CHMOD +x problem! Help!! plz

[Sane-Dog]

I am trying to upgrade from 2.5 to 2.5.2. To briefly list the problems I have already overcome:

Got Extreme upgrade file, Burned ISO to CD, created bash cable, Hypertermed into my drs6000 (btw that one needs 9600baud rate..), moved UPGRD252.TCL and .TAR file, found I had to rename them to lower case, (That took some linux reading!!), No I appear to have everything loaded, renamed and ready to go, BUT>>> I can not run chmod +x! I look at the help, and +x is not listed. I get 'unsupported command' or something similiar..

From what I have read, I have to run chmod +x before I can execute the .tcl file..

Help! Please! I need my locals back to watch Enterprise!!

thanks to all who post here! It has been a wealth of knowledge!!

You need to give chmod the name of the file to change, so it should be

chmod +x upgrd252.tcl

[Sane-Dog]

The exact message I get is:

bash-2.02# chmod +x upgrd252.tcl
chmod: upgrd252.tcl: Operation not permitted

I've tried to run the command too, and get:
bash-2.02# ./upgrd252.tcl
bash: ./upgrd252.tcl: Permission denied

Any other ideas? I'm starting to run out of them....

thanks

OK, the op not permitted is because the file is marked immutable. Do this

chattr -i upgrd252.tcl
chmod +x upgrd252.tcl

You might have to do the same with the .tar file.

BTW, you need to run this upgrade from the /var/hack directory I believe. If it still fails, try this:

chattr -i /var/hack

I appreciate all you help!!! Now to wait and see how long it takes for my locals to come back!!! Enterprise is BACK ON!! :)


Thanks again to all who post here!!

i was able to load the ./upgrd252.tcl by doing a chmod 777.
i was also able to see all the local channels (2-56) the guide display.
however, when i try to view any local channel, i was getting a 'channel not available' on the display. how can that be? i could view the programs on the 380's.
upgrading to v2.5.2 brought up the guide display for the locals on my dtivo but i still can see the locals.
what can i do to resolve this?

You'll need to do a Clear Program Data & To Do List from the System Reset menu under Messages & Setup. You'll lose all of your seaon passes & currently scheduled recordings so write them down before you clear the data. Your locals should come back after the data has been cleared. It will take some time for the guide data to repopulate so it will probably be 24-48 hours before you can set your season passes up again. You should be able to schedule any upcoming single episodes if they're in the guide. All of your current recordings, settings, and preferences will remain intact.
