I downloaded ubuntu-13.04-console-armhf-2013-07-22.tar.xz and succesfuly followed instructions to write in onto micro sd card.
I mounted and edited /media/rootfs/etc/networks to include
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static

dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1 204.194.232.200 204.194.234.200
The sd card in BBB appears to boot properly (by looking at leds), and by turning off and on using power switch
I can also successfully ping 192.168.0.128

I’ve tried a number of options like in /media/rootfs/etc/rc.local (after remounting on host). adding
iptables -F
ufw logging on
ufw allow from 192.168.0.0/24
service networking start
service ssh start
but none of this worked at getting port 22 open so I can ssh over ethernet (I’ve never been successful at ssh’ng over usb0/ethernet despite trying many times).
Any suggestion on how to get port 22 open for ssh’ng by editing files when mounted on host? Or what my next best alternative might be. I am successful in
BBB when ssh’ng over eth0 with an sd card that was made using ubuntu-raring-13.04-armhf-3.8.13-bone20.img.xz
I need to figure out how torun compiled kernel so I can work at using the A/D driver from Zubair Lutfullah. Any suggestion or help is appreciated. Thanks

The behavior you describe is what I have sometimes got when it doesn’t have the right root partition mounted. If you boot up with a micro sd card installed, it may be trying to mount that filesystem as root. Does it behave itself when the external SD card is removed?
I have had three problems so far:
-
System gets into a mode where it will boot, machine is pingable, USB is working (because ctrl-alt-del works on a USB keyboard) but none of the services are running (can’t ssh to the unit) and the HDMI video isn’t working (have a signal but not displaying anything). Once the unit gets into this mode, the only recovery is to re-flash it. It has done this twice.
-
Sometimes when power is applied it will not boot. The LEDs don’t light, nothing. Cycling power to the unit via plug/unplug of the power supply clears the problem’
-
Commenting the entries out of /etc/network/interfaces for usb0 has no effect. I have commented out the lines in /etc/network/interfaces but it still comes up active.
My guess is that your system is trying to mount the sd card as the root partition and none of your service daemons are there. Which image are you running? I think for me the problem of booting with an sd card was fixed with the image found on BBB-eMMC-flasher-ubuntu-13.04-2013-09-27 but even running that image it ended up “hanging” once in that mode where it won’t boot from either eMMC or sd, interface comes up, is pingable, but no services start, no display from HDMI, keyboard works. That sounds to me like the problem you are facing. The only way out of that mode I have found so far is re-flashing the unit.
Thanks George, I actually do want to boot the operating system on the SD card which has two partitions made according to instructions at http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black. The operating system I installed on the SD card is ubuntu-13.04-console-armhf-2013-07-22.tar.xz. The LEDs are operating as I expect from booting my other image (which also boots the SD card) but was a downloaded image as opposed to a compiled image. When I apply power, the LEDs light up after a few seconds as expected. When I hold the reset switch down, then after about 8-10 seconds, the LEDs turn off, again as expected when an SD running machine is turned off. Everything looks right except for the closed ports.
So 'ssh' should work by default with the console image. Two potential
issues i see, your using a static IP. Can i assume you've tested
pinging this device from another pc on your network? Second, are you
using the raw ip address with ssh, or the device name?
Either way, openssh-server is installed by default, with the default
port 22 configuration..
Regards,
In fact, port 80 should also be alive with apache, I'm thinking your
network is NOT actually setup correctly..
Regards,
Hi Robert, pinging from a remote works fine; either with it's name (I have it in /etc/hosts on the remote), or with its IP address. ssh does not work with either, when trying ssh (or nmap or ping), I mostly use the IP address, not the name. The problem is no ports are open
On the "image" SD, both 22 and 80 are open, and openssh-server is running. I edited /etc/network/interfaces to be the same on the 'compiled version' SD, but no ports are open.
What is the "exact" file name of the one that doesn't work?

If you happen to be running an "older" image it's not my problem...
Otherwise what's the point of me pushing 'updated/fixed' images???
Regards,
Robert, the downloaded file was

I downloaded it about 2 months ago using something like
http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black
everything went well except ssh’ng to the BBB after plugging in theSD card and powering up (although it looks like it is booting)

That image works here.. (ip didn't come up right away so i had to dhclient eth0)

Regards,
Robert, I will look into it, but by dhclient eth0, do you mean switch
from static ip address in /etc/network/interfaces to a dhcp
specification for eth0? Or do I have to start a dhcp client server? Or
something else? Just giving me a direction should be enough. Thanks again.

Robert, I got the downloaded image version working fine; the trouble was trying to access a compiled version working; I am still unsuccessful with this, and have given up on it for now, and am just working with the image version for now; I wll come back to it later, but currently have no idea how to start with addressing it without being able to interact with the BBB at all (with the compiled version). Anyways, thanks for taking the time.
