Hi,
I’m using the Beagley-ai board and Kubuntu 24.04lts for development.
I’m experimenting with image builder trying to sucessfully build an run a new image, but having an issue at the point of changing the login after running the new image.
First I downloaded and installed a pre-compiled image using the instructions from the getting stared of the beagleboard web site. All does as it says on the tin and booting and watching its output on the debug terminal you get to the login and I can then change the password as prompted and I’m given the shell. Power button when pressed with shut the system down, all as expected.
So I now tried to create a new image using the image-builder tools, this is what I did on the host machine:-
$ git clone GitHub - beagleboard/image-builder: Image builder · GitHub**
$ cd image-builder
$ sudo ./RootStock-NG.sh -c bb.org-debian-trixie-xfce-v6.18-k3-arm64**
Waited for the image to be built, then:
$ cd deploy/debian-13.4-xfce-v6.18-k3-arm64-2026-3-30
$sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --img-12gb beagley-ai-custom.img --dtb beagley-ai-swap
Copied the resulting .img file to my windows machine which has the sdcard reader on it and ran to Beagleboad imager to flash the image to the card.
Installed the card and it all boots, gets to the login change password prompt as follows but shows the following error
BeagleBone login: debian
Password:
You are required to change your password immediately (administrator enforced).
Changing password for debian.
Current password:
Authentication token manipulation error
It now gets stuck, no ^C works, no power button presses starts the shutdown, have to resort to power removal to restart, comes back to the same problem.
Activitly light still flashing and every so often I get the messages
[ 52.813964] read descriptors
[ 52.813997] read strings
shown so its not crashed.
I have tried different configurations:
$ sudo ./RootStock-NG.sh -c bb.org-debian-trixie-iot-v6.18-k3-arm64
$ sudo ./RootStock-NG.sh -c bb.org-debian-trixie-iot-v7.0-k3-arm64
$ sudo ./RootStock-NG.sh -c bb.org-debian-trixie-xfce-v7.0-k3-arm64
But come back to the same issue.
At a bit of a loss now!.
Am I missing a step or is there someting I have not configured?
All pointers much apprecieted
Thanks Mark
