joe editor issues
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: jpc165

I have installed a number of hacks into my tivo with success (tivoweb, tivoftpd, turbonet). But I am unable to get the joe editor to work. Keep in mind this is my first experience with Linux. These are the steps I took.

1. Ftp'd joe.tar.gz (from Steve Jenkins files) in binary format via WSftp
2. I then telneted (from windows XP dos promt). Then used the following commands.
3. cd /var/hack
4. gzip –d joe.tar.gz
5. cpio -idu -H tar < joe.tar
6. chmod 755 joe
7. ./joe testfile

I got these commands from steve's tivo network hack how to guide.
But I keep getting the error.

"cannot open /var/hack/joeerc"

'joeerc' is a ascii file that I was able to ftp over to my PC and read.

What am I doing wrong here?

I had a similar problem when I installed joe yesterday.

I put it in /var/hack/bin instead of /var/hack. Anytime I tried to run it, I got the message "cannot open /var/hack/joeerc". I thought this was strange, since joe and joeerc were both in /var/hack/bin, not /var/hack.

I still don't know what the problem was, but to solve it I just copied joeerc to /var/hack and all is good.

You might try 'chmod 755 /var/hack/joerc' (assuming it's properly located). This sets read permission (among others) on the file.

Try reuploading the joerc file in binary mode (or if you did that, try uploading in ascii).

I got it to work. Thanks for all your suggestions. My problem seemed to be that I installed the file in /var/hacks instead of /var/hack. When I tried to run out of /var/hacks, i got the error "could not find /var/hack/joerc". I guess in the joe file it defaults to look for the joerc file in /var/hack. I just placed the files in /var/hack and all is now well. :-)
