Unable to connect beagle bone black by ssh

Question

I wanted to install pip onto beagle bone black,and I tried this:

  /usr/bin/ntpdate -b -s -u pool.ntp.org
    opkg update && opkg install python-pip python-setuptools

then, it threw errors,~~but Unfortunately, I didn't log that errors.~~ this is the error:

Collected errors:
 * parse_from_stream_nomalloc: Excessively long line at 6. Corrupt file?

it was occurred a week ago and was't solved yet. I wanted to solve it now and I tried connect by ssh,but I failed. When I ping to beagle bone, it responds, and Cloud9 IDE is working too but not ssh. I don't think this is serious problem since I can connect to beagle bone by other methods: Cloud9 or so. However, to use python on beagle bone, I need to connect by ssh.

Before trying to update and install python-pip, I could connect by ssh.

~~Do you have any ideas to solve this connection problem?~~

I checked this but this wasn't helpful Cannot connect to beagle bone black

I could connect by GateOne SSH client, but still unable to connect from terminal.

Did those steps help you in using ssh. I too have problem with ssh while gateOne ssh, cloud9IDE and ping works all the time! — Anoop K. Prabhu, Dec 11 '13 at 13:02
yes it did help! First, Try these steps from gateOne ssh. and Before update `opkg`, don't forget updating current time — SamuraiT, Dec 19 '13 at 06:40

I solved this problem by succeeding update opkg, so I will write the details:

First, remove beaglbone file

rm  /var/lib/opkg/lists/beaglebone

and,remove lists folder

rmdir /var/lib/opkg/lists

then, set current time on beagle

/usr/bin/ntpdate -b -s -u pool.ntp.org

afterwards, update and upgrade opkg:

opkg update and opkg upgrade

now you can use opkg !
