Beeker has removed the patch and I then did another update and now everything works well again 

[zeros]

Probably the framebuffer needs a new flash, I'm afraid. I tested it on not the online update and with clean install from scratch. Believe me, I'm in the last three days tested more than ten times flash with different things. Yesterday we put this update without warning to the live feed. Sorry for the discomfort.

About FTP again. We must be 100% sure that the new patches are the solution.
Because the patches affected all machines (even the non dreamboxes). It overrides the entire vsftpd of openpli-oe-core.

In folder:
openpli-oe-core/meta-dream/recipes-daemons
folder 'vsftpd'

Like:
openpli-oe-core/meta-dream/recipes-daemons/vsftpd

When you have the time, please test (with clean install wihout backup and multiboot) WITH and WITHOUT old and new vsftpd.
How does it work? Well very simply.

In  'openpli-oe-core/meta-dream/recipes-daemons' the folder 'vsftpd'. That's the NEW vsftpd from openembedded core.
If remove the folder 'vsftpd'(after backup) we use vsftpd from OpenPLi.

So First test with 'folder "vsftpd"' and second without it.

Please test both versions and say, if ftp works or not. Please test it in either case, please.

So your results should be like:
------------------------------------
1-with-folder-vsftpd   : ftp OK / or NOK (vsftpd from openembedded-core)
2-without-folder-vsftpd  : ftp OK / or NOK (vsftpd from OpenPLi)
------------------------------------

 

My results with dm920: (tested with DCC and with WinSCP)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-with-vsftpd   : Just normal FTP with port 21 OK SFTP with port 22 OK (for SFTP need first with passwd give the password)
2-without-vsftpd  : Just normal FTP with port 21 OK SFTP with port 22 OK
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I did not expected that. Freon, please give your results also. Adga, as I know, have Mac. Mysterious.
I remove the test, when your results are known.

Will do when I visit my friend. I am on Zero 4k now, much less fuss...

OK, take your time.

I tried this with iMac (iDreamX 3.0.19)

A new Amlogic box is coming soon "Amiko Alien 5" with specs "Amlogic 905D, 2GB RAM, DVB-S2/T2/C combo Tuner & wifi" (seems similar to Mecool KI Pro). Moreover, it will be supporting Enigma2 and testing of a Pur-E2 image is under progress. So we may have some lead for Mecool devices from this.

 

[gorski]

I'm back for more sharing is caring stuff!!!
 

Thank you gorski my friend

It's nice the team decided to make their e2 source public.. as it was forked from public work anyways

I'll have a look in their kitchen soon.. too bad they didn't upload their commit-history, but great job nevertheless!

 

Hello, m8!

 

Here is the second instalment of my little contribution to the hobby (however small "my" contribution [as a non-coder] in all this is)...

 

May I present you with the legendary and sadly now defunct PowerBoard PBNIGMA PB Centre, "oldie but goldie" piece of code, which helps tremendously with older HW!

 

Let me explain, please (from memory):

 

It's a set of tools to set up an E2 properly!

 

As it is geared towards PBNIGMA structure it has to be modified to the structure of the basis of an E2 image (OpenPLi or OE-A or DMM).

 

It has a Device & SWAP Managers, plus Flash Expander (as "Expander") included, all in one place, easily used by people who are not put off by a little bit of thinking that is required.

 

It PRESUMES NO AUTOMOUNT of devices/partitions being done by E2 - BUT instead, user sets them up the way s/he needs. Then, all else follows easily!

I warmly recommend this especially for great little old boxes like DB500HD, 800HD PVR, 800HD SE, AZbug HD models and all similar boxes, with too small a flash for everything one might want installed!

 

So, firstly, one must mount one's devices/partitions manually.

 

PB Device Manager will enable one to that in a best possible way:

 

1) initialise = erase/partition a device/partition, then create up to 4 partitions on a single device (with 4 various sizes/ratios)

2) format your newly created partition(s) in many formats, both Windows and Linux type (ext2, 3, 4, fat, fat32 etc.)

3) mount a partition with many different possibilities (/media/hdd, 1, 2, 3, /media/usb, 1, 2, 3, /media/cf etc.)

4) create a SWAP file of various size, on a partition of your choice

5) expand flash by mounting only certain relevant folders from the flash on a device/partition of your choice (USB stick or SSD recommended).

 

This manual mounting of partitions on external or built-in (=internally placed) devices guarantees that no partitions "swap places" after a reboot, thanx to "dynamic automounting" - and then it all goes haywire.... a lot of work gone for no good reason whatsoever!

 

Expander function will do its magic for old machines with very limited flash space and then one can install whatever one wants onto a USB stick or SSD, for instance...

 

One should create a partition to be used solely for Expander! Nothing else should go there! Plus another one for Picons, EPG, SWAP file, subtitles and whatnot...

 

So, please, feel free to continue using this GREAT SET OF TOOLS FOR SETTING UP AN E2 PROPERLY, i.e. in a best possible manner, so the whole thing will function well. I repeat: your manually mounted partitions/devices will NOT swap places, thanx to "dynamic automounting". Please note, there is also an included tool in the PB Centre for a different type of mounting, if one uses 2 identical USB sticks, for instance (by UUID).

 

Good luck!

Oooh, aacchhh, spilling the beans before our coder(s) is/are ready, I see...

Great news as PLi supports some Amiko boxes and it's possible for this STB to be supported by PLi

Amlogic chips are so perfect for audio/video playing but for dvb I don't think so.

About FTP

could that be the reason that /etc/inetd.conf is missing in DreamOS images

[zeros]

If you're reading, then the ftp's concern was only with dm900. Thanks Beeker, who found different solutions for testing. The result came as a result of a strong testing.

/ etc/init.d/vsftpd seems to be the reason regarding FTP. Nothing more nothing less.

But i still don't know why it's only affecting dm900 and not dm920, as they using same vsftpd, busybox, kernel, MACHINE_FEATURES and DISTRO_FEATURES.

And both machines building systemd.

Or i overlooked something..

Simple: Do not use Bitbake as root

You need to use a normal user not root.
