The exact error message I'm getting after running this command: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 43DDF224
is this: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available I'm following these instructions from the MachineKit page: http://www.machinekit.io/docs/getting-started/APT-packages-stretch/ These instructions match the linux distribution I'm using, and the board I'm using. It's probably worth me explaining how I got here: I was able to successfully install the MachineKit image on my Beaglebone. MachineKit fires up just fine. I am not able to get wifi working on the MachieKit image however. Since I'm using a Beagelbone wireless, the only way to get this board online is through wifi, there's no ethernet port. It looks like all the hardware bits are opensource on the BeagleBone wireless, including the wifi chip: http://octavosystems.com/2016/09/27/the-beaglebone-black-wireless-and-beagleboard-compatibility/ Getting wifi up and running on an image I didn't create (and admittedly don't fully understand yet) seemed like a pretty hard task. So I installed the stock BeagleBone Wireless image on my board and the wifi works just fine. According to the machiene kit instructions I linked above, not only should I be able to install machinekit from the repository, but I should also be able to install the realtime kernel as well. I know this might be the harder route to go, but I want to learn how to install Machine kit not only on this board, but possibly on some other boards/PCs as I get better at this. So for right now I'd like to get MachineKit up and running on an image that's got wifi connectivity. I'm trying both methods just to see what I can get to work first... Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
