How-To: Enable Gaya logging to a file

[Delphy]

Hi All,

I've seen quite a few people wondering whats going on behind the scenes with gaya - the main process that runs the Popcorn Hour.

Did you know, though, that you can see whats going on? Here's how:

1. First you must have dropbear/telnetd installed on your PCH and connected via telnet
2. Kill the gaya process (killall gaya). The TV will go black. Don't worry, it'll come back up.
3. Run this command (This must be typed exactly, including the trailing &):

Code:

gaya >/share/tmp/gaya.log 2>&1 &

Note this assumes you have a hard drive and the /share/tmp folder exists but you may send the output anywhere.

To view the log just run:

Code:

tail -200 /share/tmp/gaya.log

You'll see something like this:

Code:
