AA Wirleess Dongle

Post by Sambolini94 »

Hi,

From my previous post I disabled the hotspot so I can troubleshoot via ssh or VNC if needed and so have been using an AA Wireless 2 Dongle and it works 50% of the time and when it does its good, but when it doesn't work I get popups such as the ones below! Am I missing something? Or do I need to amend the service file so it identifies the adapter dongle..

CarPiHat Pro 5
Raspberry pi 4
Raspberry Pi &" Screen
Bookworm
USB hub separate power via buck converter taking (SSD, Bluetooth adapter and AA Wireless Dongle)
USB Mic

Thanks,

Sam

Hello,
These errors come from pcmanfm (the Raspberry Pi file manager). By default, pcmanfm tries to mount USB devices as storage drives, which is likely causing a conflict with your device. You can disable this in pcmanfm settings:

Folder icon to open the file manager -> Edit -> Preferences -> Volume Management:

Uncheck:
Mount removable media automatically when they are inserted
Show available options for removable media when they are inserted.
