If you installed atftpd from the Ubuntu repositories, it is setup to use inetd, rather than running stand-alone as a daemon, as the start command you quoted would do. To examine how/if atftpd is set to start on your machine, run: fgrep tftpd /etc/inetd.conf which should print something like: tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot 16869 dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot though it'll look a bit different for atftp (the above is using the 'tftpd' package (BSD port) on Ubuntu, which I recommend instead of atftpd). I'd also recommend skipping xinetd, as its just an added, unnecessary complication. Unless you've followed one of the setup guides to completion, you won't have the second line, which sets up a TFTP service listening on port 16869. This is needed for version H and newer MVP hardware. I'd also recommend looking at the latter part of the command line, which should identify the location that your TFTP service will serve files from. In this case it is /var/lib/tftpboot. The normal default is usually something less sensible, like /tftpboot. >> I'd recommend verifying that you can download the mvpmc software with >> a tftp client running on another system before trying to get it >> working on the MVP itself. > > Sounds like a good idea but I am not sure how to do this. Get a directory listing of the directory you identified above that your TFTP daemon is serving files from. Make sure that it contains your dongle.bin file, that the file is readable by everyone, and that everyone can read and search (execute bit) the directory. On another machine, such as a Windows box, at the command line enter: % tftp mythtv GET dongle.bin Transfer successful: 3653074 bytes in 16 seconds, 228317 bytes/s replace "mythtv" with the hone name or IP address of your machine running the TFTP service. Verify that the size of the file matches the file on your server. If this gives you an error, and the cause isn't obvious, examine the logs. Try: % tail /var/log/daemon.log [...] Mar 3 17:59:18 mythtv in.tftpd[683]: connect from 192.168.0.200 (192.168.0.200) Mar 3 17:59:18 mythtv tftpd[684]: tftpd: trying to get file: dongle.bin Mar 3 17:59:18 mythtv tftpd[684]: tftpd: serving file from /var/lib/tftpboot > I am new at this mailing list type forum. > Should I just reply to this email or go on line?
