Hi - sorry if this issue has already been addressed somewhere in the forums, my searches failed to turn up any kind of solution.
I've been running pCP 8 and LMS 8 on an RPi 3B. I'd set a static IP address of x.x.x.99. A new router enables me to link the Pi's MAC address to the required IP address within the router. On the pCP main page I clicked "Static IP" and on the target page selected the DHCP radio button, and re-booted.... >From that moment on the Pi was effectively dead. The router didn't allocate it an IP address from the DHCP range, SSH didn't give access (no surprises there!), just nothing working. I wondered if the SD card had died for some reason so flashed a spare card with a backup image - which was pCP 7, written immediately before upgrading to pCP8. The Pi rebooted as normal from the replacement SD card and all appeared well. LMS even resumed the Spotify playlist I had going in Spotty which was a pleasant surprise. I then went to the pCP 7 main page, through to the Static IP page, clicked the "DHCP" button, rebooted and - - - the Pi once more was dead, exactly as with the pCP 8 SD card. Presumably this is not an issue directly related to pCP 8. Any pointers, anyone? I'd prefer not to start with a brand new pCP install if I can avoid it by some kind of work-around. -[If this issue should really be in a different thread, I'll start one and link to it from here.]- Digital: Raspberry Pi 3B; piCorePlayer 8 + LMS 8; HifiBerry DAC+DSP > Yamaha RX-V2700 > Jamo speakers Analogue: HifiBerry DAC+DSP > Speakercraft MZC-66 > whole house Library: External USB drive Android: Squeezer app ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Viragored's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32954 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
