I recently tried running some OpenCV code that works fine independently but crashes with a select timeout error when I try running it while I have my mini wifi module from Adafruit plugged in to provide wireless access via an AP network. Both the camera and the wifi module are plugged into a usb hub. I've done some research online and it sounds like the Bone's USB DMA support might not be up to the task. I've read about using other kernels and was wondering what was built into this image. I also read another post about including NEON: http://blog.lemoneerlabs.com/3rdParty/Darling_BBB_30fps_DRAFT.html#x1-6000doc Is that optimization already built into this image? Anyone have any other ideas for getting the Beaglebone to handle both a cheap USB camera and WiFi module, or is this something that would be better handled by the Raspberry Pi B+? I like controlling motors directly from the bone with the handful of PWM pins it sports, but wireless debugging is a little higher on my priority list so I can move to a Pi and an Arduino if necessary. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Here is the BeagleBone Debian (beta) image you want to test
I purchased a proto cape from sparkfun with an eeprom. Apparently I can write a dts file and compile it so that I have better control of the headers at boot time. I'm trying to control some dc motors and was only able to find 4 gpios and 4 more pwms that are low and stay low when the beaglebone boots. I can use those for now, but I imagine that in the future this will probably change and I'd like to know how to deal with it. I'd also like to be able to choose my pin layout so that it's a little more intuitive for my students. So my questions are: 1. Can I access and program the eeprom on the proto cape from the beaglebone black? If so, how? 2. How do I make the dts file? 3. How do I compile it? 4. Where do I put it? 5. How do I make debian use it when it boots? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Here is the BeagleBone Debian (beta) image you want to test
This is a quirk of Debian. Systemd represents a pretty fundamental shift to Linux distributions. Conservative distributions like Debian have taken a wait and see approach before adopting it. As a result the version of systemd in Debian stable, Sid, is pretty old. One option would be look at using the current development version of Debian, Jessie, which will become the next stable release later this year or early next year. As with everything it is and engineering trade off; old and stable vs. new and awesome :) David On Thu, May 29, 2014 at 1:00 AM, michael.du...@gmail.com wrote: On Wednesday, May 28, 2014 2:37:13 PM UTC-7, RobertCNelson wrote: It's there just an older version of systemd where it was prefixed. systemd- Follow-on question: any risk in moving to the latest version of systemd?

Hi All, This is my first post on the group. Hope I'm in the correct place. Hate to sound like such a noob but, that's what I am. I am working with a Beaglebone Black revision B, 7 HDMI display and USB eGalax based touch screen. We are currently have 5 revision C boards on order. I am booting from a 2gb sd using the 3.14.4-bone4.1 kernel and debian-7.5-minimal-armhf-2014-05-07 rootfs. I did a cross build on a Wheezy VM using the info from http://eewiki.net/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=13599118. I have installed LXDE and everything is working really well. I have one small touchscreen issue however. It works correctly except that I cannot get the pointer to the edge of the screen. Not close enough to activate the panel menus and such. From what I've read I believe the xinput-calibrator utility would help solve this issue. But, I can't find the package with sudo apt-get install xinput-calibrator. I have downloaded the source for version 0.7.5 from freedesktop.org and I'm trying to cross build it. No luck so far... I know that this utility is installed by default on the latest Debian/LXDE images from Beagleboard.org but i really want to be able to configure and build all of this myself. What is the best method for providing the ./configure output and config.log content here?

Using the 2GB uSD card image also flashes a bit faster and can be resized to whatever your uSD card size is using some scripts under /opt/scripts/tools. Many, many thanks to Robert Nelson, Rob Rittman, Dave Anders, Cody Lacey, the Cloud9 IDE team and so many others in getting us this far. Please take the time to give a detailed look over this image and report any issues to the bug tracker on elinux.org: http://bugs.elinux.org/projects/debian-image-releases While plugged in over USB, you'll see the familiar BEAGLE_BONE drive with START.htm to tell you how to get the drivers configured if you haven't already done so: [image: Inline image 2] Clicking the link or visiting http://192.168.7.2, you'll see the familiar on-board served documentation: [image: Inline image 1] I've introduced a few bugs to the documentation ( http://github.com/beaglebone/bone101 and http://beagleboard.github.io/bone101), so expect to find a lot of issues there.

