Hello all,
I have Beaglebone Black eMMC flashed with Ubuntu 13.04 (armhf). I power it up via USB cable phone charger and connected to my computer via ethernet. I was successfully able to SSH when I had Ansgstrom distrib., with both USB provided and Ethernet via command “ssh root@beaglebone.local”. Now, after flashing it with Ubuntu, the only option I have is to hook up Beaglebone to my home router and lookup its IP via modem settings and SSH. Since it is inconvenient for me, I am looking for a solution that I can connect it to my computer via ethernet and SSH via command like “ssh ubuntu@ubuntu-armhf.local”. Although, this command is presented on many support sites, I have no success with it even after multiple attempts. The problem I noticed is when I connect the Bone to my computer via ethernet it is assigned self-ip in the range 169.xxx.xxx.xxx.
Reply would be highly appreciated.
Note: Command ssh ubuntu@ubuntu-armhf.local was tried on mac and linux systems.
