I have just updated my vu+ ultimo with lastest openPLI V4. Did work great for one day.
Today it will not boot, it locks on "astra dishes picture".
This is not the first time that this happens, or why does this happen. ?
(ps dont ask for crash log becouse I cannot access my vu+)
is there way I can fix the boot without reinstalling. ???

When this happens, do you have a spinner running? And you can't ping the IP, or telnet to the box?

If the spinner isn't running can press menu?
Nothing works it just goes to the "astra dish picture" and u see the spinner for a few min and the it locks.
I had todo a reinstall lastnight so it works now but for how long....
But is this becouse the openpli starts a update in the background. ?
is there any in the settings so I can stop ANY update. ?
If you press meny/update it gives you a warning saying your reciver could be unstable and not work....... think this is the problem so is it a way I can stop it from updating. ??

OpenPLi will not update in the background, it only updates if you do an update manually! The warning, before you update, is there to prevent people from claiming anything 
. OpenPLi (remember I am not one of the developers) has left the strategy of releasing (only) stable releases, but making (every) nightl(y) builds, which you can choose to install/update.

Does the box have a disk mount to an external system, for example another box, a NAS, or your PC?
If that mount is being made (= at bootup) or accessed when in operation, and that external system is unavailable, you can also experience spinners and a box that seems to hang...

yes my vu+ ultimo is connected in network so I can access it from my pc.

I understand that, but do you have a drive in your network mounted on your Ultimo? For example to play mkv files from your PC, or from a NAS or something?

Not directly. The ultimo is connected to a network.
I have re installed 3 times after this post. Right now I am re installing OpenPli v3.0 from january to see if that helps.

Just wanna give a update: Last night I gaveup OpenPLI, sad since I have used it for many years and it is very easy to use but after so much problems I have had with OpenPLi V4.0 I had to move to another image.
Tried first vu+ from http://code.vuplus.com/ and that did work great. But have also tried this.
Open VIX from http://www.openvix.co.uk/
so this is what I have now installed and finaly my vu+ ultimo works fantasticly and everyhting works and no more lockups. Another thing OpenVIX have functions that I have not seen in any other image, I love it. So there is nothing wrong with my box or my network.
Anyway I will use OpenVIX until openPLi have sorted out your problems.

I still think you have a config issue. And every time you install OpenPLi, your old config gets restored from backup, so you will continue to have the issue.
Too bad you don't have the patience to sort it out.

Well I think I have tried to get help for this problem but no one seams to know what it is. So I need to get this to work so then I need to look elsewhere and finaly I have found images that work.
Hope OpenPLI can find the errors since I did love openPLI so next time I download it I hope it will work.

Then we have to find someone else with this problem, and sofar I haven't seen one.
And until one appears, I would say it's a problem at your end, and no generic problem. Otherwise people would be screaming all over the place.
For us it's very difficult to assert what the actual problem is, if we don't have access to the box, try things, or see what happens. We can only work with your feedback, and try to come up with suggestions.

Have same problem with VU+Duo and DM500HD.... Works fine until first reboot... After that is just autumn picture, an don't work... Use latest image, from 10.10.2014 on both...

IIRC it has to do with quitting some of the wizards. I suggest you try it and run through all wizards COMPLETELY without using exit, etc.

I done all wizard, same problem (500hd)... did reboot after i run all wizard (not deep standby or power switch off/on)...
Posted 12 October 2014 - 20:43
How can I say this..... I am very happy that more people have the same problems that I have with my Vu+ ultimo.
Vu+ ultimo is not a very old reciver so must be possible to make a image that u dont have to update every day and is "light weight".