This is your chance to try to get some documentation into the system you'd like to see.

Down at the bottom of the Cloud9 IDE you'll see a new terminal window that runs a full 'tmux' session. You can open up a bunch of these and it makes logging into the board and executing command-line operations *super* simple. Cloud9 IDE version 3 now includes support for Python and the Adafruit_BBIO library is included in these Debian images. That means you can simply paste in your Python code and hit the run button, without any additional download. I checked this out myself by doing a quick LED blink using the Adafruit tutorial (

Hello Everyone, I'm having problems with the latest debian build (2014-04-23) and the WIFI dongle Edimax EW-7811Un. I follow this link (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/beaglebone/Q92uD9F1us8) to set up the dongle, can connect to wifi, but the connection is faulty, works for couple of minutes and than just stops. Raspiberry Pi works great with the same adapter, where can i find a better drive for this dongle? what is the best dongle to use with this Debian images?

My mouse pointer definitely becomes invisible when I logout. okay, so when i switch back to v3.8, i see this now too.. Weird, as v3.13.x it works. Might just have to go back to the xorg.conf workaround. Hi Robert, I hope this isn't a repeat. I thought I posted a similar message earlier today, but it has not showed up in the group (at least for me), so I am retrying. Today I downloaded and installed a fresh copy of the latest, 2014-04-14, Debian image. Previously I had been using your update scripts to update my installation to the latest version, but I noticed there wasn't an update script for this version when I did a git pull in the /opt/scripts directory. While using the new version I noticed that I had the same problems with my mouse pointer becoming invisible whenever I log out of LXDE, and the DPMS screen blanking being disabled, that I had reported earlier. To correct this I removed the ~/.xsessionrc file to get the default, On, state for the dpms screen blanking. I also had to add the following line to the end of the Device section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Without this line I had no mouse pointer at all. Option SWCursor true I now have a mouse pointer that remains visible across LXDE logout/login cycles, and my screen now turns off after 10 minutes of inactivity. I really think this a better default setup since the BBB behave like a standard desktop PC (I have a USB keyboard and mouse, and an HDMI monitor). New users will get correct and standard operation. More experienced users can change these behaviors if they need to (to disable screen blanking on a kiosk for example), especially if there are clear instructions on how to do so. While testing the changes to the ~/.xsessionrc file I notice that I am getting a ~/.xsession-errors file created on each reboot.

