I have seen this before; but not on a consistent basis.

Try restarting your TiVo (from the remote) and that may solve the problem. If it doesn't, then go into TiVoWeb, and "quit" TiVoWeb using the menus.

Then telnet to your unit, and type the following:

Code:
rootwrite cd /ptvupgrade/tivowebplus ./tivoweb console

And you can watch the messages again and it should start up cleanly...

I, too, lost my hackman. But, I got a preconfigured drive, ran ciphercheck.tcl (not sure if ran correctly), and *poof* ... Hackman doesn't show in the menu any more. It worked fine up until I ran ciphercheck.tcl. It appears to load correctly when using telnet (per instructions in this thread). I can still get to it (by typing into url). I have tried several reboots of the TiVo unit, as well as reloading of TivoWebPlus, but nada.

Please keep in mind that I am very new to Linux & TiVo hacking. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


My setup:
- Phillips DSR-7000
- OS version 6.2-1-2-101
- Kernel: 2.4.20

I also am having a similar problem. Hackman no longer shows on my TivoWeb Menu but I can get to it by simply adding /hackman to the URL. Although, I attempt to activate for instance the on-screen clock and get a page that simply contains the below:

INTERNAL SERVER ERROR

Any ideas on what is wrong?
