I just installed Volumio 3.165 on a Raspberry Pi 4 that previously had version 2.915 installed.
At the end of the “first wizard config” I had the working system.
The problems I encounter are these 2:
at every restart I find the wifi turned off. Luckily I have installed the “Touch Display” plugin and I can turn it back on directly from the Raspberry.
For completeness of information, both the wifi and the wired network (cable not connected) are set with static IP.
I can’t activate access via SSH. I created both the ssh file inside the /boot folder and activate SSH through the /dev page but access is always disabled.
Is there any workaround especially to solve the wifi problem?
I’m sure that the IP is correct because I use it for access the web GUI.
The most annoying thing is that I need to enable the wireless interface at every reboot.
As you can see I can reach the web GUI, I can ping the IP but SSH doesn’t work.
I confirm that in /boot folder is present a file named “ssh” (without quotes).
I don’t think because with Volumio 2.xx it has worked flawless until I’ve updated it to version 3.
For me is always possible to access via SSH other machine on the same network so I don’t think that WF can be the culript.
In order not to leave anything out, however, I also tried with Windows Firewall disabled.
Considering that you may have network issues, can you check the “seconds between keepalives” setting in the “Connection” category in the putty settings? If it is 0, you could try with 5.
The mystery of SSH is solved:
in the /etc/ssh folder there was still the old sshd_config file that referred to some HostKeys no longer present.
For some strange reason the upgrade to version 3 deleted these old keys but left the old config file in place.
After reinstalling Volumio 3 from scratch on an empty SD card the problem no longer occurred and now SSH works correctly.
Unfortunately, however, even a clean installation did not solve the problem of wifi not activating after a reboot.
just gonna chime in, i have a Raspi3b with a Hifi Berry Amp2 and run system 3.198
after a shutdown or reboot wifi disables itself, additionally SSH seems to also disable on every reboot.
IF i connect to ethernet i can connect to the device and re-enable wifi in the web GUI and then i can disconnect the ethernet cable and access the web GUI via wifi and the device will work correctly.
any recommendations and or things i should try to collect and post?
EDIT: I have been playing around with this trying to figure out what is going on and I may have found an interesting connection. it seems that when the Pi is rebooted or shutdown without an ethernet connection, when it comes back up, the WiFi is disabled. However, if i reboot/shutdown WITH an ethernet connection left it, the Pi comes back up with WiFi still enabled.
what is going on here?
Unfortunately I have the same WiFi problem.
Volumio I am using for years. I had to reinstall Volumio and now WiFi every times disables itself.
Tried the latest version in a 3 and 4, same result, went back to latest volumio version 2 same problem. In my network nothing is changed. Tried all day, all kind of versions of Volumio and Raspi’s. I get nuts. In the past years never having this kind of problems.
Don’t know what to do anymore…
After updating to the latest Volumio, I have a problem with breaking the wifi connection. Music plays for about 30 minutes. and no connection. The cable connection is ok.
I did the installation clean, on a new card.
Everything is fine on Volumio 2.197. Previous versions didn’t have this problem either, and I have USbridge Sig. for over two years now.
The USB card is TP-LINK TL-WN722N. Maybe a newer card I need to buy? Which of the new drivers does not require Volumio?
