I am unable to sign in using the printer setup after upgrading my Raspi Astroprint to 0.60 using a wired connection. I was having no problems with the previous version. I am able to use the printer and connect to its ip, and I have used ssh to determined that the Pi is able to ping google, so it is not an internet problem. Any thoughts?
Did you manually setup your network. If your interface is not managed by the network manager, the astrobox software won’t see it and think it’s offline.
I had to go into my roughter and get the 192.168.1.xxx address, after that all was cool. v 0.6
Do you mean manually as in setting a static ip on the pi? I can get rid of that and try to have it assigned by the router instead. brb (just to clarify, I set a static ip for eth0 by editing /etc/network/interfaces. This worked on the previous version perfectly and had no problems signing in from the printer.
After deleting the lines for eth0 and trying to sign in, the printer said invalid email/password, and then signs me in. Really bizzare!
So, as i can’t use that,how would i set a static ip for the astropi that doesn’t involve using the router?
@Thomas_Yost That is the expected behaviour. Here’s why. When you remove eth0 from the interfaces file, you allow the Network Manager to take over the interface. It is at this point that the astrobox software can see the interface and its connection.
This is what I meant before by saying that your interface it not managed by the Network Manager. It’s because it was manually set in the interfaces file.
Is there a way to set a static ip for ethernet?
Not currently form the UI. I’ll a fix that allows to configure interfaces manually without breaking login.

Awesome! Can’t wait to not have to look up the IP whenever it decides to change 
What’s the status of this now? What’s the best way of setting a static IP on the AstroBox?
I have one on an office network and I don’t want to reserve the address in the Cisco switch atm.
Take a look at this support FAQ: https://astroprint.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/207866186-Can-I-configure-the-Raspberry-Pi-network-myself-
Great! Thank you 
Is it possible here to disable the “Ping” check as well? That way I won’t have to fix the date at every boot.
we’re fixing that in the next release but in the mean time, the code is in this script:
/usr/local/sbin/astrobox-init
Thanks! 
Btw. I did some tests with the wget spider command I posted in the other thread, and it seems to work as intended.
I changed “8.8.8.8” to “127.0.0.1” in that file. Seems to work fine now, forcing ntp to update. Quick fix for now.
Network now says “Manually configured”, “wlan0” and my IP. I guess it should’ve said “eth0”, as I’m using wired, but no biggie.
Thanks for your prompt replies! My AstroBox seems to be working as intended.
