**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri May 08 02:59:59 2020 May 08 03:04:25 Must have been glibc being upgraded May 08 03:04:49 KenUnix: ? May 08 03:05:50 Sorry DOWNGRADED: libc6 May 08 03:06:20 what are you referring to with "must have been" ? what must have been? May 08 03:06:48 Ignore that. Sorry DOWNGRADED: libc6 May 08 03:07:09 ???? May 08 03:07:43 what are you talking about? or I mean, you're talking about the libc6 install to try to fix the problem, but I don't understand why you're suddenly bringing it up May 08 03:08:03 sudo apt ..... said DOWNGRADED libc6 May 08 03:08:06 yes May 08 03:08:08 and? May 08 03:09:03 just to confirm, can you share (using pastebin) the output of: apt-cache policy libc6 May 08 03:09:23 Conection dropped May 08 03:09:30 just to confirm, can you share (using pastebin) the output of: apt-cache policy libc6 May 08 03:12:50 No BBB can't access internet: https://pastebin.com/1Q4FJXf6 May 08 03:13:24 KenUnix-disco: I'm not talking about your bbb May 08 03:13:34 we've been talking about WSL for the past several hours May 08 03:14:35 okay, it's only been an hour, but you know what I mean May 08 03:16:51 https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JgDMCxnwZ8/ May 08 03:20:39 oh btw it sounds like the issue has been fixed in wsl: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4898#issuecomment-613119541 May 08 03:21:17 I give up. Can't compile on ubunto 20.04 get #include can't open May 08 03:21:19 it also sounds like the package you installed fixes the problem for other people so I don't know why it doesn't for you May 08 03:21:41 KenUnix-disco: oh, earlier you mentioned it removed libc6-dev rather than downgrading it too May 08 03:22:11 try: sudo apt install libc6-dev=2.31-0ubuntu8+lp1871129~1 May 08 03:24:06 Now getting libc6-dev : Depends: libc-dev-bin (= 2.31-0ubuntu8+lp1871129~1) but 2.31-0ubuntu9 is to be installed May 08 03:24:48 E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. May 08 03:25:20 sigh, apt being dumb May 08 03:26:29 try: sudo apt install libc6-{dev,dev-bin}=2.31-0ubuntu8+lp1871129~1 May 08 03:29:18 E: Unable to locate package libc6-dev-bin May 08 03:29:44 ehh May 08 03:30:00 Now I can't compile getting #include can't open May 08 03:30:23 yes you don't need to repeat that, the cause of that has already been identified and is what we're trying to fix May 08 03:31:32 ah my bad May 08 03:32:13 try: sudo apt install {libc6-dev,libc-dev-bin}=2.31-0ubuntu8+lp1871129~1 May 08 03:38:34 I can compile again. Result from sudo apt : https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/q3CgP7mwPK/ May 08 09:27:02 zmatt: trying your trick with the gpio-symlinks in /dev, I get this: https://pastebin.com/yr0RD7MY May 08 09:27:23 can I somehow stop cape-universal to mess with P9_12 ? May 08 09:34:06 thinkfat: my overlay-utils has a USES_PIN macro for that: https://github.com/mvduin/overlay-utils/blob/master/uart4.dtsi#L6-L7 which accomplishes the same as these lines in standard overlays: https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays/blob/master/src/arm/BB-UART4-00A0.dts#L49-L55 May 08 09:34:17 oh wait May 08 09:34:25 gpios, not pins May 08 09:34:35 yeah, no, that's a thing that sucks about cape-universal May 08 09:35:09 although that error shouldn't happen on a beaglebone kernel since it actually patched out gpio conflict checking, which is a horrid workaround May 08 09:35:31 unfortunately status = "disabled"; does not work for children of the gpio-of-helper device May 08 09:35:44 (that should probably be fixed) May 08 09:36:12 basically, if you're making a proper overlay for your hardware, just don't use cape-universal May 08 09:36:35 I'd consider cape-universal to be for quick experiments, not for serious use May 08 09:36:46 alright, I'll just disable it May 08 09:37:46 goneski May 08 10:51:52 m May 08 10:53:58 zmatt: and /delete-node/ doesn't work with overlays May 08 