Help with 4.0.1b Guide Patch

[Zorin]

Hello everyone;

I have been reading various threads around here for days and have so far been very sucessfuly at hacking my first Tivo unit.

I am working with a SD-DVR40 running the InstallCake 4.0.1b image.

Everything has worked wonderfuly so far. The only thing I can't seem to get past is installing the guide patch.

I am following the steps outlined in this thread (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39504)

Here is what I am seeing when I walk through the process.

I FTPed the guide_patch_v401b.tcl file to the var folder on my Tivo. I then telnedded in to the unit and ran the commands listed here.


bash-2.02#
bash-2.02# cd /var
bash-2.02#
bash-2.02# chmod 777 guide_patch_v401b.tcl
bash-2.02#
bash-2.02# mount -o remount,rw /
bash-2.02#
bash-2.02# cp /tvbin/tivoapp /tvbin/tivoapp.guide_patch
bash-2.02#
bash-2.02# guide_patch_v401b.tcl /tvbin/tivoapp.guide_patch
bash: .//guide_patch_v401b.tcl: No such file or directory


I am stumped on this one. I have searched the forums, but have not seen this before. Can anyone shed some light on what is going on here?

Thanks in advance!

Off the top of my head, /var is not in your path. Linux does not automatically llook in the current directory for an executable.

Try: /var/guide_patch_v401b.tcl /tvbin/tivoapp.guide_patch

You might also try:


./guide_patch_v401b.tcl /tvbin/tivoapp.guide_patch

Thank you all for your suggestions. I ended up using google to search instead of the search built in to the forums and came up with this thread (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-39516)

Once I followed the steps outlined there I am good to go.

Thanks again for the assistance.
