when I do dpkg on beagle board, it throws tens of error message,
saying dependent libraries not found.
I understand i need to install dependent libraries. but ,
Do I have to download each n every lib manually and install, or am I
doing it completely wrong?
Please suggest me some links if any to do the same.
Also let me know if I need to cross compile the VLC source for BB. If
so please help me with some commands.
1. From your guide i installed Ubuntu 9.10 and 9.04 on my BB . it
works great,
but i do not get GUI . Is the guide ment for no GUI or am I doing
something wrong.
I have given the rootstock command i used at the end of this mail.
you have mentioned that Angstrom is more suited for Video playback.
and on-board DSP assistance.
I need to use VLC [on BB] for reading a video stream from Ad Hoc WiFi
network and display it on the Projector. The resoulution would be
1440x900.
Do you still suggest me to switch to Angsstrom. [I have been working
on Ubuntu for quite some time now].

Your rootstock command should have resulted in the xfce4 gui to be
installed, but looking at your script it might have miss-parsed due to
the space between "xfce4, linux-firmware"....
Ahh sorry my bad, your still on jaunty... Yeah vlc wasn't built for
jaunty... Think of the Jaunty release as ubuntu's first rough pass at
a base arm os, anything beyond that didn't have developers attention
till the karmic release cycle...
But, in Karmic which I downloaded, I could not find some commands, iw
commands [iwconfig, iwlist... etc.] needed for wireless configuration
and that was the reason I switched to Jaunty. And Jaunty had them.
Am afraid if the same problem will come up again. Should i switch to
Lucid instead

Yeap, those are in karmic... package "wireless-tools" contains those.
Also make sure you seed doesn't have any spaces like in the example
listed below..
voodoo@beagle-256mb-1:~$ lsb_release -c
Codename: karmic
voodoo@beagle-256mb-1:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
usb0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 no wireless extensions.
(i don't have any wifi usb adapters on that node..)
Thank you for the help,
The GUI [XFCE] and wireless-tools Also VLC are working great, in the
new Ubuntu Karmic built using the below rootstock command.
As mentioned the necessary spaces created the problem.
Thanks again Robert, your help saved a lot of my time.
Now I am able to live stream my desktop to BB using [FFMPEG
+FFSERVER]on my laptop +[VLC] on beagleboard.
but only a small part of the desktop [320x240] , for higher resolution
a lot of frame dropping is happening.
As you suggested I will be switching to Angstrom for onboard DSP
support for HD video.
But one last Q :-). so that I dont have to bother u again with similar
Q´s.
How do I come to know which are the modules available in the
repository?
Like you suggested me to include VLC, similarly is there a way to know
which package is available for which distro? or should I check it out
it mannually?
Thank you once again , for the great Job!!
And Bye!! for my Ubuntu on BB for now
