Re: Linux XBMC for square box (beta) - Gotham 13.1

I did the time settings posted a few posts back, but every time I unplug the box to move it the time keeps getting reset to 1970... the problem with this is it screws up an add-on called genesis... is there any other work around to fix time

Same with gomovies and GOtv Addons. No movies/TV shows are shown (unless they are before 1970)

Actually no because of hardware. No RTC battery on pcb to keep clock running w/o external power.

Cant you configure ntp to initialise from /etc/init.d on init?

I fixed date/time issues but had other stuff to finish so I did not release new linux version yet. Ntp should not be initialized via init.d but when network interface becomes active and thats what I did. Will release it soon.

So NetworkManager does not have a connection even after its init script?

It does have connection when network is connected. After it's connected, scripts from /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d are executed. In current firmware they are not executed because they do have wrong permissions.

I managed to work the time fix out using he information provide by @stane in post #171 (@stane thanks for the pointer in the right direction a this was the only issue I had with the current build). The permission for the scripts in the current build were set to 775 but they need to be 755 to run the scripts when Network Manager starts a Network connection. To work around the time issue while the new build is in progress you need to do the following:

Open an ssh session
logon using the root username and password
Type the following commands:
# cd /etc/NetworkManager
# chmod 755 dispatcher.d
# cd /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d
# chmod 755 01-network-script
# chmod 755 02-services-script
# exit

The time should now be synchronised with NTP after a reboot and after the power is removed.

@Stane thanks again for all your hard work

Thanks for this information @Night_Hawk

This is what I'm getting. Any idea what the problem is?

login as: [email protected]'s password:
[root@M8 /root]# cd /etc/NetworkManager
[root@M8 NetworkManager]# chmod 755 dispatcher.d
[root@M8 NetworkManager]# cd /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d
[root@M8 dispatcher.d]# chmod 755 01-network-script
[root@M8 dispatcher.d]# chmod 755 02-services.script
chmod: 02-services.script: No such file or directory

chmod: 02-services.script: No such file or directory

When to cd to /etc/NeworkManager/dispatcher.d type ls -l to display the list of files in the directory. Then chmod 755 followed by each if the filenames in the directory to set the correct permissions, The files in the directory should be 01-network-script and 02-services-script

The file is 02-services-script (with a dash not a dot)
