Error when attaching ethernet adaptor #1191

Closed timoog closed 1 year ago

timoog commented 1 year ago

Raspberry Pi 2b + wifi usb dongle PiSCSI software version: 23.4.1 Fullspec board ssh to macbook pro

After running easy install option for wireless set up, in web interface attach ethernet adaptor and receive error:

Configure the network bridge for enxb827eb9faba9 first: /etc/dhcpcd.conf, /etc/network/interfaces.d/piscsi_bridge

also ran easy install option for wired network and again receive error:

Configure the network bridge for enxb827eb9faba9 first: /etc/dhcpcd.conf

Went to config and set Enable predictable network names reboot and still receive Configure the network bridge for enxb827eb9faba9 first: /etc/dhcpcd.conf

So I think the immediate issue is solved by correctly configuring the dhcpcd.conf ipv4 deny setting for the enxb827eb9faba9 interface here.

I put up a PR to improve the way we report the network bridge status in the Web UI, which should help with the misunderstanding: https://github.com/PiSCSI/piscsi/pull/1192

One additional improvement that could be made here, is to change the verbiage in easyinstall.sh to make it clearer that eth0 and wlan0 aren't the only potential options. Since the original confusion arose from the fact that when enabling "predictable interface names" for a Debian system, you get these enx and wlx + MAC address names instead.

The second improvement in this PR: https://github.com/PiSCSI/piscsi/pull/1193

With this change, the script will pick the first available (in the order that ip addr show lists them) linked network interface as the default. The grep filter now checks for the enx/wlx pattern as well so that it works with predictable names.

Improvements are merged to develop now. Please test & provide feedback if you find any other corner case that needs addressing!
