UI Wait on Wifi

ian2000t

I have 2 Raspberry Pi's on Wifi both running the same build of Rune Audio (build: beta-20141027). Both on the same network and router, but both using different manufacturers of USB Wifi.

I have a problem connecting to both devices intermittently. When I load the page (by IP address) sometimes it does not connect. I have to keep refreshing the page a few times until it loads. Once it's loaded generally it works fine then on.

It's almost like the Wifi is going into sleep mode, and only listening once every couple of minutes - or something to that effect. Does that sound possible? If so, is there a Wifi setting I can change somewhere?

some hints, even not exact for this OS but should put you on right path

Hi ian2000t,

i first would check if power management for your wifi dongle is enabled / disabled.
You can find this info in your debug data (MENU->Debug)

###### Network wifi status (iwconfig) ######
lo        no wireless extensions.
 
eth0      no wireless extensions.
 
ifb0      no wireless extensions.
 
ifb1      no wireless extensions.

          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Power Management should be off.

Hi

In a other project based in archlinux, disable power management Was not suffisant.
Have a look to systemctl status avahi-daemon
If you have a mdns issue ... Verify /Var/run and /var/lock are symbolic links
the issue is that i solve it with pacman -Suy.... With is not compliant with runeaudio
I don't try to redo directly links

Regards
