Hi there everyone
Linux neophyte here. I’m copying this over here from another forum where I’m trying to get some help.
I recently purchased a Beaglebone Black Rev B.
I’ve been having trouble with opkg update so that I can install Python and begin working with the GPIO pins.
I have correctly flashed the board with a fresh distribution of Angstrom twice now, to no avail.
I have looked around online and tried the various fixes suggested, to no avail.
The board is connected properly over DHCP.
Initially, I was a bit concerned because I was unable to set the NTP server on the board:
root@beaglebone:~# cd /home/root
root@beaglebone:~# date
Sat Jan 1 00:22:56 UTC 2000
root@beaglebone:~# mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime.old
root@beaglebone:~# cd /usr/share/zoneinfo
root@beaglebone:/usr/share/zoneinfo# ls
Africa CST6CDT Europe GMT0 MST7MDT Pacific Universal zone.tab
America EET GB Greenwich NZ ROC W-SU
Asia EST GMT HST NZ-CHAT ROK WET
Australia EST5EDT GMT+0 MET PRC UCT Zulu
CET Etc GMT-0 MST PST8PDT UTC iso3166.tab
root@beaglebone:/usr/share/zoneinfo# cd America
root@beaglebone:/usr/share/zoneinfo/America# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago /etc/localtime
root@beaglebone:/usr/share/zoneinfo/America# nano /etc/default/ntpdate
root@beaglebone:/usr/share/zoneinfo/America# ntpdate-sync
root@beaglebone:/usr/share/zoneinfo/America# date
Fri Dec 31 18:25:12 CST 1999
root@beaglebone:/usr/share/zoneinfo/America#
So that was weird. Then when I tried to run opkg update I get the following result:
root@beaglebone:~# opkg update

Please let me know what I’m doing wrong. Thanks.
