[9acca9]

Hi. First time i try to use your work. Im connect to the raspberry pi zero w throug ssh. I install comit-up. And try to run comitup-cli but nothing happend. What could i try? Thanks.

In the log i have this:

2021-03-26 20:10:47,159 - comitup - INFO - Starting comitup
2021-03-26 20:10:59,002 - comitup - INFO - Starting comitup

And when trying:

 sudo comitup -c
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/comitup", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('comitup==1.17', 'console_scripts', 'comitup-cmd')()

    if wificheck.run_checks():

    testresult = testspec.testfn()

Comitup-cli will have to be restarted whenever comitup is restarted. It won't help here.

The line in question runs the command "nmcli device show", as root. Can you post the output of that command?

@davesteele HI. Thanks.

I have this from the command. It seems related to my language (spanish).

In "general state" probably says "sin gestión" with the ó. How i can fix this? Thanks for your time.

The special character is the problem, but it shouldn't be. The code should handle it. This is just hardware checking code. I'm going to just tolerate the error (a458fbe). If you would like to try this out, edit the file at /usr/share/comitup/comitup/wificheck.py on your system.

HI.Thanks. But, how i can edit the file. I mean what i have to write/comment out?? I comment out a lot of code and know in log hi have this.

Why activating hotspot all the time?? this is already connected to a wifi. Also when i do comitup-cli nothing happend.

[9acca9]

mmm, i just see this https://github.com/davesteele/comitup/wiki/Installing-Comitup now is working! Beatiful! Very useful!

ps.:i want to add a "text box" for saving info to a file, save that file in the raspberry pi. What file i need to touch?? Thanks.

[davesteele]

If you want to add to the comitup web interface (available only in hotspot mode), it's one of the files in "templates".

[davesteele]

HI.Thanks. But, how i can edit the file. I mean what i have to write/comment out??

For anyone else wanting to make this change, just make the first line of wificheck.py device_nm_managed() "return None", with the text indented four spaces.
