I completed the Raspi setup successfully
Graphical GUI or console run well. I can start either way
WiFi fine and I can access the internet with the browser Chromium. The WiFi was defined in the Pi-Star imager.

However I cannot start the Pistar Utility/configuration. . In my understanding of the first start after flashing, the Pi-star config should start automatically.
The configuration itself (after it would start) would be clear to me. But I am rather weak with Linux

http://pi-star.local oder http://192.168.1.162 (mein Raspi) --> "can't be reached"
"raspberry.local" or this local IP Adresse "refused to connect".

Problem mit dem "Cannot be reached" oder *raspberrypi.local refused to connect"

Ich habe das Raspberry set-up erfolgreich beendet.
Grafische Oberfläche und Console laufen OK
WLAN OK, kann via Rasbberry-WLAN ins Internet.

Ich kann aber die Pistar Utility/Konfiguration nicht starten . Alles weitere wäre mir klar und ich kenner DMR.
Bei Linux bin ich aber schwach.

"raspberry.local" oder die lokale IP Adresse "refused to connect". Im imager habe ich das passwort angegeben.

Seit Tagen stehe ich vor dieser Mauer. Ich dachte es sei so einfach, wie auf der pistar.uk-Seite beschrieben. Viele Videos scheinen zu zeigen, dass es auch einfach ist...

Danke für eine Antwort und 73

Re-Image your PIStar

Thanks.
I have done that 5 times at least with 2 different SD cards.
Is the browser relevant? How can I turn off a possible feature? I am using the Raspi default browser Chromium.

NOTE: I have no idea of what the original post states other than the quoted error message text...

Unless you are using TWO R-Pi units, with one running a graphical interface since Pi-Star does not have one, you don't use the R-Pi to run the browser... You use some OTHER computer web-browser on the same LAN to connect to the R-Pi.

Another possibility: some WiFi routers do not allow for LAN<>LAN connections, only LAN<>Internet, as a security feature (this is how most "public" WiFi access points are configured -- to prevent clients from making attempts to connect to other clients).

Sory, original post was in german....

And that is where I get lost...

Pi-Star does NOT INSTALL X-window system. It does not have a GUI running on the R-Pi. As such, it can not run browsers or other graphical application /on the R-Pi itself/.
If you have a Pi-Star installation that is running a graphical interface, you have a non-standard installation, and debugging it goes beyond the local knowledge here.

And furthermore, I don't think one can setup WiFi when using the custom image selection from the Pi (not Pi-Star) Imager.

Did you download the correct image? <http://www.pistar.uk/downloads/Pi-Star_ ... t-2021.zip>

Did you select that downloaded image under the "custom image" section of Pi-Imager?

And after burning that image, did you follow the instructions for creating the Wifi access info? <https://www.pistar.uk/wifi_builder.php>
