Looking for a Plugin Install Walkthrough
Hello,
Is anyone aware of a walk-through I can find to copy files to the home\xbian folder? I want to manually install a plug-in. I am very new at this and I know absolutely nothing about Linux or Linux commands, which is causing the issue. I've tried 3 different apps on my Windows PC that let me see the the partition and files, but it was read-only. also tried booting from a live Ubuntu disc. I was able to see the partition and home\xbian folder, put was denied access. I just want to install and watch the Hulu+ plug |

The depth of the installation instruction literally goes not further then: “Download the meta-repository addon and install it using “System > Addons > Install a ZIP file“. This will install a repository containing our subrepositories enabling you to easily select specific categories you are interested in.“ The issue I'm having is the fact that I cannot find detailed documentation that specifically explains how to get your .zip files in the home directory, so you can actually install them. All sources of information I've found assumes you know how to do it and provides no details. It certainly isn't copy and paste, so what it is it? I have tried multiple methods and everything I've used to "see" my home folder, to copy .zip files to, only gives me read only access. I've tried: Ext2Fsd DiskInternals Linux Reader Ext2explore Ubuntu Live CD WinSCP I'm surprised at how non-user friendly this experience has been. |

Re: Looking for a Plugin Install Walkthrough
you can try WinSCP and copy your file into /boot
That is FAT partition on the card so you should be able to even see it under Win an copy files into ~~~~>>>Please always follow rules and read before you post<<<~~~~ |

Also, WinSCP is one of the apps I've tried. For whatever reason, I can see the partition, but I cannot write to it. When I try to drag a .zip to it, I get the "circle with a slash" symbol, which shows that access isn't allowed. A friend at work told me to verify that the FTP daemon was enabled. So I'll look in to that when I get home. |
