MSHEETDIR migration guide

[bchtpc]

hum, it looks like it's been changed a bit, since last I looked at it

first we'll try the easy way, since there's a restart block

Code: Select all

config_tool -c LINKSHEETS=OFF
config_tool -s
config_tool -s
reboot


yes, we're disabling linksheets because I don't want it to interfere/give false positive etc

OK, I'm flying blind here for the sake of expediency. Just so you know, I'm nowhere near my home so I can't look at the TV till late this afternoon.

once rebooted

Code: Select all

config_tool -c LINKSHEETS=ON
/etc/init.d/S67msheet restart


and see what output it give, and if moviesheets from MSHEETDIR are available on screen
the script should put them in /msheets and in /osd

Via Dolphin, /tmp/mnt/3CE4-ADBC is empty, /msheets is empty, /osd has several files and folders .. not sure what to look for here.

[KAD]

well, everything still points back to something wrong with the directory

Via Dolphin, /tmp/mnt/3CE4-ADBC is empty,

this is why it keeps failing, if you can't see the directory, then neither will the script see it

OK, I'm flying blind here for the sake of expediency. Just so you know, I'm nowhere near my home so I can't look at the TV till late this afternoon

also no rush, I'm at work as well

Is there any point in trying the thumb drive in Port 2?

Anything else you want me to try?

[KAD]

you can try port 2, who knows

something else you can try is

Code: Select all

chmod -R 777 /tmp/mnt/3CE4-ADBC/

this changes permission to everybody can read/write do whatever for all contents on the thumbdrive

Per Dolphin, the rights of /tmp/mnt/3CE4-ADBC were 755. I used Telnet to chmod -R 777 /tmp/mnt/3CE4-ADBC/ and then dolphin shows rights as 777. I then reboot and the rights are back to 755. Is this because the folder is being recreated at boot?

[KAD]

in theory the 755 should be ok as well, what are the permissions on the MSHEETDIR

I'm running out of idea's, but as long as you can't use dolphin / file manager to browse to that folder the script is not going to work
what did you use to format the stick, I know the HP tool creates a hidden incompatible partition
maybe there's something odd like that going on

while it's located at /tmp/mnt/...

what happens if you mkdir ...../test

can you then navigate and find the folder in file manager/dophin

/tmp/media/usb/USB1/3CE4-ADBC/MSHEETDIR is 777

I formatted the drive fat32 with XP.

In dolphin I can't create a directory in /tmp/mnt. I assume because it's not a real folder.
Is that what you mean by "while it's located at..."
To use mkdir, I would have to be in a dos prompt but can't cd to a unc so mapped D: with WD Link.
cd d:
mkdir test

I can then navigate to /tmp/media/usb/USB1/3CE4-ADBC and see test in dolphin but I can and always have been able to see MSHEETDIR as well. I think I've missed the point here somehow?

OK, update, I figured out I could do this in Telnet.

cd /
cd tmp
cd mnt
mkdir test

test is visible in dolphin in /tmp/mnt/



I originally created the MSHEETDIR folder using windows explorer. Don't remember if it was with the thumb drive plugged into netbook usb or via WD Link.

[KAD]

the file manager for WD will not let you create directories, that's fine
but you should be able to create something via telnet

Code: Select all

mkdir /tmp/mnt/3CE4-ADBC/Test

and then if you can browse to it in file manager, you can cp everything there

Code: Select all

cp /tmp/mnt/3CE4-ADBC/MSHEETDIR/* /tmp/mnt/3CE4-ADBC/Test/

OK, just figured the above out. Here are my results. I've left my dos blunders in for comic relief.

# cd mnt
# ls
3CE4-ADBC apps
# mkdir test
# rmdir test
# ls
3CE4-ADBC apps
# cd 3CE4-ADBC
# DIR
-sh: DIR: not found
# LS
-sh: LS: not found
# ls
# mkdir test
# cp /tmp/mnt/3CE4-ADBC/MSHEETDIR/* /tmp/mnt/3CE4-ADBC/Test/
cp: cannot stat `/tmp/mnt/3CE4-ADBC/MSHEETDIR/*': No such file or directory
#

Did you intend for me to copy from tmp/media?

[KAD]

so are you able to navigate to "test" in the file manager?

if /tmp/media/... can find the folder MSHEETDIR, yes you can copy from there
