I've been running bone-debian-8.2-tester-2gb-armhf-2015-11-12-2gb.img.xz since shortly after it was released with great success on my BBW. I've kept reasonably current with apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade, although there are 73 packages to be upgraded with c9-core-installer held back when I looked a few minutes ago. Its installed to an 8GB SD card so space is not an issue. This system has been running 24/7 since mid December doing an essential job, but the system is evolving with new features added incrementally, so I'd like to "roll" with Jessie as things progress.
~# cat /etc/dogtag BeagleBoard.org Debian Image 2015-11-12 ~# uname -a Linux alarmbone 4.1.12-ti-r29 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 9 22:46:19 UTC 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux Before I do this much of an upgrade, I'll shut the system down and "clone" the sdcard so I can quickly go back, should something go wrong, but before I start I'd like to know if I'm leaving out some packages that I don't know the names of. This part seem obvious and reasonably well documented, update kernel and dtb files, but is this the "correct" kernel to be tracking these Jessie Testing images?: git clone https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays cd ./bb.org-overlays ./dtc-overlay.sh ./install.sh cd /opt/scripts/tools git pull sudo ./update_kernel.sh --lts-4_1 --ti-channel Next I'd like to install the basic lxqt package so things like gedit would work over ssh -X What packages are needed to upgrade the 2GB console image to the 4GB lxqt testing image? I'm also concerned about the various "installer" packages I've seen mentioned in various threads, like: bb-bonescript-installer-beta bb-node-red-installer What others might I be missing from my 2015-11-12 image? Or is it not really a viable option to try and evolve with apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade? Things don't seem right with Jessie updates. I ended up with an unusable system (no ssh, no usb gadget) after trying apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade trying to move from 8.2 to 8.3. back in early December, so I'm being more careful this time. Doing something that should be relatively "safe" (as I'm not sure I'll really use it, so unless it does really bad things all I risk is wasting some SD card space) but it didtn't work: ~# apt-get install bb-node-red-installer Reading package lists...

Do I need a kernel update first? or something else? if so, then it seems by definition some dependencies are broken. I won't be doing anything else with this system until I've had time to shutdown and clone the current SD card. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
