I already posted logs: https://paste.osmc.tv/nakajupujo
The network I was trying to connect to was the same one I was trying to pre-seed.
I tried moving my 2.4GHz network from channel 13 to channel 11, and it now shows up in the list of WiFi networks, so thatās clearly why it wasnāt appearing before - the Pi just canāt see channel 13. But when I try to connect to it, I get the same error that I got for the 5GHz network, and it doesnāt connect.
From the log, it doesnāt look like youāve installed (and configured) the crda package
- How do I do that?
- Is that something that should be installed as standard?
-
sudo apt-get install crda. Set REGDOMAIN in /etc/default/crda. - Direct that one to Sam.
Okay, I set REGDOMAIN to GB, and now the 2.4GHz WiFi network on channel 13 is visible - which is cool! On the face of it, that does seem like something that ought to be installed by defaultā¦
This hasnāt fixed the error Iām getting trying to actually connect to a WiFi network, though.
Should I reinstall OSMC without pre-seeding a WiFi network and see if that helps? Or do you need fresh logs, orā¦?
I was hoping that Sam would have provided input regarding the preseeding process. I know very little about how it works.
Have you tried via connmanctl to see if it just a MyOSMC issue?
I havenāt. Youāre going to have to talk me through it or point me to a tutorial, though. 
I donāt think Iām doing this right. Error messages everywhere.

Is Wifi disabled in MyOSMC?
What does cat /proc/net/wireless give you?
Or iwconfig?
Oops, I had temporarily disabled it, yes. It went better this time, but the final stage still errored:
connmanctl> connect wifi_b827eb72768c_42616720456e64_managed_psk

And Iām not sure at what point Iām supposed to enter the passwordā¦?

Did you remember agent on ?
You are the first person in the UK Iāve seen using channel 13.
Usually thatās a German thing, and even then, very rare.
Wouldnāt installing crda by default and setting REGDOMAIN to GB be a good idea for someone whose location is in GB? Maybe that would have some negative side effects, I donāt knowā¦
Pretty sure I did, but Iāll try it again when I have a moment.
I got bored of grappling with the WiFi, and decided to reinstall OSMC, this time selecting āwired networkā in the options when initialising the SD card. Having gone through the installation process again, Iām now able to connect to my 5GHz WiFi without any errors.
I am therefore confident that the root cause of the problem was the original attempt to pre-seed a WiFi network while initialising the card. Somehow that not only prevents it from connecting to the pre-seeded network, but it spoils things so badly that any attempt to connect to any WiFi network after that fails.
Iām going to let this thread lapse now, as it has already drifted away from its original topic (what turned out to be a dodgy memory card). I might re-raise one or two other things in threads of their own if the mood takes me!
