the image for BeagleBoard xfce, 09/02/2023, ver 11.7 is lacking SSH not installed or not enabled

This is the 2nd time that the image got hungup. I was trying to get the IP address, but could not.
Pl mention how to install SSH?
also why the image does not have SSH or enabled?

Now I will be installing the image 3rd time.
This is very discouraging for BBB and waste of time.

Pl help in this respect to move forward smoothly.

ssh debian@192.168.7.2

You can sign in that way where debian is the username while the passcode is temppwd.

Use the IoT image that is on the official list, I know for fact that one is working fine. It only needs gdb and cmake and you are rockin and rolling all night long.

Even the image you are running should be working. How are you connecting it to the network, that is more than likely the problem. Highly doubt its the image.

Thanks Fred, for the response.

I want terminals, IDEs, UI. So I need xfce image.

through USB, which also provides power to the board.

Post the path to the exact image you are trying to use.

The XFCE image for the BBB may be too large for the eMMC.

P.S. I say use the micro SD Card.

the name of the xfce image from the Beagleboard distros that I put on my BBB is:

am335x-eMMC-flasher-debian-11.7-xfce-armhf-2023-09-02-4gb.img

Notes:
This is the only xfce image on distros for BBB.
I don’t see any image on the distros that mentions for micro SD card.
If there is, pl mention its name.

Thanks.

I am disappointed at BBB performance.
It could not be connected to the Internet.
Qt Creator IDE could not be put on it.

Perhaps it has ram disk. What ever programming I do, goes away next time I start BBB.
Any suggestions?

The only image I found on the BB distros for xfce is the one I listed in my previous email.

Just got it running and it is updating from the repository at this moment.

$sudo ifconfig

And lets see what that looks like.

Keep in mind this is a single core board, and a desktop is a heavy load. Did notice it is pretty sluggish getting up and the mouse cursor is on screen for a while then the desktop opens up. Well, it does not have enough room left to upgrade. That means mount your SD card and use fstab to configure it to mount on boot and move some directories over too SD card. You would be better off with a SD card image so you can run desktop directly.

Run the SD card image for best results, nothing wrong with doing that.

My apologies, but I am giving up on BBB.
I don’t have time to do different experimentations.

Is there a wireless BBB?

You would have to move upto a beagley-ai. We don’t use the wireless so that feature has not been tested by us, it is assumed that it works fine and it comes with an antenna.
