looks like I have a lot of partially installed packages...

debian@BBB:/$ apt-get -f install --dry-run

NOTE: This is only a simulation!

  apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.

  Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,

  so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

I've cleaned the package cache:

sudo apt-get clean

and recovered ~400MB "disk" space.

debian@BBB:/$ sudo apt install firmware-ti-connectivity

Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

or

 chromium-codecs-ffmpeg (=

and of course then this fails without firmware-ti-connectivity installed...

I don't see how chromium (et cetera) is related. Is this a side-effect from 
my mistake in the previous (huge, aborted) upgrade run?

Suggestions on how to *just* upgrade what I need for improved wireless 
connectivity (this OP)?

More specifics: I see lots of stuff (~450MiB) in /var/cache/apt/archives. 
Only two are dated today. One is bb-wl18xx-firmware...

Do I "sudo apt-get clean", or delete everything manually from the 
apt/archive (except bb-wl18xx-firmware...) or something else?

Re: [beagleboard] BBB Wireless frequently drops connection

2018-03-28 Thread ags
This is turning into an "apt" tutorial - but searches haven't helped me 
find what I'm looking for.

I have killed the upgrade mis-stream. I think it successfully downloaded 
all the upgradable packages, and ran out of "disk" space while unpacking 
it. I don't know if anything was actually installed.

I still have 0% free on /dev/mmcblkXX

Is there a way to determine if any package was actually upgraded?

Where are the downloaded packages? Can I just delete them presuming they 
were the unintended upgrades, and start again with the correct apt command 
as you provided in a later post

Yeah i messed that up, it's "install --only-upgrade"

Re: [beagleboard] BBB Wireless frequently drops connection

Sorry if this is obvious. The current situation is that I have no "disk" 
space left and the upgrade is paused (^Z) after fetching 464 MB. I have 
minimal user-installed "stuff" on the system so it appears to have been 
filled up with this upgrade attempt.

I thought I would be installing the "firmware-ti-connectivity" package (for 
the first time) and upgrading the "bb-wl18xx-firmware" package to a newer 
version. The former seemed OK, but the latter (apparently) pulled in 
another 200+ packages. Did I do that incorrectly?

Am I to "apt remove  --purge" each of the 200+ packages that were 
(apparently) pulled in?

Still, how do I perform the upgrade to get the possible fix for my 
connectivity problem within available disk space? (is it impossible?)

Yes, you can recover most of the space 'afterwards'..

and use

sudo apt remove (pkg) --purge

to cleanup anything you don't use..

I realize there is not an explicit question here...

I have paused (^Z) the upgrade. Can I terminate and reclaim the disk space, 
or is there another option?

Does the desired package upgrade really require 400+MB of dependencies to 
also be upgraded? The output looks like all possible upgrades were being 
done.

Foolishly I accepted - and now I have 0% space available on my eMMC.

Re: [beagleboard] BBB Wireless frequently drops connection

2018-03-27 Thread William Hermans
For what it's worth. The rpi3 does this as well. Granted perhaps not as
much. I've used mine as an ap for my phones, and would get dropped
connections at random times. Sometimes days, other times hours.

[beagleboard] BBB Wireless frequently drops connection

2018-03-27 Thread ags
I’m experiencing random drops of wirelesss connectivity with BBBW. I have 
several other wired & wireless SBCs BBB, RPi, etc. and don’t see this with 
them. This is my only BBBW though. I believe I’ve experienced it since first 
installing - but am not certain. 

Symptoms are simply not being able to connect (with ssh or other means) or 
having an open ssh session terminated. Sometimes I can re-establish 
immediately, sometimes I let ping run for dozens of packets and it is 
eventually found back online, and sometimes I have to power-cycle to (re)gain 
access. When inaccessible the power and heartbeat leds are indicating normal 
operation. 

Is this a known issue? Is there a fix?

Running 4.4.11x ti
