Same error here.
I wanted to install Sabnzbd, but can't even install the required Optware.
3rd partition is increased and can't be the problem, it seems the linux partition is read only because I also can not create a directory with mkdir...
Anyone who knows how to fix this? A simple mount -o remount,rw / doesn't work.

Kind regards.

Ok, solved it!
Problem was my firmware and I replaced it with the newest 'h' version.
Optware is installed correctly and completely.

But when I install Sabnzbd I get an error...:
First lines are executed with no problem, but when I get to the end I get this:

service sabnzbd on
-sh: service: not found
service sabnzbd start
-sh: service: not found

The optware package of sabnzbd is displayed in infosite as installed package...

Does anyone have an idea what's going on?

Kkind regards.

Sorry for the maybe stupid question:
But where can I find the 'h'-version?
Is there an 'h'-version for the Playon!DVR?
Thank you!

Hello. I just reflashed my Patriot Box Office to the 4824 firmware, and it seems great.

I am trying to install optware, but there doesn't seem to be enough room when I run the ryanopt script.

Here is my df:

Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 137088 102680 34408 75% /
/dev/mtdblock/2 18432 4676 13756 25% /usr/local/etc
/dev/rd/0 40 40 0 100% /mnt/rd
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 311660996 78476 311582520 0% /tmp/hdd/volumes/HDD1
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 537604 34252 476044 7% /tmp/hdd/root
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 537604 34252 476044 7% /usr/local/bin/scripts

Is there a way to install optware on the HDD? I tried greating a symlink from /opt to /tmp/hdd/volumes/HDD1/opt, but the script died. It can't create the necessary symlinks across the physical disks.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Sorry the noise, I figured it out. For some reason there was an existing /opt symlinked to a directory under the flash file system, when I removed it, and restarted the ryanopt script, it ran fine.

Could not install on r4824 and also r3582

/etc/protocols: Permission denied
I was unable to write to /etc/protocols
Exiting..., installation failed!


The problem is that /etc partition is read only.

Any help ???

You could try the following:
1) copy the current contents of /etc/* to /usr/local/etc/etc/
2) add whatever needed to /usr/local/etc/etc
3) mount -o bind /usr/local/etc/etc /etc

This works for me ...
