The best thing to me about BeagleBone Black is its None.js server that is running all the time. You can leverage this to run commands even when you can't SSH. I ran into your same issue after I did an opkg upgrade. I solved by creating a js file in could9 with the below script. Just run from could 9 and it will execute commands on your BBB!
// http://nodejs.org/api.html#_child_processes var sys = require('sys'); var exec = require('child_process').exec; var child; // executes `pwd` var command = "opkg install --force-reinstall angstrom-gdm-autologin-hack"; child = exec(command, function (error, stdout, stderr) { sys.print('stdout: ' + stdout); sys.print('stderr: ' + stderr); if (error !== null) { console.log('exec error: ' + error); } }); On Thursday, September 12, 2013 8:19:27 AM UTC-5, Gabriel L wrote: > > Hi, > I'm new to the Beaglebone Black but didn't have problems trying out > several OS's. > As Ubuntu was too slow for my taste I switched back to Angstrom.
