**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jun 29 02:59:58 2016 Jun 29 09:19:50 Hi Jun 29 09:20:20 can VNC be installed on beaglebone black by powering it with USB Jun 29 09:20:26 from a computer Jun 29 11:30:09 hello everyone, Im trying to setup the remote debugger for the BBB with eclipse and whenever I try to connect to my BBB through debug it says cannot write file or it simply gets stuck at 57 perccent. Has anybody experienced similar behaviour. I am working on win7 and the BBB has debian 7.9 with the 3.14 rt kernel Jun 29 12:05:14 I found it easier to use gdb on the BBB, though that's got its own set of warts. Jun 29 12:10:09 hey guys. can someone help me plz. i'm new with linux distributions and try to setup a beaglebone for penetration testing. currently i'm using the debian 8.4 image from http://beagleboard.org/latest-images for my bbb. i wanted to install a desktop to it and it fails everytime Jun 29 12:11:12 i tried the instructions descriped here: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Desktops_On_Ubuntu/Debian - nothing worked Jun 29 12:14:04 Noob1337: what does failing mean here? Jun 29 12:15:56 also, you most likely want http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Installing_LXDE instead of gnome Jun 29 12:16:28 Noob1337: get a copy of Michael Kofler's book Jun 29 12:19:13 i tried to install LXDE and after it started to uninstall conman i waited about an hour and connected a monitor to it. it stucked at booting. gnome didn't install with the last lines: debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo tasksel install gnome-desktop --new-install tasksel: apt-get failed (100) Jun 29 12:20:25 does someone know which OS and Desktop i can install on a BBB to get a running system? Jun 29 12:34:28 Noob1337: out of curiosity, why didn't you just download wheezy/lxqt image that comes with a desktop? Jun 29 12:35:10 also, you typically want to check what apt says it's installing and especially uninstalling before allowing it to proceed ... Jun 29 12:36:06 KotH: you mean this one https://www.amazon.com/programmieren-Anwendungen-erstellen-Visual-Applikationen/dp/3827315301 right? Jun 29 12:37:52 ionakka_: of course not Jun 29 12:38:29 KotH: that was just semitrolling way of saying that authors name itself is not sufficient to identify useful book :p Jun 29 12:38:55 https://www.amazon.com/LINUX-Installation-Configuration-Michael-Kofler/dp/0201178095 this might be actually closer what you meant Jun 29 12:39:12 ionakka_: well.. for anyone speaking german and talking about linux, the name kofler in combination with a book is veeery specific Jun 29 19:46:11 I really need some help Jun 29 19:46:28 just can't get uart enabled on BBGW Jun 29 19:46:37 anyone able to help? Jun 29 19:47:11 recompiled and installed the latest mraa libs on the latest debian 8.5 Jun 29 19:48:30 Ive tried `config pin XXX uart` but just get `pinmux file not found` Jun 29 19:49:06 Ive tried reloading the overlays, but noe are found Jun 29 19:49:32 i could go on, but noone listening Jun 29 19:49:38 *sigh* Jun 29 19:50:13 I am running node 6.2 with appropriately customised and recompiled libs Jun 29 20:11:51 My experience is when no one answers, likely no one can help. I know I have no clue how to do anything with the UART, so while I responded, you're no better off. (shrug) Jun 29 20:12:54 thanks anyway Jun 29 21:31:14 Hi. Jun 29 21:36:14 I am searching for a distro for beaglebone black. I don't know what to choose, i'll probably take a debian but there are lots of different versions. I don't need a GUI (i don't have a screen on the BBB and will use it over SSH). I'd like to learn how to use peripherals like EQEPs and PRUs, so I'd like something where they're not too hard to use. Does anyone have something good to test ? Jun 29 21:50:54 For PRU use a bone kernel, ie something-bone. There are various to choose from. You may also install a normal TI kernel and apt-get install a bone version. Jun 29 21:51:52 I'm currently using 4.1.19-bone20, but that's pretty old by now; bone kernels have uio_pruss rolled in, where TI kernels use remoteproc. My xp with remoteproc has been complete tragedy. Jun 29 23:46:59 Hello... Jun 29 23:47:41 Has anyone viewed the book, "Programming the BeagleBone Black" by Simon Monk? Jun 29 23:48:08 It is about