Linux Shell access? #74

Open jkaidor opened 7 months ago

jkaidor commented 7 months ago

Hello,

I have an MKS-SKIPR card that I installed on my ancient Makerfront printer. Works great. But I have hit a small snag. I wanted to install openvpn on that machine - and to do so, I need Linux shell access.

OK, I tried ssh to the SKIPR's IP address. Doesn't work. Apparently, no sshd running.

Then I tried hooking up a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse. No action. If I cycle power, it goes to a printer status "kiosk" screen, and then ignores the keyboard and mouse.

Is there a magic keystroke combination to interrupt it on its way to the kiosk screen? Or maybe to break out of the screen?

The wiki says to use a "serial cable" to connect a USB C port to a PC. Would this be just a straight-through cable? Or a cable with serial-port electronics? Or a crossover cable? Or....?

Thanks in advance,

                         - JerryK

OK. Resolved. I just started whacking keys at the kiosk screen. All of a sudden - poof! A Linux command line! I think it was control-F1 .... or something like that.
