No WiFi network available on Pi 3

  • I have a Pi 3 and have downloaded the only image I can find from https://sourceforge.net/projects/openmediavault/files/ under "Raspberry Pi Images" the download was OMV_3_0_88_RaspberryPi_2_3_4.9.41.img.xz


    Once installed and root password changed: no Wifi or wlan0 network is available, several tips on the forum advise on checking with ifconfig and even adding wlan0 config to the \etc\network... After numerous attempts and reinstalling a fresh image I'm still having no luck with any way to use WiFi.


    Upgraded/Updated install as well (using LAN) and it appears to now be on ver: 3.0.94 but again no luck on any form of WiFi adapter being recognized. I use the same Pi with other Jessie images and wifi is fine, even attempted nmtui-connect but it fails with ERROR as well.


    On boot, I notice on both installs, several FAIL messages in the boot sequence about "Arbitrary Executable File Format File System" as well as others that roll by too fast...

  • On https://sourceforge.net/projec…/Raspberry%20Pi%20images/ there's clearly written:


    Code
    Write the .img.xz image in a single step using Etcher https://etcher.io
    to SD card. On first boot the installation will be finished. REMAIN PATIENT
    PLEASE since this can take up to 30 minutes with a slow SD card and slow
    internet connection (needs internet access to update all packages to latest
    version). After one automatic reboot green activity led stops blinking and
    then your Raspberry Pi is ready!

    Simply start over again, remain patient, wait for the reboot, enjoy OMV 3.0.94 without you needing to do anything (except waiting) and use Wi-Fi then (way too slow for data transfers anyway since crappy onboard antenna and 2.4GHz band only)

  • Followed it step by step...

    Steps are

    • burn image with Etcher
    • connect Raspberry Pi to Ethernet (needs Internet connection on first boot)
    • insert SD card, power on board, wait until green led stops blinking (this is after the reboot)
    • check OMV UI, it has to report latest OMV 3 version (3.0.94 at the time of this writing) and latest RPi kernel version (something above 4.9.41)

    If step 4 displays anything else something with steps 1 to 3 went wrong (your Wi-Fi will never work) and you have to start over again. The above procedure is not important wrt Wi-Fi (since too slow anyway) but to get a fully working OMV install on Raspberries.

  • ok I have to admit I didn't wait for the reboot before logging in, however, this time with new SD card and fresh image, I waited (time was about 20 min.) and after reboot and root login, I'm still not showing wlan0 under network setting on web interface or CLI. Kernel is 4.9.59 ver 7 but OMV version is showing as 3.0.79 (Erasmus) it seemed to hang after the reboot at the BSD connection.

    • Offizieller Beitrag

    ok, after doing the "apt upgrade" the version is updated and with ifconfig its now showing the wlan0 for the first time. In the web interface its not showing but I think i'm close enough now. may be that since its not connected to wifi its not present.

    Did you add the wireless adapter in the Network Interfaces tab?

    Please don't PM for support... Too many PMs!

  • Sorry for the user change from jell.barclay.


    After following your install instructions from 12/4 I have had a fully functional OMV working with a few glitches when trying to save changes - That being said, after running for about 2 weeks with little intervention, I was unable to ssh into it, permissions denied error after no conf changes - also became locked out of web interface several times. noted several "FALED boot up lines" the most notable was the ttyS1.service error that kept it from booting on several attempts.


    After hours of frustration I decided with numerous thing unstable to reinstalled on new SD CARD allowing for complete updates prior to login. After initial login, current version is 3.0.94 and kernel: 4.9.41-v7+


    Without any other changes I opened journalctl -xb and below is a condensed list of the errors on boot. I'm sure some are normal, but seems the ttyS1 seems to be a known issue is several forum users... can you help me understand which ones are acceptable to have and which ones could impact that stability of my install being a usable solution?

  • Did you accidently write that 3 times?


    Did you change anything before it stopped working?


    Did you use ths shutdown button as the SD card can be come corrupted if pulled while R/W.

    Raspberry Pi 2 and 3, Quad-core processor, 1 GB of RAM.

  • 1 no
    2 no it was sitting dormant
    3 I did but thats not to say the card was not corrupt.


    the log I posted id from a fresh install on a new SD card! - every install I do ends up with the same results... are there supposed to be "some" errors based on versions of the Pi or should every boot be without errors?

  • Steps are

    • burn image with Etcher
    • connect Raspberry Pi to Ethernet (needs Internet connection on first boot)
    • insert SD card, power on board, wait until green led stops blinking (this is after the reboot)
    • check OMV UI, it has to report latest OMV 3 version (3.0.94 at the time of this writing) and latest RPi kernel version (something above 4.9.41)

    If step 4 displays anything else something with steps 1 to 3 went wrong (your Wi-Fi will never work) and you have to start over again. The above procedure is not important wrt Wi-Fi (since too slow anyway) but to get a fully working OMV install on Raspberries.

    • check
    • check
    • check yesterday he had about 6H time

    i will try it again


    the installation with or without the wifi dongle?

  • i cant see the Wifi dongle attached to the raspberry under ifconfig

    Why does everyone plays around with ifconfig? Better check/provide the output of


    Code
    lsusb
    iwconfig
    dmesg
    nmtui-connect

    If your dongle is supported by the RPi kernel then the last command should allow you to join a wireless network: New approach for Raspberry Pi OMV images (and if you then connect your board with both Wi-Fi and Ethernet to the same network you'll run into funny problems later once you disconnect Ethernet :) )

  • Why does everyone plays around with ifconfig?


    Experience with other solution, better or worst i dont know, just wanted to express thats on other solutions it worked and how.
