[PROBLEM] Wifi / setup / configuration guide

I have no idea why the WiFi subsystem is trying to initialize the peer-to-peer interface (p2p-dev-wlan0). This is only for "WiFi Direct" usage, not for connecting a WiFi "station" (your moOde player) to an WiFi access point. I've never seen this in my systems. It'll take a little time to figure out how you got here.

It's curious that your screenshot shows no wpa_supplicant process was running when you started this exercise. Do you see any relevant error messages in the logs, such as in /var/log/syslog, or in the output from the dmesg command?

It's also curious that your screenshot shows a line break in the middle of the command I suggested even though there's no comparable break in the subsequent lines which would suggest it is just line wrapping. I have to guess it was entered correctly because there's no error message of the form

Code:

Failed to open config file '/etc/wpa_supplicant/wp', error: No such file or directory
Failed to read or parse configuration '/etc/wpa_supplicant/wp'

You might try the command again for good measure, making sure that the entire command is entered as one line.

How about some background information:

Is this a vanilla install of the latest moOde iso? Other than making selections in the moOdeUI menus have you made any changes to it, say from the command line? What is your access point/router---make and model? When you are configuring the WiFi interface, does the scan function show your AP SSID in the results or are you entering the SSID manually?

Instead of a screenshot, how about attaching the entire text of the System Information output? You can generate this output from the command line with

Code:

moodeutl -s

(yes, it's long.)

Also, attach the contents of the file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. It's autogenerated by moOde so this is just a check.

Here's an example from my player (with the AP SSID edited and the psk obscured):

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
#########################################
# This file is automatically generated by
# the player Network configuration page.
#########################################

country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
ssid="MyAP"
scan_ssid=1
psk=5d3eeae34c0616d09ce5e1<my obscured psk>24e71a10fd212489cdc7eb887
}

Like I said, this may take a little time to sort.

PS - before anyone asks, I can infer that you have not disabled the internal WiFi adapter from the wpa_supplicant output.
