Installing Klipper on Beaglebone | 3D Printing | Page 1

Hello, I need a lot of help and I don't even know if this is the right place to ask this

Long story short, I am not literate when it comes to this stuff, I have an old printer that I am trying to update to using Klipper that uses a Beaglebone Black but have been running into issue after issue getting it to actually work

I have been trying to follow this guide. I have tried using the latest image Debian 10.3 2020-04-06 4GB SD IoT and using the exact same image Debian 9.9 2019-08-03 4GB SD IoT. Both times when I type the first command:

./klipper/scripts/install-beaglebone.sh```
I get the Error
```E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)```

Because I was having so many issues and a lot of people suggested to use KIAUH, following [their setup guide](https://github.com/th33xitus/kiauh), I could install the helper, but when I tried to get it to install Klipper it threw the same error. (I want to mention that one time I did get it to install Klipper, the SD card just ran out of space trying to install Moonraker, I am now using a larger SD card, but the same actions now throw this error)

Is there anyone with any knowhow or experience with Beagleboards or getting Klipper installed on them?

I used the raspberrypi imager to empty it, I’m new to all this so I don’t fully understand what to do

the df -k shows disk usage, your at 59% used

try running the guide from the start now, should be able to pull things in

gloomy hinge Jun 29, 2023, 9:38 PM

wet kernel the df -k shows disk usage, your at 59% used

ok so its only seeing 3.7GB i think

wet kernel Jun 29, 2023, 9:42 PM

#

yeah, i would reformat using windows then reflash it

gloomy hinge Jun 29, 2023, 9:43 PM

#

im on mac so idk if that changes anything

#

so i should empty it and reformat it to what

#

ExFAT or MS-DOS (FAT)

wet kernel Jun 29, 2023, 9:44 PM

#

i dont know how macs format but there should be an option

#

no FAT32?

gloomy hinge Jun 29, 2023, 9:46 PM

#

oh, the raspberypi imager has an "erase (format card as FAT32)"

wet kernel Jun 29, 2023, 9:46 PM

#

do that one then

gloomy hinge Jun 29, 2023, 9:47 PM

#

ok

#

then image it?

wet kernel Jun 29, 2023, 9:47 PM

#

yeah

gloomy hinge Jun 29, 2023, 9:48 PM

ok

#

this is what i have been doing earlier, but maybe something changed

#

ok, it flashed, the board is booting up now

verify the size with df -H first thing

#

was there an option to change the size in the pi imager?

gloomy hinge Jun 29, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

not that i saw

#

is there an imager that you are more familiar with? Ive just been using the Pi one because that was the only one i knew

wet kernel Jun 29, 2023, 9:56 PM

#

the pi is fine for imaging, just didnt know it had a formatter, try formatting through mac

#

should be an option to see the size

#

use FAT32 if its there exFAT if its not

gloomy hinge Jun 29, 2023, 9:57 PM

#

This is what it looks like after erasing it

wet kernel Jun 29, 2023, 9:57 PM

now use the imager and retry
