Quad hangs (Spinning VIX), no crash, Debug created (what does it mean?)

[BubbleBalls]

Hi,

Just to update.

I fresh flashed to 14 three nights ago. I set it up with CrossEPG scheduled and FTA channels only. I did not FTP old timers/autotimers and did not FTP my personalised skin (night HD). I left it for 24 hrs and there were no hang ups and no crash/debug logs. Last night I installed Cam and set up NFS and asked my wife to keep an eye out for spinning VIX. Though she watched very little TV she said there were no hang ups today. There are no crash logs and the debug logs are timed to the Cam install and the NFS setup - Is it normal for debug logs to be created in these instances?

I plan on introducing the remainder of the plug ins one by one to see how they act and leave my personalise skin file last. Previous fresh flashes lasted a max of three days before the hang ups started - and today is day three so fingers crossed.

Anything else you think I should be doing, taking things slowly as I am?

Debug log if enabled is a live log, capturing every button press & STB reaction. So extremely handy in tracking down any issues.

Hi,

So everything was running great tonight so next on my list was Samba. Installed and within an hour box locked up. World Cup was on and picture/sound continued - just box was totally unresponsive for 18 minutes.

In the debug files there are several blocks of 165 lines of "TuxTxt <Biterror in p28>"

There are 14955 line entries of "creating ap&sc files:" which start at 0% and finish at 100%

[eDVBLocalTimerHandler] set Linux Time
broken startcode

[eDVBLocalTimerHandler] set Linux Time

I do not understand the above entries but they form a huge part of the debug logs. As there are personal info in the logs I do want to post them here. Can the above be a result of installing Samba? Has Samba ever been a cause of lock ups?

EDIT - debug log was titled 01.01.1970 again

Thanks again for your time.

remove samba see if still does it?

[BubbleBalls]

Should I wait and see if there are more lockups and keep the logs just to rule out the chance there was a coincidence, unlikely as it seems.

If it is Samba I wonder if there is an explanation on why it would work on one of my Quads and not the other!

Wife told me that box froze yesterday so Samba may not be the cause.

I was watching an MKV contained movie and the box just froze. I pressed down on the directional control (which usually brings the movie/recordings list) but I find this screen

All/Any button press did nothing to the box - it was stuck at that image. It only moved from a full screenshot of the movie (frozen/unplayable) to the attached screenshot. Nothing else worked - Pressing Stop done nothing but about 10/15 minutes later the box became alive again.

This seems crazy. The box locked up but kept all commands issued via remote - it took an age for the box to become functional (which should have been almost immediately) and the box then followed all of the Remote Control Commands I pressed while it was frozen, albeit 10/15 minutes after the actual button presses.

I go to get the debug logs and there are none, bar previously created ones. Really confused here.

Sounds like you're stuck in some flakey plugin list.

[BubbleBalls]

Yes, but why the Autobouquet when it should be movie list? Is there anything I can do to pinpoint the cause?

What plugins have you installed? something overwriting default behaviour?
A debug log of button presses might help.

Cheers judge,

Looks like I have reached the limit on debug log size (as no new logs have been created) - will increase debug log size (is this correct?)

New debug logs will be created as & when needed.
Where are you saving them to? maybe looking in the wrong location?

home/root/logs

it seems that initial logs are recorded as "Enigma2-01-01-1970_01-00-XX.log

01.01.1970 is OK? why that date format?

[judge]

Date format is fine, you'll notice a different format between a full reboot & an E2 restart.

That's when unix time started. Everything in linux (time- wise) is relative to that date. The log files in E2 don't seem to have realtime markers - don't know why, but I presume it's to do with the way the clocks work in set top boxes. I'm used to seeing log entries with date and timestamps in PC versions of linux myself.

This morning the channel changed twice (edit - three times now) without my input. It then showed that tuner C was recording (or in use) but I have no planned recordings at the time. it's like some one else is controlling the box. Here is netstat data........I do not know if this data contains anything personnal but if it does please delete, or let me know and allow me to delete?

With any fresh flash I change the password (passwd) and my router login is personalised. Bizarre stuff.
