Special characters in SSID

Audio Gear Talk RoPieee

Hello!

I am getting RoPieee setup on my system, but my problem is that my wifi contains a special character (the SSID is C:/virus.exe ) so when I am setting up the wifi and see the available networks it shows up as simply “C” without the rest of the name. I can’t seem to find any fields where I can type it in completely, and when I connect to “C” with the appropriate password it’s unsuccessful. Can I manually enter the SSID in a different field that I haven’t found yet? Can I alter that info from the back end?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I think you hit a bug. I’ll look into it. For now, if you want wireless to work, I would suggest changing your SSID.

Thanks

If RoPieee allows you to ssh into the device (via Ethernet, since WiFi is down) and sudo to root, you could always edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file directly. Or hook keyboard/monitor to the Pi and log in on the console? (I’ve never used RoPieee, so don’t know what logins it allows.)

Thank you for taking a look at it! It’s a beautiful piece of software.

Hi @P_PIEDRA,

Issue has been fixed, just waiting for a next release.
If you can’t wait you can always switch to the beta channel where it is already out.

Thanks

Thank you so much! That was seamless and I didn’t have to change all of my other devices to a new SSID. Thank you again!
