get the following file;

Quote:http://code.google.com/p/atvusb-creator/...ils.tar.gz

This contains a bunch of bin utils that will work on the AppleTV. unpack and copy the files (not the folder) into "/usr/bin" on the AppleTV. wget and gunzip are included.

"top" will need a post copy change. "sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/top".

Thumbs Up 
Thanks for the replys guys.

Please bear in mind that I am a noob, and not a coder.

= "/usr/bin" on the AppleTV.

Where is this, whats the full pathHuh I can only get into frontrow on cyberduck.

Also in using an APPLE TV.


"top" will need a post copy change. "sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/top"

Huhhhhhhhh?


I thought the bin tools came with the standard usb patch? Ok, i will give it a go.... please let me know where the files go.

These binutils have nothing to do with USB.

"/usr/bin" is the full path, note the "/" in front.

/usr/bin is protected so you have to do this in a two step.

1) copy them to /Users/frontrow
2) ssh in and manually move them from /Users/frontrow to /usr/bin

google "appletv scp" and "appletv ssh" for more info.

Ok, I've installed the binutils (I had to change the permissions on wget for the script to run) and am now stuck on the final part of the script. For some reason the pax command won't execute. Any thoughts?

pax: could not exec: Permission denied
pax: End of archive volume 1 reached
pax: Sorry, unable to determine archive format.
ln: /usr/bin/python: File exists
ln: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/: File exists
-bash-2.05b$
-bash-2.05b$
