Confusion about connecting to rooted tv #219

Closed AlbeyAmakiir closed 2 months ago

AlbeyAmakiir commented 2 months ago

I have a rooted webOS 3.4.0 tv, and I want to connect this tool. I can ping the tv, but the connection with the manager is always refused.

The instructions on the webosbrew page say that to connect, my public key must copied to the tv. But how is that possible if I can't already connect? I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but I've been searching through docs and issues for hours already without luck.

How do I get my public key to the TV?

If you have just rooted the TV successfully, you can connect with the default password alpine. After adding your public key, it will disable the default password on boot.

Ah, of course. I tried the password method when I hadn't turned ssh on yet, and forgot to try it again after I did. Thanks for helping me through my foolishness.

I will improve initial setup steps to add some checklists when the user selects the "rooted" option when they add their device.
