After about one year of just enjoying my music, I suddenly realised I was two versions behind. So I updated the three Pcp-instances I had running:
- a headless Pi2B with a Hifiberry DAC, wired connection - a Pi2B with a Hifiberry DAC and an official Raspberry touchscreen, wifi connected - a Pi2B with an Hifiberry AMP and a Waveshare touchscreen, wifi connected 1 insitu update to 7.0 and then to 8.0 without any problem 2 insitu update to 7.0 and lost wifi connection. The wifi-dongle was no longer detected. It took me a while to find out it was a driver issue. I had to try out about 10 wifi-dongles before I found one that worked. I also learned that it is not a good idea to have wired and wifi connection active at the same time. Very strange things happend then. It has taken me a while to connect the dots but in the end I did a new installation of PCP 8.0. and all was well. 3 insitu update to 7.0 and the to 8.0 without any problem, wifi was not affected. As expected, the Waveshare screen needed a new calibration. Which leads me to the question as to how one can select a suitable wifi-dongle? Is it enough that the maker declares it works with Linux out of the box or that it is compatible with Rpi4? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alverman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69227 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114828 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