Has this image OpenGL/SGX support? I would need it to get QtQuick running on it. Last year I was not able to get the driver compiled but as far as I remember TI has published some kernel patches back then. Am Mittwoch, 5. März 2014 23:51:19 UTC+1 schrieb Jason Kridner: The latest BeagleBone Debian images are now posted at: http://beagleboard.org/latest-images/ If you've upgraded the firmware on your BeagleBone or BeagleBone Black in the past, the experience will be quite similar, but you might find the eMMC flashing times a bit faster (~15 minutes rather than ~45 minutes) due to less post-installation processing. Using the 2GB uSD card image also flashes a bit faster and can be resized to whatever your uSD card size is using some scripts under /opt/scripts/tools. Many, many thanks to Robert Nelson, Rob Rittman, Dave Anders, Cody Lacey, the Cloud9 IDE team and so many others in getting us this far. Please take the time to give a detailed look over this image and report any issues to the bug tracker on elinux.org: http://bugs.elinux.org/projects/debian-image-releases While plugged in over USB, you'll see the familiar BEAGLE_BONE drive with START.htm to tell you how to get the drivers configured if you haven't already done so: [image: Inline image 2] Clicking the link or visiting http://192.168.7.2, you'll see the familiar on-board served documentation: [image: Inline image 1] I've introduced a few bugs to the documentation ( http://github.com/beaglebone/bone101 and http://beagleboard.github.io/bone101), so expect to find a lot of issues there. Patches are welcome as are notes in the bug tracker to make sure I don't miss dotting any i's or crossing any t's. This is your chance to try to get some documentation into the system you'd like to see. I felt it was pretty safe to save the documentation as an in-beta item because it shouldn't impact functionality. One of the biggest new features you'll see is when you click on the Cloud9 IDE link: [image: Inline image 3] This is a pre-open-source-beta-only release of version 3 of their IDE. Down at the bottom of the Cloud9 IDE you'll see a new terminal window that runs a full 'tmux' session. You can open up a bunch of these and it makes logging into the board and executing command-line operations *super* simple. Cloud9 IDE version 3 now includes support for Python and the Adafruit_BBIO library is included in these Debian images. That means you can simply paste in your Python code and hit the run button, without any additional download. I checked this out myself by doing a quick LED blink using the Adafruit tutorial ( http://learn.adafruit.com/blinking-an-led-with-beaglebone-black/writing-a-program ): [image: Inline image 4] You should also note that the /var/lib/cloud9 directory now contains a git clone of that bone101 repo (http://github.com/beagleboard/bone101), so you can start using the Cloud9 IDE to edit the content live. What I recommend is creating your own fork of the repo and sending me pull requests of any changes you'd like to see. You can also edit C/C++ code in the Cloud9 IDE, but no 'builder' or 'runner' plug-ins are provided. You will, however, find the Userspace-Arduino (http://elinux.org/Userspace_Arduino) code in /opt/source/Userspace-Arduino. Here's a quick little exercise you can do to blink LED0: root@beaglebone# cd /opt/source/Userspace-Arduino/arduino-makefile/examples/Blink root@beaglebone# perl -i -pe 's/13/14/g' Blink.ino root@beaglebone# make root@beaglebone# ./build-userspace/Blink.elf For more advanced C/C++ developers, future releases should include https://github.com/jackmitch/libsoc. Those familiar with Linux will also note that the init system is 'systemd', which has been helpful in providing reasonable boot times. If you are looking for the journal, you can explore it using 'systemd-journalctl'. I use a Mac and despite the latest version of HoRNDIS fixing issues with Internet Connection Sharing, getting on the WIFI at home makes getting my BeagleBones on the network much easier, further making grabbing new packages with 'sudo apt-get install' much simpler. Drivers and firmware for many common USB WiFi dongles are included, so be sure to report any that you find missing. These latest images include the drivers for the popular UWN200 adapters provided by Logic Supply. To test it out myself, I uncommented and edited the wlan0 entry in /etc/network/interfaces (including replacing wlan0 with ra0), shutdown, plugged in the adapter and powered up the board again. I'm seeing the issue rt28xx_open return fail!, but I'm sure this is something we can fix in a few days and provide an updated image. I removed that adapter and plugged in an adapter I bought from Adafruit (and switched ra0 back to wlan0) and got the issue rtl8192cu:_rtl92cu_init_power_on():0-0 Failed to polling

I'm still running into some annoying root/debian user permissions problems. First, I have to switch to the root user in order to run a script I wrote to share the host computer's Internet connection. Second, when I push to git I get an error message about permission denied. The push goes through okay, but I don't know how to go about fixing whatever is causing the error.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Here is the BeagleBone Debian (beta) image you want to test
Yes and no. The solution was worse than the problem. Updating to the development kernel as mentioned above resulted in better support for Wifi but an unstable LXDE environment. At this point I just don't rely on Wifi. On Friday, April 4, 2014 9:03:12 AM UTC-8, Toni Salaet Larrull wrote: I have the same problem... You could solve it?

