4 years ago If you started with a "Lite" install, and followed these instructions, I would expect it to work. Some things to check:
- You should be using a Pi model with built in Wifi. USB adapters typically don't support AP mode.
- If you have a USB adapter plugged in, try it with it removed.
- Do you have evidence that it is booting? At a minimum, the front light should flicker for a while before settling down. If not, look into seeing if the SD card is formatted correctly.
- On a stock install, the Ethernet should negotiate DHCP. Can you coordinate a hard connection to the Pi? If so:
- Is the comitup service running? (systemctl status comitup)?
- Are there any errors or Tracebacks in /var/log/comitup.log?
- Are there any errors in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/daemon.log related to comitup, NetworkManager, dnsmasq, or dhcp?
- What happens if you use "sudo comitup-cli" to manage connections?
- Any insights from inspecting "nmcli con", "ip addr", or "ip route"?
Note that I use a Comitup spin iso. It is pretty much identical to a Raspbian with comitup installed, and /etc/net/work/interfaces edited to remove the Wifi interface.

I have fresh copy of Rasbian Buster Lite installed on my Raspberry Pi. I have Python, PIP 3 installed as well. I followed your instructions to install. The install say that it complete however the hotspot does not pop up on none of my machines.
sudo apt-get install comitup