three years old. Jun 29 23:58:29 He updated some code files for Debian for the BBB. This is great since things have changed. Jun 29 23:58:48 GitHub.com carries these new, updated files. Jun 29 23:59:48 Something must be wrong with Socket.io. I say this b/c the BBB cannot work with socket.io as a server. Jun 30 00:00:44 I was going to make some webpage listen to my commands and control the motors from the BBB/MotorBridgeCape. Jun 30 00:01:07 ... Jun 30 00:01:21 Does anyone use socket.io or a similar product? Jun 30 00:02:11 I have been working on a R/C mower with the BBB. Jun 30 00:03:23 I just set up the WiFi on the BBB for understanding the commands from the server and webpage. Jun 30 00:29:30 Set_: How's it not working? Errors? Should be running with node Jun 30 00:29:47 WiFi? Jun 30 00:29:51 Or socket.io? Jun 30 00:29:59 Latter, socket.io :) Jun 30 00:30:53 Oh...I do not know. I saw something on GitHub.com about the socket.io not have buildpassing. Jun 30 00:31:18 I thought this meant the build was garbage as of now. Jun 30 00:31:56 Ah, you've not tried installing it? I'd give it a try Jun 30 00:32:05 What do you mean? Jun 30 00:32:26 Do you mean install it on my BBB? Jun 30 00:34:11 Yes, installing https://www.npmjs.com/package/socket.io package. I might be misinterpreting the problem? Jun 30 00:34:26 Okay...thank you. Jun 30 00:35:02 I figured it was given. I will go to npmjs.com and look up socket.io. Thank you, again. Jun 30 00:36:11 Yeah, if you want to use functionality of nodejs you'd need to obtain the packages. They're basically libraries you pull and use Jun 30 00:36:43 Aw...okay. Packages = libraries Jun 30 00:37:04 I have not used npm much recently or node for that matter. Jun 30 00:37:36 I've not read the book you're talking about so I'm not familiar with the codebase of simon monk Jun 30 00:38:13 Yea node can be quite handy. Made a IRC-bot controlling my kerbal space program missions Jun 30 00:38:29 But sure as hell can eat your memory and performance Jun 30 00:38:48 Oh...Cool. Heh...um? Can I use git clone to get socket.io? Jun 30 00:39:17 I think there is something I am missing. Jun 30 00:39:43 sudo npm install socket.io Jun 30 00:39:49 No joke? Jun 30 00:39:52 Hhahaha. Cool. Jun 30 00:40:11 npm comes standard on the BBB now. Jun 30 00:40:26 Small miracles. Jun 30 00:40:30 Yea think of it as the apt-get of node Jun 30 00:40:34 ^^ Jun 30 00:40:47 Oh. Jun 30 00:41:15 I got it now. Jun 30 00:41:58 So if you publish your own library to npm you'd (or I would) be able to pull your library by sudo npm install setscoollibrary Jun 30 00:42:25 Aw. Jun 30 00:42:51 Might be a problem of dependencies if you decide to remove it tho ;) Jun 30 00:42:56 There was an... incident Jun 30 00:43:00 Oh? Jun 30 00:43:03 What happened? Jun 30 00:43:20 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/03/23/npm_left_pad_chaos/ Jun 30 00:43:26 People backlashed? Jun 30 00:44:09 Some people are hell bent on using dependencies and got hit when it no longer existed :D Jun 30 00:44:31 Yep. I know. I am similar. I do not know everything just yet. Jun 30 00:45:58 socket.io is a big program. Jun 30 00:46:01 Yikes. Jun 30 00:46:37 Indeed, and that's quite normal and okay. However, the library in question was just left padding with zeros or spaces ^^ Jun 30 00:47:08 Anyways, hope you figure it out. Need to head to bed. Maybe someone will pick up if you stay in the channel Jun 30 00:47:19 Hey...m0b? What about .json. Do I need to install that too? Jun 30 00:47:41 Okay...see you later. Jun 30 00:48:21 If socket.io needs it as a dependency, yeah. The error messages usally says something about libraries missing if it's not working. I usally just google for the dependencies Jun 30 00:48:34 Okay...thank you. Jun 30 00:48:40 Np :) Jun 30 00:51:49 Do I need to download bonescript into my home directory to run var require('bonescript') types of files? Jun 30 00:52:03 i.e. without c9? Jun 30 00:55:25 I am on break. I will be right back. Jun 30 01:37:01 date and time affect my BBB. How can I stop my BBB from producing a "one-day-in-advance" system? Jun 30 01:37:57 I say for example, date --set 2016-06-29. I get back, 2016-06-30. Jun 30 01:40:12 Forget it. I found out. It is dpkg-reconfigure tzdata. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Jun 30 02:59:58 2016