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Here is the BeagleBone Debian (beta) image you want to test
What is the problem with the default kernel? That wifi doesn't work good in general, that it doesn't connect to unsecured networks, that Wicd is buggy and will freeze up the BeagleBone? I went ahead and updated the kernel. I am now able to connect to secured and unsecured networks using the Adafruit dongle. I had limited success with the netgear wna1100 which definitely does NOW work better than the Adafruit dongle. The UWN200 also came in the mail today, but the BeagleBone was unable to detect it.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Here is the BeagleBone Debian (beta) image you want to test
Question: For the fun of it, I updated my system to the latest build (3/31) Also updated the kernel using the script you mentioned. Then thought I would test out building and running my Hexapod code. As part of my code base I have some Sound output including Tones (beeps) using Alsa as well as Espeak... I git cloned the stuff down from my github project: https://github.com/KurtE/Raspberry_Pi (Sorry about the project name) and did the stuff in my Readme file that included sudo apt-get of the stuff for ALSA and Espeak and got everything to build. I use an external USB sound adapter. With previous builds I was able to get the sound to work by creating a sound configuration file: /etc/asound.conf pcm. with the content of: !default sysdefault:Device So far when I try it with this build I am not having much luck: Still investigating.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Here is the BeagleBone Debian (beta) image you want to test
My BeagleBone part of a primitive robot with a breadboard strapped to the top, and servo motors underneath. The wifi dongle was between both. For this reason, I dug out my unpowered USB hub and used it as an extender to get the wifi dong'e away from all the metal. I powered the beagle bone with an external power supply and remoted into it via usb. I was able to get the Adafruit dongle to connect to my secured home network 1 out of three times this time around as well as a secured hotspot hosted by my phone. This was better than the netgrear wna1100 which was only able to connect to the secured hotspot (not my regular home network). Neither was able to connect to an unsecured hotspot. Attempts to connect via wifi also seem to cause the BeagleBone to freeze up frequently. Any ideas? Also, it would be really handy if the default user was root (like on Angstrom) so that I didn't have to type sudo su before most terminal commands. This would also allow me to open files more easily. I'm guessing this would also allow the user to reboot and shutdown the beaglebone, options which are missing from LXDE at this point, and which cannot be execute from the command line using the debian user. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Here is the BeagleBone Debian (beta) image you want to test
I downloaded and tested the March 27th image today. Thanks for including xrdp-it made testing wifi go much faster. Here's what I found. - I was able to connect to a WPA2 secured network at the school where I teach - I was unable to connect to my cell phone when unsecured (Android portable wifi hotspot) - I was able to connect to my cell phone if I secured the connection (WPA2 PSK) - I was unable to connect to a WPA2 secured network at home - One of my students was able to connect to the WPA2 secured school network, another was unable to connect - The students that was unable to connect to the school network was also unable to connect to my cell phone (secured as well-didn't try unsecured) - I was able to create an ad-hoc network (at least I think it did because it showed up in Wicd) We were all using the tiny Adafruit dongles and tethered to BeagleBones via USB. Whenever we were unable to connect, we could see the connection-it just timed out when trying to get an IP (unsecured networks) or authenticating (secured network). Any ideas? I also tried setting up an ad-hoc network. It showed up within Wicd, but I wasn't able to detect it with a computer, my Android cell phone, or an iPhone. Is ad-hoc working for anybody else? Given the inconsistency, I'm guessing the problem is hardware (the dongle), so I ordered a few of the Netgear WNA1100 dongles. Should have them in a couple of weeks. Also, looks like the eMMC version doesn't have Wicd functioning out of the box.

