I'm having trouble with 6.4 on my mutant hd51
The symptom is that it can't read the feeds for installing software

I ssh to the box and get this:

root@mutant51:/tmp# opkg update
Downloading http://www.openvix.co.uk/feeds/openvix/release/6.4/hd51/3rdparty/Packages.gz.
 * opkg_download_backend: Failed to download http://www.openvix.co.uk/feeds/openvix/release/6.4/hd51/3rdparty/Packages.gz, wget returned 4.
Downloading http://www.openvix.co.uk/feeds/openvix/release/6.4/hd51/all/Packages.gz.

The url for the Packages file is correct for my hd51 and when I do a manual wget over ssh it downloads correctly so the network is obviously fine.

I need to download extra modules, in particular nfs server support as I also use the box for NAS.

When I downgrade to 6.3 all is well again so I'm staying with 6.3 for now.

Any help gratefully received and apologies if this has already been raised and answered!

TIA, Peter

6.4.008 released.

[spevs]

I have just installed a fresh 6.4.008 image on one of my boxes and restored nothing from previous images, despite several attempts I am unable to get Samba & NFS to install, I get the reboot message after it says installed but when I go back into either I get asked if I want to install them Yes/No.

Anyone having the same or any ideas why..............?

maybe same as here : https://www.world-of-satellite.com/s...ighlight=samba

Hi
Since the release of 6.4.006 the front panel display skin default on my Vu+ Duo 4kSE is just showing the openvix logo instead of the clock and progress bar. I've gone back to 6.4.004 because I prefer it, but just wondered if theres a way to get back to that original layout on 6.4.008? Thanks

I don't think so, normally when I've got samba on I connect to the box and turn on netbios, I'm reluctant to import settings as I wanted to build of a fresh install.

Please supply the debug log.

Am I doing this right, if I want a clean most up to date build do I use 6.4.008 or 6.4.001 and then apply all the updates.....?

Obviously without using previous settings.

Flash most recent version.

I recently started Samba running under OpenVix 6.3 from the Menu/Setup/Network/Utilities/Samba option with no issues.

The other day I flashed OpenVix 6.4.007 and afterwards found that Samba was stopped but it would not start from the same menu. However the following day after an overnight deep standby and restart I found that I could start Samba successfully from the same menu. I did not need to restart the box to start Samba previously, so different behaviour this time, I think.

[Valiant]

Additionally to my last post, I was not getting the prompt to restart the box when I was trying to start Samba under 6.4.007. I will flash 6.4.008 and see what happens now.


EDIT: Correction. I must be losing my marbles.

I have now flashed 6.4.008.

The odd behaviour is that after following the Samba install routine and rebooting the box when asked, Samba has not started and I am once again prompted with "Are you ready to install Samba".
