17.9. StellarMate HotSpot disappeared, where did it go?
Usual Cause
StellarMate HotSpot is only active when StellarMate is not connected to
any network.
If you connect StellarMate to your WiFi network, or if you connect
StellarMate to LAN via Ethernet, then the HotSpot is deactivated. It is only
reactivated again when there is no network to reach.
Other Causes
1. Failure to boot up: If the unit cannot be reached in any method (WiFi,
Ethernet, etc.) then connect HDMI cable + keyboard and see the
output on the screen. StellarMate is quite a tolerant to power off but
sometimes part of the SD card gets corrupted and requires manual
intervention.
After the initial bootup message, press Ctrl+D and you will drop to the
terminal.
Then type in the following. Please beware that there is one space
between sudoedit and /etc/default/rcS.
When it asks for a password, enter smate and then press Enter.
An editor will open, press the arrow key down to go to the bottom of the
editor. You will see a parameter called FSCKFIX=no. Change the no to
a yes.
After that, press Ctrl+O to save the file and then press Enter.
Then press Ctrl+X to exit the editor. Finally, type in sudo reboot to reboot
StellarMate and press Enter.
StellarMate should hopefully bootup normally next time.
2. Wrong Home WiFi password: If you entered a wrong home WiFi
password, this can lead to HotSpot dropping while not being able to
establish a connection to the Home WiFi Network. The recommended
solution is to use HDMI+Keyboard to login to StellarMate OS, and
then reset the WiFi network from the StellarMate Tools App on the
desktop. After restarting the unit, the HotSpot should automatically
come up.
