Beaglebone:Installing openbox fails

by **mcc** » Sat Aug 18, 2012 1:02 pm

Hi,

previously I crippled my installation by saying "Yes" to the suggested update of pacman in beforehand to any
other installation.
It was suggested not to follow the suggestion and say "No" to the upgrade of pachman.

Now I wanted to install openbox, which has a couple of dependencies.
And again the some library what had been missed by the upgrade of pacman (and which
makes pacman invalid) now hits this installation.

It seems this is a not so minor problem, which I want to circumvent finally so I will be safe to
configure, update, upgrade and add packages to my system.

How can I acchieve this ?

PS: And ... pacman gets killed again. Time for another act of using the backup....<sigh>

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

The library in question is: ld-linux-armhf.so.3 (see errors in log below)

ld-linux-armhf.so.3: cannot open shared object

There is your problem.

I strongly suggest an Syu prior to installing packages.

mcc,

I also recently purchase a BeagleBone to add to my collection of ARM computers. I have a few PogoPlug V2 (Pink) systems running ArchLinux. I ran into all the same problems installing ArchLinux on my BeagleBone that you posted, but I eventually got things running correctly. Openntpd and Samba are working fine for me.

I had to reinstall so many times (creating a clean SD card), that I eventually created a very basic script. Since the only access I have to a Linux system is ArchLinux running on my PogoPlug and my PogoPlug does not have an SD slot, I used a USB - SD reader, which is why the /dev/sdbX might seem strange for an SD card. So if anyone uses this script, they need to be 100% sure the script addresses the correct /dev. For ArchLinux, you also need to install dosfstools (pacman –Sy dosfstools) for mkfs.vfat to work prior to running the script. Obviously if you don’t want to download (wget) the tar files over and over, you would comment out those lines and comment out the lines that delete the tar files. I was too lazy to make the script interactive and simply edit it depending on what I wanted to do.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# This script is used to create a new (clean SD card) install of Arch Linux for the BeagleBone.
# Before you use this script, you must use fdisk to create two partitions on the SD card.
# The first partition only needs to be 128MB in size but must be set to bootable and must
# be type 'e' which is FAT 16.
# The second partition is a normal Linux partition.

mkfs.vfat -F 16 -n "bootloader" /dev/sdb1
mkfs.ext3 -L "rootfs" /dev/sdb2
mkdir /tmp/boot
mkdir /tmp/root
mount /dev/sdb1 /tmp/boot
mount /dev/sdb2 /tmp/root
wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/omap/BeagleBone-bootloader.tar.gz
wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-am33x-latest.tar.gz
tar -xvf BeagleBone-bootloader.tar.gz -C /tmp/boot
tar -xvf ArchLinuxARM-am33x-latest.tar.gz -C /tmp/root
cp /tmp/root/boot/uImage /tmp/boot
sync
sync
sync
umount /tmp/boot
umount /tmp/root
rmdir /tmp/boot
rmdir /tmp/root
rm BeagleBone-bootloader.tar.gz
rm ArchLinuxARM-am33x-latest.tar.gz')

I hope you continue to post about your experience running ArchLinux on the BeagleBone. I don’t see too much discussion about the BeagleBone and ArchLinux, so it’s nice to know someone else is as new to the BeagleBone running ArchLinux as I am.

Is your BeagleBone now up and running with ArchLinux?
