Re: Prism reflector won't connect

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.

Re: Prism reflector won't connect

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.

Re: Prism reflector won't connect

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

Here it is:


Password:
bash-3.2#
bash-3.2# cd /Library/Application\ Support/Perceptive\ Automation/
bash-3.2# cd Indigo\ 5/Preferences/PrismReflector
bash-3.2# ls -al
total 24
drwx------ 5 andrewhopkins andrewhopkins 170 Mar 6 19:12 .

bash-3.2#


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!

Re: Prism reflector won't connect

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

Re: Prism reflector won't connect

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.

Re: Prism reflector won't connect

That did it!!!!!

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

What was the deal?

Thank you!!

Re: Prism reflector won't connect

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

Re: Prism reflector won't connect

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:

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.
