Hello!
I have successfully flashed my 16GB memory card with Etcher software on windows 10 (under VMWare). I then plugged in the card into my Rasberry PI 3 B+, and my ethernet cable - and left it for about 1 hour. But when I returned to my computer, I tried going to the new ip address but found none. Even after I rebooted the PI.
The doco says “The device will be available under its IP or via the local DNS name openhabianpi”, but cant see anything in my ipconfig, and I get an error when I type http://openhabianpi:8080 in my browser.
Your help is appreciated!!
Platform information:
Hardware: Rasberry PI 3 B+
OS: MAC High Sierra 10.13.3 (with Windows 10 running inside VM Ware),
Rasparian Lite with OpenHabian 1.4.1
Tony, you’ll need to arm yourself with more patience than 1 hour - by restarting OH, you likely stopped the installation and left the Pi in a corrupted state. Go back to Etcher, reload the image, put the flash card in, restart it, and…leave the house for the day…when you come back, take a look at your router and see if a new client popped up (assuming you’re connected to your router via copper)…It took my Pi ~3 hours to load up with openhabian, for reference.
As a suggestion, though not necessary, it’s really nice for installation to use hdmi and a usb keyboard at Raspberry Pi. You will see what openHABian has done (at least I would expect some output), you are able to login without the need of a working LAN, when logged in, you can get every Pi IP by using
as @Udo_Hartmann said either hook up a monitor so see the output, or the little less stressful option in my eyes is to directly connect to the pi during installation using ssh. in the next image there will be also the option to trace the installation status using http
this means that you also should be able to find the pi within a few minutes of installation in your network. if this is not the case i would assume that you have some kind of network problems in the first place
Opened up the file first-boot.log and found this WIFI error: (I assure you that my username/pass are correct)

I plugged in my CAT5 cable, after reimaging my PI, and got this error messages:

Im running MAC OS(High Sierra), and Windows 10 inside a VMWare. Having said that, I have tried installing OpenHabian 1.4.1 on MAC and on Windows 10, and getting the same errors with the Ethernet cable. Hope this rPI is not faulty?
Hi,
I came to realize that this issue was related to my internet connectivity. I guess my cable was broken so even though I was able to access the internet wirelessly and believed there was connectivity, it took a change in cable to fix this.
I had my PI plugged into my laptop Ethernet port INSTEAD of my modem!! So OpenHab happily installed as expected this time, and I plugged my PI into my TV via the HDMI cable to see the install progress…
