Unexpected error while saving network settings
Hi,
I'm a beginner with XBian and, generally speaking, with the Raspberry but I was able, following various sources on the internet, to succesfully configure RaspBian to use the ethernet interface and activate XRDP through which I can connect to it via RDP from my Windows 7 pc. Yesterday I went to buy a new SD card where I installed XBian, activated the video composite output (I don't have an HDMI monitor at the moment) and succesfully booted. Since I would like to "drive" XBian through my smartphone (XBMC app) I went to the network configuration menu to set a static IP configuration. When I saved the settings a small popup on the lower right corner appeared reporting "an unexpected error occurred" and everything switched to "DHCP". I tried several times but the result was the same. So I changed the SD card and booted with RaspBIAN, put the SD card to an USB reader and mounted on RaspBIAN. I then edited the file "interfaces" in the "/root/@/etc/network" adding the same lines of the "interfaces" of the RaspBIAN, saved the file and closed everything. I booted then with XBian but when I went to the network configuration menu everything was set as default (DHCP). Did I write in the wrong file? Why that "unexpected error"? Thank you, regards.

RE: Unexpected error while saving network settings
First thing I would do is to perform an upgrade.
From a ssh shell - use xbian-config to perform the task - System upgrade. Then use Option 2 -> 3 Network interfaces and set the static IP there. That always works for me. If you have a Raspberry B+ you'll need to upgrade the kernel - see the forum for details Please read before you post How to post a log file If you liked my help, click on "Thanks" to show your appreciation.

It fully follows it's structure and workflows. So regardless of the config program failing, do you have static IP set on the system now? (for the config tool, upgrade - at least xbian-package-config-shell) Please read rules and do a search before you post! . FAQs . How to post log file? . Looking for answers? Please start here |
