Hacking Cojiro's WBFS GUI Wrapper v0.2!

[cojiro]

requires
wbfs executable to be in your /bin folder on linux, whatever the same thing is with mac, I do not know
same with xterm
If you do not have the requirement, you will not be able to execute the commands!

to run, run program as root
(sudo /path/to/executable)

when program is open, just put in the drive name in the top. press initialize. xterm will tell you "Done"
then click browse, find your .iso and then click add, watch the xterm for progress. you can press delete instead of add if you want to remove the .iso from your disk. also you can press list or free space to find stats about disk.

have fun and dont break anything!

Opened the App, put in /dev/disk1s1 as my disk (its what works in terminal), click on List installed titles.....and nothing? tried all functions of GUI....and nothing?
Am I doing anything wrong?

It should go in /usr/bin. Not /bin.

/bin - Essential command binaries that need to be available in single user mode; for all users, e.g., cat, ls, cp.

Wikipedia/usr/bin - Non-essential command binaries (not needed in single user mode); for all users.

ok, that you for the help.

feidhlim1986: how about if you type in "xterm -e -hold ping google.com"

CODE

xterm: Can't execvp -hold: No such file or directory
bash-3.2$

xterm -e ping google.com works alright.

 

[mrplowdan]

xterm -e -hold ping google.com
xterm: Can't execvp -hold: No such file or directory

xterm -hold -e ping google.com
works

[cojiro]

this is odd, because here is example code of what I did

 dim s As shell
ÂÂs = new shell
ÂÂs.execute "xterm -hold -e wbfs -p "+EditField1.Text+" add "+EditField2.Text

so it should work, by just executing what is shown

 

[cojiro]

maybe tomorrow I will try something using macosx terminal instead of xterm like this

dim s as new shell
s.Execute"open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app wbfs -p "+EditField1.Text+" add "+EditField2.Text

is anyone else used REALbasic before like this?

you can find it by typing into terminal
sudo fdisk -l
post the output here

thats my new version. It works better.

I ran sudo fdisk -l and was able to find my external harddrive (it was /dev/sdb2). Buuut I'm having another issue (of course). When I click "initialize" the app goes grey, as they do when they get busy. I waited for a really long time and it stayed grey. Eventually I had to force quit. I tried a couple more times and the same thing kept happening, the app would get busy and never recover.

do you have the program "xterm" installed
try in terminal writing
"sudo aptitude install xterm"
