View Full Version : [VU+ Duo] Seeing VU+ Duo on home computer network
I'm running the latest Vix.
On a previous version a few months back I could see my Vu+ Duo on the computer network and easily transfer files back and forth.
No more though. Is there a simple setting I should have in place?
I'm running Windows 7.
Go into the network section on the image and install NFC and maybe samba too.

It was samba not being installed that caused the problem for me.
Thanks lads. That sounds familiar. I'll have a look when I can get the mother-in-law away from the telly.
I might be some time :rolleyes:
I had this as well after weeks trying gave up put black hole in perfect
old vix images could see the vu on network

Samba was removed from the base image over 18 months ago, due to its size and use of system resources, you can add it back in by simply clicking on the samba header in the network section of the image.

Good to know. will turn this on on mine too.
Whats the advantage of seeing this on your network?
None in my opinion, then again I use a dedicated FTP client to connect to my receivers so don't need this feature.

I removed my question as I noticed that he believed it was easier to transfer files to and from the box.
I like you use FTP. :)
No need to remove questions, they help others. What works for me may not work for someone else. That's one of the good things about these receivers, they are infinitely customisable.

Samba worked. Thanks everyone.

Hi phoenix'
sorry to go slightly off topic, but does having samba activated slow solo2 down. Wondering if it may be causing my reboot speed to be slow. I will turn it off and post results
Not that I can remember but it does add a good 30 to 40 my to the image, it won't hurt to try your suggestion though and disable samba for a while.

tried it but didn't help. A full 9mins to reboot. Slower than my old Alien 2 (lol)
Such a slow reboot time could be a symptom of the infamous red L.E.D of death due to failing capacitors like.

But that should not be the case with a Solo2 my old one used to boot up in about 45 seconds

Something seriously wrong with it so.
When did you last reflash to a current image with no settings or plugins restored?

Correct, I assumed it was a Duo due to the title of the thread, I should have read his reply closer. still something very wrong for a solo2 to take ten minutes to boot. We would ideally need to see a bootlog to see whats going on there.

Hi Judge can't remember exact No but it was the last image where we were advised not to restore. Possibly when the HD was integrated into the ordinary images

Hi Phoenix
how would I be able to post a bootlog
thanks
setting up mine with latest image from scratch and no backups as i was on older image:D

Try flashing again using build 112, currently available on http://www.openvix.co.uk/
Dont do any restores, is it still slow to boot then?

Hi
done a complete fresh installation without any restore and that has solved problem. any thanks for help
pheonix was spot on
Go into the network section on the image and install NFC and maybe samba too.
just reloaded VIX, after a year and now see uno in network
Samba worked. Thanks everyone.
Where does one setup the network NAME of the box?
EDIT - figured it out - Under Network Hostname.

A different issue, so worth a different thread.
But: this can easily be the case if Linux is checking the file system of an internal HDD. A bootlog (RS232) can tell you more.

For using Windows Explorer only Samba is required.
NFS is the Linux native system.
Long boots like that can sometimes be attributed to a mounted drive not being available.....

That indeed slows down booting but not for 9 minutes. A diskcheck however can easily take even longer.

Has been ok since I did a clean install. Maybe I had put something on in wrong place or something.

Not exactly correct.. NFS is a network filesystem (hence it's name), which OS like Linux use...

Hence why it's native to Linux. :confused:
No, it's not native to Linux, it's supported by Linux.. You can also install NFS support on windows if you want.. And on most Linux distributions NFS is not supported without installing some extra packages.. So no, it's not native.. :-)

As we're getting pedantic now...
It is a native Linux/Unix protocol as opposed to Samba which uses the SMB protocol developed by Microsoft. The Apple OS has good support for NFS. Windows 7 has some support for NFS.

I don't agree with the words native Linux but yes, we are getting pedantic.. :-)
