I don't see the ConnecttoConnect AP. Is there anything I can do to test it is running

Can you plug in a monitor and see what happens?

asiudoisjdfo commented 5 years ago

Same thing here. Doesnt show up. Boots up fine, startup.py is running as well as wpa_supplicant, dhcpd and dnsmasq. No hostapd. Am trying to troubleshoot :)

Are you on Jessie or Stretch Raspbian? I believe raspberry-pi-turnkey is not supported in Jessie (unfortunately). @schollz is there any plan to backport it for Jessie? If not could you add some basic guidelines to look into backporting it ourselves? I promise to document and report back if I make it. My problem is that Stretch seems too heavy for Pi Zero (Desktop needed too) and I'm thinking into going back to Jessie. Any guidance would be appreciated!

@gulliverrr No plans to backport, unfortunately. I will happily take a PR though

There wasn't really much of a backport as installation is identical (didn't need the optional steps so I skipped those). There must be something different for wpa_supplicant in Jessie as behaviour around line 109:

    result = subprocess.check_output(['wpa_supplicant',
                                      "-Dnl80211",
                                      "-iwlan0",
                                      "-c/" + testconf,
                                      "-f", wpalog,
                                      "-B",
                                      "-P", wpapid])

is different. So by sucrifising the unnecessary reboot if the credentials are wrong, I managed to have it running with these modifications from line 117 downwards:

    checkwpa = True
    valid_psk = True
    checkwpa = False

#    while checkwpa:
#        with open(wpalog, 'r') as f:
#            content = f.read()
#            if success in content:
#                valid_psk = True
#                checkwpa = False
#            elif fail in content:
#                valid_psk = False
#                checkwpa = False
#            else:
#                continue

This is not PR-worthy. Just a dirty hack I leave here for anyone on Jessie. My Pi Zero seems to struggle (with Desktop) on Stretch so I revert back to good old Jessie.

I am having similar problem (I think). Everything boots fine, all services running. status.json says hostapd status but my wifi on pc can't find ap. BTW: I am on buster on rpi4. The wlan0 ip is 192.168.4.1 as it should be.

What should I look for?
