Dec 09 06:03:28 <zmatt> o.O
Dec 09 14:18:31 <Maksym> can some tell me whats the problem when i try to test my code on https://github.com/jstapels/mpu6050/
Dec 09 14:18:59 <Maksym> i have installed the mpu6050 with code "npm install mpu6050"
Dec 09 14:19:26 <Maksym> my cmd says "npm WARN deprecated coffee-script@1.9.1: CoffeeScript on NPM has moved to "coffeescript" (no hyphen)"
Dec 09 14:19:40 <Maksym> then i put the code in test.js
Dec 09 14:19:47 <Maksym> and "node test.js"
Dec 09 14:20:03 <Maksym> and its says "TypeError: callback is not a function"
Dec 09 14:20:23 <Maksym> does somebody know the problem?
Dec 09 14:35:01 <Maksym> someone? :(
Dec 09 18:48:34 <onio> ::respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 console
Dec 09 18:52:11 <onio> anyone using "MASTERING EMBEDDED LINUX PROGRAMMING"
Dec 09 19:17:30 <olao> I am having trouble with content of book "Mastering Embedded Linux Programming" on beaglebone black
Dec 09 19:17:51 <olao> does anyone here use this book?
Dec 09 19:33:45 <GenTooMan> Not I?
Dec 09 19:34:54 <olao> GenTooMan: can you read my post?
Dec 09 19:39:52 <GenTooMan> "I am having trouble with content of book "Mastering Embedded Linux Programming" on beaglebone black", "does anyone here use this book?" <-- response means I don't know who uses that book, I don't.
Dec 09 19:40:47 <GenTooMan> First start with what version of the board and OS the book was written for. Things have changed significantly on the BBB.
Dec 09 19:43:08 <onio_> is there any reason I can't access this channel via Pidgin on ubuntu 16.04?
Dec 09 19:47:55 <GenTooMan> I don't use Pidgin so I nary have an idea. I use Hexchat which is pretty much the best IRC client I've found thus far.
Dec 09 19:51:48 <onio_> Ceriand: thanks
Dec 09 20:53:58 <Life_is_a_Bone> Hi
Dec 09 21:37:38 <Life_is_a_Bone> I am having a hell of a time installing LXDE on a BBG
Dec 09 21:37:54 <Life_is_a_Bone> i cannot get rid of chromium-common and chromium
Dec 09 22:17:34 <zmatt> Life_is_a_Bone: I saw the error you pasted earlier... what on earth did you do?
Dec 09 22:19:29 <zmatt> what steps did you take that led up to this mess, and what errors did you get along the way exactly?
Dec 09 22:23:01 <zmatt> also, are you doing this on eMMC or SD card? how much free space do you have left?
Dec 09 22:53:04 <Life_is_a_Bone> lol
Dec 09 22:53:06 <Life_is_a_Bone> nothing
Dec 09 22:53:23 <Life_is_a_Bone> i only had the BBG for like 2 days how much trouble could i get into
Dec 09 22:53:29 <Life_is_a_Bone> i was trying to get my wireless going
Dec 09 22:53:50 <Life_is_a_Bone> so I was playing around with things there but other than that I was in and out of /etc/network/interfaces
Dec 09 22:53:51 <zmatt> so, BBGW then, not BBG ?
