Re-Flashed with 744 and used restore, all working again...

[scouse645]

were do i find restore? must be a daft question then?

[Stanman]

You don't find restore, you will have it if using VIX either you or an online update made a settings backup. Normally HDD or USB.

[viper626]

reflash and on reboot it will give you the option to restore settings...

[scouse645]

Thanks, i did follow the option to restore, but it is stuck on booting99, what now?

Ok downloaded openvix-3.0.744-vusolo2_usb.zip and just about to install again for the 4th time. It would appear that it offers and update and after installing that update the "blue screen" locks out so this time I'm not doing update. I have a new hard drive fitted so as out of the box state. Fingers crossed.

[scouse645]

It was all going so well until the 745 update, bugger.

[Prioryman]

Now openvix-3.0.744-vusolo2_usb.zip seams fine ( but have not installed any addons ) but basic image. Now just about to allow the software to update as it is asking............. As I live 3 storeys up I'm not sure the Solo2 will survive the fall if it locks up again....................

If you were using the skin Magic-HD: that has a bug in build 746, causing a bootloop.
Fixed in 747, will be build right now.

[Prioryman]

Well, using standard skin was about to change to Magic-HD. So far perfect, but right now asking again to update image to 747, eveing though it is not showing any changes........ here we go!!!!!!

Update:

Now on build 747 and all working. Reboot time is better ( wonder if there is any way to remove the boot33, 99 etc whlist it booting up from the screen ) in the coding as not sure why anyone wants to see that.

A few problems: If the hard drive is in fat32 format a swap file can be created of 256mb (I know the solo2 is fast, but may as well use it ) but no time shift can be done without converting to ext3 or 4. When this has been converted then there is no way to make a swap file on that hard drive. I have no crash logs to show this as it has not crashed yet.

Perhaps Andy can look at this as seams strange.

my box is now up to date after a reflash, all was fine before, i am unable to set it up as i am not yet competent enough to do it

All you will be doing by activating a swap file on the solo2 is purposely slowing the receiver down essentially handicapping it.

Also if you keep the HDD in the FAT32 format you will end up with probelms when your recordings go over 4GB in size as fat32 cant handle files larger than 4GB.

Well I have used the "tut"

http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...ting+swap+file

and have to say that the box is rocking. The boot time is very fast the screen flies through the boot 3060 90 etc and the remote is as fast as the old VU Duo ( found that it was sluggish ). Now I know that because I have a fresh install it would be fast, but I can see the difference. The hard drive is ext 4 and the USB stick used for swap file is the same. I understand what your saying, but it works and I'm not sure why.
