Thanks guys! All 11 channels are working now.

@szept
You should not be running 5.5.2, version 5.5.3 has important bug fixes.

Note, to run the Internet Connection Wizard, right-click on the "net" icon.

I have just tested SNS ethernet, it works great.

Booted a pristine 5.5.3, ran SNS, chose the eth0 interface, got online no problem.

Rebooted, and SNS automatically reconnected, posting from it now.

I think it was Alfons who also reported SNS ethernet works.

You should not need to use Network Wizard unless there is a special requirement, such as no DHCP server.

I'm using 5.5.3 and all that was happening on 5.5.2, but it remains on 5.5.3 for me.
Yes, I've tried just simply running the internet wizard, but one wizard is working for wifi and the other one is working for wired. Prior to 5.5.2 I was on 5.4.10 and until then all my internet(s) (wifi as well as wired) were connecting automatically. Now they don't - I have to go through the process I showed in pictures.

Version 5.5.4 is out!

Version 5.5.4 is out!

Updated and I'm not sure was that the reason or something else happened, but my wired network is not connecting automatically, yay! I'll check wifi later. Thanks

The executable ec-chroot-bootworm that launchs the container bookworm is not created in /usr/bin when the container is installed (EasyOS 5.5.4)

It is because bookworm was builded before usr-merge

Indeed, the executable is first of all created when the container is builded. When this last is installed, the executable is theoretically also copied in Easy

Before usr-merge, it happens in /usr/sbin, after it happens in /usr/bin.

If the container predates the change the copy does not take place.

File /usr/local/easy_containers/ec-create-desktop-icons-menu, line 57 (EasyOS 5.5.4)
The code is

Code: Select all

 cp -a -f /mnt/wkg/sfs/${1}/mntpt/usr/bin/ec-chroot-${aAPP} /usr/bin/

For old containers, must be

Code: Select all

 cp -a -f /mnt/wkg/sfs/${1}/mntpt/usr/sbin/ec-chroot-${aAPP} /usr/bin/

Sir,
There is a issue in network wizard. Hence no internet to office Laptop. My network connection etho (static). So even after saving the network, gateway number is not taking or saving. Hence no connection.

Error ! Interface configuration failed
The OS has just tried to do this
ip addr add 200.200.200.87/255.255.255.0 dev. eth0 and got the following error message

RTNETLINK answers : File exists.

My static IP setting as indicated below

200.200.200.87 static ip
255.255.255.0 subnet
200.200.200.7 gateway

DNS : 200.200.200.7
8.8.8.8

Unable to save gateway IP?

Bluetooth appears to be broken.
Command:Power on has failed.

This seemed to occur after I updated from 5.5.3.

EasyOS 5.5.x

Both network tools do not transmit the 'hostname' to the router.
If you enter 'hostname' in the terminal you'll get a correct name like 'EASYPC8575'
If you check with 'hostname --alias' you'll get the same result.
This means that EasyOS should be able to send this to the router - but it does not.

Feodor

This seemed to occur after I updated from 5.5.3.

I just checked om my EasyOS 5.5.4, bluetooth working OK. I scanned and connected to earphones, with working sound. This was an install which was originally created with 5.5.1 and was updated to 5.5.3prior to 5.5.4.

[FeodorF]

EasyOS 5.5.x
If you power up your PC without an active Ethernet line (f.e. hub w/o power) the SNS network tool will fail after 60+ seconds to connect to the Ethernet router automatically as soon as it becomes active.

The Network Wizard tool is able to handle this problem while you retry to access the web address.

The NetworkManager Applet from EasyOS 5.4.x was able to handle this case by itself.

Feodor

Thanks for the clarification .
I checked that Bluetooth was enabled correctly in bios which it is but still cant get it to work.

Have you tried to start 'bluepup' in the terminal yet to see if there is something missing?

Yes,it starts ok and I get this.

# bluepup

Considering all I have installed is Firefox and a few bookmarks,not a very good start !

With luck , the results of the commands

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep -i bluetooth

(Edit : fix command name . Thanks to FeodorF)
and

Code: Select all

rfkill

might give a clue to solve the problem.

I decided to do a clean install so downloaded and installed 5.5.3,then updated to 5.5.4.Now Bluetooth is working.

Spoke too soon..
Rebooted and BluePup showing the same fault.

Dmesg seems to indicate a firmware is missing. This would not explain why the bluetooth worked before.

You can try to add the firmware :

Code: Select all

mkdir /usr/lib/firmware/qca
cd /usr/lib/firmware/qca
wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/qca/nvm_usb_00000302.bin

You can replace SimpleNetworkSetup by NetworkManager in EasyOS 5.5.4.

If you have internet access in your computer you can use PKGget to install networkmanager, network-manage-applet and their dependancies libndp libnewt slang gcr libsecret.
If not you can download the matching tar.xz files at https://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/amd64 ... kirkstone/ ,copy and install them on Easy (To install a tar.xz you click on it)

Finally in /usr/local/bin/defaultconnect replace "exec sns" by "exec nm-setup" or "exec NetworkManager". Reboot

@Caramel

You're a star !

Thank you for the info',all working as it should now.

[BarryK]

Note about Network Wizard (Netwiz) and SNS, rerwin has a thread to discuss issues with these tools:

viewtopic.php?p=100474#p100474

For Easy 5.5.5, we will have to decide whether to go back to NetworkManager.

Even if that is done, the updated Netwiz and SNS will still be there, in case anyone wants to use them.
Currently no GUI way to flip between the two systems -- as Caramel posted, you have to edit /usr/local/bin/defaultconnect then reboot.

[Tahrbaby]

I do observe that once booted to desktop,it takes at least another 25-30 seconds to obtain a WLAN network connection.

[szept]

Version 5.5.4 is out!

Updated and I'm not sure was that the reason or something else happened, but my wired network is not connecting automatically, yay! I'll check wifi later. Thanks

Ok, so it's connecting automatically, but only on the same settings, so if I'm on laptop and I manually do the wlan0 => WIRELESS => LOAD PROFILE => USE THIS PROFILE => AUTO DHCP it will connect and it will reconnect after restart, but if I go to the other PC, with wired network I have to do the process manually again eth0 => AUTO DHCP, and again, it will do this automatically after restart. However if I go back to laptop I have to do it all again.

Thanks @Caramel

I am happy to inform you that your workaround turned the internet connection back to eaysos 5.4.4. Now able to connect to a static IP. I have copied the file to usb and and transferred it to easyos 5.4.4.

I wont get a chance to test static IP after 6 months due to my superannuation from service!

Did my 5.5.5 upgrade several hours ago and all is working well.

Thanks Barry K.

[Tahrbaby]

Thanks for 5.5.5 and the latest implementations @BarryK

Everything running smoothly and my WLAN network connection is now very rapid.

Both, wired and wifi are connecting automatically again! Thanks
