Installing latest firmware

[Dell_XPS]

Cant seem to install any ipk files, transferred across to tmp in root, not showing in the ipk installer ?

[Larry-G]

what plugins ?

[Dell_XPS]

CCcam.ipk to get my sly card clearing :(

[Dell_XPS]

Tried a few different ipk files, none are showing in the ipk installer menu m8.

[Mr. Mister]

silly question guys..

Are you sure its a Vix ipk your trying to install.. ??

[Larry-G]

sorry mate had to get some kip. just got in from a shoot and had a blinding headache.

i'm not sure why you cant see the .ipk as all mine work fine.

[Larry-G]

added a screenshot to show its working for me.

[Dell_XPS]

Yes its the same ipk file Ive been using
for over a year m8, I'll re flash it tomorrow,
see how it goes, cheers.

[Dell_XPS]

Did a factory reset, then re-installed the latest firmware again, installed AFP & Samba, copied over the ipk file, shows up in the directory as per all other times, now on the Ultimo in installer it shows nothing :-(, reverted back to 2.4 just now.
BTW I'm using an Imac-running Mountain Lion to transfer files back and forth :-)

[Larry-G]

should not really make a difference what os you use, andy him self is a mac user.

[Dell_XPS]

I'll wait until the next beta build comes out and try it again, back on 2.4 for now :-)

Same here.

put it into /var/volatile/tmp

[Dell_XPS]

Ok m8, will give it another go when I get in from
work, cheers !

[Dell_XPS]

Cheers m8 that worked :-), why does it not work in root/tmp anymore ?

[Maxwell]

Cheers m8 that worked :-), why does it not work in root/tmp anymore ?

My guess would be that whatever you used to transfer it across has problems dealing with symbolic links, I have found this with certain version of filezilla.
The /tmp is actually a symbolic link to /var/volatile/tmp

[Dell_XPS]

Ok cheers for that, I'll remember that next time, :-)
