right now i just reflashed the image, and tasksel is done... should i do the dist-upgrade ?
Hmm, what I normally do is the following:
after the first boot you should do a full system upgrade, means
- Code: Select all
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get autoremove
after that you should be able to install a desktop like MATE without issues.
I'll try in a little while myself to check if there's any new update that causes issues.
The image wasn't changed in the meantime, so it could only be that Debian made some new packages that are causing issues now, but as I said, I'll check on it in a little while.
Sch4f wrote:@ the FAQ to let the xu4 run, there is written i have to update the kernel via odroid-utility... doesnt conflict that to the dist-upgrade ?
Yes, the odroid-utility is only for HardKernels images, and in fact ever since 15.04 image it's also no longer needed to update the Kernel.
Please don't use odroid-utility, it's probably harmful to this image.

btw. i cleaned the ports already
If assambled correctly you should have the USB 2.0 port free on the outside of the cloudshell. Using a USB hub should be good enough to control Wifi Adapter and keyboard/mouse, or whatever.
Another reason why Wifi is not working is, cause the firmware required for it is not yet installed.
Was it working on the XU4 previously? (for example with another image?)

Is somebody can explains a thing to me, why in Linux, for every simple thing (as use a keyboard proprely or make a samba sharing on USB device...) you have to be a NASA ingeneer ?
Fun thing is, I never had issues with keyboard and stuff.. And I'm actually using a very cheap no name wireless mouse/keyboard and it works out of the box.
I changed keyboard layout to German, and don't have any issues. In fact when I install a Desktop it's asking what keyboard i want to use, and I select german.. after it's done and I'm on the desktop everything is working fine with german keyboard layout..
So normally it's rather easy. Question is, why issn't it for you. Do you have another keyboard you could try?
