**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Nov 29 02:59:59 2018 Nov 29 03:03:09 help Nov 29 08:57:02 LetoThe2nd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0DrXyzlHM8 Nov 29 09:54:06 @zmatt Thanks for you help, I created my own library to controll the character LCD display in beaglebone black in java. Nov 29 14:27:29 this booting issue from sd. I tried a different sd and now no problem. i booted rn's image (LED's moving up and down). the faulty (or incompatible) sd is 8GB HC class 4 ? Nov 29 14:29:46 i'll try the newest image now. Nov 29 15:05:08 Hi all, does anyone know if there are supply issues with the BBBW? It's out of stock on Mouser and Sparkfun (but still at Arrow) Nov 29 15:05:28 Is there an end-of-life out on the BBBW, or are they phasing it out? Nov 29 15:06:41 Also, Element14 only has ~70 of them left Nov 29 15:37:29 anyone? Nov 29 15:58:31 if i boot with the latest image from sd card, is there a password now for ssh root@192.168.7.2. it keeps asking me, blank does not work Nov 29 15:59:29 i've logged in with cloud 9 http://192.168.7.2:3000/ide.html Nov 29 16:28:52 what's the quickest way to copy an entire generic bbb setup onto another one? Nov 29 16:29:30 i tried using dd to copy the contents of the internal memory onto the sd card, but i can't manage to get the other one to boot from the sd card Nov 29 17:04:49 cirrus_: I'm seeing 4371 in stock at element14 Nov 29 17:05:14 cirrus_: regardless, the BBBW is not EOL Nov 29 17:06:53 mike121: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=beaglebone+password Nov 29 17:21:51 so there's no root password? Nov 29 17:23:14 the first link I get is the beaglebone getting-started page which tells you the default username and password Nov 29 17:25:22 "BeagleBone" does not let me get root Nov 29 17:25:39 nowadays openssh by default doesn't even permit logging in as root using password authentication, let alone without even a password Nov 29 17:25:57 When using 'ssh' with the provided image, the username is 'debian' and the password is 'temppwd'. Nov 29 17:26:02 -- https://beagleboard.org/getting-started Nov 29 17:26:20 ah right so im just better off using cloud 9 and creating a new user etc Nov 29 17:26:44 in the rare case you need root privileges, just use sudo. the debian user has most privileges you'll need in daily use Nov 29 17:27:01 why create a new user? Nov 29 17:27:12 yeah , not much point really Nov 29 18:13:08 so a startup that mines bitcoin just moved in next to my office and i'm scared Nov 29 19:07:34 :-D Nov 29 19:39:48 ayjay_t: feel the heat and the noise from the miners? Nov 29 19:52:47 they have't built any yet Nov 29 19:52:56 but they spend all day talking and don't do any work Nov 29 19:53:08 and they're funded on state money Nov 29 19:53:14 ... Nov 29 19:53:46 a state-funded bitcoin mining startup? okay then Nov 29 19:55:32 connecticut is in a really questionable economic situation Nov 29 19:55:51 and it's reflected by the quality of special initiatives Nov 29 19:56:22 it breaks my heart, i've been here for 31 years, but it's just not a viable situation Nov 29 19:59:52 these guys don't mine. Have no miners. They don't make noise or heat. Nov 29 19:59:58 whazzaproblem? Nov 29 20:00:49 okay so they just moved in. A) I live/work in an actual ghetto, and so my office building is mostly therapists B) they just moved in and C) we're on a river so their "plan" is to restort the water mill to functionality and use that to mine bitcoin Nov 29 20:01:00 the whole having other tech people here is _really_ unusual for me Nov 29 20:01:23 i'm avoiding them and they spend most of their time just like, talking to each other about nothing so Nov 29 20:01:31 but the walls are paper thin rofl Nov 29 20:01:39 if they use beagles for some reason maybe i'll say hi :-p Nov 29 20:01:49 they won't get anywhere...don't worry. Nov 29 20:02:12 lifes not fair :-( they got lots of money to do this BS Nov 29 20:02:25 there are miner rigs which use beagles (typically feature-reduced knockoffs) for controlling/managing the rig or something Nov 29 20:02:33 yeah i've seen them too Nov 29 20:02:48 for what its worth, the companies that made mining rigs _exploaded_ in value Nov 29 20:03:10 they'll have to go away in short order if they have no miners, no cooling. Designing a BTC miner from scratch is not a quick thing. Nov 29 20:03:27 no you don't understand the state i live in Nov 29 20:03:30 supply chains and lead time etc. Nov 29 20:03:31 maybe you can offer your services Nov 29 20:03:37 leech some of their money Nov 29 20:03:42 yeah thats what i was thinking zmatt but i'm scoping out the situation Nov 29 20:03:59 i have to decide what type of working relationship we'd have based on their culture Nov 29 20:04:13 egos, politics, etc Nov 29 20:04:23 contracts Nov 29 20:04:47 well, fortunately the paper-thin walls lets you get some insight into them Nov 29 20:04:52 :-P Nov 29 20:05:06 it's not my first rodeo :-P Nov 29 20:05:47 but we should be starting sales on our main product line again Nov 29 20:05:56 i've been building out user interface and demos to help me sell Nov 29 20:06:30 people were eager on the concept but i don't think we had enough demo/clout to close the deal, we were asking for presales Nov 29 20:08:19 obviously i'll be asking for feedback her Nov 29 20:08:20 here* Nov 29 20:08:26 gimme a bit :-p Nov 29 20:11:52 I wouldn't let them owe me $. Nov 29 20:13:19 i mean state money is good Nov 29 20:13:29 i've also delt with a lot of types of clients i know how to get my money and cut my losses Nov 29 20:13:34 i'm not going to give a startup 90 days NET Nov 29 20:14:27 the problem i have with engineering startups without component technical leadership is that at some point on the arduous road to market is that they go down and flames and usually go after their contracts for scapegoats Nov 29 20:14:56 go down in flames and go after their contractors as scapegoats* sorry Nov 29 20:15:22 Thay must pay in advance. Nov 29 20:15:54 so depending on whether or not i think they're competent i need to try and structure the contract so that they A) can't do that B) figure out how i can help them not do that and C) make sure any overly-aggressive contracts from their legal team give me a fundamental service/supplyline advantage (think IBM and Broadcom) Nov 29 20:16:34 <-- not my first rodeo Nov 29 20:16:50 but i'd rather launch open source engineering tools that help everyone :-P **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Nov 30 03:00:00 2018
