the GUI seems to stay closed when you have an app running in the background. Or, if you keep closing the GUI, it will eventually stay closed. It’s the ‘watchdog’ in action, restarting the GUI when it thinks it’s failing. You will of course need to do the mousepointer hacks so you can see what your doing, etc.

How did you quit the GUI and get to sys prefs? I’ve tried using the ATVLoader ‘quit’ option but all I get it the apple screen and then the GUI restarts.

I haven’t tried much else on my ATV for a while. I installed the Channl.Tv plugin, but they still aren’t active yet, so it does nothing. boo. I’m sure we’ll see more plugins and apps emerge over time

$ su

then create the patchstick

try:

diskutil list

or:

which should list the drives mounted on the machine

It’s possibly /dev/disk1S0. check to see which listed device closely matches the capactiy of the USB stick…

hiya,

I’m stuck trying to create a patchstick.

In Terminal its asking me…

Please specify the disk to re-partition as argument one:
./createpatchstick /dev/diskX

what exact command do I need to select the disk?

cheers
