Updated dreampi to 1.8 now no wifi

[spinksy]

Hi all

Having some trouble, my dreampi has been faultless since I set it up a few years ago, now updated it to 1.8 so I can play Daytona USA online and now I cannot get it to connect to my WiFi.

Done all the steps in the dreamcasticChannel YouTube vid I used before but I get the following errors when I boot the pi up on a monitor with keyboard


failed to start dhcpcd on all interfaces

Failed to start Raise network interfaces
See 'systemctl status networking.service' for details

Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong please

All help appreciated

Are you on a pi4? Theres a new pi4 image if so.

I'm not sure which model it is as it's a custom made dreampi unit I won in a competition on a discord channel.

It's a small one that has WiFi, it's in a custom case with a modem and voltage inducer built in

Where do I get the pi4 image to try?

Edit -
Just taken case apart and it's a Raspberry Pi Zero W V1.1

this is the link to the downloads page that has both images https://dreamcastlive.net/downloads/. But sounds like you may already have the correct image. For me, I always format the card completely with SD Card formatter (Though should be unnecessary but I do it anyways). Then flash with Win32Disk imager. I'd try re-flashing the Original Dreampi 1.8 DLE

I will try again, its weird as it's a brand new SD card as my old one was only 2gb and was too small for the version 1.8

So frustrating, now downloading 1.8 (both versions) so will try both again

This exact same issue happened to me after I updated to 1.8. Drove me nuts for a couple days. Still unsure of what happened, or how it began working correctly again. I just used Dream and Dreamcast (capital D in both - they were both lowercase before) as my username and password and used my real first name in the real name section (Planetweb 2.0). Then it just popped back to life. Coincidence, I don't know but it's worked flawlessly since.

Update!

Got it working, tried a different SD card and a fresh install of 1.8 and it's now working.

Not sure what problem was but I'm back online
