+jedimatt42 Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 Until I get a new image out, people should use Raspberry PI Imager and have it set the wifi settings while flashing the SD card. Hopefully I can fix this all this weekend. Apparently PI.CONFIG needs to be reimplemented to issue nmcli commands instead of manipulating wpa_supplicant files. I will also fix my testing notes to give me more fear around testing wifi. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/277635-tipi-usage-and-support/page/106/#findComment-5484143 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrhodes Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I guess I'm just going to sit here on tipi version 3.25 for awhile, it's doing everything I need. If my Pi3b+ ever dies, I guess I'll try to get another; failing that, I'll have to pick up a Pi4. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/277635-tipi-usage-and-support/page/106/#findComment-5484171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 I would like to understand how to read that. Could @jrhodes clarify please? It seems to me that you took the time to say something that literally goes without saying. Maybe this was literal, and just not thoughtful with regard to the audience. Or maybe this was a solicitation to find others that are not x.0 adopters. Or maybe this was an attempt at a ward to others? All of the above, and whatever other reason is fine, I would just like to know how to read the posts in this forum. 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/277635-tipi-usage-and-support/page/106/#findComment-5484730 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was meant literally; I'm happy with my tipi the way it is and don't see a reason to update. No, I'm not trying to stop anyone from upgrading to the latest version.

+dhe Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 My starlink went out a couple of weeks ago, in the process of bring everything backup, I was unable to access tipi's web page... I saw a lot of these in the log: root@gen-tipi:~# tail -F /var/log/daemon.log un 15 11:54:00 gen-tipi avahi-daemon[343]: Registering new address record for 192.168.2.206 on wlan0.IPv4.

And before that Avahi was complaining about duplicate hostname. I decided maybe the best thing to do was just disable avahi. sudo systemctl mask avahi-daemon sudo systemctl disable avahi-daemon sudo systemctl stop avahi-daemon I could still ssh, but not go to the webpage. O'yea, need to add the port :9900, I book marked that URL for future reference!

+jedimatt42 Posted June 17 Author Share Posted June 17 @dhe, So this sounds like a solution without a problem? It seems avahi was just doing its job. What problem was solved by disabling avahi? Just log messages that made you suspicious? I do not recommend others disable avahi.

I believe 'RELDATE' in tstat (Geneve) is the value from PI.STATUS, the python side date. This is entirely different from the EPROM build date that is in the ROM.

The program by default doesn't display the status info as its purpose is to compare the version and latest values, alert the user when an update is available, and facilitate an update. Some may recall I had DSR problems a while ago because I wasn't diligently checking the version numbers, hence this program is intended to help users (Geneve) stay current. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/277635-tipi-usage-and-support/page/106/#findComment-5488827 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 Update 4.1 - 2024-06-19 - Fix web-ui 'daemon logs' page to show data from journalctl since last boot, as daemon.log is not used on bookworm - Fix PI.CONFIG ( and TIPICFG indirectly ) to delegate to: raspi-config nonint do_wifi_ssid_passphrase <ssid> <passphrase> 1 - includes 5 retries cause WiFi... and bad antennae. This should solve configuring wifi for most US users. Including those with hidden SSIDs. Your network must be reachable for the settings to persist in the OS NetworkManager. Succeeding, and getting to an assigned ip address can take a bit. This is asynchronous from writing to PI.CONFIG as it is handed off to the service that runs as root. But it should work. It uses a documented feature of raspi-config, so I would expect them to preserve this functionality. I'll produce a new sd image soon, but not today. 4 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/277635-tipi-usage-and-support/page/106/#findComment-5488920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris36 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Anyone try to use the "standard" Raspberry Pi standoff kit? The screws are metric M2.5, or 2.5 mm diameter. According to my web search, #2 screws are 2.18 mm. So I would need to know if the holes drilled in the TIPI (PEB version from @arcadeshopper) are oversized enough to accommodate the 2.5 mm screws.
