Understanding and reading SSH output. - deanmv - 2012-04-13 There are many threads in here that show people trying to install/use SSH (if it be via putty or terminal) and hitting errors but still carrying on with the commands. If ONE of the lines fails it normally means the ones after will as well, so here are things to look out for when using terminal so that you know what the output of the commands you are running are: wget 404 error Code: Apple-TV:~ root# wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14341410/org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_11.0-4_iphoneos-arm.deb This is when a file cannot be found, most of the time because something has been spelt wrong (notice the 11.0-4 when it should be 11.0-3). Solution One letter/number wrong can cause this error so always be careful of what you are typing POSIX: Operation Timed Out Code: Apple-TV:~ root# apt-get update This is a rarer one but this will be when a server cannot be reached, this is normally nothing to do with anything you have entered, just that the server the other end may be down. Solution The only time i've seen this is when Eden was released so XBMC was pretty busy when people were updating. Just wait a while and try again later when it might be a bit quieter. dpkg -i: No Sure File Or Directory error Code: Apple-TV:~ root# dpkg -i http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14341410/org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_11.0-4_iphoneos-arm.debdpkg: error processing http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14341410/org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_11.0-4_iphoneos-arm.deb (--install): This one is basically like the wget 404 error. The file you are trying to depackage to install cannot be found. Either something is spelt wrong (same example before, there is 10.0-4 and not 10.0-3) or you are in the wrong folder as to where you downloaded the file. Solution Again, CHECK YOUR SPELLING! Everything must be perfect for it to work. Also you may be in the wrong directory as to where it was originally downloaded. You can check what files are in the current folder you are in using the Code: ls Code: cd Code: Apple-TV:~ root# cd /var/mobile Code: Apple-TV:/var/mobile root# ls Hope this helps some people.

RE: Understanding and reading SSH output. - deanmv - 2012-04-13 Should stop a lot of install help threads if it is read, think I covered most things, if anything needs to be added then say and i'll edit it. RE: Understanding and reading SSH output. - Rhothgar - 2013-02-02 This is a fantastic little thread and still relevant nearly a year on. Quick question for you. I am trying to downgrade from Frodo to Eden and have saved the .deb files locally on an old iMac Installed of going to the pain of transferring deb file to ATV2, is it possible to dpkg - i the file from the local machine? I am using Terminal and have tried a number of things but cannot get it to read a local file. RE: Understanding and reading SSH output. - Ned Scott - 2013-02-02 No, you need to have the deb file on the ATV2. |
