**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Feb 10 02:59:57 2012 Feb 10 03:11:27 Can anyone explain what these kernel messages mean: http://pastebin.com/Y51VsNwj (BeagleBone / omap_mux_init) Feb 10 03:12:03 and what's an 'fck' Feb 10 04:27:31 I need help installing Ubuntu Feb 10 04:27:36 it does not boot up Feb 10 04:28:52 hello Feb 10 04:29:46 T___________________________________________________________________________________________________T Feb 10 04:31:19 I dunno if that is the way to get help Feb 10 04:31:23 :p Feb 10 04:31:43 are you using the wiki instructions Feb 10 04:31:45 ? Feb 10 04:31:49 what do you mean? Feb 10 04:32:10 anyway i got the omap3 image and flashed it Feb 10 04:32:28 I have rev c....do I need to do anything more Feb 10 04:33:40 ? Feb 10 04:33:53 you got it from the ubuntu site? Feb 10 04:35:50 yes Feb 10 04:36:29 do I need a serial port or can i just use hdmi? Feb 10 04:37:21 you can use hdi Feb 10 04:37:30 although I suggest using an image not directly from ubuntu Feb 10 04:37:43 you'll need to do a lot of tinkering to get everything working Feb 10 04:37:48 and there are demo images available Feb 10 04:38:24 I tried the demo image from rcn-ee.net ...that hasn't worked either Feb 10 04:39:29 reary Feb 10 04:39:30 hmm Feb 10 04:39:36 mac / pc / linux ? Feb 10 04:51:29 if i am running linux on my BBXM and i would like to see the processing consumption by the DSP what command can i issue? Feb 10 04:51:44 top Feb 10 04:51:46 df Feb 10 04:52:03 i know those tell me the CPU but i would like to know the DSP Feb 10 04:52:13 ricky_marcus: sudo apt-get install htop Feb 10 04:52:17 I like htop better Feb 10 04:52:41 ricky_marcus: which distro are you running where dsp works well? Feb 10 04:53:05 Angstrom Feb 10 04:53:21 i am running OpenGL Feb 10 04:54:07 ahhh Feb 10 04:54:11 from what i understand, OpenGL sends everything to the DSP Feb 10 04:54:20 I tried angstrom… ouldn't get puredata to compile properly on it Feb 10 04:54:22 im sorry Feb 10 04:54:24 GPU Feb 10 04:55:03 Puredata....never heard of it sorry Feb 10 04:55:08 wish i could help Feb 10 04:56:48 its all good Feb 10 04:57:00 puredata is a visual programming language for doing dsp stuff Feb 10 04:57:03 synthesis Feb 10 04:57:12 as well as abstracting lots of other computing shit Feb 10 04:59:18 hmmmm interesting Feb 10 05:00:20 free software version of another language called max/msp Feb 10 05:00:29 it can do all sorts of openGL shit too Feb 10 05:00:37 using a package called gem Feb 10 05:01:11 angstrom was awesome out of the box… but their repository is missing a lot of packages I need for the dsp stuff… and I couldn't find any documentation on making new packages Feb 10 05:01:18 plus sudo was acting all weird Feb 10 05:01:35 sudo Feb 10 05:01:37 ??? Feb 10 05:01:40 on angstrom Feb 10 05:01:42 ??? Feb 10 05:01:51 I don't like kicking about in root Feb 10 05:02:13 but i though in Angstrom you dont use sudo Feb 10 05:02:32 when you login you use "root" username Feb 10 05:02:42 also have you heard of openembedded Feb 10 05:02:45 ??? Feb 10 05:02:49 it is the best Feb 10 05:02:59 creates all the packages for you Feb 10 05:04:19 yeah I have Feb 10 05:04:22 I was using narcissisus Feb 10 05:04:27 but its similar Feb 10 05:04:50 you cna login as root in any distro and not use sudo Feb 10 05:04:59 the idea with sudo is to not be prancing about the box as root Feb 10 05:05:08 so that if you try to change things you have to think twice Feb 10 05:05:55 true Feb 10 05:06:34 I never though about that.....narcissisus and openembedded Feb 10 05:06:53 Is there a connection between Narcissisus and Openembedded Feb 10 05:07:09 Let me guess Narcissisus uses openembedded Feb 10 05:08:28 I believe it does Feb 10 05:08:31 I think it is