We have had a complete cleanup and have built all images and packages from scratch. This took a long time and finished yesterday evening. The next step is to FLASH the last image and it will probably be alright. Don't update!

 

Hi,

 

First of all, thanks for taking the time to have a look at this issue. Just to be clear, if you have a Vu+ Solo 4k you'll need to do fresh install (flash image) with the latest image from this site?

After, restore your settings. I also have the plugin that takes a full backup (image backup I think), best not to restore that backup?

 

thnx

If you use the Autobackup plugin to make a backup of your settings, and enable autoinstall to make a backup of your installed plugins, the image will prompt for the restore of these settings on the first boot after a new flash.

 

With this you'll be up and running in no time without having lost anything (disclaimer: it does not backup/restore anything installed by hand, you have to make sure these things are selected for backup yourself).


Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Ultimate (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)

Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

@Eric, would that be the expination for 60+ online updates (et8000) ?

Yes, better flash.

No, a few days ago more than 90 updates available for an et10k. It updated ok and a day later the same happened again, still no failure... :)

 

Yes. And how many updates depends on how corrupted the PR server was, it could be different from one box to the other.

Thnx for this tip. Flashed new image and auto restore worked. Everything is working now!

Quick question (as I see no posts here since Feb. 7): I flashed using a Jan. 28th image downloaded from the website, restored backup and manually installed missing plugins.
But since then, I'm very reluctant about updating.
Is it safe to do so now (Feb. 12)??
Thanks! Bart.

Afaik there are no issues.

 

The problems were related to a corrupt database on the build server (that keeps track of for example versions and dependencies), and the build process went haywire when we removed it. Which is why the advice was given to flash the box instead of upgrade.

 

In general, if you want to update and you see hunderds of updates waiting, it is an indication something is amiss, and a new flash is better than an update.

Builds are fine from February 5th.

Mijn schotel is een T90 met 10 LNB's. Daarnaast voor de fun nog een draaibaar systeem met een Triax TD 78.

Dreamboxen heb ik niet meer echt actief. Verder heb ik ook nog een een VU+ duo2 met 500Gb harddisk + een VU+ Uno, Zero, Solo 4K, Ultimo 4K, Zero 4K, Uno 4Kse. + ook nog een Xtrend ET7x00. Daarnaast heb ik ook nog diverse andere modellen w.o. een Formuler F4, ET8500, ET7500, Mut@nt 2400HD, Xsarius Fusion HD se en verder nog wel het e.e.a. waarmee op verzoek vanalles wordt getest. Iemand moet het tenslotte doen. ;) :)
Los van de eerder genoemde modellen heb ik nog wel een rits aan testsamples als Mut@nt 2400HD, HD60, GB UE4K, GB Trio4K, Maxitec Multibox combo en Twin, Octagon sf8008, sf8008 mini en last but nog least enkele modellen van het Grieks Duitse Edision.

Voor centrale opslag van media gebruik ik een Qnap 219P met tweemaal 2 Tb harddisks + een Synology DS414 met 12 Tb Totale opslag.
