Problem with Wifi

cassius36

Hi,
I am french, so I beg your pardon for my english.
Wifi does not run on my Raspberry pi2.
Is it necessary to plug a screen to look and modify the system for installing the dongle?
Thanks in advance.

Hi cassius36,

welcome to RuneAudio.

Wifi does not run on my Raspberry pi2.

What do you mean with "does not run"?
Does it show up on the UI?

To get the best possible support, please specify your hardware and RuneAudio version. Collecting debug info is also suggested.

In your case brand and model of your wifi dongle would be very helpfull.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I mean that it does not works.
I think i have installed the last version of RuneAudio.
I try to send you a picture of my dongle but it seems too big to be sent via this website.
Thanks a lot.
Cassius

Precision : RuneAudio works fine with wired ethernet... But not with Wifi!

Hi,

can you see your wifi dongle on the UI?

Like here wlan0 is my wifi dongle.

If not, then it is not recognized by the system (Arch Linux).
Try to get access to the console and post the output from:

lsusb

- Get access to the console::
There are two ways to get access to the console:

1.) plug in a monitor and a keyboard
2.) use SSH from your PC
- If you are not familiar with SSH read this for Windows or this for Linux/MacOS
  The default login for RuneAudio is "root" with the password "rune" (without quotes).

The screen is exactly the same.
When i write "Lsusb" i see : "Bus 001 Device 004: ID 148f :5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter

What can I do now ?

Hi,

sometimes it's really hard to help.

OK, your screen looks like mine.
What happens when you click on that wlan0 button?
What is your exact problem?
Please post your debug info (see my first post)!
Please post the output from:

 iwlist wlan0 scanning

Here you can find a step by step instruction on configuring a wifi profile.

Hello,
My problem is resolved.
I apologize because I had not read carefully enough the configuration guide for parametrage wifi ! The dongle WiPi works fine immediatly.
...But... I have another problem : I can't use Spotify. I don't know how to join my account and listen music on line. Runeaudio ask me to add music in the queue! I do have music on a USB key and hard disk but I want also to listen music on the web.
Thanks in advance!
