Bringing up the console Random notes

  1. Boxee Box uses RedBoot console to boot up run_boxee and Boxee - to get into RedBoot attach a USB keyboard and hit Ctrl-C within the 2-second window (this is how it should work, however, I've had no luck)
  2. If Boxee is running, simply telnet into Boxee Box by ip address and port 9090 - this will bring you to a "connected" screen showing the connection and what the escape character is, upon invoking the escape character this brings you to the 'telnet>' command prompt which uses standard telnet commands:

telnet> status

  • Connected to 'ipaddress'
  • Operating in obsolete linemode
  • Local character echo
  • Escape character is 'escapecharacter'.

telnet> display

  • will flush output when sending interrupt characters.

  • won't send interrupt characters in urgent mode.

  • will send login name and/or authentication information.

  • won't skip reading of ~/.telnetrc file.

  • won't map carriage return on output.

  • will recognize certain control characters.

  • won't turn on socket level debugging.

  • won't print hexadecimal representation of network traffic.

  • won't print user readable output for "netdata".

  • won't show option processing.

  • won't print hexadecimal representation of terminal traffic.

  • echo [^E]

  • escape [^]]

  • rlogin [off]

  • tracefile "(standard output)"

  • flushoutput [^O]

  • interrupt [^C]

  • quit [^]

  • eof [^D]

  • erase [^?]

  • kill [^U]

  • lnext [^V]

  • susp [^Z]

  • reprint [^R]

  • worderase [^W]

  • start [^Q]

  • stop [^S]

  • forw1 [off]

  • forw2 [off]

  • ayt [^T]

  1. Once in telnet you should kill run_boxee and Boxee in that order to bring up the live console, where we can make changes such as disabling running Boxee at bootup, which I was unable to accomplish

  2. When Boxee is compiled for "Canmore" this is what is enabled/disabled: ./configure $DEBUG_OPTIONS --host=i686-cm-linux --disable-dvd-drive --disable-mysqlclient --disable-fontconfig --disable-vdpau --disable-ss-rsxs --disable-vis-projectm --enable-external-python --enable-boxee-hal --disable-avahi
