RE: WiFi Dongle for second WiFi device - baltika_no_9 - 2021-08-14
Ah that rings a bell! I had that I'm sure, let me consult my notes.
Do you have GB set up as the wifi country in the Raspberry Pi Localisation page?
What is in the file /etc/wpa-supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ?

Ok,
So just to update you I have tried a fresh install of OpenPlotter and, even before I update (apart from changing the pi and wifi passwords) the symptom is just the same.
You asked about wifi country. I tried to update this and did not receive any error message but on exiting Raspberry Pi configuration and opening again it still shows as <not set>.
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf contains:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
RE: WiFi Dongle for second WiFi device - baltika_no_9 - 2021-08-14
I don't understand why the WiFi country can't be set. You're logged in as the user pi I assume.
What happens if you add the line
country=GB underneath update_config=1 in wpa_supplicant.conf and then check the localisation? Might need a reboot I think.
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=GB <<<<<< add this

Yes, logged on as pi
line added to wpa_supplicant.conf and rebooted.
The raspberry pi configuration still shows wlan country <not set> and this still cannot be updated.

Well I don't understand that at all.
I have just downloaded OP v2 starter image and done a brand new install with the USB dongle installed from the start. I did a sudo raspi-config>System Operations>Wireless LAN, set up the wifi country. I was able to use both wlan0 and wlan1 without a problem.
Are you using the same image or the NOOBS variant?
And trying to set the wifi country through:
Preferences>Raspberry Pi configuration>Localisation>Set Wifi Country
and
sudo raspi-config>Localisation Options>WLAN Country
both fail to set the value GB?

I am using the headless image using r pi installed on my windows pc, not noobs.
I have only tried the gui version of raspberry pi configuration. I’ll try the command line / terminal with sudo next

I am running mine headless too but using VNC. I'll download the same image as you and will give it a go.

I tried sudo raspi-config >system options> wirless LAN with the result:
Could not communicate with wpa_supplicant<ok>
There was an error running option S1 Wireless LAN<ok>
and also similar for localisation settings:
Could not communicate with wpa_supplicant<ok>
There was an error running option L4 WLAN Country
p.s. I'm doing this from a local login, even though I have the headless install, could this be the issue?
