XMAS LED Lightshow Easteregg? #1051

Closed rkilchmn closed 3 years ago

rkilchmn commented 3 years ago

Hi,

Just wondering if others experienced a XMAS LED Lightshow? My router just started flashing the multi-color LEDs pretty much randomly. Everything seems to work fine, so I assume this is a hidden "easteregg" feature and I was not hacked?

Marry XMAS around the world from Australia,

Cheers Roger

Yes, I noticed this too. I thought something was up with my modem, so I rebooted it and then came here and saw your comment. LOL.

Same here on my Telstra Smart Modem Gen2! Thought I'd properly broken something until I saw your comment!

Oh thank God. I was so scared while playing Valorant that at any moment it could go down lol

is there a way to turn the led off? Thanks

I'd also like to turn that off, it's great that there is a Christmas easter egg but I have my modem in my bedroom and sleeping is kinda hard with bright lights blinking.

I just logged into the web interface and had a look at the CRON Rules. Found one in there for /etc/christmas_tree.sh. I just deleted it, then logged in via ssh and ran a ps to find the processes running and then I just ran a kill command to kill all the processes running that the script had started.

Mind you, this just stopped it, so all the LED's are in their last state, so a reboot later should fix that.

Infinite cheers for this. I couldn't wrap my head around it last year and this year it finally clicked. I thought they weren't christmas lights last year and just some bug, took so long to find a solution that it had stopped by itself. This year I figured it out instantly. Thankfully you guys did all the hard work already and found the relevant stuff! What would be great though is a GUI option for it.

For anyone that wants a more detailed walkthrough:

cd /etc/ Navigate to the job's folder. ls Check for the existence of christmas_tree.sh rm -rf christmas_tree.sh Remove it. (Yes -rf is overkill) reboot Now wait a couple minutes for the reboot and it'll be fixed.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I appreciate the Easter egg, but please next time put a warning or disclaimer about it, I was scared someone managed to get remote access to my router or something :P

I believe that you can also modify the blinking lights from GUI:

This is truly one of the best easter eggs I’ve seen. Nonetheless, the first thought was that somebody hacked my router. Merry Christmas!

That's odd, I've never seen that before.

Undoubtedly a great Easter egg, but a heads up would've been cool so no one gets freaked out or bashes their heads about it. Happy holidays!
