How to load existing WBFS drive?

Is your user in "disk" group?

$ id

you should see "6(disk)", if not add it with:

$ sudo gpasswd -a <your-user> disk

then logout and login and retry.

Yes, the user is in the "disk" group. I logged out and logged back in, and still have the same problem.

Try:

wiithon -p /dev/sdf -l

Having the Same Problem as jachall
Tried launching with $ wiithon -p /dev/sdf -l
Got this message
No partition found: /dev/sdf
Is your hard disk connected and does it have a valid WBFS partition?

The Device itself is a new WD Passport Elite HD, formatted in Windows with WBFS Manager
(marked primary & active within Windows Disk Management)

I also have a second partition (Fat32? or NTFS can't remember) but this is picked up within Linux File Management
(Obviously the WBFS partition is not visible in file manager)

I am still getting the same problem. I ran:

/usr/share/wiithon/wiithon.py -p /dev/sdf -l

and I get the error:

No partition found: /dev/sdf
Is your hard disk connected and does it have a valid WBFS partition?

Just for the record I am also running WBFS-Manager and it sees the partition OK. But I like the features of Wiithon if we can get it working. Thanks!

Try with sudo. (root)

For avoid use the root type:

sudo gpasswd -a $USER disk
and reboot GNOME/KDE

Same problem here.

Output of auto_detectar.sh

/dev/sdd1;@;wbfs;@;;@;SAMSUNG SP1604N;@;

I ran:
./wiithon .p /dev/sdd -l
and I get the error:

No partition found: /dev/sdd
Is your hard disk connected and does it have a valid WBFS partition?

If I ran
./wiithon .p /dev/sdd1 -l
and I get the error:

No partition found: /dev/sdd1
Is your hard disk connected and does it have a valid WBFS partition?

Try:

1, dont use ".". ./wiithon.... Install wiithon and use: "wiithon"
2. Parameter is "-p", not ".p"
3. Your partition wbfs work in Wii ?

Hi Ricardo:

wiithon is insalled, but for running I need ./

Ok, Parameter is -p, error to write here, but I use -p in the test

Yes, my partition is working in WII

Same problem.

Arch linux, was working on older trunk ver.

I'm in disk group, wbfs is working in wii, and WBFS manager (xp on VBox) is working ok with this partition.

Tried after bug 526580 commited and fixed.

Any solution?

Please run these commands (using your correct partition) and post the output:

id
ls -l /dev/hdb1
/usr/games/wiithon_wrapper -p /dev/hdb1 df
/usr/games/wiithon_wbfs_file /dev/hdb1 df
/usr/games/wiithon_wwt df

Here is the output of those commands:

id:
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)

ls -l /dev/sdf1:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 81 2010-05-22 14:36 /dev/sdf1

/usr/games/wiithon_wrapper -p /dev/sdf1 df:
103.609375;@;129.265625;@;232.875000

The files "/usr/games/wiithon_wbfs_file" and "/usr/games/wiithon_wwt" do not exist on my system, so I cannot run them.

Please advise if you have further ideas. Thank you for your help!

Perdón por las repeticiones (no tengo parkinson eh?)

Exact same issue here, from prepping the drive using WBFS Manager in Windows, to the complete lack of partition recognition by Wiithon.
Here is my console output after exec'ing various suggested commands:

nick@nick-boxee ~ $ ls -l /dev/sdf
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 80 2010-11-19 23:50 /dev/sdf
nick@nick-boxee ~ $ /usr/games/wiithon_wrapper -p /dev/sdf df

Is your hard disk connected and does it have a valid WBFS partition?

lol, i'm an idiot. The drive was still plugged into the Wii!!!!!

Wiithon works fine, adding a game now. Thanks for the app, and sorry for my brain-fart.