10:54:52 ok, seems to work just fine. now I can complete the hardware assembly and actually test the thing ;) May 08 10:55:29 thinkfat: correct. I've considered seeing about how hard it would be to add support for /delete-node/ and /delete-property/ to overlays May 08 10:55:41 I'm just not hugely motivated because I don't use overlays May 08 10:56:23 well, for the bbb, wanting to use the stock debian image, it's a matter of convenience mostly May 08 10:56:29 yep May 08 10:56:46 the overlay stuff is nicely integrated so why not use it May 08 10:56:57 I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it May 08 10:57:13 well, besides the lack of /delete-node/ and /delete-property/ (which is really annoying for boolean properties) May 08 10:58:45 and the obnoxious syntax required... I feel like dtc could easily have accepted normal dts fragments as input (just like my overlay-utils does by preprocessing the source) May 08 10:58:48 you'll need patches for two things, a way to represent the /delete- stuff in the dtbo and awareness for it in the "linker" May 08 10:59:15 yeah, it needs a format specification, implementation in dtc, and implementation in u-boot overlays May 08 12:46:18 and another rookie mistake - trying to use a n-channel mosfet as an on-off switch May 08 12:46:54 uhh, why would that be a problem? May 08 12:47:00 I mean, it depends on how it's used I guess May 08 12:47:07 yes May 08 12:48:29 I though, easy, just connect the drain to +5V and the source to the load, right? May 08 12:48:59 but you need a positive Vgs May 08 12:49:18 yes, yes you do May 08 12:49:20 so, you need a gate voltage that is higher than the voltage you want to switch May 08 12:49:40 5V -> load -> FET -> gnd May 08 12:49:56 yes, that would work, but not for me ;) the load is my cape ;) May 08 12:50:12 ?? May 08 13:38:14 thinkfat: oh like that May 08 15:53:47 okay, and after also flipping sda and scl of i2c1 I can actually talk to the devices on the bus May 08 15:54:37 :palm: May 08 15:55:28 lol May 08 15:56:01 now, let's see what I also messed up. uart? spi? May 08 15:56:35 maybe swapped miso and mosi? ;) May 08 15:56:48 maybe... May 08 15:57:05 (although that can be fixed in DT) May 08 17:33:12 Why hdmi output doesn't work since image Debian 9.3 2018-03-05 4GB SD IoT? May 08 20:20:09 maybe I didn't mess up spi. May 08 20:24:10 no, I didn't :-) May 08 20:28:41 and spidev seems to work as well.. May 08 21:37:37 Hello, how can I check to see if my i2c bus is active or in use? May 08 21:38:20 I have not been able to test the ServoCape as everyone is aware of now. But...I think it is b/c of my i2c address not being available. May 08 21:38:32 Does that sound correct? Would I need a udev rule? May 08 21:39:24 Nevermind. May 08 21:53:22 quick and easy! May 08 22:08:08 I am getting an odd message, "ValueError: No I2C device at address: 40." May 08 22:08:56 how is that an odd message? it seems quite specific May 08 22:09:13 though I wonder if that's 40 hex or 40 decimal May 08 22:10:08 Hmm. May 08 22:10:12 I do not know. May 08 22:10:17 Let me go and check. May 08 22:10:36 also, what are you using that's producing this error? since it's definitely not smbus2 May 08 22:11:24 Some fellow over at GHI forums said to watch a video on TopTechBoy.com for the PCA9685. The video stated to use adafruit_servokit. May 08 22:11:53 It does not work. Obviously, I am just trying things while learning more until I can get this Cape to work. May 08 22:12:52 The video was for the Jetson Nano. So, I doubt it would work on the BBB or other related boards. May 08 22:13:57 So, this is how, if GenTooMan is listening, I am conserving my time... May 08 22:14:46 Learn when I can about how to program the PCA9685 in the datasheeet. Then, in the meantime or if I have downtime from learning the datasheet and Python scripts, I try what others have said would work. May 08 22:15:20 okay looks like it's some wrapper around Adafruit_PCA9685 