Automated installation failing on "connection test"

djjerdog · 16 August 2016 05:16

I’m attempting to create a headless install by enabling the Automation Options in dietpi.txt. However the install halts during “DietPi-Software” due to repeated failed “connection test” attempts.

“ifconfig” shows eth0 is up but has not obtained an IP, if I run “dhclient eth0” the interface is able to obtain an IP, at that point I can “exit” and it will continue with the rest of the install. Also, rebooting will obtain an IP and the install will finish. Any ideas what the issue might be?

Hardware: Odroid-C2

Hi,

Might be, your DHCP Server on LAN react to slow or your LAN performance is bad (packet loss).
DHCP Server is a …?

Could also be https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/blob/master/dietpi/boot#L171. We dont currently wait for dhclient to terminate. Maybe preventing it from restarting cleanly.

I’ve modified the boot script to fix the above, and debug a little. Can you:

Write a fresh DietPi image
Download this file, and place into /boot/dietpi/boot
Set automation settings and power on.

Can you also upload your dietpi.txt aswell please, remove any keys/pw’s?

Hi,

Yes, killall -w can as well do the trick!

C2 are booting and working really so dammed fast!

As you probably know, the C2+EMMC is a beast combination. I have one powered up every day for DietPi testing and coding. I couldn’t live without one now. When I power up a RPi 3, even with the SD card overclock, it feels like a snail, everytime.

djjerdog · 18 August 2016 03:00

Success! I burned a new image with the modified boot file and while it did still fail the connection test 3 or 4 times it then past and continued on.

I notice the connection test says “Max duration of 20 seconds…” but it only seems to wait maybe 1-2 seconds, is this how it is supposed to perform or is that something also to do with the speed of the C2?

Thank you!

Hi,

Thanks for the report.
Yep, it shouldn’t take 1-2 seconds, could be a bug in the code, i’ll take a look.

I have the same error on raspberry pi model B on first boot. Wifi adapter - asus usb n13. Dietpi v130. On previous versions all was working fine. What do i need to do?

k-plan · 16 September 2016 16:01

Hey,

what is output of:

ping 8.8.4.4

ping heise.de

ip a

tohax · 16 September 2016 18:54

Ehternet disabled in dietpi.txt, but it exists in .network file, and no wlan0 string.

k-plan · 17 September 2016 12:46

Hi,

which image did you use? DietPi_RPi-armv6-(Jessie) or DietPi_RPi-armv6-(Wheezy) ?

Whats did Network Options: Adapters shows in dietpi-config ?

What happens, when you hit “Scan and connect”

On which wifi channel runs your accesspoint/wifi-router ?

WiFi country code is set ?

Output from:

lsusb

cat /etc/network/interfaces

tohax · 17 September 2016 15:56

I am using DietPi_RPi-armv6-(Jessie). When i hit “Scan and connect” it find my ssid, then i enter password, and during network service restarting i get errors (NETLINK: error: invalid argument) and network is not working. If i choose DHCP then “scan and connect” and continue, i am getting IP address and other parameters, and network start working. But i need static network parameters applying during 1st boot. I think, that set WiFi country code is not necessary(am i wrong?) i tried set it up to RU and US, but it is not solve the problem. I have TP-Link 1043 nd v1 router with openwrt. WiFi working on 11 channel. but i tried others - no result. Do you have jessie v127 image? Because on v127 ALL working fine. Maybe new kernel is the problem or drivers for RTL8192?(my wifi adapter) Thanks for your help!

Have create a github issue for this: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/515

Solution at the moment:

only use DHCP for wifi

\

UPDATE

Testing again with same config but DietPi_v127_RPi-armv6-(Jessie).img

Result:

booting up with static IP on wifi and disabled ethernet ==>> IP address and IP connection will work ==> auto-update to DietPi_v130
switching via dietpi-config to DHCP ==>> IP address and IP connection will work