built on top Feb 10 05:08:48 Wow i learned something Feb 10 05:10:54 ha Feb 10 05:26:31 Can you run both OpenGL and OpenCV both at the same time on the Beagleboard?? Feb 10 05:31:55 what you do with gl is your own choice Feb 10 05:33:05 Thanks scromp for replying Feb 10 05:33:35 what i mean is that there is no implicit tax for having gl involved Feb 10 05:33:52 it's basically up to you Feb 10 05:33:55 I guess i would like to know if the Beagleboard has enough processing power to handle it. Feb 10 05:34:16 handle what? Feb 10 05:34:38 Run both OpenGL and OpenCV at the same time Feb 10 05:34:49 .. Feb 10 05:35:19 if quake works that's enough Feb 10 05:35:26 yes. it can do both. Feb 10 05:36:04 but it might not be able to run your code effectively Feb 10 05:37:07 What i would like to do is create a 3d object using OpenGL and paste that object to using OpenCV Feb 10 05:37:28 Scromp have you done this before Feb 10 05:37:34 ?? Feb 10 05:37:34 no Feb 10 05:37:57 Do you have experience with OpenGL or OpenCV?? Feb 10 05:38:17 yes Feb 10 05:38:23 Both??? Feb 10 05:38:54 only barely opencv.. but it is irrelevant to your questions which are too amorphous to really answer Feb 10 05:39:29 If i am not mistaken... OpenGL runs on the SGX/GPU Feb 10 05:39:52 also if i am not mistaken, OpenCV runs on the CPU Feb 10 05:40:09 so that, at least i think, gives me a chance Feb 10 05:40:36 even if they all ran on the same cpu *it depends on what you are doing with them* Feb 10 05:40:49 so is anyone playing with linaro? Feb 10 05:41:01 me Feb 10 05:41:09 and you have dsp working????? Feb 10 05:41:15 did you say that earlier? Feb 10 05:41:33 Well i am working with linaro Feb 10 05:41:35 sorry Feb 10 05:41:48 i used it to get android ice cream S.... Feb 10 05:42:04 sorry Feb 10 05:44:29 but is your dsp working? Feb 10 05:44:36 sound input and output? Feb 10 05:44:38 yes Feb 10 05:44:46 wait Feb 10 05:44:48 sorry Feb 10 05:44:53 i dont use the DSP Feb 10 05:44:57 sorry Feb 10 05:45:23 all god Feb 10 05:45:29 what do you use android for? Feb 10 05:45:52 Does anybody know if OpenCV does in fact run on the the Beagleboards DSP???? Feb 10 05:46:12 I have designed a Kinect app Feb 10 05:46:25 that app runs on android ICS Feb 10 05:48:45 oh I'm working withthe kinect too Feb 10 05:48:58 openCV now makes sense Feb 10 05:49:03 have you tried openni? Feb 10 05:50:14 Yes Feb 10 05:50:20 that is what i am using Feb 10 05:50:35 i have used one of there apps and modified it Feb 10 05:50:47 i guess i should say i did not write an app Feb 10 05:50:56 i modified an app Feb 10 05:50:57 lol Feb 10 05:51:06 c++? Feb 10 05:51:15 both Feb 10 05:51:16 have you heard of openframeworks? Feb 10 05:51:46 no Feb 10 05:52:48 you should use it Feb 10 05:53:12 i am looking at it as we speak Feb 10 05:53:57 its a framework for doing this kind of stuff Feb 10 05:54:05 toolkit I guess Feb 10 05:54:12 wow Feb 10 05:54:17 i never heard of it Feb 10 05:54:20 i like it Feb 10 05:55:16 i wish i would have talked you you about 4 months ago Feb 10 05:55:28 its exactly what we need Feb 10 05:56:56 do you think the Beagleboard has enough power to run it Feb 10 05:57:41 ?? Feb 10 05:57:52 i dunno Feb 10 05:57:59 more like can you get it to work Feb 10 05:58:00 :D Feb 10 05:58:08 lol Feb 10 07:11:25 does anyone have a beagleboard running which has OpenCV installed Feb 10 07:11:27 ??? Feb 10 07:19:34 if you want to know the DSP processing usage on a Pandaboard that is running Angstrom......what would be the command Feb 10 07:19:43 Beagleboard Feb 10 07:19:52 if you want to know the DSP processing usage on a Beagleboard that is running Angstrom......what would be the command Feb 10 07:19:56 ?? Feb 10 07:20:39 there is no such command Feb 10 07:22:03 Really Feb 10 07:22:42 so like for the CPU i use top or ps Feb 10 07:23:31 how can we tell if we are overloading the DSP??