Awaiting hostname never completes #36

Open cflewis opened 8 years ago

cflewis commented 8 years ago

Using the image in #34 , I was able to get as far as getting VirtualBox up and running. It does appear to be doing something (checking top shows the CPU going up quite a bit, and then falling off again), but whatever the create script is waiting for never happens.

I've verified this on my local Ubuntu machine and a cloud Ubuntu VM. Same behavior :/

This seems to be taking way too long.
Perhaps CTRL+C and try again.

Also verified with a fresh install on Mac OS X :(

From what I can tell, this will never work. It seems to me that the prompt (which you get if you boot the image and hit "Return" after it's finished) says test_ap whereas the script is looking for something with tessel in the name.

Hacking in test_ap to the script doesn't work though, as the initialize function fails to sed what it needs to either, and I don't know enough about TCP sockets to know how to begin debugging that :(

I had the same issue: Awaiting hostname... This seems to be taking way too long. Perhaps CTRL+C and try again.

This is how I was able to get past this problem: Launch vm console on virtualbox. Edit file /etc/config/system. Change HOSTNAME from 'test_ap' to 'Tessel-XXXXXXXX'. Reboot
