**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 03 02:59:58 2016 Apr 03 03:19:32 hello... Apr 03 03:19:59 Should I use a 5v power supply to update my Linux Distro? Apr 03 03:20:04 oh BBB? Apr 03 03:22:35 5v or USB? Apr 03 03:28:42 use a power supply if you have it Apr 03 03:29:00 Okay... Apr 03 03:29:07 you don't want to loose power in the middle of an upgrade/update Apr 03 03:29:28 I got it. I also need to know about what OS to get. Apr 03 03:30:50 lxqt 4GB is what I need but I want to write the image file to my BBB with a microSD card. Apr 03 03:32:19 How do I see what OS I currently have on my BBB? Apr 03 03:41:54 Why would I need the flasher form of lxqt Jessie? Apr 03 03:58:18 okay...I have a .img.xz file on my BBB but I cannot erase it. What can I do to erase it or make it work? Apr 03 03:59:23 nevermind. I got it. Thank you for your assistance as usual. Apr 03 04:12:45 I got what I did now. I was trying to upload the Jessie Flasher to my BBB. I needed the "StandAlone/MicroSD" version. Apr 03 04:12:48 Dang! Apr 03 04:48:55 actually...I have no clue what I did. I must check. Apr 03 07:53:09 I was wrong...it is the Flasher I need to upload to my BBB for having it without SD Card support. Apr 03 07:53:11 Sheesh... Apr 03 07:55:02 hi, assume I see this panic in my baeglebone and it was allready reported here: Apr 03 07:55:04 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/2337544 Apr 03 07:55:27 what can I do more? relplay to the kernel mailing list? Apr 03 07:56:56 citylight2: which kernel version do you run? (output of uname -a) Apr 03 07:57:22 it happened back at 4.1.3 and now at 4.5.0-bone03 Apr 03 07:57:51 https://groups.google.com/forum/embed/?place=forum%2Fbeagleboard&showsearch=true&showpopout=true&showtabs=true&hideforumtitle=true&parenturl=http%3A%2F%2Fbeagleboard.org%2FCommunity%2FForums%2F#!category-topic/beagleboard/9w6cZ0FtMMM Apr 03 09:41:46 Good morning...yea. Apr 03 09:42:03 I got all my updates done finally. Yikes! Apr 03 09:44:20 What is the MachineKit distro available? Apr 03 09:44:27 I am not familiar with it... Apr 03 10:30:14 what are some best tutorials to get started about Beagle bone black? Apr 03 10:36:32 Hi All, Quick question - there is a sort of very slow running discussion on a driver for the ecap unit running on the linux-iio mailing list. Apr 03 10:36:45 There is a long dead driver proposal that I've had a few queries about recently., Apr 03 10:37:02 Wanted to cc an appropriate list to see if anyone was interested in picking it up. Apr 03 10:37:11 I believe it is exposed on the beaglebone black. Apr 03 10:37:30 Would make a nice little 'gaining experience with a real kernel driver' project for anyone who was interested. Apr 03 10:38:05 Anyhow, any thoughts on who to cc? (which list would be most appropriate) Apr 03 10:40:52 the person I'd think about is on the IIO list already Apr 03 10:46:54 the pwmss modules are probably the most excellent example of modules that are more conveniently accessed directly from userspace without bothering with the overhead of the kernel :P Apr 03 11:01:53 hmm. Maybe on the userspace side. Anyhow, thanks. Apr 03 11:52:47 I got to go. Enjoy life! See you all later. Geaux BBB! Apr 03 12:32:31 When migrating to new RCN kernel (from 3.8 to 3.14) i saw a time gap between uboot and kernel which is high in my case. Did anyone noticed this issue Apr 03 12:32:56 and if yes how can i reduce it Apr 03 12:43:35 milad: I'd presonally not bother with 3.14, but go straight to 4.x, but that's just me Apr 03 12:50:45 thanks tbr .i have a general question, what kind kernel and rootfs do u usually use for bbb? I mean yocto. RCN. ti-kernel bbb-kernel ... ? Apr 03 12:52:07 * tbr usually goes with a recent debian image and a recent 4.x kernel, no RT, no TI, just vanilla with the beagleboard/RCN patches Apr 03 12:53:14 so official beagleboard.org image or some testing image from RCN Apr 03 13:01:35 what is meant by "vanilla"? Apr 03 13:02:41 got it [official kernel] ;) Apr 03 13:25:54 how to do nand partiation and copy boot image and kernel image to nand,so it can boot from nand. Apr 03 18:16:41 is there a "correct" way to simply disable rfkill entirely? Apr 