Like many other people here, I had a problem with green screen when trying to access recorded movies, caused by glass HD skin. At first, I tried reflashing with autoinstall (glass hd removed from autoinstall file) and it went well, but the receiver was very unstable. After a day, I did a new flash, restoring only the settings from 2 months ago which didn't cause any trouble. All the other plugins I downloaded manually, and installed only PLi-HD skin.

Unfortunatelly, my Vu+ duo is still unstable. USB flash disk is accessible after reboot, but after some time it doesn't show folders and files it contains (from filebrowser), and picons located on it doesn't seem to work at all. Swap file seems to be working all the time, though. Also, after some time (I don't know how long it has to pass after reboot) box is not accessible via FTP or telnet. At the same time http access works flawlessly.

Sometimes green screen appears when timer needs to change channel or satellite, or even in some everyday things - playing recorded movies, zapping. Even restart sometimes stays blocked with gears spinning forever.

I tried online update in the last 2-3 days, but nothing changed.

The question is - what am I doing wrong? Did anybody else experience similar instabilities? Can this suggestion from another topic fix anything? (I suppose this is done via telnet)

opkg remove enigma2-src (when there were already installed)
opkg install enigma2-src (this will recover all py-s)...

Then restart enigma2 via:
init 4
init 3

hi, from agadir morocco,
To ovoide all problems, use old soft with old kernel, that you find it in downloading, you can use Glass HD even the last versio (4.33) and even plugin lake weather and also your VU DUO becam stable.....

So, it's actually a kernel problem? Is there a possibility for it to be fixed soon?

[Roodkapke]

No it's not a kernel problem.

The Glass skin simply modifies, or better, destroys some important system files.
And those files which are provided by this skin causes your box to crash.
We decided to remove the Glass skin from our downloads.
That's until it is fixed, and were sure it doesn't ruin things.

The only real fix for you is reflashing and not using the Glass skin

Apart from your apparent glass skin problems (which I think you got rid of the mean time), the vu+duo suffers from an apparent driver bug.
Many people report instability, random crashes etc, since the 3.1.1 drivers from VU+.

There's nothing you (or we) can do, just wait for VU to fix things.
Some people choose to flash an old image (available in our downloads), because the problem causes their box to be simply unusable with the current drivers.

I'm using VU+ Duo and never experienced such crashes with last week's PLi image. I confirm Glass skin problem and I reported this to the developer, shamann. He fixed and released a new version (v4.33) a few days ago. This version does not modify typewriter..blabla..py and causes no problem.

Yes, but as I said, that's exactly what I have already done. Before the green screen problem I didn't have any unusal restarts/crashes, whatsoever. I have used new kernel and drivers since the new year.

After an update two days ago, it seems to be more stable, but not 100%. As I write this, the box is unreachable via ftp, but http access to OpenWebIf works like a charm.