which is a wrapper around Adafruit_GPIO.I2C May 08 22:15:28 Right. May 08 22:15:40 That is why I started to use smbus2 instead. May 08 22:16:12 At first...I goofed up the source once running the setup.py install command. So, I have to start from scratch again. May 08 22:17:24 I used Adafruit_GPIO.I2C b/c that is what came w/ the Adafruit_9685 library but then I changed it to smbus2. I got far but then goofed up. May 08 22:17:54 I will get back to it later. May 08 22:18:02 but anyway, the error is self-explanatory: No I2C device at address: 40 (I'm 99.9% sure they mean 0x40, i.e. 0b1000000) May 08 22:18:12 Oh. May 08 22:18:14 Hmm. May 08 22:18:15 Odd. May 08 22:18:17 which makes sense since that's not the address used by your cape May 08 22:18:22 Oh. May 08 22:18:24 Got it. May 08 22:18:42 Mine is 0b111111, right? May 08 22:19:18 At least, at last glance, this is what I was running on the source. May 08 22:19:47 it's not magically going to change from last time May 08 22:20:41 Okay. May 08 22:20:43 Ha. May 08 22:21:03 Right but I thought there might have been others or myself who configured it to be incorrect thus far. May 08 22:22:10 Am I wrong? B/c, I have not gotten complete holds on this datasheet yet. I am on 7.3.3 and trying. May 08 22:28:57 @zmatt: I am going to reinstall the Adafruit_9685 build and change some things. The only issue I had was during this section of source. May 08 22:29:01 Please hold for the paste. May 08 22:31:44 https://pastebin.com/twj5HUgx is the paste where I use open. I am sure you can see in the short snippet where it is listed. May 08 22:31:52 open is from smbus2. May 08 22:45:20 When I run the Adafruit_PCA9685 source out-of-the-box, I get this error: OSError: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy. May 08 22:59:04 anyway...I need to head to the store. bbl! May 08 23:15:50 There and back in record time! May 08 23:19:48 Hi All (y) D: May 08 23:20:32 Hello...KenUnix. Do you know that the PCA9685 is a complicated piece of tech. for me? May 08 23:21:44 Got a problem after installing Debian 4-6-2020 can't use USB0 to get out to Internet. Get 'connect: Network is unreachable' Can't do anything? May 08 23:22:04 I saw something on google groups. May 08 23:22:10 I meant to email you back. May 08 23:22:12 Please hold. May 08 23:22:31 PCA9685 Yea boy. May 08 23:23:48 https://groups.google.com/d/msg/beagleboard/lT6ukxwo_0A/91SjTVbmBgAJ might be interesting. If you want to view it. May 08 23:24:10 KenUnix: I know. PCA9685 and the i2c on the BBBW is killing me weak spots. May 08 23:24:49 It seems on the new kernel, the connman source takes over. May 08 23:24:59 No matter what... May 08 23:25:08 So, people just cancel it. May 08 23:25:24 I read about connman. Do you mean connmanctl ? May 08 23:25:59 Right. But, you can disable it and stop it. Or like @zmatt said, you can just remove it. May 08 23:26:31 I think he said something about rfkill. I am not completely sure though. you may want to wait for him or another person. May 08 23:26:44 But that's the future rite? So, must figure what's wrong. May 08 23:26:55 Oh. May 08 23:27:07 I don't have WiFi anymore May 08 23:27:12 Argh. May 08 23:27:36 =( >.< =L May 08 23:28:17 So, you need to have Internet on the BBB. Got it. Let me review that link from above. May 08 23:29:28 I can putty to BBB over IP, but BBB can't get out May 08 23:29:53 I sent it to you in email May 08 23:32:07 Oh. May 08 23:32:22 https://groups.google.com/d/msg/beagleboard/iDH_3v2MsrE/yDQUUMatAgAJ is another shorter version of it all. May 08 23:32:28 Just that post. May 08 23:32:47 But, if you want to figure it out. I can help but I would not know how to begin. I am slow to start. May 08 23:34:48 First, we need to figure out how to read connman.d and other config. stuff from connman. May 08 23:34:56 Me, I know nothing about it as of now. May 08 23:36:12 I mean, /etc/connman/ has two files, e.g. a main.conf and a backup