File Name Unknown - Error Message

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Hi Steve
I've been dark for a while and wanted to bring you up to speed on a couple of things. It appears that all is working. Here's a brief overview of the additional steps I took (beyond your instructions).

I've got CumulusMX setup and running on a BeagleBone running Debian.

- Connect WS to BB before starting CumulusMX. This will allow you configure the "Settings" file from the main dashboard.
- Start CumulusMX from a terminal session and keep the terminal up. I found closing the terminal will shut down CumulusMX - this maybe obvious to some, but no to a newby like myself.
- If you don't wish to dedicate a monitor, keyboard + mouse to the BB, then one must install a VNC server onto the BB and use a VNC Viewer to gain access to the BB / terminal. This set up can be done remotely via a Putty session, but from then on use the VNC Viewer to interact with CumulusMX.

These are the steps I took to work through some of the issues. There maybe a better way of doing things, but I found the above has worked for me.

Thanks to those that help answer some of my questions.
