LED not working

[TheBigSysa]

Hi there,

first of all thanks for this incredible free firmware, everything works like a charm.

I just wanted to ask if there is any other way to active the LED of the CloudBox then Setup -> Other Settings, because rn it doesn't work for me. Currently the status is activated but the LED isn't activated at all. When I'm pressing the buttons Power LED on or Power LED off the LED shortly blinks red. Is the problem known and is there any solution?

Hi

It should work! :dry

So need to investigate that. Then:
- what fw version do you have ?
- what kernel version ?

Code: Select all

uname -a

- leds class

Code: Select all

ls -a /sys/class/leds/

Now if you run

Code: Select all

/etc/leds_bootup

and

Code: Select all

/etc/leds_switch on

and

Code: Select all

/etc/leds_switch off

LED is on or off after that ?

So, I am running 18-2 as fw and the commands are returning the following:

Code: Select all

uname -a

Linux fvdwsl-base.local 4.14.133 #1 PREEMPT Wed Jul 17 14:46:56 CEST 2019 armv5tel unknown unknown GNU/Linux

Code: Select all

ls -a /sys/class/leds

dir contains: familybox:blue:sata and familybox:red:fail

After running the three commands the LED is still off, like always :dontknow
btw. running the scripts always returns the env variables, is that a wanted behaviour?

so if you run now only the command

Code: Select all

/etc/leds_switch on

The blue led should be on ?

[TheBigSysa]

No unfortunately it isn't, i could sent you video about what's happening? The red LED is blinking just a few milli seconds..

Ok so can you post the full output of

Code: Select all

 sh -x /usr/bin/led -w on

[TheBigSysa]

Output is

+ [ -z ]
+ . /etc/leds_name_table

all seems right :scratch
Another post

Code: Select all

 grep '' ./sys/class/leds/familybox:blue:sata/*

[TheBigSysa]

Code: Select all

grep '' /sys/class/leds/familybox:blue:sata/*

returns

Hi

So still ok on this side, before using the former kernel version, just a try to see if red led is ok

Code: Select all

led -l familybox:red:fail -w 255

check if red led is on to switch off it do then

Code: Select all

led -l familybox:red:fail -w 0