of that file. May 08 23:37:10 To tell you the truth, I forgot how I figured out how to make the WiFi work on the BBB. May 08 23:37:38 KenUnix: I can blame you but I removed this or that, added this or that, and then WiFi worked. Geaux BBB! May 08 23:39:27 I found the connman.service file too in /lib/systemd/system/. May 08 23:39:42 I do not want to mess w/ it on this board. But, one day, I can try it out. May 08 23:48:22 connman is for wifi May 08 23:48:55 Right. May 08 23:49:14 connmanctl is the control utility of connman, right? May 08 23:51:53 Oh. I got it. May 08 23:52:37 So, connman is getting in your way of using /network/interfaces/ and you do not want to erase your connman WiFi access to make /network/interfaces/ work? May 09 00:02:47 According to an RCN post network/interfaces won't work anymore May 09 00:08:25 That last link? May 09 00:08:37 I thought he said it would work again. May 09 00:08:56 Once you, if you do remove it, purge the connman that was installed w/ apt. May 09 00:09:30 But. Maybe I am wrong. I will go back and reread it. May 09 00:11:47 KenUnix: I am not really technical on comprehension, i.e. as you can tell. But...I think if you want to try, I will help you once more. May 09 00:12:12 This time, I will write down exactly what I do and when I do it. So, this way, there is some sort of list of steps to take to make it work. May 09 00:13:01 I removing softap0 was a step and then I rebooted but that has been three months back and I have no steps to provide right now. May 09 00:15:05 But...that was for WiFi on the BBB. Are you making the share-a-connection section work now? May 09 00:15:57 Oh. I remember now. May 09 00:16:41 KenUnix: You are trying to share the connection for Internet w/ the host computer/laptop/whatever to get your BBB Internet? May 09 00:17:58 for eLinux.org or for personal projects? May 09 00:29:44 I try to spent creative time updating Elinux. Then I get this routing crap. It's all going into the trash tomorrow May 09 00:33:14 routing? May 09 00:33:19 What do you mean by routing? May 09 00:33:59 Just fyi, I am not in charge. I am unaffiliated. I just like helping specific things in life. Geaux BBB! May 09 00:34:37 Screw it! I'll just go off into the sunset and sit in my chair and be quite like a good retiree should May 09 00:34:44 No! May 09 00:34:57 Please do not leave. I am sure it is a test of patience. May 09 00:35:32 You know. Like, "All who have time must spend it wisely." Or something like that? May 09 00:37:41 Why stress? Routing or whatever it is that is making things incredibly irritating must be for some reason. Having reason in the BBB life is just like any other community. it takes, as I like to say, an "extreme makeover." No? May 09 00:38:45 But seriously... May 09 00:39:44 I think things are getting stressful. Take a hiatius for 10 minutes and throw something w/ extreme force and think that was not smart. May 09 00:40:09 Then, remember. Throwing things is not as useful as learning, teaching, and being a part to something more than oneself. May 09 00:41:14 I mean, "YOu could have picked Greenpeace." Ha! May 09 00:41:23 No offense. May 09 00:54:56 Greenpeace talk about a scientific org perverted and twisted by equally perverted and twisted people May 09 00:55:19 I have had very bad things in my like Cancer twice, a stroke, stomach ulcers, diabetes, major broken leg, in jail it sucks May 09 00:56:13 I count my blessings just being a type 1 diabetic. May 09 00:56:37 Bad luck, I'm a type II May 09 00:57:09 Set - I tried this no go May 09 00:57:13 sudo connmanctl config gadget_0479b7d334fd_usb --ipv4 manual 192.168.7.2 255.255.0.0 192.168.7.1 --nameservers 8.8.8.8 May 09 00:57:23 Okay. May 09 00:57:37 That never worked for me either. May 09 00:58:14 What are you trying to do? connmanctl just works. It works outside of the manual version of setting it up. May 09 00:59:02 I typed connmactl. Once in the prompt, I used