[WiFi does [not] work in Jessie.]

With all due respect, that's not helpful.

[.Desktop configuration]

Hello.

using Armbian 5.16 opipc+

 

I have used ''create launcher'' from the desktop to be able to connect to wpa2 wifi.

I have rebooted around 6 times and is working each time.

I have to launch two in series.

first starts wpa_supplicant

second starts dhclient

success!.

 

I tried adding them to the startup,(wishful thinking)

 

so.

each time i run them from the desktop, it launches terminal and asks for PW. because command has

and requires sudo.

 

does anybody know how i can get around this?, it would be amazing if i could have them auto run,

next best would be without terminal asking for PW.

 

no i don't know how to write scripts.

 

I'm pretty happy with just the two clicks, however i need to set up another opipc+ for my little brother.

I'd like to make it as easy as possible for him.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

is there a way to remove wicd completely and reinstall it without tears?.

[WiFi does [not] work in Jessie.]

disconnect, connect, FAIL.

i managed to connect manually through terminal - wpa_supplicant earlier today and it worked, once.

in other distros built ontop of 5.14 & 5.15, the built-in wifi(opipc+) does not work, however my usb dongle works fine

and with wpa.

my usb dongle does not work in 5.14>5.16.

i don't want to use it anyway.

ok, for some reason, i changed the code in wireless-settings.conf and connected, i rebooted to make sure it was still working

it failed the first time then worked the second time, now i see wicd keeps renewing the contents with something old,

even details of a hotspot i tried with my phone.

I have it working, I'm using it to type this.

Where is wicd getting the data from to delete any changes i make. it can't just be the current available networks,

it is putting details from a network that hasn't been active for a week.

how do i tell wicd to shutup and do what i tell it?.

I'm going have to look at this again tomorrow, the code is now the same in my backup and my current, it wasn't, that's why i changed it.

I don't know if you can see originals before edit, but it was meant to be the not working original code

and the now working code until i copied them and realised it was now the same.

How do you connect to a wpa network?.

[Armbian SD card backup]

great read guys!,I have copied my opi emmc onto a usb stick, i wonder if i can use resize2fs -m on ubuntu(pc) and then be able to burn it onto smaller sd card. I'll be back to re-read...2..or 145 times.

[Wicd Network Manager doesn't get IP Address]

I guess I'll have to learn how to compile my own script.bin or kernel, I don't know where the problem actually is.

how do i use these patches to fix wpa2?

[Prepare v5.15]

I just did update, built-in wifi still can't connect to wpa2 wifi network.

 

[Boot from eMMC with blank SD in slot (BPI-M3)]

Just what i was looking for, this will allow me to use sd card as just extra storage of my choice, like any external drive? ....right?

[Copy EMMC to SD]

yep, image copied to usb but is bigger than my sd card( emmc is just a tiny bit bigger than sd)can't resize online, booted from sd, emmc doesn't show in dev, tried to umount based on knowing the dev name, device busy. fiddle sticks.

[Copy EMMC to SD]

Hello,
I am trying to copy my system from emmc to sd so i can install my current system on another OP.

First problem was that when I am booting from emmc, sd card doesn't show up (fdisk -l).

So i gave up on doing it that way and now i am copying to usb flash drive as image so i can re burn to sd and use in second OP

I believe the image is going to be the entire 7.3gb of the emmc.

Is there an easy way to undo the fs_resize?

EG sudo fs_resize -"back to minimal option here"

I'm hoping that will make the image smaller.

 

or maybe a dd option?


thanks.

 

[Wifi Down after last update]

No luck, I've tried practically every setting....  my key appears to be HEX I'm not sure if that's coincidence or not, my wifi is wpa2, should i be using wpa 1/2 hex ?

[Wifi Down after last update]

do you mean "preferences" "advanced" "wpa supplicant" "driver: none" ?

[Wifi Down after last update]

OP-PC+ at home, Armbian 5.14, i think it is WICD.

[Wifi Down after last update]

my built-in wifi won't connect with secure network, works fine on open wifi, always says bad password on wpa2 network.
