Unable to set wifi on raspberry pi 4 with Kdoren's jamulus

[jfrommer2001]

No matter what I tried, wlan0 is unavailable on Kdoren's jamulus.
WiFI is working perfectly on the same hardware using an "official" raspberry pi 4 software.
Any clue??

Probably it's disabled. Can you check the /boot/config.txt or commandline.txt file?

Just to be clear: Jamulus will not work correctly with WiFi.

That is quite possible, but it is more important for you to get a cable.
You will not be happy with the audio quality using Jamulus with wifi on any computer.
Using a cable makes a big difference.

Hi I am aware that jamulus will not work correctly with wifi But, I intend to use the Pi for other tasks as well, thua I want to connect it via wifi too. I commented the [all] section in /boot/config.txt, the result of which was that the internet connection was crossed saying : "no wireless interface found" (I guess that part of the problem now stems from the many changes I have made trying to enable wifi connection. As I am very poor with setting up pi, I'll appreciate if you can help me step by step , to set both wired and wireless connection) Thanks

Did you try to install the wifi driver on your Pi? If you also use it for other tasks, you could also just use plain Raspberry Pi OS?

1. Sorry for the typo in my first response. 2. Cable connection is perfect (i.e. this mail was sent using the wired connection) 3. I reinstalled - clean install- K. Dorn flavour of jamulus as I did not know how to setup jamulus on an "official" Raspberry pi. Could It be simply "apt-get install jamulus"? or something simple like that? 4. I am curious to learn how to enable the wifi communication on the fresh installation. I launched -right click - the 2 arrows on the panel: "Wireless & Wired network settings". It opened "Network Preferences" , but wlan0 does not show in the interface selection. I also do not know where to look for the driver. Can you advise? Thanks

I think it's something like apt-get install jamulus but from the debian backports repository: https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/jamulus

Unfortunately I don't know much about the wifi drivers, I found this which does the exact opposite. Maybe if you follow the steps you can also enable WiFi: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-disable-wifi/

Also see https://backports.debian.org/

Thanks for your reply I managed to enable and run the wifi communication on my Pi. I'll gather detailed info and send it to you in a separate mail Again, thank you very much

Great to hear!

[jfrommer2001]

Further to my previous mail in the section [all] of /boot/config.txt, I commented the line: dtoverlay=disable-wifi That's it Thanks