the option services. Then, I copied the Oh. May 09 00:59:18 USB_Gadgets stuff. May 09 00:59:39 The ip of the BBB is 192.168.7.2 the pc is 192.168.7.1 needs ipv4 May 09 01:00:05 Okay. Hmm. Let me plug in the old BBB. I have the BBBW in right now. I have been trying to make this darn chip be commanded upon. May 09 01:00:08 Okay. Please hold. May 09 01:00:58 Are nameservers 0.0.0.0 now? May 09 01:01:14 no 8.8.8.8 May 09 01:01:20 Okay. May 09 01:01:25 I am booting now. May 09 01:02:04 the usb gadgget is showing all 00 no. before it had a number May 09 01:02:59 I am usually not doing this stuff but where in the file system should I look? May 09 01:03:19 I went to pop the sd-card out and it went across the room May 09 01:03:20 First off, give out the usb_gadget section of the file system for me, please. May 09 01:03:24 Ha. May 09 01:03:44 Pop, goes the weasle. May 09 01:04:10 the what May 09 01:04:39 I thought your gadget_xxxxxxxxxxxx_usb section to your command was from a specific file. May 09 01:04:59 What file and where? May 09 01:05:28 * R Wired gadget_000000000000_usb May 09 01:05:36 Oh. May 09 01:05:38 Okay. May 09 01:05:51 Hmm. This is new to me. Okay, I need Ethernet first then? May 09 01:06:02 Okay. Let me get a cord. May 09 01:07:35 Now, do you have more than one BBB plugged in? May 09 01:08:48 no May 09 01:08:52 Okay. Good. May 09 01:09:24 Mine says ethernet_xxxxxxxxxx_cable. May 09 01:10:12 Okay. So, this is going on in my world right now. I am installing a library on one BBBW and trying to configure the BBB w/ you on my side. May 09 01:10:34 Since this library is taking all day, I will have to wait, unplug the Ethernet cable, and reboot the BBB. May 09 01:10:41 That way, we can be on the same page. May 09 01:14:12 I am on get:83. I am not sure how many more there is to go. May 09 01:15:31 KenUnix: Are you on wsl, Debian, Ubuntu, or Windows w/ PuTTY? May 09 01:15:45 for bash? May 09 01:16:33 Windows 10 putty. Now that won't connect........................ May 09 01:16:52 Okay. My board kicked me too. May 09 01:18:19 So, do not install the Ethernet at all on the BBB. Once you have the BBB up and running w/ whatever tool used for the BBB bash, try to look at usb_gadgets. I will go and look for it online. May 09 01:20:23 With this I can putty to BBB May 09 01:20:27 sudo connmanctl config gadget_00000000000_usb --ipv4 manual 192.168.7.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.7.1 --nameservers 8.8.8.8 May 09 01:21:28 In PuTTY, just type in 192.168.7.2 and click connect. May 09 01:21:44 yes May 09 01:21:47 Okay. May 09 01:22:00 So, you are using PuTTY from the commandline? May 09 01:22:57 no windows May 09 01:23:34 don't i need to specify dhcp somewhere? May 09 01:28:14 I am not sure yet. I am on Get:145 and it is still going. May 09 01:28:55 Please bear w/ me. I want this library on this board. May 09 01:29:17 Oh. May 09 01:29:20 I know. May 09 01:30:04 Please hold. I have that Google Box or whatever it is called. I will try w/ that. May 09 01:34:24 Well, this is odd. May 09 01:34:40 I am on my ubuntu machine. I cannot sign in via the ssh command. May 09 01:34:56 maybe my box is old. Let me upgrade. May 09 01:36:13 Okay. I am in. May 09 01:36:13 did it work before May 09 01:36:18 Yes. May 09 01:36:21 It works again. May 09 01:36:28 Now, what command do you need me to make? May 09 01:36:33 connmanctl? May 09 01:37:09 I do not have any under services w/ connmanctl. May 09 01:37:52 Now, if you have another command or some file transposing, let me know. May 09 01:37:55 I will change it up. May 09 01:37:58 you know this worked before config gadget_00000000000_usb ipv4 dhcp now it's not happy May 09 01:38:08 Well, they probably updated. May 09 01:38:32 The bbb.io peoples probably got to figuring what they configured and how it works w/ Linux. May 09 01:38:50 Let me go and look online at the kernel docs. May 09 01:39:36 from the command it likes config