WLAN connection issue

[Indiasieben]

Using the openvario shell program for connecting my mobile via wlan with my openvario everything work fine until I send my pin code from the mobile to the openvario. After sending the code the mobile wasn't seenable for the OV and also the menu point WLAN disappeared in the Openvario shell program.

Hm, I don't quite understand the problem. Especially about sending the "pin code" part.

What kind of pin code did you send and why? Do you mean the wifi password? If it was wifi password, how did it work fine before you've sent it?

Hi Andrey, yes, it was the wifi password of the mobile which the OV needs to connect with the mobile. The whole story: I installed the image 21125 from Blaubart which has your menu sw on board. After the installation I tried to connect the mobile via the OV-shell using the WLAN modus. The mobile was decteced and the wifi password was requested. I used a keyboard for typing in the password of the mobile (hotspot). After sending the password to the OV the connection was gone and also the possibility of WLAN disappeared in the OV-shell. Hopefully the situation is now a little more clearer for you. Thanks a lot for all your famous work you are doing for OV. Kind Regards Bernd   Gesendet: Dienstag, 11.

Hm, this is weird. Did you try pressing the refresh button after that failed attempt to set the password? Did you see any error messages at the bottom of the OV screen? Does the tethered wifi network appear again if you go back from connection app and start it again?

The wifi connection app is probably the most complex thing in openvario-shell, I expect it to still have some bugs. If we will figure this out, we can make it more robust.

Btw, did you ever try to connect to wifi from command line with connmanctl? I wonder how that would work in your case.

Should I try to connect the mobile with the "normal" procedure via exit to shell?

Yes, try this: exit to shell, and then start connmanctl. There type these commands:

> scan wifi
... wait a bit ...
> services

If you see your mobile hotspot in the list, type:

> agent on
> connect wifi_...

You can press tab to autocomplete the last command.

Then exit the connmanctl and try to run

ping 8.8.8.8

If pings return, you are online. If you can get this far, it probably means there's some bug in the ovshell. We can try to figure it out, but first I'd like to make sure the basics work.

okay, I will do it as discribed and give a feedback to you asap. Stay safe and healthy. BR Bernd   Gesendet: Dienstag, 11.

Good morning Andrey, just a question from a simple user: exit connmanctl with esc or what have I to do? Best Regards Bernd     Gesendet: Dienstag, 11.

I usually press Ctrl-D, but I think there is a command, like "quit" or "exit". Also try typing "help".

Hi Andrey, this afternoon I tried to carry out the way you discribed but I failed before. I started with the restore and backup procedure to add some additional files (airspace and waypoints). This worked in a normal way. Then I tried a make an additional backup on a new usb stick which has no structure. This failed because the ov doesn't identify the usb stick. Next step I looked into your main menu and tried to connect my iphone once again because the item wifi was back again. Don't ask me why! I choosed my iphone and was asked for the password of the hotspot of the iphone. I keyed it in via keyboard, pressed the return key and then at the bottom of the display: "invaled character." was shown and the whole system was freezed. After making a cold start the whole setting were lost and the remote stick wasn't identified. The failure message which was displayed is shown in the pictures I added. It looks like if the ov is storing something like an address of the keyboard and doesn't accept the the remote stick anymore. Strange! Can you help me? Kind Regards Bernd     Gesendet: Mittwoch, 12.

@Indiasieben I don't see any pictures. You are replying to a github email and github converts them into comments to the github issue. You can upload the image via the github or send me personally to andrey.lebedev@gmail.com.

It looks like if the ov is storing something like an address of the keyboard and doesn't accept the the remote stick anymore. Strange!

I'm not sure how the remote stick issue can be related to wifi - I suspect it is not related. What did you try to fix this issue? Did you try to watch logs and see what is printed out when you insert the stick into usb slot? Try journalctl -f in the console.

[Indiasieben]

First I tried to chance the usb port without success. Then I configuered the settings of ov with the keyboard. Then I shut down the ov, disconnect the keyboard, connect the remote stick again and booted the ov again without success. The keyboard was identified immediately after changing from remote stick to keyboard. I will try to carry out the watch logs tomorrow. Feedback will come asap. Thanks a lot for your help.