\ Feb 10 07:24:14 dunno Feb 10 07:26:09 <_av500_> ricky_marcus: overloading the dsp by doing what? Feb 10 07:26:16 <_av500_> how are you using the dsp? **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Feb 10 07:28:11 2012 Feb 10 07:32:02 _av500: thanks Feb 10 07:32:07 that really helped Feb 10 07:39:36 <_av500_> ricky_marcus: worry about dsp load once you get there Feb 10 07:42:19 he'll have to get dsp working on linaro first :P Feb 10 07:42:29 I finally installed CCS5 and wait eagerly to load some binaries Feb 10 07:43:18 CCS5 ? Feb 10 07:43:33 code composer studion version 5 Feb 10 07:46:54 I am also going to try OpenOCD this weekend Feb 10 07:47:28 code composer??? what do you do with code composer? Feb 10 07:47:50 maybe stydy some register values Feb 10 07:48:27 which could help to get OpenOCD to issue halt to A8 Feb 10 10:09:19 hi av500 Feb 10 12:09:19 any1 going to embedded-world.eu end of the month? Feb 10 12:09:30 maybe Feb 10 12:41:28 snaakje: LetoThe2nd and I will be there by the looks of it Feb 10 12:41:48 trying to find a place to sleep. seems to be pretty full already :( Feb 10 13:31:13 hello Feb 10 13:31:35 I have problem with aac encoding in container, Feb 10 13:32:09 anybody tried with aacheenc -> qtmux, flvmux Feb 10 13:32:37 ? Feb 10 13:36:00 and this is beagle related how? Feb 10 13:40:13 yes Feb 10 13:40:23 I am on dm3730 Feb 10 13:41:05 I want to encapsulate h264 + aac in flv or qt Feb 10 13:41:18 but only video is working Feb 10 13:41:42 I found that codec_data field is missing in tiaudenc1.c Feb 10 14:23:15 koen: is mkfs.ext2 no longer in e2fsprogs? Feb 10 14:24:20 e2fsprogs-mke2fs doesn't seem to be in the angstrom feed. Feb 10 14:31:20 jkridner: not sure Feb 10 14:31:44 e2fsprogs-mke2fs_1.42-r2_armv7a.ipk Feb 10 14:31:52 should be in the feeds Feb 10 16:08:44 anyone got an idea why my samsung syncmaster 245e won't work as a display for the beagleboard? Cable is right, as in: its fits on both ends, hdmi-wise. Feb 10 16:09:06 when i turn the beagle on, the screen turns orange for 5 seconds then goes black. Feb 10 16:10:29 orange is correct if depending on your MLO Feb 10 16:11:00 what happens on the serial port? Feb 10 16:19:26 MLO? Feb 10 16:19:49 ok, gonna check serial port. if i can find the proper cable (amongst the 30000 cables I have lying about). Feb 10 16:20:13 that beagleboard is too small. it's lost :) Feb 10 16:20:22 does you kernel have DSI PLL support? Feb 10 16:21:51 it's out of the box from tigal. Feb 10 16:22:10 never mind. Feb 10 16:22:16 brb Feb 10 16:26:02 grrrr. Feb 10 16:26:19 thought i had the wrong sd card in it. but no, it's the right one. Feb 10 16:27:45 if the orange is normal then it's not a prob. with that monitor which i thought was the case. Feb 10 16:28:04 i'll go RTFM, sorry ;) Feb 10 16:29:37 snaakje: is this an xM or a classic beagleboard?? Feb 10 16:29:43 classic. Feb 10 16:29:57 i need to RTFM some more. Feb 10 16:30:22 if it's classic try holding down the user button when it's starting to boot Feb 10 16:30:24 don't even know if it only boots from sd or also has some sort of NAND-whatever memory on which a kernel etc. is stored. Feb 10 16:30:28 LURK MOAR Feb 10 16:30:31 :) Feb 10 16:30:32 I kid, I kid. Feb 10 16:30:43 yeah, i will go sit in a corner now and RTFM. Feb 10 16:31:14 * snaakje is gonna look for da user button. Feb 10 16:31:20 I need to fire off a beagle build now that I have a seemingly working oe-core build setup Feb 10 16:31:24 there is only 2 buttons Feb 10 16:31:36 one is labeled "reset" Feb 10 16:31:39 and one is reset Feb 10 16:31:39 but they're so small for my old eyes :) Feb 10 16:31:42 Can Feb 10 16:31:46 CAN Feb 10 16:33:00 * snaakje