#Feedback.

Аfter booting from one of the images below, use the following credentials to login:

 login: root
 password: alt

For the recent images with graphics support (both XFCE and MATE), these credentials work for the first boot. All images with graphics support have a graphical setup wizard that is activated on the first boot and allows to do initial configuration of the system, including setting the root password.

The developer image (builder) has another pre-created user:

 login: altlinux
 password: alt

Attention! It is recommended to change the password as soon as possible after the first log-in into the system.

HiFive Unmatched and Unleashed

For HiFive Unmatched and HiFive Unleashed boards we recommend fresh images build by jqt4@: http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/people/jqt4/images/hifive/

Setup instructions are available on the corresponding board page in this wiki: HiFive Unmatched, HiFive Unleashed

See #VNC section below on how to access graphical setup for Xfce and MATE images.

QEMU

The images for the QEMU listed below:

Minimal system with systemd -- link (MD5, SHA1)
Minimal sytem with SysV -- link (MD5, SHA1)
Minimal system for developer (rpmbuild, hasher, gcc, ssh) -- link (MD5, SHA1)
Graphical system with XFCE (VNC, X11) -- link (MD5, SHA1)

The instructions on how to run these images on QEMU are on a separate page: Ports/riscv64/QEMU.

For information about how to connect to the VNC server please refer to the #VNC section below.

VNC

At the first boot the user will be asked to setup system manually through visual menu. One could setup the timezone, root password, add a new user, setup VNC password, etc. In the case of QEMU, if port forwarding for port 5900 is used, connecting to VNC is straightforward. For example, in the case of tigerVNC:

$ vncviewer 127.0.0.1

In the case of HiFive Unleashed one needs to find out what is the IP address of this machine. The HiFive Unleashed obtains an IP address from DHCP during boot time. One way to do this is to connect HiFive Unleashed and PC with a microUSB-USB cord. This allows one to connect to the serial console. To connect to the serial console (usually it is /dev/ttyUSB1) with GNU/screen, please use the following command:

$ screen /dev/ttyUSB1 115200

During first boot time the information about IPv4 and IPv6 addresses will be prompted to the console (e.g.):

[  128.084540] xinit[276]: ALTERATOR SETUP === Default device: "eth0"
[  128.084888] xinit[276]: ALTERATOR SETUP === IPv4: "192.168.88.216/24"
[  128.085110] xinit[276]: ALTERATOR SETUP === IPv6: "fe80::72b3:d5ff:fe92:f229/64"

To connect to the VNC server:

$ vncviewer 192.168.88.216
