Trying fresh install

[almararn]

Im trying do a fresh install of openVix 5.1.020 on my VU+Solo2 because the Transmission plugin stopped working. And the problem is that I cannot install samba or nfs it just restarts the box and doesn't run, and goes through the same loop if I try it again. I've tried opkg update before, but with no change. This is the first thing I'm doing after flashing, so the build is completely clean. Internet is working, I can download from the feeds.

Also now when trying to install Transmission from the feeds there are a few dependencies missing.
libgnutls-openssl27, libgcrypt, libgpg-error0, libevent

Would appreciate some guidance.

Yes, I saw that in your post, that's why I tried it, but for some reason its not working.

Transmission has not worked for a very long time. I'm sure it is a third party plugin, so you would have to get the author to update it.

One thread per issue is always best. Obviously easier to deal with one issue then move to another, if possible. Accepted that sometimes the root cause of multiple problems is the same.

People have different interpretations of acronyms/words. I don't know what a sour flash is, but as "fresh flash" is becoming a buzz word here, I interpret "fresh flash" to be as follows:

Flash/install an image (using USB or Imagemanager)
Do not restore settings
Do not restore plugins
Do not restore/transfer channel lists
Do not transfer any xml files (or any other file) to receiver
Do not alter defaults
Do not install any plugins
Do not install any skin
Do not install anything to receiver


It helps to identify problems if people can post debug logs or console logs of the issue they are experiencing. If I was experiencing a problem, what I would do is flash again, dare I say, "fresh flash abu-baniaz definition". Do not set tuners, Enable debug logs and use a storage device for the logs and then restart.

Then go and try to recreate the ntfs driver issue. Restart and then view/attach the log file. Use a linux comptible editor like notepad++ (not to be confused with windows notepad). If there are any errors post them.

You will see that the the command to install ntfs drivers is

opkg install enigma2-plugin-drivers-ntfs-3g

A search for "opkg" leads to this find.

If the problem is still there, and you are determined to see/prove it and mostly importantly, get it fixed for everyone else, you can "fresh flash" as defined above. Then install the driver by command line.
This will show any errors onscreen. You can post them here.

Then move on to the next problem, samba server.
The log will again show the process, you can inspect it and see any problems.

The commands used to install it samba is.

opkg install packagegroup-base-smbfs-server

I have tried the two issues, ntfs driver and samba, there were no problems. I would suggest that you "fresh flash abu-baniaz definition". Using putty, install ntfs driver and samba using the cammand lines below and see if any errors are reported. Post them here. Text instead of pictures. A guide to using Putty is in my signature.

People who flash the receiver a lot tend to list the commands to install their most used packages items instead of going through the menus. This sometimes means that they bypasss the issues that "normal users" experience. However, I have tested both methods for your two reported issues. I did not have a problem.

I attach debug logs showing the two installations. I also post the telnet output for installing the items, as a bonus I add ex-fat drivers. This does not mean there isn't a problem for you, it means I did not have it. Hopefully if you follow/recreate the advice/steps above, we can get it fixed for you too. Installing by command line would be easiest/simplest way to check as I have done the other checks for you.

Hi, and thanks you for your help.
We have the same interpretation of a fresh flash. I've tried using putty to install samba and got the error message that I was looking for. I'll attach the putty log.

I'm guessing that this is then a Vu+Solo2 issue?

I can add to this, that I was able to install Samba in the end. By manually installing samba-base and all its dependencies. I used your puttylog file as guide to all the ipk's. After that I could run the "opkg install packagegroup-base-smbfs-server" successfully.
