Piaware 10 SSH Issue: Port 22 Connection Refused

[tomekurbanski]

Has anyone else encountered an issue with Piaware 10? Despite adding an empty SSH file with no extension, SSH is not being activated, and the connection is being rejected.

I don’t use the SD card image myself currently, but based on the thread announcing Piaware 10 a number of config files previously in /boot are now in /boot/firmware. Have you tried putting the file there?

Hi Tony. Thanks for taking the time to try out the new image! The path for piaware-config.txt (and some other files like cmdline.txt and config.txt) changed from /boot/ to /boot/firmware/. This is a change that Bookworm introduced. My current guess would be you SCPed the file to the old location? If that’s not it. My next step would be plugging in an ethernet, have wired-network enabled and see if that works. Lastly, you can check the journalctl logs to check any errors.

I had no issue when I set it up with a clean SD card. I put the text file SSH in the root of the card and it worked.