gadget_00000000000_usb --ipv4 --dhcp doifferent syntax May 09 01:41:10 Hmm. I know nothing. I would need to try some commands on my end. May 09 01:41:38 Just for reference, I never once got the usb sharing to work. So, I have not background on it. May 09 01:41:56 The background though, if useful today w/ this kernel, might not be too useful. May 09 01:43:30 does tethering sound familiar? May 09 01:45:57 that's for wifi i think May 09 01:46:19 Okay. Does this all use dbus? May 09 01:46:26 sockets and things? May 09 01:47:48 https://www.embedded-computing.com/articles/the-connman has some info. down towards the lower section of the page. Let me past it for you in a paste. May 09 01:49:56 https://pastebin.com/TjgrpE0Q May 09 01:50:06 I will print it and review it and try to make things work. May 09 01:53:37 Maybe disable wifi too. Let me go and try. May 09 01:56:08 Nope. I cannot even make commands in connmanctl w/out Ethernet attached. May 09 01:57:13 https://01.org/connman/documentation <<< which of the hyperlinks are you reading to make Internet sharing work? May 09 01:58:25 I just found a --disable-gadget config. option and if that is on your system, then you may need to change it and recompile. May 09 02:00:15 So, /var/lib/connman/ holds a file called settings. This is a start. If you already put too much info. on your board, back it up Holmes. May 09 02:00:23 This could get messy. May 09 02:00:39 Maybe =( Tomorrow. My right is tired and the screen is a blur May 09 02:01:54 I sent RCN an email on this. But, think he dosen't want to talk to me anymore May 09 02:02:15 Okay. May 09 02:02:17 Too many questions May 09 02:02:21 I got you. May 09 02:02:29 I am trying to catch up to what you understand. May 09 02:02:34 So, I can try to pitch in. May 09 02:02:47 Right now, I have no definite answer. May 09 02:03:14 But. I might try it in my spare time. It seems interesting. May 09 02:03:22 I would put original sd-card back in with debian 9.9 but it went sailing across the room May 09 02:03:29 It is built in during the system install. May 09 02:03:33 But, then, things change. May 09 02:03:38 Ha. May 09 02:04:05 KenUnix: I read that one would have to disable it on command or during its inception as a module. May 09 02:04:31 So, it will take time and effort to recompile it or to cross-compile it. May 09 02:04:49 Shame zmatt isn't here May 09 02:04:56 He is in on it! May 09 02:05:01 He is the enemy. Ha. May 09 02:05:06 Hhahaha. May 09 02:05:49 On another note, I have not had my Ubuntu machine up and running in a while. May 09 02:05:58 It is still updating/upgrading. May 09 02:06:13 It has been doing it for 45 minutes easy. May 09 02:06:23 KenUnix: lol @ sd card sailing across the room May 09 02:06:26 well without internet bbb can't. May 09 02:06:31 The enemy! May 09 02:06:32 and yes don't bother rcn too much, he's a busy man May 09 02:06:34 Run! May 09 02:07:11 Phew. May 09 02:08:12 zmatt - I installed new image and PC <> BBB over USB ok, but can't ping anywhere else May 09 02:08:49 I tried config gadget_00000000000_usb --ipv4 manual 192.168.7.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.7.1 --nameservers 8.8.8.8 May 09 02:09:23 sudo connmanctl config gadget_00000000000_usb --ipv4 manual 192.168.7.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.7.1 --nameservers 8.8.8.8 May 09 02:09:36 I don't know anything about connman, I don't use it May 09 02:09:52 does the usb networking even involve connman? I thought it was setup though weird custom scripts May 09 02:10:41 I also rarely use usb networking, ethernet ftw May 09 02:10:50 was but remember that changed on 4-6 release May 09 02:11:08 well he made it easier to customize May 09 02:11:23 ha? May 09 02:12:01 in his new setup there is no place to define gateway May 09 02:12:04 I think the config was previously hardcoded in the ugly scripts? May 09 02:12:10 instead of coming from a config file May 09 02:12:33 yes /etc/network/interfaces