[beagleboard] Re: Here is the BeagleBone Debian (beta) image you want to test
How can I make the microSD image to not copy the image to the eMMC of my Beaglebone Black? That is, by default, when I insert the SD card with this Debian image, and then power the BBB, it will automatically start flashing the Debian image to the BBB internal disk (eMMC). I notice it because after some time the 4 leds stay lit, meaning it has completed the process. I don't want it to happen because I want to use Debian directly from the bootable SD card, and keep the eMMC intact. (probably I just need to delete the script that flashes the image to the eMMC, but where is it?) Em quarta-feira, 5 de março de 2014 19h51min19s UTC-3, Jason Kridner escreveu: The latest BeagleBone Debian images are now posted at: http://beagleboard.org/latest-images/ If you've upgraded the firmware on your BeagleBone or BeagleBone Black in the past, the experience will be quite similar, but you might find the eMMC flashing times a bit faster (~15 minutes rather than ~45 minutes) due to less post-installation processing. Using the 2GB uSD card image also flashes a bit faster and can be resized to whatever your uSD card size is using some scripts under /opt/scripts/tools. Many, many thanks to Robert Nelson, Rob Rittman, Dave Anders, Cody Lacey, the Cloud9 IDE team and so many others in getting us this far. Please take the time to give a detailed look over this image and report any issues to the bug tracker on elinux.org: http://bugs.elinux.org/projects/debian-image-releases While plugged in over USB, you'll see the familiar BEAGLE_BONE drive with START.htm to tell you how to get the drivers configured if you haven't already done so: [image: Inline image 2] Clicking the link or visiting http://192.168.7.2, you'll see the familiar on-board served documentation: [image: Inline image 1] I've introduced a few bugs to the documentation ( http://github.com/beaglebone/bone101 and http://beagleboard.github.io/bone101), so expect to find a lot of issues there. Patches are welcome as are notes in the bug tracker to make sure I don't miss dotting any i's or crossing any t's. This is your chance to try to get some documentation into the system you'd like to see. I felt it was pretty safe to save the documentation as an in-beta item because it shouldn't impact functionality. One of the biggest new features you'll see is when you click on the Cloud9 IDE link: [image: Inline image 3] This is a pre-open-source-beta-only release of version 3 of their IDE. Down at the bottom of the Cloud9 IDE you'll see a new terminal window that runs a full 'tmux' session. You can open up a bunch of these and it makes logging into the board and executing command-line operations *super* simple. Cloud9 IDE version 3 now includes support for Python and the Adafruit_BBIO library is included in these Debian images. That means you can simply paste in your Python code and hit the run button, without any additional download. I checked this out myself by doing a quick LED blink using the Adafruit tutorial ( http://learn.adafruit.com/blinking-an-led-with-beaglebone-black/writing-a-program ): [image: Inline image 4] You should also note that the /var/lib/cloud9 directory now contains a git clone of that bone101 repo (http://github.com/beagleboard/bone101), so you can start using the Cloud9 IDE to edit the content live. What I recommend is creating your own fork of the repo and sending me pull requests of any changes you'd like to see. You can also edit C/C++ code in the Cloud9 IDE, but no 'builder' or 'runner' plug-ins are provided. You will, however, find the Userspace-Arduino (http://elinux.org/Userspace_Arduino) code in /opt/source/Userspace-Arduino. Here's a quick little exercise you can do to blink LED0: root@beaglebone# cd /opt/source/Userspace-Arduino/arduino-makefile/examples/Blink root@beaglebone# perl -i -pe 's/13/14/g' Blink.ino root@beaglebone# make root@beaglebone# ./build-userspace/Blink.elf For more advanced C/C++ developers, future releases should include https://github.com/jackmitch/libsoc. Those familiar with Linux will also note that the init system is 'systemd', which has been helpful in providing reasonable boot times. If you are looking for the journal, you can explore it using 'systemd-journalctl'. I use a Mac and despite the latest version of HoRNDIS fixing issues with Internet Connection Sharing, getting on the WIFI at home makes getting my BeagleBones on the network much easier, further making grabbing new packages with 'sudo apt-get install' much simpler. Drivers and firmware for many common USB WiFi dongles are included, so be sure to report any that you find missing. These latest images include the drivers for the popular UWN200 adapters provided by Logic Supply. To test it out myself, I uncommented and edited the wlan0 entry in /etc/network/interfaces (including replacing wlan0 with ra0), shutdown,