Dec 09 22:53:59 <Life_is_a_Bone> trying to connect to my wifi
Dec 09 22:54:04 <zmatt> /etc/network/interfaces isn't being used
Dec 09 22:54:16 <zmatt> connman is the network manager used by default
Dec 09 22:54:46 <Life_is_a_Bone> ok I thought i read somewhere that it overrides connman
Dec 09 22:54:55 <Life_is_a_Bone> connman was not doing the job
Dec 09 22:55:00 <Life_is_a_Bone> but in regards to apt-get
Dec 09 22:55:06 <Life_is_a_Bone> I havent done much
Dec 09 22:55:15 <Life_is_a_Bone> I am on an SD card
Dec 09 22:55:25 <Life_is_a_Bone> i have plenty of room its a 32gb
Dec 09 22:55:29 <zmatt> ok
Dec 09 22:55:44 <Life_is_a_Bone> now i am assuming i am booting from the SD Card
Dec 09 22:56:04 <Life_is_a_Bone> for the BBG it supposed to boot from the card if it is inserted but I am not sure how I can confirm
Dec 09 22:56:07 <zmatt> if the card is bootable, it will default to booting from that
Dec 09 22:56:23 <Life_is_a_Bone> i used etcher
Dec 09 22:56:26 <zmatt> what does this say:  df -h /
Dec 09 22:57:04 <Life_is_a_Bone> to flash the card
Dec 09 22:57:06 <Life_is_a_Bone> Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mmcblk0p1   30G  2.9G   26G  10% /
Dec 09 22:57:22 <Life_is_a_Bone> loooks like i am ok
Dec 09 22:57:22 <zmatt> yep, you're running from sd card and have plenty of space
Dec 09 22:57:56 <Life_is_a_Bone> so I want to get LXDE going but chromium-common keeps messing everything up
Dec 09 22:57:59 <Life_is_a_Bone> should I just start over
Dec 09 22:58:00 <zmatt> just curious, why were you trying to install lxde ?  you have an lcd cape?
Dec 09 22:58:24 <zmatt> yes I noticed from the error that you had some weird mix of different versions or something
Dec 09 22:58:40 <Life_is_a_Bone> i want to forward to Xserver so I can just drive via putty
Dec 09 22:58:57 <Life_is_a_Bone> i read that I need a gui
Dec 09 22:59:03 <Life_is_a_Bone> like GNOME
Dec 09 22:59:23 <Life_is_a_Bone> i went for lxde since it seemed simpler ideally to get installed and working
Dec 09 22:59:25 <zmatt> you want to use X forwarding... uh, okay...
Dec 09 22:59:56 <zmatt> you don't actually need a full desktop environment for that, or indeed any xserver at all on the beaglebone side, just installing whatever programs you want to run should suffice
Dec 09 23:00:51 <Life_is_a_Bone> the goal is to start making stuff and using the cloud9 or  labview
Dec 09 23:01:15 <Life_is_a_Bone> if you think there is a better way i am open to it. I am new at this
Dec 09 23:02:38 <Life_is_a_Bone> I installed firefox
Dec 09 23:02:42 <Life_is_a_Bone> maybe that did it
Dec 09 23:03:03 <zmatt> why would you want to run a browser on the beaglebone?
Dec 09 23:03:27 <Life_is_a_Bone> i want to get a driver on there so I can get my wireless working
Dec 09 23:03:31 <Life_is_a_Bone> still not working correctly
Dec 09 23:03:39 <zmatt> drivers are preinstalled
Dec 09 23:03:40 <Life_is_a_Bone> that is sort of the impetus for everything
Dec 09 23:03:49 <zmatt> wait
Dec 09 23:04:11 <zmatt> do you have a BBGW or are you using some usb wifi adapter?
Dec 09 23:04:17 <Life_is_a_Bone> usb wifi
Dec 09 23:04:21 <Life_is_a_Bone> i have a stock BBG
Dec 09 23:04:24 <Life_is_a_Bone> not the BBGW
Dec 09 23:04:41 <zmatt> does it does up when you check "ip link" ?
Dec 09 23:04:47 <zmatt> *show up
Dec 09 23:05:13 <Life_is_a_Bone> it sees the wireless dongle
Dec 09 23:05:19 <Life_is_a_Bone> i got it from the approved list
Dec 09 23:05:27 <zmatt> then you don't need to install a driver
Dec 09 23:06:03 <Life_is_a_Bone> i keep getting a message that is fails raise wlan0
Dec 09 23:06:32 <zmatt> when using connman?
