Trying to configure headless PI4B.

No files exist to set up static IP!

Its all change since the last setup only a month ago

When will these fuckers stop tinkering and decide for once and for ll
how things are to be done!

Help!

Uninstall network-manager package.

Populate /etc/network/interfaces the same way as always.

Reboot for good measure, to make sure all relics of networkmanager have
been purged.

I did this yesterday because networkmanager is written by idiots
(Redhat) and was constantly making my headless Pi drop off the
network. It's been fine since then.

You could set up your router to hand out the same IP address for your Pi's
MAC address. With that, you can just leave DHCP enabled on the host and
it'll always Just Work, regardless of what happens to the software on the
host. As a bonus, if you configure a hostname, that should be picked up by
the router and made available through internal DNS to other hosts, so you
don't have to fool around with IP addresses at all.

As I mentioned in my post, I was having a problem where my Pi was
getting a DHCP address but then eventually dropping off the network
regardless. Removing Network Manager and just setting up
/etc/network/interfaces to do DHCP instead seems to have solved the
issue.

Could put some flesh on the bone please?

What do you mean by "populate"?
Is this an install process or just copying files and directories from
a bullseye build?

What do you do about the missing '/etc/dhcpcd.conf' which is where
I've always set statics in the past?

Thanks.

Bob.

Bob. What eventually worked for me was to
1. Ignore missing '/etc/dhcpcd.conf'
2. CREATE /etc/network/interfaces

But on boot it seems to vanish, but I have a static address

Ah. something has created this
/etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static

Hmm! it seems that the method varies depending on the Debian version on
which the Pi OS version is based: 12 (bookworm), 11 (bullseye), etc.

I understand that. :-)

I don't understand that!
That *file* already exists in bookworm and it's exactly the same as
in bullseye ???

There must be more to it than that, there has to be. Where did your
pi learn what static address you wanted to put in the that file???

I suspect I'm not understanding (in this context) words like
'populate' and 'create'. I cannot create something that already
exists.

Sorry to be so thick.

I've done some googling and been successful for once !!!

https://www.abelectronics.co.uk/kb/article/31/set-a-static-ip-address-on-raspberry-pi-os-bookworm

It says create a file /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0 put all the data
above in there yourself. I did that and only that. It worked.

I don't know how yours created the file for you.

Bob.

Well the discussion was about the 'latest and greatest' - i.e. Bookworm.
I am sorry if I didnt make that clear.

Its a pain in the rectum: at one fell swoop, new versions obsolete *all*
the online documentation.

PS Bookworm is a lousy name for a version. Why couldn't they have called
it 'Desdemona'

It didn't exist in my installation.

Did you use a GUI tool - i.e. Network manager - to set up networking?
It is possible that that would have created it.
I am running with no monitor and keyboard at all.

No, but if it does not...

e.g, my current setup is this

/etc/network $ ls -la
total 36
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Oct 10 04:41 .
drwxr-xr-x 92 root root 4096 Oct 18 22:17 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 10 04:41 if-down.d
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 10 04:41 if-post-down.d
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 10 04:41 if-pre-up.d
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 10 04:41 if-up.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134 Oct 10 04:37 interfaces
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 18 15:30 interfaces.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 271 Oct 10 04:41 interfaces.new

So there is now an interfaces, but there *wasn't*.
But what's inside it is...

/etc/network $ more interfaces

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

So it actually just says 'look elsewhere'

and in ..interfaces.d there now exists a file called eth0 which I
certainly never created

/etc/network $ ls -la interfaces.d
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 18 15:30 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Oct 10 04:41 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 128 Oct 18 15:30 eth0

And in THAT file is what I had originally put in
/etc/network/interfaces...i.e.

$ more interfaces.d/eth0

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.101
network 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.254

SO the 'bookworm way' seems to be that until and unless you fiddle with
networks via network manager, and its GUI, there is no interfaces or
eth0 file (or it's set up for DHCP) and if you edit it, at some point on
boot, the OS reads that file, decides that its inappropriate for adults,
pops it in interfaces.d/eth0 and then rewrites interfaces to point to it.

I think something deleted your file.

I've just used a downloaded image of "lite" no gui at all.
unpacked it and burnt it.

Then added SSH empty file and then added userconf.txt.

Transferred the sd card to the pi and booted.

SSH and logged in.

No problem.

It's interesting to see the differences with Bullseye.
This will definitely help me during my upgrade.

For my part I still use Bullseye:

$ cat /etc/debian_version
11.7

There is nothing in the "interfaces" file:

$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

But this directory is empty:

$ ls -al /etc/network/interfaces.d/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 4 nov 2020 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 3 mai 02:09 ..

Perhaps I misremembered and created *eth0* in *there* myself. .

I was busy trying to get it working and just plagiarised some online
instructions, and it 'just worked'.

Linux to me is not an end in itself. Its a system building block, and I
am not THAT interested in its internals. ;-)

I really ought not to have been playing with a Pi4 at all, as I have
many other projects on the go, but a shiny new piece of hardware was
somewhat irresistible...

I'm reading this now and something today borked and blew up an
update/upgrade cycle.

I have a PiZeroW that runs headless and auto connects to the Wifi here.
It was running Raspbian/Debian 11 and I updated it in-situ following the
how to upgrade Debian 11 to 12 and whilst slow, everything just worked.
I've done update/upgrades before but today there was one for
network-manager (aka network-mangler).

I saw some symlink of files used by network-manager on the terminal and
then there was no more Wifi networking. I left the Pi running for 30mins
to make sure the upgrade had finished and rebooted. No Wifi :-(

At this point I pulled out the boot problem solver: an old Pi A+ with an
RS-232 cable attached and a USB to Ethernet dongle. The SDcard from
PiZeroW went into the A+ and it booted fine on the console and
networking was fine on the Ethernet dongle. Looking there was no
/etc/network/interfaces.d/wlan0 file. Whatever was specifying wlan0
before as the PiZeroW had been running bookworm since August 29th was
gubbed. A quick Google and the right contents placed into the missing
file, the permission etc. checked and A+ rebooted and checked to be
still booting. SDcard back into the PiZeroW and once booted, Wifi was
working again.

Absolute pain in the arse that took about 45mins to resolve.

I would suggest that having an RS-232 console connection and USB to
Ethernet dongle does make solving a lot of the PiZeroW issues much
easier. My RS-232 cable is soldered to the A+ I can't be bothered moving
it to the PiZeroW hence the use of the A+. I use dhcp to get the IP
address but have the router always provide the same IP address based on
the MAC of the PiZeroW.

Grr.

The serial terminal is easily stuffed up in boot configuration, or
by running code that uses the GPIO and doesn't account for serial
when setting the peripheral configuration registers. There may also
be different steps to enable it in other Linux distros (I still
haven't figured out how to make it work in PiCore, but at least
that distro doesn't insist on Network Manager, Systemd, or any of
that similar junk).

My fall-back is always the HDMI/Composite desktop and a USB
wireless keyboard/mouse. It seems to be really hard to break that
accidentally, and any Linux distro should be set up to give you a
terminal there by default.

One of the better reasons for avoiding Debian

"Desdemona, a feminine name of Greek origin that means "ill-fated" or
"unlucky." "

Not necessarily to do with Shakespeare...
