Wifi failed to connect raspberry pi 4

[zer0exia]

Hi. I’m trying to connect to wifi using the built-in pi4b wifi adapter but it didn’t work. The error simply state “failed to connect”. The problem is similar to these threads, and I’ve tried the steps without any success :

Wifi fails to connect after password entry

I have slightly different problem, in that I can see my network but I cannot connect to it. I select it, the dialog for password comes up, select “Done”, and the screen just says “configuring…” for ever. Any ideas?

WiFi doesn’t work after august 2021 update

Hi there, I just installed the newest OSMC version on my raspberry pi 4B. The only problem is that I can’t connect to my WiFi network. First of all, the software doesn’t ask my password but it does see the SSID of my network. If it asks to connect, I get the error, unhandled exception caught. Is there any way to fix it. Yours sincerely, LaurensG

Connmanctl commands output error after typing in passphrase :

Agent ReportError wifi_superlongwifistring_managed_psk
connect-failed
Agent request cancelled by ConnMan
Error /etc/connman/service/wifi_superlongwifistring_managed_psk : Operation aborted

Also there are unhandled exception errors popping out trying to connect from the GUI

I had to bring the system to my router and connect using ethernet so that I could post the log here : https://paste.osmc.tv/otewulumig

Can you show us the exact commands you have tried to run?

[zer0exia]

connmanctl> scan wifi
connmanctl> services
connmanctl> agent on
connmanctl> connect wifi_xxxxxx_managed_psk
connmanctl> [passphrase? mywifipassword

After that, the tty shows error like I showed on my first post

What region are you in?

Is it a standard WPA(x)-PSK network?

[zer0exia]

South East Asian region, and yes I believe this is a standard WPA-PSK network.

Either Raspberry Pi OS and DietPi (based on Debian Bullseye) has no problem connecting to the same wifi.

dmesg output during a connection attempt may provide some clues.

Nothing obvious in those logs to me unfortunately.

You could try creating a personal hotspot on your phone and seeing if you could connect to that.

I had similar issue w RPi3B+ in US with fresh install. Ended up installing v18 and updating which worked

[zer0exia]

Just to update, even with new fresh install, I haven’t been able to solve the issue. Unfortunately there’s only one image version for rpi4 that can be tested.

I ended up using LibreELEC, and i was able to connect to the same wifi. There’s some caveat, the wifi doesn’t connect automatically after reboot/shutdown, but that’s nothing major.

I’m not sure what’s the difference between LibreELEC and OSMC in terms of which version of kernels or firmwares that were used, but I’ll wait for further major updates before trying to use it again.

[sam_nazarko]

Output of dmesg on LibreELEC vs OSMC would be interesting.

Have you tried to select wired during the image creation?
This was the only thing that would allow me to connect to wifi.

[pegman]

Think I have a same issue…

Raspberry Pi4 4GB
Installed OSMC using the Windows tool onto a 32GB micro SD

During the install it asked for my SSID and Password (no way to skip past this??), so I entered.
After configuring language, region and location i checked wifi using ‘My OSMC’, it wasn’t connected.
I then tried to connect both my networks and its failing with “Unhandled Exeption…”

[sam_nazarko]

You can select configure networking later.

[pegman]

I’ve started again and selected ‘Wired Connection’. I could not see an option for configuring later, I must be missing something obvious…

[pegman]

All good now, working

[sam_nazarko]

You don’t have to pick an option.
