Decided to do one final test:
I did an overwrite format first. But when trying it on another pi's SD card, it didn't work.
Yeah. Same thoughts here. I burned a 4.0 to one of my hotspots SD cards and it worked immediately. Guess I'll have to revert back to 4.0 on 2 of my devices.KE0FHS wrote:Decided to do one final test:It worked just fine, booting up and connecting straightaway to my wireless network.
- Used the same ZUMspot + RPi 3A+ hotspot as with the previous failed test with 4.1.0-RC1
- Used the same microSD card as with the previous failed test with 4.1.0-RC1
- Used the same wpa_supplicant.conf file as with the previous failed test with 4.1.0-RC1
- But used the 4.0.0-RC4 image that I still had saved on my PC
This tells me there is an issue with 4.1-RC1.
Good detective work! I don't know how I can install this package on the Pi Zero W but I'm hoping that Andy can roll a new pi-star image with this included.KE7FNS wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 4:53 amHey, you wanna try something really quick and see what happens? I don't have a Zero to test.
You are going to need to connect to network though, so maybe tried wired and then run this:I was able to get my 4.1 hotspot to act correctly the instant I reinstalled that package, it started resolving network hosts right away.Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install openresolv
For some reason Andy removed that package, I'm guessing he was trying to downsize the image, and I'm 99% certain that is the culprit.
Thats weird, I removed that due to the issues it was causing - fun times, I've removed the new image until I can fix up the issues.KE7FNS wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 4:53 amHey, you wanna try something really quick and see what happens? I don't have a Zero to test.

Well done! I'm impressed with how quickly you figured this out.
I went ahead and tried this with an RPi 3B+ based hotspot (so I could use a wired connection to my network), but I got an error message. Any ideas?KE7FNS wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 4:53 amHey, you wanna try something really quick and see what happens? I don't have a Zero to test.

Package openresolv is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'openresolv' has no installation candidateI run sudo apt-get update on a regular basis on my RPi computer in my shack, but I've never run it on any of my Pi-Star hotspot RPi boards. I didn't even know that was possible. I do run sudo pistar-update on a regular basis, though I didn't in this case, since I was working on a brand new install.KE7FNS wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2019 12:59 am Have you run a "sudo apt-get update" recently? Normally its kinda assumed you run that before other apt-get install commands, so I kinda didn't mention it. Sorry about that, but it might be that theres a serious issue with that package and they've removed it from the repo. I'll have to take a look and see if I can find any info on it.
