I cannot find wpa-supplicant file in the ssd card supplied by Switchdoc and am unable create one due to permission restrictions. I am in the UK and am unable to connect to lan or wlan. When I sudo raspi-config and try to set country it says unable to communicate with wpa-supplicant. Its doing my head in with this system setup. I have tried to reset permissions with chmod, no joy. Any help would be good  |

Hmmm. What is going on here?
cd /etc/wpa_supplicant
sudo nano wpa_suppicant.conf
That will fix he permissions problem. If not, then post an ls -l of the directory and let me look at it!

update_config=1
network={
scan-ssid=1
ssid="VM055830"
psk="px9CtrcxVnwt"
key_mgmt=wpa-psk
}
pi@SwitchDocLabs:~ $ cd /etc/wpa_supplicant
pi@SwitchDocLabs:/etc/wpa_supplicant $ ls -l
total 44
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 937 Jun 6 2019 action_wpa.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25569 Jun 6 2019 functions.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4696 Jun 6 2019 ifupdown.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 159 Feb 5 14:22 wpa_supplicant.conf
pi@SwitchDocLabs:/etc/wpa_supplicant $

Do you have your SSID and ask correct? And the key_mgmt parameter correct?
I take it you can't connect to WiFi?
Why are you trying to use raspy-config? For a test, do a "sudo chmod 666 wpa_supplicant.conf" and see if that fixes your raspi_config problem.
You are running "sudo raspi_config"?

Finally cracked it
cd /root
sudo nano wpa_supplicant.conf
set it to gb ssid psk etc
rebooted and hey presto lan and wireless working fine.

cd /root?
The wpa_supplicant.conf was in root?
Odd.

The ssd disk you sent me did not have the config file in the root. I originally thought that was where it should be, but again thought you programmed this and maybe it was somewhere different, hence the problems. You instructed me in a previous post to nano it into /etc/wpa_supplicant which I duly did.
It's solved now so time to move on.

No, it shouldn't be in the root. Don't that confuse with putting in /boot for startup.
Glad it is solved.

Finally after a bit of digging on the net have found an answer to the problem with raspi-config - unable to communicate with wpa_supplicant sudo killall wpa_supplicant sudo wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -d this resets the raspi-config and the it works as it should. Yippee I've done it |
