Hi all
I have been using openpli just to try it out and see if it kept crashing and the results was less crashing HOWEVER i am back on vix as i missed many of its features but my question is, is there a lite build without all the features and if not where can i find packet manager plugin?

So you say your STB with ViX is crashing (often)?
So we'd better have a look at that then? Please create threads for issues you have (and don't forget to post crashlogs and tell how to reproduce).

Best thing to do is create a post as and when the receiver encounters a issue along with a brief writeup of what happened prior to that crash along with the log for reference.

Hi,
you have a DUO and it seems you use CrossEPG. I think for this combination it is advisable to use a swap file because memory in DUO is not so big.

A duo is one of the only receivers i would recommend a swap file for due to it's well documented memory issues and low ram.

HDD as that is a faster device then any USB-stick.

Yes, do in telnet

dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/usb2/swapfile bs=1048576 count=256; mkswap /media/usb2/swapfile; echo --- Done! Now activate SWAP!
(replace the 'usb2' by the actual mount you want to use). The use the swapmanager to activate the swap file. I'm not sure if a reboot is required.

Also, are you reinstalling Crossepg and webif or using the ones in the image?

Ok i have followed your instructions and it creates the swapfile on the hdd but it will not let me activate it.

Ok Swapfile is not auto starting i have to turn it on by telnet ode:
swapon /media/hdd/swapfile, any suggestions please?

Mine did the same. I FTP'd the fstab file from /etc and added this to the end


/media/usb/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0

put the file back, rebooted, and the swap auto starts. I guess I don't know what I'm doing using telnet ...........

I've edited the link I posted so that it leads to first post of the thread.
Did you make changes the fstab file (as also posted by Darp)? Either by Telnet or FTP and editing.

If you transfer this file to the receiver, the swap manager should work. Or wait until it is part of image.

In build 753 (online available) the swapmanager if fully functional again.

I also had a problem with not autostarting. I tried the line above but it did not work for me.

A difference with me is that I created my swapfile on the HDD (and Obviously I changed the "usb" to "hdd" in all the commands), I might try to set up a swap file on the USB and try again.

EDIT: just saw the post above - it will be easier to load the latest OpenViX 753 and set up a swapfile from scratch.

That's good to know, but say I'd manually crested a swap, would this fix cause a boot loop?

I already had a swap file and can confirm it is now working without the need to create another file just go in to setup~vix~swap file then press green to activate and yellow to autostart. not sure about boot loop issue though at a guess if it is looping try delete the swap file through ftp and create it through vix image.
