Printer Setup configuration wifi password incorrect tho it is correct?
I am trying to connect my minnion to my wifi but it says the password is wrong. The I have removed the password and it still requires on for it to even try to connect so I made a simple easy password to insure I wasnt messing it up.
What am I missing?
Followed the ratos documentation and with out wifi the printer work great.

Doesn't wpa2 require a longer password?

No just 8
Tryed the wifi with out password as well still had a issuewith that it sayed open password. Got it to hook on to my phones wifi hotspot tho. Not ideal.
Does the printer need me to make it longer? So kind of coding check?

i once had the problem that i could not input non-standard characters in the initial wifi setup screen. when i set it up manually later over ethernet it worked though
This was fixed quite some time ago
The only way to get this error is if
wpa_passphrase fails. I'm not sure why it would fail using only numbers though.
You can run it manually if you SSH into the pi
RatOS does not allow connecting to passwordless wifi (because you shouldn't be using passwordless wifi).
My guess is there are some very funky characters in your SSID.
See what wpa_passphrase reports if you enter it manually, that'll give you a clue.sensitive-blue•2y ago
i set it over ssh, so yeah. but before that, it would not work 🤷♂️
and yes, i used "funky" characters 😉
i set it over ssh, so yeah. but before that, it would not workEditing the wpa_supplicant is not the same as running
wpa_passphrase. If wpa_passphrase throws errors, there's probably a good reason.sensitive-blue•2y ago
i did neither of those though. i don't even remember exactly what i did, but it was not this ^^
it was more of a general raspian wifi setup thing
I don't know if it's the same problem, but I installed ratos 2.0 but when I tried to connect to the ratos host that creates the pi with the password "raspberry", it told me that it was incorrect

Ok will see what i can find in the wpa_passhrase not sure what that is or how to get there but google and youtube will have enough of a idea . It may just be to short as. Yeah i wouldn't leave it with out a password just trying to find a solution. New to this stuff and with pis hard to find and expensive i am slow to just brick one for experience if thats possible? 😅 if that doesn't work will try the manual way though the pi.

i am not sure myself, but it sounds like a console command to me
you can't really harm a pi easily though, so no worries
That would be editing the wpa_supplicant. In either case, check the output of wpa_passphrase, there's not much i can do about it without knowing how that fails.
You just do:
Then it'll barf out some error that you can paste here
Double check that you don't paste your password here, just to be safe
i am slow to just brick one for experience if thats possible?Not with software 🙂

Ok i believes i ssh in it asked for a login so i used pi. Then it asks for a password and my keys stop working?
That is normal. It just doesn't display anything but it is accepting the keys. When you are done with entering the password hit enter

The password is 10 characters? So what am i missing?
Isn't it just
wpa_passphrase? It is taking "LAM's" as your passwordcorrect-apricotOP•2y ago
Ok so take the spaces out of my ssid
Ok so i got passed the password part lets see if i can login to the minnion now on the wifi
Sweet it worked. Thank you 😊. I would have ever thought that the name would mess with the pi like that.
Just quote it
"LAM's Low wiifee", same with the password.correct-apricotOP•2y ago
@miklschmidt Ok may try that later but with it working great and connected up to the wifi now. Keeping it going 24/7 for the next week or so.
