I don’t think that it’s a problem to work with the USB pendrive, as I could clone bit-wise the entire pendrive into the SSD whenever I want.
I already did it the first time, I set up everything on the pendrive and then moved all into the SSD with a dd command.
I hoped that the hive-replace command could solve my issues in the first place. But now not even a fresh new install can solve them, and this was my last chance for what I know I can do.
This is exactly how I did the last installation. I downloaded the zip from the website and flashed the usb pendrive with etcher. I then inserted the pendrive into the rig and started a fresh new OS. I used the same rig ID I had in the previous installation and after logging in I had the exact same 2 issues as before, like I didn’t reinstalled at all.
I have access via the web interface. I can have physical access to the rig but it’s very difficult and can be done just some specific days of the month.
This is how I discovered the selfupgrade command error. I just tried to update as usual with the web interface and i got an error. The error should also be in one of the screenshots above.
This is what I already did. I downloaded and flashed using a brand new USB pendrive, bought just for this purpose using a windows computer that was always only used occasionally for office work (just writing documents and social media).
I don’t have anything against you, but in the last replies I just re-answered the same questions I answered before and I just did again all the steps I already did before, just to continue the conversation with you.
Just for contest, I’m a computer engineer, not a novice computer user. So I know very well how computer and operative systems work. I was here to find some deep technical HiveOS-specific help that I could miss.
So any good standard practice to avoid simple external or internal corruption has been already taken.
P.S. I’m appreciating your help anyway, I wrote it just to avoid any further time waste for both.
Try reflashing the new drive, and booting from it on your office pc, (assuming this is in a different network/firewall etc. )if everything works as intended, like selfupgrade, then you know your issue is a bad actor on the other network.
Or use a pc that’s on a seperate network to test boot into hive and update and such.
If that doesn’t work, I would try making a fresh hive account and replicating the above process. If that works then sounds like someone has access through your account (maybe you didn’t revoke the bad actor session? Etc)
