Ubuntu on Beagleboard-xM

Hello,
I am installing Ubuntu on Beagleboard-xm. I have configured the SD-card using Netinstall method. After this I have started booting by placing the SD-card on beagleboard-xm. Here it is asking to configure the network. For this should we connect the internet connection to the beagleboard-xm’s ethernet port? or How should I configure the network? I request you kindly help me.

Thankyou.

No need to try and configure the network until after the network is connected. So, I would connect the network and then configure it,

Here it is defaultly configuring with IPv6 setting. Can I change it to IPv4 settings. I request you to kindly help me in connecting my network through IPv4 setting since my network is with IPv4 setting only.

Sorry. Your network is there. I am here. Best option would be to Google it based on your router brand and model and set it up based on that.

Gerald

The "install" only probes first for IPv6 and then IPv4, before setting
up your network connection. Is it really getting ipv6 only? what does
your router say for an ip?

But honestly, as you seem to be getting stuck on every 'option' in the
netinstall, you may just want to use the "Demo Image" for awhile
first, till your more comfortable with linux.

While booting it is really getting IPv6 only, I have checked it many times. By any how can I change network connection to IPv4.?

Well.. There's nothing wrong with the script.. Check your
router/firewall/dhcp server...

Just tested:
sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdd --dtb ./hwpack/omap3-beagle-xm.conf
--distro raring --serial-mode

After getting ip, so your at the hostname screen

I have checked my router. While testing it is giving an error::

tilab@tilab-HP-Pro-3330-MT:~$ sudo /mk_mmc.sh --mmc/dev/sdb --dtb ./hwpack/omap3-beagle-xm.conf --distro raring --serial-mode
sudo: /mk_mmc.sh: command not found

--------------------------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm guessing you are not even in the correct directory...

Regards,

PS: since you've started your adventure, you 'really' should issue a
"git pull" in the netinstall directory, as there have been a lot of
bug fixes/etc..

Regards,

Should I enter in to the directory of the sdcard. Sir can you please tell me how and in which directory should I enter?

What are you talking about?

The "mk_mmc.sh" is command in the base "netinstall" directory..

Please read the first 5 lines of:
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall/blob/master/README

Regards,

Your problem is you are missing a <dot>. It's:

sudo ./mk_mmc

and not:

sudo /mk_mmc

As you have told to test , I have tested with the command:
sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdd --dtb ./hwpack/omap3-beagle-xm.conf --distro raring --serial-mode
then while booting by inserting the SD card into the beagleboard-xm

tilab@tilab-HP-Pro-3330-MT:~$ sudo /mk_mmc.sh --mmc/dev/sdb --dtb ./hwpack/omap3-beagle-xm.conf --distro raring --serial-mode

sudo: /mk_mmc.sh: command not found

A dot is missing before the slash, if I am not completely mistaken.

I have corrected it after that below is the case:

You missed a BIG step in my previous email directions...
