No ssid listed on wifi after last update (Rpi3)

Help and Support Raspberry Pi

Hello,

After the last October update, I can’t list and connect to the wifi via the osmc interface on my raspberry pi 3. I use the internal transceiver (no dongle).
I tried some solutions (most apply on other versions of raspberry) but nothing works.

Here are the logs:

I connected the raspberry through wire, I logged in via ssh and tried to configure it, but now I’m stuck.

The connection is UP, I tried “iwlist” and the different ssid in the neighborhood are listed, but nothing appears in the osmc interface.

Hi,

please try via ssh:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/connman/wifi*
sudo reboot 0

Hopefully ssids should now be listed in MyOSMC.

Thanks Tom.

Hi,

Thanks Tom! I tried but still nothing in the list.
“iwlist” still gives me a correct list

Just a guess but it could be related to the wicd* and python-wicd packages you’ve installed. If possible, remove them, reboot and see if that fixes things.

Hi,
I removed them, reboot and the problem is still the same.

Could you provide more logs? The problem could be different this time.

7

I can, but which one?
The previous log already comes from “grab-logs --all”.

If you want to see a log which is not already grabbed, be more specific.

Same logs just after removing the packages

All that nl80211 messages are strange

First, I suggest that you purge the wicd* packages. Second, python-wicd is still installed (also purge). Next, run autoremove, then reboot.

Same problem and same messages in the logs:

You have tethering enabled on WiFi. I’m working from memory but to disable it should be something like connmanctl tether wifi off. Last time I looked, tethering wasn’t working in the 4.19 kernel.

Ok, it wasn’t clear that tethering was enable.
I disabled it and now I see a list of ssid in the list but I can’t connect.

I can’t try more test now but I will repost a new log asap.

Ok, now it works. Thanks a lot.

I still don’t know why the tethering was activated with the last update. I will try to remember next time.