should be drinking now, weekend has begun. Feb 10 16:33:03 Can you run Android ICS on the Beagleboard XM? Feb 10 16:45:32 Anyone Feb 10 16:45:48 if you port it, yes Feb 10 16:46:57 and http://review.omapzoom.org/#change,18986 seems to indicate that TI is working on ICS for omap3 Feb 10 16:49:01 My understanding is that the old Beagleboard used a omap processor but the new Beagleboard-XM uses a DaVinci processor.....DM3730 Feb 10 16:49:07 Is it it hard to port it Feb 10 16:49:19 Lets suppose i am a one man team Feb 10 16:51:39 Russ, thanks, will see you at ELC Feb 10 16:52:06 thanks! Feb 10 16:53:14 yeah, there's a few android phones that would probably run ICS alright Feb 10 16:53:21 er, omap3 android phones Feb 10 16:53:30 ok, anybody know if xM usb worked on a mainline 3.2.x off-hand? Feb 10 16:53:51 * mdp is probably going to have to go back and check Feb 10 16:54:12 erk Feb 10 16:54:55 mdp: iirc the patches went in, but it might have been broken again in 3.1 Feb 10 16:55:46 dm3730 vs omap3530.. same line different prefiix for marketing Feb 10 17:00:20 * mranostay waves Feb 10 17:00:40 thanks thurbad and av500 Feb 10 17:01:10 * mranostay checks clock Feb 10 17:01:34 Another question. If got a kernel that was meant to run on the original Beagleboard. Can that same kernel run on the Beagleboard XM? Feb 10 17:02:06 I did try it....but i lose internet connection Feb 10 17:02:15 Daniel_: if the machine option is set (i think) Feb 10 17:02:37 i wondered if it has something to do with that Feb 10 17:04:16 when i try configuring the internet....in other words i run ifconfig command i see that my nic card is not detected Feb 10 17:04:28 when i try to load the driver....i notice that the driver is missing Feb 10 17:11:23 This is what i do. I create a image from narcissus. Although i keep the filesystem. i replace the kernel. When i boot up the board. i dont have internelt. I have noticed that it is beacause i dont have the nic driver loaded. When i try to load the driver...i get an error. It says that the driver is meant for the original kernel Feb 10 17:12:32 koen, kicked off a 3.2.x build/boot test..we'll see Feb 10 17:12:54 it's difficult to call things regressions if they've just been neglected for an eternity Feb 10 17:23:25 av500: isn't ICS already done on omap3: http://code.google.com/p/rowboat/wiki/ICSonBeagleboard_WithSGX Feb 10 17:25:07 mru, how was the Tide House Feb 10 17:25:26 beer was good Feb 10 17:25:39 what's the weather like? Feb 10 17:25:45 * koen is packing his suitcase Feb 10 17:25:49 koen: reasonable Feb 10 17:26:19 between 10 and 20 degrees C? Feb 10 17:26:33 something like that Feb 10 17:26:40 yeah Feb 10 17:26:47 not like Brussels Feb 10 17:26:53 beer is important Feb 10 17:30:12 I'm counting on at least 2 t shirts at ELC Feb 10 17:30:33 <_av500_> jkridner__: all the better Feb 10 17:32:48 koen: hehe, funny Feb 10 17:33:18 koen: i just went to the concierge and picked up two shirts for ELC Feb 10 17:35:02 prpplague: ditch the red shirts if you want to avoid more posts about your impending doom Feb 10 17:35:27 * prpplague purchased a red TI shirt Feb 10 17:35:40 koen: should i go get a blue one? Feb 10 17:35:50 they make you pay for those? Feb 10 17:36:06 over here they have to bribe people into wearing them Feb 10 17:37:05 black polo shirts ftw Feb 10 17:37:32 koen: hehe yea i grabbed a black one as well Feb 10 17:37:38 koen: was iffy about the blue one Feb 10 17:37:55 hmm Feb 10 17:38:09 seems someone has borrowed my flyswatter2 from my desk...... Feb 10 17:38:16 prpplague: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshirt_(character) Feb 10 17:39:00 koen: yea, i knew what you were referring to, hehe Feb 10 17:51:41 prpplague: purchased a vendor shirt? Feb 10 17:51:55 does not