Trying to connect to recurBOY using ssh

underscores

Hi,

I have followed thR instructions for connecting recurBOY using ssh from another PC, but the raspi is not found. I’m using `ping raspberry.local` but I get `ping: raspberrypi.local: Name or service not known`.

As the manual says I’m creating a file called wpa_supplicant.conf in boot partition of the SD card after installing recurBOY image on it, and inside of the file I write this:

country=ES
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
    ssid="THIS IS MY 2G LOCAL WIFI NAME"
    psk="THIS IS MY 2G LOCAL WIFI PASSWORD"
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

Then I insert the SD card in the raspi and start it.

I’m on v3.1.0s_v1_1_1h

I didn´t have any problem to connect using Raspberry Pi OS.

Actually, the hostname of recurBOY is “recurboy” (it is specified in /etc/hosts in the “rootfs“ partition). So “ping recurboy.local” pings the recurboy, and “ssh pi@recurboy.local“ (password: cyberboy666) allows to connect through ssh.

yupp you figured it out! you are running the latest firmware (technically still a pre-release until a little time passes to see if any issues come up) but info about this update (including the change of default name and pw) can be found [here](Releases · cyberboy666/recurBOY · GitHub)
