Inappropriate ioctl for device erorrs

[Scott Newman]

Hello,

I'm trying to run fowsr on a TonidoPlug Linux machine running Ubuntu
10.04.

When I run, I get the errors below. Any help would be greatly
appreciated, I'm very excited to get this working!

Hi,

A couple of things to look out for:

- fowsr uses the libusb library, check that it is present.
- check that the /var directory is present and writable, this is where
the log files are generated.

I'have the same problem and is a week that i can't solve it.

I have libusb but when i tipe "cd /var" i get "/tmp#" is this the problem?

i'm running fowsr 1.0-20110904-1  on OpenWRT, all usb driver are all well installed....

The files wunderground.sh and fowsr.sh (and others) contained "^M" char on each end of line that i remove but it still doesn't work giving me this result:

root@OpenWrt:/# fowsr -w

If i type "vi /var/wunderground.sh" i get an empty file.
