sbin: install patch: (sudo apt-get install patch) sudo su cd / patch -p1 < /opt/scripts/mods/debian-add-sbin-usr-sbin-to-default-path.diff date on boot: wheezy: we rely on ntpdate, which needs the network setup first, so if you search journalctl you'll notice ntpdate failing.. jessie: we can use systemd-timesync, since systemd knows when the network is connected, it'll automatically sync the time, plus it'll backup the clock between reboots. So it's the most accurate.. Overal, we preseed the date so the "2015-11-03" image will always have a clock after "2015-11-03" and not 1970... > I tried syncing the time, but I got command not found and didn't find it in > sbin, but installing some version of ntp seems to resolve that. > > As for the issue we faced with DNS issues and issues updating the repo, it > was the exact same issue in this post - > https://groups.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/beagleboard/ubuntu/DjFqxreT1AA > At the time, I had to hard code the IP for the missing repos (I think it was > also the ports.ubuntu repo) and it worked. > But I just tested this on a fresh flash and wasn't able to recreate the > issue, so in my test case, everything worked great. > I'll dig a bit more on this but I think this may have been a weird "freak" > occurrence. For that, i'd just run: sudo ifconfig -a sudo dhclient eth0 in the wheezy/lxde we have wicd setting up eth0 automaticly (and in jessie/lxqt we have connman) Regards, -- Robert Nelson https://rcn-ee.com/ -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
