🐛 | Network Settings in Bookworm

[AlvinSchiller]

Bug

What I did

Set a Wifi via the WebUi

What happened

The new settings are not used

I expected this to happen

The settings are used

Further information that might help

With Bookworm the network settings have changed. Now NetworkManager is used.
This breaks settings of "old" wpa_supplicant.conf and dhcpcd.conf.

Static IP and Autohotspot are also affected.

Software

Base image and version

Bookworm lite

Branch / Release

master 2.5.0

Installscript

scripts/installscripts/install-jukebox.sh

Hardware

RaspberryPi version

3 A+

This does effect both V2 and V3, right?

[AlvinSchiller]

yep, couldn't test on v3 right now, which features are effected.
But i assume static ip and autohotspot (already known).

nmcli may be the command to go.

[AlvinSchiller]

Yep nmcli was working on manual test. Need to implement a switch for the features, depending on OS Version.
Or maybe there is still comon ground?

Temporary workaround

Before running the installation, the network config has to be changed via raspi-config, to use the "old" dhcpcd network settings.

Important

If the settings are changed, your network will reset and Wifi will not be configured, so you lose ssh access via wireless connection.
So make sure you use a wired connection or perform the following steps in a local terminal with a connected monitor and keyboard.

Change network config

• run sudo raspi-config
• select 6 - Advanced Options
• select AA - Network Config
• select dhcpcd

If you need Wifi, add the information now

• select 1 - System Options
• select 1 - Wireless LAN
• enter Wifi information