Dec 09 23:06:44 <Life_is_a_Bone> then when i go to the log it says wpa_somthing failed to start
Dec 09 23:07:11 <Life_is_a_Bone> on conman i can scan wifi, turn the agent on, and list services
Dec 09 23:07:19 <zmatt> because you're trying to use ifup, it's fighting with connman, and loses
Dec 09 23:08:02 <Life_is_a_Bone> ok so i should say connman connect?
Dec 09 23:08:08 <Life_is_a_Bone> at the prompt
Dec 09 23:08:45 <zmatt> I don't really know how connman works, but you should either use it or get rid of it.  mixing different network managers generally doesn't work :)
Dec 09 23:08:46 <Life_is_a_Bone> also when connman has *A by your router what does that mean
Dec 09 23:09:49 <zmatt> by the interface you mean?  it probably defaults to access point like it would on wireless-only beaglebone variants
Dec 09 23:10:03 <Life_is_a_Bone> ok
Dec 09 23:10:09 <zmatt> but i'm purely guessing here, I don't actually know
Dec 09 23:10:12 <Life_is_a_Bone> i will google conman specifics
Dec 09 23:10:21 <Life_is_a_Bone> any idea on the apt-get thing
Dec 09 23:10:26 <Life_is_a_Bone> i cannot install anything now
Dec 09 23:10:36 <Life_is_a_Bone> always brings up that stupid chromium error
Dec 09 23:10:37 <zmatt> my guess would be: you somehow made a big mess
Dec 09 23:10:38 <Life_is_a_Bone> i tried purge
Dec 09 23:10:43 <Life_is_a_Bone> haha
Dec 09 23:10:50 <Life_is_a_Bone> should I just wipe
Dec 09 23:11:12 <zmatt> apt can get really annoying when you have broken half-installed packages
Dec 09 23:11:23 <Life_is_a_Bone> ok
Dec 09 23:11:41 <Life_is_a_Bone> is there any like brute force option that will just blow out everything
Dec 09 23:11:50 <Life_is_a_Bone> apt-get destroy and rebuild
Dec 09 23:12:05 <zmatt> you can try   sudo dpkg --force-all --remove   followed by the package names
Dec 09 23:12:39 <zmatt> then  apt-get -f install    to try to fix up the system
Dec 09 23:13:46 <zmatt> if chromium got pulled in as dependency and whatever problem caused this version mess is still present, it might just recreate the problem
Dec 09 23:14:18 <zmatt> reflashing might be faster and safer
Dec 09 23:15:48 <Life_is_a_Bone> ok
Dec 09 23:15:52 <Life_is_a_Bone> well thanks for your help
Dec 09 23:15:57 <zmatt> and maybe consider *not* installing a gui, since I haven't seen you actually mention any compelling reason to do so (you mentioned cloud9 but it is preinstalled and doesn't require a gui on the bbb, you just connect to it with your browser)
Dec 09 23:16:22 <Life_is_a_Bone> ok
Dec 09 23:16:43 <Life_is_a_Bone> could i do the port forwarding without a gui on the BB
Dec 09 23:16:55 <Life_is_a_Bone> just in case down the road i want to?
Dec 09 23:16:57 <zmatt> port forwarding? to what?
Dec 09 23:17:09 <Life_is_a_Bone> say i want to run matlab
Dec 09 23:17:13 <Life_is_a_Bone> joking
Dec 09 23:17:23 <Life_is_a_Bone> i dunno something that is gui driven from the bB
Dec 09 23:17:24 <zmatt> lol
Dec 09 23:17:45 <Life_is_a_Bone> just to have the capbility
Dec 09 23:17:57 <zmatt> if you find yourself wanting to run matlab on the bbb, my recommendation would be to pause for a moment and rethink your life
Dec 09 23:18:00 <zmatt> ;)
Dec 09 23:19:35 <zmatt> you're asking hypothetical questions about an obscure and unlikely situation... the reason one might want to have a gui on the bbb is if it actually has a display attached.  you don't
Dec 09 23:22:04 <Life_is_a_Bone> fair point I will wait until i get a cape
