Raspberry Pi Model

Raspberry Pi 3

Describe The Bug

In the wiki there is written: If you plug a monitor into your Raspberry Pi, the IP address will be displayed on the attached screen once it has finished booting.

But if you plug a monitor into the Raspberry Pi, there is only the new user wizard shown: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-bullseye-update-april-2022/

I encountered the same issue.

  1. When I attempted to cancel the dialog, it simply restarted the setup wizard.
  2. I then tried entering a new username and password, but it failed with the message "user not found" and displayed the setup wizard again.
  3. Finally, I entered the default username and password (pi and raspberry), and it worked. The welcome screen and IP address were displayed.

By the way, the network did not work for me out of the box. It displayed 127.0.0.1 as the IP address, and I was unable to ping anywhere from the RPi. To resolve this, I had to log in and add the following lines to the /etc/network/interfaces file:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

After rebooting, the RPi received a proper IP address from DHCP.
