A question installing TTS Clock.. - 30/11/2002 00:49

Ok, I followed the instructions on the tts clock web site and ftp'd the files to the empeg. Now what do I have to do to get it running? I tried this..

http://empeg.comms.net/php/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=hackers_prog&Number=126274&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=0&fpart=

that didn't work.. Any ideas? Thanks!

In what way did it not work?

Did you get error messages when invoking those commands? Or did they seem to go OK and you just don't get it running? Is preinit installed previously?

The TTS files installed for me however, I saw a number of fail messages during the transfer. Seems that the preinit.d folder cannot be created in the /etc folder without the proper permissions applied (I am using a WinXP box)...therefore the TTS file transfer fails. You would seem to think that all was well however because all of the .pcm files transfer ok and that is the last thing that you see happen in the transfer...It happens so fast while using FTP so you may not see the errors show up in your command line screen.

I fixed this problem by installing the Empeg developer image of the player software (DomoKun's suggestion), then reinstalling the latest Hijack kernal. Once I had the developer image in place, Preinit and the TTS clock both installed without problem and they work just great now

That worked great. Thanks a lot! Now the only thing is that the time is like a couple of hours fast, but I know I read somewhere how to fix that. Thanks again...

I went with DomoKun's recommendation with that problem too...set the Empeg clock time zone to UTC and then adust your local time accordingly...it works well for me and it's the first time my Empeg has kept good time (it used to keep switching time zones on me - not anymore....)
