My NCP install works fine, but only if I have a keyboard installed!

Sorry if this is mentioned elsewhere. My searching skills/patience levels are not great!

I have been playing with NCP for a few days and had it installed as I wanted. Then made the leap to install it all in an old USB disk case. But it then didn’t work.
Opening the box and plugging HDMI back in I can see it booting normally, but it doesn’t appear on the network, (despite having a static IP). If I plug in a keyboard and reboot, it all works perfectly.

I hadn’t expected to dedicate a wireless keyboard dongle to the project! :slight_smile:
Sounds weird but true!

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Maybe:
Enter BIOS and look for the, check for keyboard, turn it off, or set to ignore,
save and reboot.

Thanks Oliver, would certainly been look in there if on a PC.
But this is NCP (NextCloudPi), running on a Raspberry Pi, so no BIOS as such.

Okay, misunderstood.
What installation method did you use?
What are output of ncp.log and ncp-report? (I use pastbin.com for sharing logs)

@OliverV Thanks, when I went back to gather this info I found that I had overwritten the uSD card without backing up. So I went back to the previous backup. This version doesn’t show the same problem!
So sorry, but I will have to walk away from this problem.

Anyway glad it is working.

Many thanks for your fast help!
