Hi there everyone Linux neophyte here. I'm copying this over here from another forum where I'm trying to get some help.
I recently purchased a Beaglebone Black Rev B. I've been having trouble with opkg update so that I can install Python and begin working with the GPIO pins. I have correctly flashed the board with a fresh distribution of Angstrom twice now, to no avail. I have looked around online and tried the various fixes suggested, to no avail. The board is connected properly over DHCP. Initially, I was a bit concerned because I was unable to set the NTP server on the board: root@beaglebone:~# cd /home/root root@beaglebone:~# date Sat Jan 1 00:22:56 UTC 2000 root@beaglebone:~# mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime.old root@beaglebone:~# cd /usr/share/zoneinfo root@beaglebone:/usr/share/zoneinfo# ls Africa CST6CDT Europe GMT0 MST7MDT Pacific Universal zone.tab America EET GB Greenwich NZ ROC W-SU Asia EST GMT HST NZ-CHAT ROK WET Australia EST5EDT GMT+0 MET PRC UCT Zulu CET Etc GMT-0 MST PST8PDT UTC iso3166.tab root@beaglebone:/usr/share/zoneinfo# cd America root@beaglebone:/usr/share/zoneinfo/America# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago /etc/localtime root@beaglebone:/usr/share/zoneinfo/America# nano /etc/default/ntpdate root@beaglebone:/usr/share/zoneinfo/America# ntpdate-sync root@beaglebone:/usr/share/zoneinfo/America# date Fri Dec 31 18:25:12 CST 1999 root@beaglebone:/usr/share/zoneinfo/America# So that was weird. Then when I tried to run opkg update I get the following result: root@beaglebone:~# opkg update Downloading http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/ ... ackages.gz<http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/armv7a-vfp-neon/base/Packages.gz> . wget: bad address 'feeds.angstrom-distribution.org' Downloading http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/ ... ackages.gz<http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/armv7a-vfp-neon/machine/beaglebone/Packages.gz> . wget: bad address 'feeds.angstrom-distribution.org' Downloading http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/ ... ackages.gz<http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/armv7a-vfp-neon/debug/Packages.gz> . wget: bad address 'feeds.angstrom-distribution.org' Downloading http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/ ... ackages.gz<http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/armv7a-vfp-neon/gstreamer/Packages.gz> . wget: bad address 'feeds.angstrom-distribution.org' Downloading http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/ ... ackages.gz<http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/all/Packages.gz> . wget: bad address 'feeds.angstrom-distribution.org' Downloading http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/ ... ackages.gz<http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/armv7a-vfp-neon/perl/Packages.gz> . wget: bad address 'feeds.angstrom-distribution.org' Downloading http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/ ... ackages.gz<http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/armv7a-vfp-neon/python/Packages.gz> . wget: bad address 'feeds.angstrom-distribution.org' Collected errors: * opkg_download: Failed to download http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/ ... ackages.gz<http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/armv7a-vfp-neon/base/Packages.gz>, wget returned 1. * opkg_download: Failed to download http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/ ... ackages.gz<http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/armv7a-vfp-neon/machine/beaglebone/Packages.gz>, wget returned 1. * opkg_download: Failed to download http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/ ... ackages.gz<http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/armv7a-vfp-neon/debug/Packages.gz>, wget returned 1. * opkg_download: Failed to download http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/ ... ackages.gz<http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/armv7a-vfp-neon/gstreamer/Packages.gz>, wget returned 1. * opkg_download: Failed to download http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/ ... ackages.gz<http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/all/Packages.gz>, wget returned 1. * opkg_download: Failed to download http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/ ... ackages.gz<http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/armv7a-vfp-neon/perl/Packages.gz>, wget returned 1. * opkg_download: Failed to download http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/ ... ackages.gz<http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/armv7a-vfp-neon/python/Packages.gz>, wget returned 1.
