Hello,
I think I've made a mistake. I've installed boxee with the patchstick but I didn't desactivate the screensaver before...And now my menu is totally frozen.
What should I do ? I can still access to the Apple TV by SSH...can I do something with the terminal ?
Thank you for the help...

sudo reboot
Pulling the plug works as well ;)

Thanks but I've tried these to ways to restart it but every times I've the same problem. I can see that the little LED twinkle when I push on the remote controler but nothing moves on my TV screen.
And when I do a sudo reboot with the terminal it doesn't erase XBMC and Boxee...

reboots don't erase anything ;)
ssh in and check that boxeeservice is not running, if it is kill it and remove the plist in ~/Library/LaunchAgents

OK I'll try to do that...
But I'm not really familiar with the terminal. Do you know if I can use Fugu to do that ?
Thank you

No, it's time to learn ssh ;)

Hello,
So I type : scp frontrow@appletv.local:/Library/LaunchAgents
Then it tells :
usage: scp [-1246BCEpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
[-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
[[user@]host1:]file1 ... [[user@]host2:]file2
Then what do I type in ?

scp is used to copy remote files, "/Library/LaunchAgents" is a directory, why are you trying to copy the directory "/Library/LaunchAgents"? To do this with scp you need to include the "-r" switch. But that still does not answer the question of why are you using the remote file copy command when what you want to do is to ssh into your AppleTV.
Don't just copy/paste things that you don't understand. It's a good way to totally trash a system. If you don't understand a command, then google for it. Google is my friend and I always go to it first when I need a reference to what a command is doing.
