01:07 <renrelkha_> i have bbblack, with usb wifi dongle, i want it to create wifi network on boot that i can connect to from another pc, so i can ssh into the black. i searched earlier and tried some things but ended up with dhcp disabled on the usb gadget ethernet and reflashed the board to start from scratch. can someone recommend good instructions to accomplish this

01:09 <renrelkha_> i am unsure if this can be done with connman or if i need hostapd and isc-dhcp-server im just confused at this point

01:11 <set_> Hello...

01:12 <set_> Let me get the link for the new way of connecting to WiFi.

01:12 <set_> Here: https://forum.beagleboard.org/t/archive-2022-01-01-debian-11-x-bullseye-monthly-snapshots/31463

01:13 <set_> The beginning of that link shows how to initialize what file w/ the updated kernels and images.

01:13 <set_> it is /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf and it needs particular set up ideas to get WiFi up and running.

01:17 <renrelkha_> im using buster with 4.19 kernel, not bullseye and 5.1 kernel..

01:18 <set_> Oh.

01:19 <set_> Hmm.

01:19 <set_> Let me sign in.

01:19 <renrelkha_> id rather hear from someone that actually knows what they are talking about seth, sorry

01:20 <set_> No issue.

01:20 <set_> have fun.

01:20 <set_> Oh. One last thing, https://linux.die.net/man/5/wpa_supplicant.conf

01:32 <set_> I found /etc/connman/ has some files and one in particular called main.conf!

01:34 <set_> This is what is in my file for main.conf, i.e. https://pastebin.com/44egZ0Mu

01:37 <set_> And one more thing, here is /lib/systemd/system/connman.service: https://pastebin.com/XW8aQjbg

01:41 <set_> For reference, I am on Buster with kernel 5.10.x but image 2020-04-06.

17:13 <zmatt> renrelkha_: looks like the way it's done for the wl18xx on beaglebone variants that have one, there's a boot script that (depending on config in /etc/default/bb-wl18xx ) either uses connman wifi tether or it uses hostapd

17:15 <zmatt> renrelkha_: I personally don't have experience with either, I use systemd-networkd as network manager and configure wpa_supplicant directly (as client or as AP, it can do both)

19:29 <jfsimon1981> Good night

19:29 <jfsimon1981> does "halt" command not exist on the beagle ?

19:29 <jfsimon1981> Can't seem to make it shutdown from console ...

20:45 <set_> shutdown

20:46 <set_> I think the halt command does not appear to be installed.

20:51 <jfsimon1981> ok thank you

20:59 <set_> No issue!

20:59 <set_> I used to use it when it was around too.

20:59 <set_> Since then, poweroff or shutdown -h now works, i.e. do not quote me on the poweroff command.

21:25 <set_> jfsimon1981: The halt command was for Angstrom images or at least it used to work w/ those images and Distros.

21:26 <jfsimon1981> ok

21:26 <jfsimon1981> i'll check tht

21:26 <set_> Now, w/ shutdown, one can alter its "now" or "later" options for shutting down.

21:27 <set_> It is neat, I think. If I want to shutdown when the door opens, shutdown. If I want to shutdown now, now is the time.

21:28 <jfsimon1981> Those are'nt available

21:30 <jfsimon1981> my mistake halt works

21:30 <set_> Nice!

21:30 <jfsimon1981> just needs to login as root (sudo su)

21:30 <set_> Oh.

21:30 <set_> I use sudo - root

21:30 <set_> So, maybe root has halt powers!

21:31 <set_> what about halt -f?

21:40 <jfsimon1981> yes once halt works all options work

21:40 <jfsimon1981> only the default user apparently can't see the sbin folder

21:41 <jfsimon1981> that's fine that way

21:42 <jfsimon1981> i think it's just the user setup, it hasn't the sbin in its path.

21:47 <set_> Oh.

21:47 <set_> Nice info. Thank you.

21:47 <set_> I was not aware of this fact.

22:53 <set_> Who is the person that did the updates to eLinux or was it a multi-person thing?

22:54 <set_> Wait...

22:54 <set_> Wait...I think the process is ongoing. Forget it.

23:30 <set_> Hold your seats! RelayCape is working on the 5.10.x kernel w/ an updated image from rcn-ee.com!

23:30 <set_> I have not published anythin' in a bit. Maybe I should make a post?

23:30 <set_> It clicks!

23:31 <set_> It is like that old tech, i.e. The Clapper.

23:31 <set_> Clap on, clap off. Ha.

23:32 <set_> Now, to put some source behind this mayhem.

23:58 <set_> Well, I will be the first to admit, BBIO is still relevant. It works on the newer kernels and images. Someone must have been working on it!
