Messed up my enigma2.sh

[DannyFS]

Chaps,

In the process of installing this wonderful e2_loadepg thing, I've managed to mess up my enigma2.sh

At least, that's what I think I must have done.

I edited it with wordpad which seemingly is a daft thing to do. However, I've got myself notepad++ and edited it and saved it with that but it still seems to be screwed.

It hangs on boot. I can telnet and ftp into it and even get it to boot by manually running enigma via telnet. But when I leave it to boot on it's own it doesn't happen.

Being a bit of a Linux "noidea" person, anyone suggest what I can do?
Is it possible I can get someone else's enigma2.sh which will make it work on it's own or is there some easier way of fixing this with notepad++
?

Cheers, in advance

Just re-editing with notepad++ will not be enough to remove any dodgy characters left by wordpad, You'd have to manually remove them,

I'm not sure exactly what enigma2.sh contains/does but if somebody uploaded a copy of the file from the same image you are using, it should get you booting again. You might need to do some tweaking in your settings to get back to normal, I'm not sure.

Unfortunately I cant upload a copy to help you as I'm running an E1 image,

Why not upload your current enigma2.sh file so we can have a look at it.

Always make backups before editing files like this

If you use UltraEdit32 to edit a file it makes a backup of the original file.

I would very much appreciate it...



Edit:
I need to add the following line to it which I've already tried to remove..
[ -f /media/hdd/ext.epg.dat ] && mv /media/hdd/ext.epg.dat /media/hdd/gemini.epg.dat

Chaps,

Managed to resolve this.
I basically opened it up in Notepad++
Converted to UNIX
Saved as sh.
FTPd it back and it worked.

Thanks for your advice on backing up things like this. TBH, I didn't realise I could cock it up in quite the way I did. Lessons learned eh?

Anyway, I'm a happy bunny with a big full s*y EPG..

How long does it take to download full sky epg for 7 days ? I never tried it with a dreambox - because you can get epg.dat only for the bouquet channels. Not much point downloading the lot.
