[SOLVED] issue with new version 8.3.6

[RanceHickman]

just booted off of version 8.3.6. I have it running RPi 3B+. when going into the "m" > configure, then clicking on "network" to add the wifi password it just sits and loads. nothing ever happens though. Has anyone had this issue? I had this working on the version before this.

Reboot and post the startup log.

It can be downloaded from the Logs section of System Config or printed via the command moodeutl -l

[RanceHickman]

where do I run that command?

I re flashed the image, and I got the network page to load. When i enter the password to the right wifi and hit save, it sites and loads. now it sites and loads when i go to any page under "m" > configure.

I have it hooked to my PC with Ethernet. when I load into the WEB IU, it says "Notice
An Access Point password needs to be entered"

I cant find a Password in in the GITHub setup guide or even where to enter a password in the WEB UI.

Below is from the Setup guide. Just use the Raspberry Pi Imager and you should be all set.

SECURITY AND OPERATING SYSTEM (OS) IMAGE

For improved security the OS image does not contain the userid pi, SSH service,
WiFi SSID or Access Point password.

- Use the official Raspberry Pi Imager to choose a moOde OS image, enable SSH,
  create a userid and password and optionally a WiFi SSID and password.

  *** READ THIS ***
  1. SSH and userid/password are REQUIRED for correct operation of moOde.
  2. Do not set the host name using the Imager. Refer to CUSTOM CONFIGURATIONS
     in this guide for information on changing the host name.

- An Access Point password can be set using the Network Configuration screen
  after accessing the moOde WebUI, or before first boot via a moodecfg.ini
  file as described in the CUSTOM CONFIGURATIONS section.

I have exactly this problem. When I enter an access point password, I can no longer access any of the menu items. Also: I am connected with fixed ethernet, so why do I need an access point password?

P S Apologies, I think I get it. Forgot to set the credentials with the RPi imager... :-|

The config script assumes that if you are not using wireless then you obviously want to set up an access point.  I simply wanted to disable both options so I disabled wireless by omitting the SSID and ignored the access message.  It clearly states that if you do not provide an SSID for wireless the the AP will be enabled.

Setting an AP password is for your benefit so you can access the system in case both Ethernet and WiFi are not available.