compute Feb 10 17:52:19 mranostay: employer shirt Feb 10 17:52:35 <_av500_> compules even less Feb 10 17:52:40 <_av500_> +t Feb 10 17:52:41 er they didnt give you one? Feb 10 17:53:34 * prpplague is a contractor and doesn't get all the gee-whiz benefits Feb 10 17:53:47 you get all the money instead Feb 10 17:53:56 in my experience that's much more useful Feb 10 17:54:02 i never wore a employer polo since it seems by default they pick large for you. :) Feb 10 17:54:13 +1 Feb 10 17:54:18 * _av500_ never wears any polo Feb 10 17:54:24 marco? Feb 10 17:54:39 so I managed to get the tidspbridge kernel modules compiled into a new kernel last night, and installed the dsp binaries on my beagleboard xm… but I'm having some trouble getting alsa to work… more detail at https://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/5b8f0227c7386e46 Feb 10 17:54:49 I'm working with linaro fwiw Feb 10 17:54:52 lucky i've never worked anywhere with a formal dress code :) Feb 10 17:55:08 I refuse to work anywhere with formal dress code Feb 10 17:55:33 * mranostay has a hate for dress shirts Feb 10 17:55:45 <_av500_> TheAlphaNerd: what has alsa to do with dsp? Feb 10 17:56:10 alsa being the driver that interfaces the dsp with jack (which is what I would like to eventually have working) Feb 10 17:56:25 <_av500_> dsp? jack? Feb 10 17:56:27 _av500_: i suspect you never wear polo shirts because you can't find one that will fit you, hehe.... you have to shop at the big and extra extra extra tall store? Feb 10 17:56:31 specifically want to get alsamixer working to test out all the dsp stuff Feb 10 17:56:41 audio stuffs Feb 10 17:57:10 blaaaargh. Feb 10 17:57:15 ERROR: Could not include required file recipes-images/angstrom/systemd-image.bb Feb 10 17:57:34 prpplague, like the generous pension plan? :P Feb 10 17:57:45 anyone else still having this issue? Trying to build for classic beagleboard and I can't seem to get past this. Feb 10 17:58:02 mdp: hehe Feb 10 17:58:48 _av500_: i have to wonder if you were tall as a child or did it all happen over the summer one year, hehe Feb 10 17:58:56 oh Feb 10 17:58:58 never mind Feb 10 17:59:00 goddamnit. Feb 10 17:59:05 * prpplague is really really short Feb 10 18:04:04 Hi. Silly question: How do I subscribe to the google groups mailing list? I've tried subscribing at beagleboard.org, but that redirects me to a page informing me that "The owner of the group has banned you from this group." Mind you, I've never subscribed to the group before. Thanks! Feb 10 18:07:05 <_av500_> we banned you preemptively :) Feb 10 18:07:12 <_av500_> jkridner__: pls fix: ^^^^^^ Feb 10 18:07:33 k. :) Feb 10 18:07:36 prpplague: is that the punchline? :P Feb 10 18:07:38 TonyWatertown: please message me your e-mail address. Feb 10 18:08:10 TonyWatertown: if you happen to have what info you provided when you attempted to subscribe, that might be interesting. Feb 10 18:10:10 jkridner__: The only info I supplied was my email address in the text box at the beagleboard.org support page (and then I hit submit). Feb 10 18:10:23 interesting. Feb 10 18:10:47 realistically, to join now you need to provide a bit of text. Feb 10 18:11:00 I wonder if I should make it a bit easier to join so those boxes really work. Feb 10 18:11:07 but, you shouldn't have been banned. Feb 10 18:11:21 we have multiple people doing the approvals, so it can get messy at times... Feb 10 18:11:38 many requests per day and I try really hard to keep the spam down. Feb 10 18:11:39 mranostay: ?? Feb 10 18:11:54 (though some would consider the some of the people I do let talk spam. :) ) Feb 10 18:12:37 No problem. I understand the need to keep the riff-raff out. ;-) Feb 10 18:12:37 jkridner__: not saying names? :) Feb 10 18:12:58 Another question: Can