    Putty question (trying to install qhdtv)

    They say to do the following to activate a trial.

    QHDTV Enimag2 Install Instruction:

    1.download qhdtv-openpli-mipsel_1.0_all.ipk[/url]
    2.upload it to /tmp file which in your box
    3.go Telnet Run : opkg install -force-overwrite /tmp/qhdtv-openpli-mipsel_1.0_all.ipk
    4.open the QHDTV ,put your code "*******" .activate the account.
    Enjoy the channels now and looking forward to your good news! Yours sincerely.

    Windows does not have a telnet so I ran putty, entered my IP as root and typed in the above line like this
    Run : opkg install -force-overwrite /tmp/qhdtv-openpli-mipsel_1.0_all.ipk

    This is what I see on login and when I run the ipk.
    login as: root
    root@amikoalien:~# run:0pkg install -force-overwrite /tmp/qhdtv-openpli-mipsel_1.0_all.ipk
    -sh: run:0pkg: not found

    Can any one advise what I am doing wrong please

    I changed the letter O in opkg (In this post) to a number zero as it is showing as a smiley face instead of the letter

    The instructions are saying run the command opkg, so don't type run:

    Omit the run:
    The command is opkg.
    It's telling you to run it.

    The Amiko is not a mips based receiver, you cannot install mipsel packages. Has to be an sh4, or all (subject to being able to run on that CPU)

    However, that ipk does say "all" as well as "mipsel", and when you look at it, it as bit odd.
    The data.tar.gz only contains a directory hierarchy (usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/qhdtv/), but the postinst file runs 5 wgets (2 *.py,, 1 *.xml and 2*.png). It then kills (dead) enigma2, waits 40s and deletes the 2 *.py files (it should loop with a timeout until the *.pyo files get created - just in case 40s isn't enough, but hey...I didn't write this) [It also doesn't have a #! interpreter line - why are people still writing Version7-style scripts from 1979??)

    So it should actually install on any Enigma2 architecture.

    Strange that

    on a vu+ for instance I loaded enigma2-plugin-cams-mgcamd.1.35a_1.0-r3_mipsel.ipk (and that says mipsel.ipk)

    EDIT: Just read what birdman has said, so it should run ok.

    Thanks to CCS & Birdman for pointing out my error.

    doh

    Normally when people tell you command line instructions they enclose quotes & you omit them when typing.
    In this case they included quotes BEFORE the run part and added a colon, so I typed it as is.

    I am a dos luddite, but I do need to brush up on linux eh?

    Getting somewhere but with errors, appreciate further input.

    login as: root
    root@amikoalien:~# opkg install -force-overwrite /tmp/qhdtv-openpli-mipsel_1.0_all.ipk

    Installing qhdtv-openpli-mipsel (1.0) on root.

    Configuring qhdtv-openpli-mipsel.
    Collected errors:
    * parse_from_stream_nomalloc: Missing new line character at end of file!
    * parse_from_stream_nomalloc: Missing new line character at end of file!
    root@amikoalien:~#

    I have mooched around and read this:

    This is a pretty easy error to fix, although I'm not sure why it is an error in the first place.
    simply edit the offending file in /var/lib/opkg, go to the last line and add a newline

    Example:
    vi /var/lib/opkg/intel-iotdk

    however, when I look in /var/lib/opkg, I don't see "the offending file" to edit, just files such as: status, universal feed, vix amiko alien, vix spark etc etc.

    any help would be greatly appreciated

    Because a line is supposed to have an end. However, some editors don't put one on the last line by default.
    FWIW, the postinst file has the same problem.
    Basically the authors don't seem to have much Unix/Linux understanding. And obviously don't test their own code either.

    simply edit the offending file in /var/lib/opkg, go to the last line and add a newline
    The offending file will be /var/lib/opkg/info/qhdtv-openpli-mipsel.postinst

    But editing it probably won't help, as you'll have to install it again, and so the file will be overwritten - and fail again. You need to fix the file in the ipk.

    If you feel like trusting me, try this one.

    There is no Vix image or support for the Amiko receivers. You will have to refer your issue to the forum where they make the image.

    EDIT:

    Brilliant mate, that one worked fine, very much appreciated.
    =======================================

    I have downloaded the link in the email sent to me advising of replies, but seems to have been deleted in this thread, it said

    The offending file will be /var/lib/opkg/info/qhdtv-openpli-mipsel.postinst

    But editing it probably won't help, as you'll have to install it again, and so the file will be overwritten - and fail again. You need to fix the file in the ipk.

    If you feel like trusting me, try this one.

    There may also be other replies, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again.

    Thanks to whoever posted it

    I will try that one
