Indigo Domotics

I keep getting these error messages when I try to connect:

I don't know what I'm missing.

The permissions on a reflector key file are not correct. This can happen if you switch Macs and use Migration Assistant. Try the following:

1) Launch the Terminal application (inside /Applications/Utilities/)

2) Copy/paste the following line into Terminal. You will be prompted for your OS X admin account password, which needs to be entered so that all the steps complete successfully.

id
sudo bash

3) Copy/paste each line below *individually* and hit the return key after each one:

cd /Library/Application\ Support/Perceptive\ Automation/
cd Indigo\ 5/Preferences/PrismReflector
ls -al
chmod ugo-x *
chmod o-rwx *
chmod g-rw id_rsa
ls -al
id

4) Select all and Copy/Paste the entire contents of the Terminal window into an email or forum reply for me.

Thank you, I will try that tongiht. I thought the problem was resolved: I was able to connect at home, its just away from home that the reflector reads down.

I just had this emac repaired, and they merged the data, so you are spot on.

Ok, I think I followed your steps... haven't had too much experience in the Terminal Window.

Here it is:

I have to say this is greek to me. If there is a specific thing I need to do, let me know. I can also contact the repair guy, Im sure he speaks this as well.

Thank you!

We can figure it out (and are close), but I need the Terminal results from step #2 above. In particular, the line that is:

id

This is what I got after step 2:

mac-owners-emac:~ andrewhopkins$ id
uid=502(andrewhopkins) gid=502(andrewhopkins) groups=502(andrewhopkins),98(_lpadmin),80(admin)
mac-owners-emac:~ andrewhopkins$ sudo bash
Password:
bash-3.2#

Got it. From the Terminal do:

Code: Select all

sudo bash
cd /Library/Application\ Support/Perceptive\ Automation/
cd Indigo\ 5/Preferences/PrismReflector
chown 502:admin *

then stop and restart the Indigo Server (via the Indigo 5->Stop Local Server menu item). It should then work correctly.

That did it!!!!!

I restarted Indigo in order for it to take effect, but it worked!

What was the deal?

Thank you!!

The file owner for some of the reflector key files was incorrect. It was your old user account and not your new one.

Thanks for posting how to fix this issue. It resolved my prism reflector problem after installing Mountain Lion!

I ran through your steps and here is the result: Help?

Thanks,

Presuming you are running Indigo 5, do the steps below so I can see the results.

1) Launch the Terminal application (inside /Applications/Utilities/)

2) Copy/paste the following line into Terminal. You will be prompted for your OS X admin account password, which needs to be entered so that all the steps complete successfully.

id
sudo bash

3) Copy/paste each line below *individually* and hit the return key after each one:

id

4) Select all and Copy/Paste the entire contents of the Terminal window into an email or forum reply for me.