Robert, I have just noticed now that my BBB is no longer blanking the HDMI output after a period of inactivity. Prior to these changes the display would blank after some period of inactivity, and I would have to move my mouse to get it to start sending video again. It has been sitting unused for an hour or more now (there is an ssh session open), and it has not blanked the screen. I googled Debian screen blanking and discovered what I think your .xsessionrc commands are doing. xset s off # don't activate screensaver xset -dpms # disable DPMS (Energy Star) features. xset s noblank # don't blank the video device I suspect you have disabled the DPMS features that were shutting down the HDMI video output. I don't need a screen saver, but I would like the video to blank after a while. So I executed an xset +dpms command and then an xset q to check the current settings and verify that DPMS was enabled. With DPMS enabled I waited for 600 seconds (10 minutes), and my display blanked as I wanted. I see that many people are searching for a way to disable screen blanking, so I think this is one of those things that should be added to your FAQ for simple ways to accomplish basic setup changes. I think the display should blank by default out of the box both for the energy savings (135,000 BBB boards could be preventing their monitors from going to low power mode) and to provide a similar experience to what one gets using a Mac or PC. The FAQ should explain how to change it, both to blank or not blank.

Robert, thanks for your work. Is there a guide somewhere to build or a way to download a absolute minimal image. Something with only ssh, apt and full hardware initialization on it and nothing else. That would be a good base for couple of headless projects I am thinking about. When I am talking about HW initialization I am only thinking about network and hwrng Right now I am using this: http://rcn-ee.net/deb/flasher/wheezy/BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.4-2014-02-16-2gb.img.xz and I will continue to use it as it is. But if you plan to stop developing those images I need to start thinking about another way to get a headless emmc debian image working.

I am running with a HDMI monitor and a USB keyboard and mouse connected to an external powered hub. I have no touchscreen to calibrate and this wastes about 15 seconds on each logout. What starts this program, and how do I disable it? PS: what model/etc is it? lsusb? Encase I need to go pick one up.

But if you plan to stop developing those images I need to start thinking about another way to get a headless emmc debian image working. No worries, I have no plans to discontinue those monthly minimal images. I have a lot of users using them. Plus they support older boards like the beagle.

Robert, Just my $0.02 about *where* info should be stored: I completely agree about Dennis' Wild West comment. When I first started with the BBB back in Sep2013 all 5 of the various websites that Dennis referenced seemed to contradict each other. The official image was outdated and the most recent images were hidden away and you almost needed a secret knock to find them. I completely understand that everything has been in a massive state of flux, especially since all of the changes with the way Device Tree was handled, etc, etc. It seems to me, though, that out of the 5 websites that Dennis referenced, perhaps 4 of them should say Things are in a state of massive flux right now Instead of us updating 5 websites all the time, Please check this *one* website for the most up-to-date info. Then on the *1* website which is continuously updated it could say: Here is the most recent stable official image and here is the most recent development official image. It is strange having 5 different websites to have to check when you are a Newbie...and then Gerald says why didnt you check 'the' website. Thx! I respect and appreciate all the work you do!!

Where do you want to see those type of faq's listed? I can pretty much dump them anywhere, but the hard question is where... I don't know where they should be stored, but there should definitely be links on the beagleboard.org main page. It seems to me that if Debian is going to replace Angstrom, then a link to the Debian release images and FAQs should be put there. Eventually, the Angstrom info could be deprecated, or rather archived and its visibility reduced. It seems to me that there are currently too many places to go to get the various linux distributions and kernels, and none of them seem to be officially sanctioned as the standard release. This leads to unnecessary confusion for new users. Some info on beagleboard.org, some info at circuitco.com, some info at elinux.org, some info at armhf.com, etc., not to mention all the other stuff at ti.com. The official wiki at http://www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack#Software_Resourcesdoesn't even mention this Debian releases (and it should if you want people to test it). The community wiki at http://elinux.org/BeagleBone_Community#Debian does list a Debian release, but it is a different, and incompatible, arm EABI version from this new armhf release. I appreciate all the hard work that people have done to prepare all this information, but it's a little like the wild west when you first start looking around.

I moved that section from my .profile to .bashrc since .profile will source .bashrc if it exists. So a login shell will source .profile, which will source .bashrc and add the path. A non login shell will source .bashrc directly and add the path. This seems to work for me. I'm not sure what happens for script that use #!/bin/sh since that runs dash instead of bash. The dash docs say it sources .profile on login shells so that should be OK, but for non login shells it says it looks in the ENV environment variable for the name of a file to execute. There is no such variable defined currently so it does nothing. Perhaps these commands should be put in a .shinit file and then set ENV=$HOME/.shint in the .profile file to take card of setting it for login shells, and have the .bashrc source this .shinit file for non login shells.

Robert, your timezone is fine for me. I am actually AZ time myself, but really simple to change via dpkg-reconfigure tzdata. Also, as for how to change some default stuff, perhaps have a web page ( html file, or maybe even a node.js thing to make it more dynamic ? ) Dennis, just so you know, you should be able to google debian + whatever keyword you need to know something about to find an answer. We're talking basic Linux / Debian stuff here. For example. google - howto change debian timezone, and you will very likely find what i asked about last night dpkg-reconfigure tzdata. Anyway, dont feel as though I am putting you down by saying this. quite the contrary actually. As I have been using Debian since the 90's and have to google many things.

Sorry, I felt i was not clear in my last post . . . *Also, as for how to change some default stuff, perhaps have a web page ( html file, or maybe even a node.js thing to make it more dynamic ? )* What I mean by the above, is have an information web page on how to do various things, like how to set time zone etc. Perhaps as part of the getting started page thats already on the BBB. Even though I think Debian is one of the better distro's out there because of the fact you can simply google the answer to your questions( just one aspect actually ) I feel that having a web page linked to from the getting started page on how to change all teh default basic stuff would be super helpful for new users.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Here is the BeagleBone Debian (beta) image you want to test
I have very seldom run into a situation where google did not give me a correct answer. Sometimes the first hit is not always right / succinct either. It takes experience googling to know what to look for, and this does not always work either. Anyway, answers linked on debian.org, and superuser are typically succinct and correct. Also, as I had not reconfigured time zone, and dash before, or in a while i did google searches on these myself not but a few months ago. Regardless, this is all part of the learning process for everyone.

Please take the time to give a detailed look over this image and report any issues to the bug tracker on elinux.org: http://bugs.elinux.org/projects/debian-image-releases On booting this new image I noticed a few issues immediately, but I'm not sure if one is by design. The ethernet interface is not setup in this image. Running ifconfig shows no IP address for the ethernet port. Looking at /etc/network/interfaces I see that the eth0 section is commented out. I tried adding the following to /etc/network/interfaces but I still have no IP address assigned (as if dhcp wasn't aquirring an address). Commenting out the allow-hotplug line makes no difference. auto eth0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp Shouldn't the ethernet interface be setup by default? How does one setup dhcp on Debian if not through the interfaces file? Also, how is one supposed to use the Root Terminal in the LXDE environment? It won't accept the admin password for the debian user, and I don't know if there is a different root password? Thanks.

I can pretty much dump them anywhere, but the hard question is where... motd or the banner for ssh, together with an instruction to use rm to get rid of the message. Listing those basic steps there would get rid of thousands question from people using broken, old and/or outdated instructions belonging to some broken/old and/or outdated images.