anyone point me to a resource that I may use to understand how to use the watchdog timer on the XM? Feb 10 18:12:58 mranostay: there's a README in meta-ti, follow it Feb 10 18:13:15 what am i following? :) Feb 10 18:14:57 drat Feb 10 18:14:59 <_av500_> jkridner__: you should ban trolls too Feb 10 18:15:06 muriani: mranostay: there's a README in meta-ti, follow it Feb 10 18:15:11 TonyWatertown: I'm looking for your new request... Feb 10 18:15:15 ping me when you send it. Feb 10 18:15:16 sigh Feb 10 18:15:26 * koen shouldn't be allowed on the internet when having a cold Feb 10 18:15:41 _av500_: I know, I know, but what fun would you have with your troll101 training then? Feb 10 18:16:09 koen: is that your excuse? :) Feb 10 18:16:25 denix: this week it is Feb 10 18:16:42 ah, and what was last week? :) Feb 10 18:16:43 koen, fwiw, works in 3.2.5…it's a hwmod regression Feb 10 18:16:46 koen: I said nevermind, fixed it :P Feb 10 18:16:50 jkridner__: I've packed my "professional troll" shirt Feb 10 18:16:58 I know what excuse would be next week though :) Feb 10 18:17:13 My coffee isn't working this morning. Feb 10 18:17:29 next week is "denix incapicated me with some russian martial arts" Feb 10 18:17:59 mdp: I'm tempted to drop default baudrate to 57600 on beagles Feb 10 18:18:46 _av500_: aren't we all trolls to someone? :) Feb 10 18:19:15 koen, go to 300 so we can follow along instead of using scrollback Feb 10 18:19:40 mdp: is 300 a multiple of the magic corruption timeout as well? Feb 10 18:20:13 TonyWatertown: k, you're in! Feb 10 18:20:43 koen, likely, but mostly it's a happy speed from fond memories Feb 10 18:21:42 mdp: you do know an omap is just a ppc core with qemu running on it, right? Feb 10 18:21:53 I've heard rumors Feb 10 18:21:56 koen: 57600. 115200 have stablity issues? Feb 10 18:22:32 mranostay: with cpuidle enable some bits get corrupted Feb 10 18:22:48 mranostay: 57600 seems to be the speed where the corrupt char gets discarded Feb 10 18:22:54 instead of messing up your terminal Feb 10 18:23:30 mranostay: if you have an hour or so, there's a lovely thread with RMK stating how broken everything is and the skies are falling down Feb 10 18:23:47 link? :) Feb 10 18:23:52 lunch hour reading :) Feb 10 18:24:23 preventing the serial port from sleeping fixes the corrupted bytes on the terminal Feb 10 18:24:32 mranostay: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.serial/6970/ Feb 10 18:24:42 which can be do in sysfs Feb 10 18:25:06 how much power does the RS232 chip (i assume MAX232) use in 'idle'? Feb 10 18:25:09 thurbad: I do want to idle serial for powersaving Feb 10 18:25:20 ah Feb 10 18:25:26 mranostay: internal omap ports and clocks Feb 10 18:25:41 mranostay: you can't go into deep idle with serial enabled Feb 10 18:26:00 * koen forgot the exact state, RET? Feb 10 18:26:03 our application never idles, so keeping the port alive is pretty inconsequential Feb 10 18:27:12 * mranostay smacks head Feb 10 18:28:43 mranostay, you headed west anytime soon? Feb 10 18:29:01 ka6sox: heh i just moved to the Bay Area Feb 10 18:29:28 ha ha..okay so see you @ ELC?

Feb 10 19:09:45 sudo umount /dev/sdb1 Feb 10 19:09:45 right click, eject? Feb 10 19:09:48 ok Feb 10 19:10:03 no if you eject you take out the /dev/ entry Feb 10 19:10:34 ok i did the unmount for botht he partitions Feb 10 19:11:56 where that post says hd_ use sdb Feb 10 19:12:02 do i just follow the instructions and use "sdb" Feb 10 19:12:05 alright, thanks Feb 10 19:12:51 actually you may want to forgo the gzip part Feb 10 19:13:06 ok Feb 10 19:13:37 go to the folder you want to save the image Feb 10 19:14:15 # sudo swapoff -a (2)# sudo dd if=/dev/sdb | beaglebackup.dd.gz ?

I dont see my host drives in /mnt, can i do anything? Feb 10 19:18:32