03 18:39:11 http://adfoc.us/2542957954871 Apr 03 19:28:54 where might one go to file bugs? Apr 04 00:35:49 Hello, may i ask how to install gcc on my beaglebone black? Apr 04 00:39:19 most of the images i've used have come with it Apr 04 00:39:26 I tried to use apt-get, but it says "command not found" Apr 04 00:39:28 are you on angstrom or debian? Apr 04 00:39:37 angstrom Apr 04 00:39:39 you must be on angstrom, you probably want to flash a new debian image Apr 04 00:39:48 angstrom uses opkg though Apr 04 00:39:55 try opkg install gcc Apr 04 00:40:19 ok, thank you, i will try now Apr 04 00:43:12 Thank you dsockwell, it says it has already been installed. Apr 04 00:56:47 its unusual to have an OS image without gcc Apr 04 00:57:03 but you'll find most of the informatino out there now applies to the new debian images Apr 04 00:57:30 angstrom does have a rather steep learning curve Apr 04 00:58:00 I want to order something Apr 04 00:58:36 where can I order BBB Apr 04 00:59:04 I mean where there are best prize :)= Apr 04 00:59:29 epipe: depends what country you're in .. but there should be a list of vendors on beagleboarg.org Apr 04 00:59:36 EU Apr 04 00:59:45 ok veremit thank you Apr 04 01:00:03 And whether you want an original circuitco one, or an element14 one will be ok Apr 04 01:00:11 (there's no hardware difference) Apr 04 01:00:35 www.rs-online.com have original ones, element14.com their own version. Apr 04 01:01:28 ok Apr 04 01:01:44 cost is fairly comparable normally Apr 04 01:01:57 shipping may differ slightly Apr 04 01:02:15 http://dk.farnell.com/element14/bb-view-70/7inch-lcd-display-cape-for-beaglebone/dp/2364757?COM=superwidget-link_BeagleBoneBlack%20CMPNULL Apr 04 01:02:54 I will order the display too I think Apr 04 01:03:47 epipe: the bbview ones can be a bit tricky .. but the 4d ones definitely work Apr 04 01:04:09 ok. so not the one I linked right? Apr 04 01:05:21 try order code 2451218 Apr 04 01:05:35 I know my boss has the 4.3in version Apr 04 01:06:04 sits just on top of the board. I think resolution is better iirc ... Apr 04 01:06:21 ok Apr 04 01:06:54 also its cheaper Apr 04 01:07:44 oh not available right now Apr 04 01:08:13 maybe the smaller one Apr 04 01:08:58 How does it work. Can I still use the pins. I need to use all UARTS Apr 04 01:11:41 all 4 ? Apr 04 01:11:48 yes Apr 04 01:13:37 take a look-see at http://eskimon.fr/beaglebone-black-gpio-interactive-map and the SRM on the website .. I don't remember off the top of my head... Apr 04 01:14:21 ok ty Apr 04 01:15:34 epipe: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Cape_Expansion_Headers Apr 04 01:16:41 might be stuck for uart5 Apr 04 01:16:53 on a quick glance .. because you need the lcd pins Apr 04 01:17:22 yea Apr 04 01:17:49 nice cheap here Apr 04 01:17:50 http://cpc.farnell.com/element14/bbone-black-4g/beaglebone-black-rev-c-cortex-a8/dp/SC13491 Apr 04 01:35:54 Do the BBG have an extra UART for me to use Apr 04 01:36:02 in this groove connecter Apr 04 01:50:07 I'm having a horrible fight with rfkill on the bbb 8.3 debian image. IT's turning my wifi off, and I can't disable it Apr 04 01:51:01 I suspect this is a systemd interaction but due to the terseness of systemd I have no idea what's triggering it. Apr 04 01:58:54 trelane: sounds normal to me. But I don't know of any fixes .. just thats "correct" behaviour as far as the system is concerned Apr 04 01:59:29 what was wrong with sysvinit that we needed to be subjected to this? Apr 04 02:00:39 this shouldn't even ship Apr 04 02:01:53 it doesn't work and we know it doesn't work Apr 04 02:57:26 veremit, why isn't systemd-rfkill saving status for wifi? Apr 04 02:57:31 I can't even figure out how to force it to do so Apr 04 02:57:50 yea its a glitch .. needs *something* to 'wake it up' Apr 04 02:58:20 since I only used wired .. and I think its been known to happen with that Apr 04 02:58:33 oh wait .. no it was with another arm board I have with onboard wifi .. Apr 04 02:58:50 I *hate* systemd for exactly this kinda crap Apr 04 02:58:58 you *don't* know best .. and *I'm* the user. Apr 04 02:59:05 *grumbles* **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Apr 04 02:59:58 2016
