Wifi and installing Nightly Build Not Working (solved)

caolanmck

When trying to install wicd on runeaudio, I get an error telling me that there isnt enough disk space in /var/logs. Expanded partitions and filespace, still the same. Tried updating to nightly build to see if wifi would then work, but it says that its refusing to delete /var/www/

(I am running a RasPi model B on version 0.3)

Forgot to mention, everything else works perfect over ethernet

Hi caolanmck,

- why installing a network manager?
- /var/log is tmpfs and not located on your sd card
- wifi works on the dev branch

Please try again to update to the dev branch (nightly builds).

I tried to install a network manager because I read in another forum that you use wicd to get wifi to work, and when i tried to install it, it said that /var/logs doesnt have enough memory.

In order to install the dev branch, do I absolutely need to delete /var/www/? The pi keeps saying "refused to delete"

just tried to connect to RuneUI, saying file not found, does this mean that it did in fact delete it?

(EDIT: I am currently downloading the update now, we'll see how it gets on...)

Ok, got the nightly build installed and working, and wifi worked perfectly, until now, its just throwing up a kernel panic on boot (EXT4-fs, partition 5 - error loading journal?)

Should I just reflash, reexpand partitions and filesystem, download nightly build and connect to wifi again?

Nice to hear that wifi works for you.

Should I just reflash, reexpand partitions and filesystem, download nightly build and connect to wifi again?

If you are familiar with linux, you can try to mount your card on an other linux machine and fix the corrupted journal.
But if i were you, i would start with a fresh installation.
