The internal wifi works fine. on boot however it fails, after the system has booted up it works fine. I added a line to re.local to ifup it, and in etc/network/interfaces I added a pre-up line to insmod the module.

That seems great! As soon as I get my OPi Zero I will try your image. Thanks!

Hi,

As a fairly new user DietPI and Linux in general, is there any way to get the Orange Pi Zero to run a desktop? I want to run it remotely using xrdp and/or tightvncserver. Is this possible with the current build?

Yep, just tried tightvncserver on OPi Zero, works a charm 🙂  
Just remember its on screen 1, so IP:1 [(resolved) Cannot log in to the MySQL server](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/resolved-cannot-log-in-to-the-mysql-server/41/1)

Hi

I am new to DietPi but old enough for SBC with some humble knowledge on Linux.

I am install diet pi say V139 on OPi Zero and config for Wifi connect on dietpi.txt.

It worked perfectly and I have ssh connect.

However, after upgrade to V140, It can’t connect to network any more.

I intended to config Opi zero as network player to my USB DAC.

Any hint for this? I have try several times re-flash but getting stuck after upgrade and reboot to V140.

Thank you.

Hi,

Strange, theres nothing in the v140 patch that targets OPi Zero or would effect WiFi.

**Please try this service to resolve WiFi:**  
There is a known issue with WiFi modules failing to load during boot, on some boards. This may resolve the issue.  
[https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/635#issuecomment-266006050](https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/635#issuecomment-266006050)

Failing that, please paste results of following commands, so we can check for any errors:

```plaintext
dmesg | grep xradio
dmesg | grep wlan0

```

Yep, this is fixed for v141, its as if Debian has forced https redirect on their security repo overnight, but you can manually patch with:

- **ARMv7**
