I have an issue with Rasbian lite.
I downloaded the OS and installed it in a Raspberry PI Model 3B. logged in and typed the following:
sudo raspi-config
- added wifi access point name and password
- saved and finished
this closed the raspi-config tool
I then typed ifconfig
ifconfig shows the Wlan0 without an IP address
wlan0 : flags=4099,UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>. mtu 1500
ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 0. bytes. 0. (0.0B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 fram 0
TX packets 0. bytes 0. (0.0B)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overrun 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
There is suppose to be a line that read :
inet 169.123.1.netmask 255.255.255.0
This is not in the ifconfig.
I cannot ping a local or internet IP address I do not have access to the internet.
I tested the hardware and the network credentials using the rasbian OS with Desktop. That worked.
- The hardware works
- The WIFI credentials work
- The full version of Rasbian works...Not the Lite version.
Why is this error happening when I attempt to use Rasbian lite (Stretch and buster)?
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
(you can obfuscate your password). PS do not use ifconfig useip a
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
(hide your ssid/password if you want)sudo cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
. This should output the contents of that file. You can select this text output with your mouse and copy and paste it into your question that you have opened for editing (there's a link under it) in your browser.