May 09 02:12:57 that was never supposed to be used and just conflicts with the setup scripts May 09 02:13:13 honestly I don't know why he even has ifupdown installed by default May 09 02:13:42 well why can't i ping 8.8.8.8 or 192.167.55.131 May 09 02:13:56 using two network managers along with scripts that manually fiddle with network config is just a giant mess and a recipe for conflicts and headaches May 09 02:14:36 headache yes. i've on this all p.m. May 09 02:15:19 you have no ethernet port on your computer to connect the bbb to? (with internet sharing enabled from wifi to ethernet on your computer) May 09 02:15:31 I thought you had that setup working previously May 09 02:15:36 but maybe I'm confusing you with someone else May 09 02:16:24 i tried adding a default gateway but after reboot it's gone May 09 02:16:50 route add default gw 192.168.7.1 May 09 02:17:26 route add default gw 192.168.7.2 May 09 02:17:36 the second one is definitely wrong May 09 02:17:54 ip of bbb is 192.168.7.2 May 09 02:18:06 exactly, which is why that line is wrong May 09 02:18:52 so sudo route add default gw 192.168.7.1 should work May 09 02:18:56 anyway, setting up internet access via usb networking is probably way more hassle than it's worth May 09 02:19:12 dunno I haven't used the (ancient, deprecated) "route" utility in a decade probably May 09 02:19:21 it worked on 9.9 and 9.12 May 09 02:19:48 by accident probably May 09 02:20:09 well what could i try? May 09 02:20:33 04:15 <@zmatt> you have no ethernet port on your computer to connect the bbb to? (with internet sharing enabled from wifi to ethernet on your computer) May 09 02:21:02 that's the only approach I've ever recommended in all the time you've been fidgeting with this May 09 02:23:11 but pc <> bbb over usb works fine May 09 02:23:46 your complaints for days say otherwise May 09 02:24:45 this isn't really the fault of usb networking, but making sure your pc can reliably access the bbb and having the bbb connect to internet won't mix easily on the same connection by default May 09 02:25:02 since for the latter you just want the interface to be a dhcp client and that's it May 09 02:25:19 while for the former you want it to have a static ip and be a dhcp server May 09 02:26:14 it doesn't _have_ to be that way, but if you don't really know what you're doing I recommend just not fiddling with any networking settings on the bbb whatsoever and using an ethernet connection to get internet access to the bbb May 09 02:26:56 (which should work perfectly in the default configuration) May 09 02:30:03 Got more friggin cables coming out of BBB May 09 02:30:20 I do stlil want to make a guide on how to use systemd-networkd to setup various network configurations on the BBB. I honestly don't want to even try to attempt people trying to get internet access via usb working by fiddling with the giant mess of different network managers and setup scripts May 09 02:31:29 *try to attempt supporting people trying to May 09 02:32:58 Yes. Am installing Eth to P.C. now May 09 02:43:33 has a weird address eth0 inet 169.254.209.245 May 09 02:43:41 Ooh! May 09 02:44:28 KenUnix: then internet sharing is probably not enabled on your pc May 09 02:45:36 169.254.*.* is a self-assigned link-local ip address, which means it indicate an inability to acquire an ip address via dhcp May 09 02:50:43 From 169.254.34.7 icmp_seq=5 Destination Host Unreachable May 09 02:51:12 as long as it shows a 169.254.*.* address you don't have to test anything since it won't work May 09 02:51:37 it means internet sharing isn't enabled on your pc (or at least it's not working) May 09 02:52:32 (after enabling it you'll probably need to unplug ethernet, wait a second, and plug it back in to make the bbb attempt to acquire an ip address again) May 09 02:59:56 i did and no good. i set pc to use 192.168.8.1 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat May 09 02:59:58 2020
