RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - superfreak79 - 2013-12-21 (2013-12-21, 08:54)AuXBoX Wrote: You might be a able to create an init.d script to change the info on bootup. I can't see rc.local - but do there is init.d Thanks. RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - AuXBoX - 2013-12-21 maybe try Code: sudo nano /etc/init.d/S40network you might be able to add what you need in there or maybe Code: sudo nano /etc/init.d/S45dns and write Code: #!/bin/sh Edit what you need RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - dhead - 2013-12-21 @AuXBoX It's buildroot based system. I don't believe there's a write premission, the system is ro except the userdata partition. The user possibly can remount the partition with write permission, the problem is that probably /usr is squashfs file mount from the system partition so I'm not sure if the user can remount the system partition without unmounting the squashfs. But why going all this trouble ? XBMC should have the (experimental) Network Manager so the user can set the dns manually (maybe not with dhcp but true for static ip). Anyway I didn't tried this specific image (as I don't have a Geniatech device) but I would say f*** Geniatech, they are GPL violators (where are the Linux sources ?). Go to Corey's thread on XDA and ask to be a tester for your device, Corey already posted that he plans to add support to these devices and that he needs testers. this is the best choice for getting proper community support with full access to sources so that any developer can fix issues and build update images. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418029 RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - superfreak79 - 2013-12-21 (2013-12-21, 23:01)dhead Wrote: Go to Corey's thread on XDA and ask to be a tester for your device, Corey already posted that he plans to add support to these devices and that he needs testers. this is the best choice for getting proper community support with full access to sources so that any developer can fix issues and build update images. I support that Corey's doing... but he didn't get to ATV520 (yet) and Geniatech's came in the meantime. Happy to be a tester.

This is what I see: Code: #!/bin/sh RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - AuXBoX - 2013-12-22 @superfreak79 You create a new file not change that one. You could try what dhead said with [RELEASE]Network-Manager front-end for XBMCbuntu @dhead So can we not change or create these files if it's a buildroot based system? What if you change the original firmware before its flashed? I'm not very familiar with embedded linux stuff RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - dhead - 2013-12-22 @AuXBoX No, wrong Network Manager, the one I'm reffering to is already included in XBMC code, it's accessible through Settings -> System -> Network. see https://github.com/Pivosgroup/xbmc/commit/788783e2d15d0063d2269c39b18bfdd768094bac I didn't say you can't change files within the system only that I'm not sure as I didn't tried (it's non related to buildroot but to the fact the rootfs already mounted and that the squashfs is mount from the rootfs). You can change the update.zip before flashed but don't forget to sign it again. I've got no idea how to do this on Windows, on Linux I only signed the images through Pivos Buildroot here's a quick how-to that I've written in the past Quote:... If you’ve got linux running on your system you can easily sign the update.zip. RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - nickr - 2013-12-22 why not change the dns server your router gives out?

I use DD-WRT and will need to explore dnsmasq further. Currently I set the static DNS at each device - except for the Linux XBMC here.

I don't think there is one. So can someone let me know how to upgrade the ATV400. I also wanted to let you guys know that I ordered a ATV120 and it came with with this same version of Linux XBMC and it actually works great (when you're close to the wireless router.)

Not sure what's different. I still can't manually set DNS from Internet settings.
