[beagleboard] Beaglebone Black - Network Manager & VNC
Hello I've flashed an 8 GB micro SD card with the Debian (4 GB) version found on the BB site. I now want a GUI to use the built in network manager and VNC. What desktop do you recommend I use i.e Gnome, KDE etc. Also I have an Archer T2U Nano V1 WiFi doggle that I'd like to use. Does anyone know the commands I needed to download and install the driver for that? Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Windows Program / Application
Thank you. I'll review Wine and see if I can make heads or tails of it and how I would go about installing / running it on BBB then installing my windows based application called Sandysoft. http://sandaysoft.com/ Michael On Saturday, July 4, 2015 at 11:09:50 PM UTC-4, William Hermans wrote: Context ?

[beagleboard] Login + To Slow

[beagleboard] Network addressing

I keep getting assigned the DHCP address of .23 instead of the static address of .15 that I've assigned in /etc/network/interfaces.

Re: [beagleboard] Debian + Resizing Partition
Eric Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my earlier post. I will read the links and try again. FYI I've tried both flashing the eMMc and booting from the SD card (8GB in size). In both cases I have very little time to log into a terminal session. I have to SSH in via Putty. Ultimately I'd like to set up the BBB as an OpenVPN server and load in LXDE as a GUI. It sound like I should be able to do all on this from the SD card (space permitting). Thanks again, Eric. Michael On Saturday, May 31, 2014 12:30:57 PM UTC-4, Eric wrote: Mike, Just reread your question again. Note, the onboard eMMc is pretty well filled by the standard image as was referenced by the following query to the list. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/beagleboard/Out$20of$20space$20immediately$20after$20flash/beagleboard/etpYcY6aHHc/ceNDm_15s8YJ What you want to do in reality though is not so much resize the eMMC partition (though, I'd still use the provided tools to make as much space there as you can) as use the SD card to add space to your filesystem. Start by understanding how filesystems under unix generally are built. one has a number of volumes or partitions that are mounted in various places on the filesystem. Where you choose to mount these volumes really depends upon where you need the space. Normally you might mount a volume as /home if say you had a lot of users needing storage in their home directories or maybe you need more space for binaries so you'd mount a volume specifically for /bin or /sbin. sometimes you may have seperate volumes mounted for /var or others as well. Unfortunately on the black you're somewhat constrained with only the emmc and a single SD slot and if you need more than the 2GB provides across multiple mounts it may be easier to just use a SD card of sufficent size as your root filesystem to begin with. Generally most images put / and /boot on separate partitions. from there with a big enough card everything except /boot goes on the / partition. this makes things easy, especially for newcomers. While you could conceivably come up with a complex and elaborate partitioning scheme spread across many volumes and mounts with a usb hub and 49,000 usb drives, 42, 890 network mounts, and a paper tape punch/reader for storage (not literally... I'm demonstrating absurdity by being absurd) it may just get a bit unwieldy. The way I solved this problem was to spend about $20 on a 32GB microSD card which I boot from and use as my root filesystem. I can then setup the eMMC onboard as 2GB of space to use for such things as my personal home directory or whatever else I feel like. maybe the best option though is to install the absolute bare minimum small filesystem flash image found here http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black#BeagleBoneBlack-RootFileSystem%28smallflash%29 to eMMC and use an SD card as your big filesystem. that way the black still has someting minimal that boots and when you need it, you can boot to your huge filesystem from SD card.

Re: [beagleboard] BBB + Dedbian
Thanks for the responses. Eric, I'm using one physical BBB. In another post within this discussion group, I found a link to these instructions (but it doesn't merge the eMMc partition with the SD partition): Expanding File System Partition On A microSD By default the microSD image is only about 2GB in size, to fully expand the partition to the full size of your microSD card simple run. cd /opt/scripts/tools/ sudo ./grow_partition.sh reboot On the next reboot, [df -h] should show the full microSD card size. Simon Platten posted instructions on how to partition the USB stick. I wonder if the USB stick can merged with the eMMc? I think I still need correct instructions on merging the two: eMMC + SD or eMMc + USB Thanks On Sunday, June 1, 2014 7:03:04 AM UTC-4, Eric wrote: what steps are you doing to try to do this? Maybe I'm not understanding what you are attempting to do but as I understand it it does not seem possible. what I understand from the question is that you have 2 physically separate devices (the eMMC the SD card) and you are trying to make a single partition. you can do this where both partitions reside on a single physical device (which you don't have) but I know of no means to do it across multiple devices. this is inharently the difference between a partition and a volume. you will need to use one as / and mount the other somewhere on the filesystem.
