Erik, what can I do without your consent ???

 

Eragon, I never have the "hang" when I was watching a recorded movie, All the times it was while the box was recording : some times, when I changed services (direct channel), sometimes when I went in Movie Player et chose a movie and one time when I wanted to put the box in standby.

[Eragon]

In  2 cases,

 

 All the times it was while the box was recording :

 

But the problem always occurs when using the hard disk...

[Erik Slagter]

As this problem occurs only for a few users and not for others, and when watching recordings, could it be possible that there is some incompatibility with the hard disk?

Most unlikely.

Erik, what can I do without your consent ???

Trying to get a dmesg output and post it here (3rd try...)

[sjlouis]

Erik, you're as incomprehensible for me as littlesat or you are joking and I haven't understood.

[Erik Slagter]

Ok, another attempt.

 

1. watch tv

2. enigma crashes (spinners starts to run and enigma becomes unresponsive)

3. login to the receiver, using telnet or ssh protocol, use your favourite client

4. type dmesg

5. copy&paste the last 20 lines from your screen here.

[sjlouis]

Yes, I've understood how to do for dmesg. The only problem is that I can't reproduce it when I want. It only works when I don't want, when I record something i want to keep. I'm trying to do other tests today. I've already reloaded the last "very bad" drivers.

[sjlouis]

I finally found how to reproduce the bug !!!

 

You program a timer which must begin a few minutes later minimum, you put the box in standby. The timer begins, you wait a few minutes, you start the box, you change service with the direction key or with services list and it crashes (no need to go in Movie Player).

 

You can find the dmesg file log in the attached file .

 

 dmesg.log   31.66KB   11 downloads

[Erik Slagter]

This dmesg doesn't contain a crash report. BTW note my remark output pasting the last 20 lines...

 

Seems you will also need to run enigma in debug mode.

[sjlouis]

The previous time, you wanted the log file .

 

And I don't know how to run Enigma in debug mode.

[WanWizard]

And I don't know how to run Enigma in debug mode.

 

Login, and on the commandline, type

init 4
ENIGMA_DEBUG_LVL=4 enigma2 2>&1 | tee /var/tmp/enigma.log 

if you do a restart (of enigma or the box) from the menu, you get your commandline prompt back. You can then go back to normal operation using

init 3

Note that depending on the box, the free space in /var/tmp is limited, if the file grows too fast, it probably better to write it to a USB stick or to the disk.

[sjlouis]

Ok and I replace ?

    /var/tmp/enigma.log

by :

    /media/usb/enigma.log

 

Thank you WanWizard .

[WanWizard]

Yes, that is fine.

[sjlouis]

Ok ,thank you .

On a similar post, I've add this reply :

 

Last week, I've installed the drivers from 6.1 (22 December) and the last bootloader from Vu+ website (8 January) and it's better. Previously it was easy to reproduce "crashes" but now I can't. It's better but I still had a crash I can't reproduce. The box was recording and when I want to see a file (I chose the movie and I pressed OK), it crashed. I shutdowned the box but it crashed every time I try to open this movie. After I restart electrically the box, I could open the movie.

 

I have a question : on another post, somebody told me to launch : "shutdown -n -r now" but the box is unusable, it crashes nonstop. Now, I restart the receiver (with the menu) or restart electrically once the box have restarted from shutdown.

 

Is this command "shutdown" bad or is it the option "-n"? I've searched about this command and I've understood "-n" can do unpredictable results. Have you an idea?

[Erik Slagter]

Shutdown -n is exactly the same as pulling the power plug. Don't use it, or do like I do, use "init 0", which will poweroff as quick as possible, but without cutting corners. Why do you need to shutdown in such a hurry anyway?

[sjlouis]

When the box "hangs" with the driver problems, you said me to avoid to restart the box with the electrical button and do a software restart. But commands "init 4" and "init 3" don't restart the box. Then somebody said to use "shutdown -n -r now". It works but seems to give problems.

 

Then which command can I use to restart?

[Erik Slagter]

I just told you: "init 0" for poweroff or "init 6" for reboot.

 

And if everything is frozen, only a power cycle will help.

[sjlouis]

Ok I shall try them, I don't remember if I've already tried them.
