks for your help. Best
