Closed mikecarr closed 7 years ago

The UI is stuck on wifisetup, not sure if this is a Pi Zero W thing or not. I am able to ssh into Pi but steps after are not run.

Apparently it does go through but takes a really long time, are there any logs ?

The WiFi Setup block can actually take a while to process, because it will wait up to 5 minutes trying to establish a network connection (after 5 minutes it will continue regardless).

This is because many people use a block that requires a network connection (such as Install Software, or Download File) straight after the WiFi Setup block, expecting the connection to be established.

Therefore to accomodate this, the WiFi setup block will enter the details into the wpa_supplicant.conf file, and then repeatedly try and ping google to see if a connection has been established, before continuing (and if 5 minutes passes and a connection hasn't been established, gives up and continues anyway).

Hope this shines a little light on the situation.

(And if you do want to check the logs, have a look at /boot/PiBakery/firstboot.log and /boot/PiBakery/everyboot.log)
