Hi,
There is a Fedora 19 image for the Beaglebone Black at http://parasense.fedorapeople.org, but I'm not sure how to use it. When copied to an SD card it boots into the MATE desktop OK, as the user "guest". However, root seems to have a password, which I can't find documented, so I can't much further than just doodling with things.
Regards, Steve
The root password is not set.
The guest user should have sudo privileged enabled (member of the wheel group), so you should be able to perform your privileged tasks.
Alternatively you may set the root password by mounting the rootfs from another computer (or from inside Angstrom), and manually alter /etc/shadow.
You should know that I'm planning to retire the beaglebone black remix soon, once Fedora has a booting kernel the remix will become irrelevant.

Hi Jon,
Silly me. I really should have tried sudo. Now I have a usable system.
Thanks a lot for providing this image file. I think this setup should be good enough for me until Fedora 20 appears. I just want a nice familiar Fedora environment to work in as I develop some neon code.
Regards, Steve

Hi Jon,
When I do a yum update on an Beaglebone Black using your Fedora 19 image I get the following issue:
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/sbin/mtr: cpio: cap_set_file
when the mtr RPM updates. I get similar errors with the rsh and systemd RPMS. Do you know if something in the way your kernel is built will prevent cap_set_file from working?
Regards, Steve

This is because the kernel (which was taken from Angstrom release) does not have all the configuration options Fedora needs.
Stuff like ACLs, xattrs, or whatever else.... stuff that relates to filesystem capabilities.
It's probably best to update the Beaglebone black remix inside a chroot from another system, or not at all. =(
We are working on getting the mainline kernel to boot BBB with all the proper fedora configs merged, at which point I'll retire the remix.
(it's very poor of me to make available such a fragile remix in the first place)
My apologies,
-Jon Disnard

Which I'm secretly hoping will sort of be working by F-20 alpha. I'm been bashing away at AM33xx/OMAP issues in the 3.11 kernel for the last 3-4 days with very little headway but OMAP3 (Beagle xM) is at least now booting on 3.11 and I've had the BBone White booting but there's still issues with the MMC so there's been a little headway but we're not there yet.
