Hi

I have installed a PLI image for the first time after years of using GP ones. Must say, I am very pleased, only problem is that I don't have enough space in the VAR to install 2 cams, for instance CCCam and mgcamd.

I tried to delete some stuff, but still nt enough.

Is there a way to remove the skins for instance? I tried but it won't let me do it.

Thanks, TG

Welcome on this forum.

The DM5620 has a very very limited /var space. So, all extras you see like the skins and CCcam are not in /var but in the image itself. They don't take any /var space. That's why we already included them in the image.

If you want to be sure, just check the /var directory. I don't have a DM5620 here, but I expect there's nothing to delete. Just type "ls -rl /var" (that's an "L") in telnet and post the output here, so I can check if there's anything to be removed.

I think it should be "ls -Rl" (so, uppercase R, my fault).

Anyway, I already see file which belong to Gemini: /var/script. There may be more Gemini stuff left over. The best solution would be to do a flash erase in Dreamup before you flash your box again. That will erase all files in /var.

I think the "restore factory settings" in the system menu would be sufficient too, if you don't want to flash again.

[t_g]

OK I done as you suggested and have a fresh image on the box. Is this "clean" now?

Hmm sorry, I still can't see if there are files which could be removed. I'm afraid the "ls -lR" still doesn't work, but it doesn't matter. If you really did a clean flash (including "clear flash" in DreamUp to remove all in /var) you should have the maximal /var space.
Still, the DM5620 really has a very limited /var space. By the way, why would you like to install CCcam if it's already in the image?

[t_g]

I am trying to connect my Qboxhd to the dreambox for homesahring, for some reason it only connects to the older version of cccam...

[hemispherical1]

If you don't have enough room in /var to do what you want, you're probably going to have to look into moving /var to a network drive or something similar.

By the way, why would you like to install CCcam if it's already in the image?

When I just install a fresh PLI image, it has a pre-installed CCcam. In the pulldown menu of the softcam setup it is listed as CCcam 2.1.4 - is this correct? Why would an old version ccam be pre-installed?

Thanks, TG

[dAF2000]

Does the CCcam web interface also show version 2.1.4? See http://<ip-address-of-your-box>:16001
If it's really an old version, I can update it to the latest version (as long it fits in the image).
