[ViX_Misc] Installing "Skins and Picons"

[avi68]

If Ocram is properly installed it will show as an available update when there is one.

Is it that the same as when I get a software update (flashing green icon) ?

 

[Rob van der Does]

The telnet command

df -h

will tell you how much flash is in use.

Thanks for that Rob!

ubi0:rootfs has used 64%. Everything else is 0% except the hdd ofcourse.
I hope that figure is along the correct level?

 

[Rob van der Does]

so you have plenty of room for picons in flash!

been trying to load picons in to my solo2 but they don't seem to work i got them from the site not really sure who's picons i just looked for 28.2 east here is a screen shot



what am i doing wrong should i delete them and try something else

 

[judge]

They need to be in a folder called picon, not picons

 

[Rob van der Does]

I can't read it, but folder name should be 'picon'.

 

[nsw9154]

Thank you all for pointing that out i will delete it do a fresh reboot and re enter it as picon :thumbsup:

No need to delete, just rename the folder.

Answer is in last sentence of post 14.

 

[nsw9154]

Yes, if HDD is in use then that is fine. Internal flash is still fastest.

The image will look for a folder called picon on any storage device. There is also a specific location on internal memory, but this is in addition to the root of internal memory.

If you manually download, eg from a website, transfer to storage device by whatever method suits you. FTP is simplest.

You can also download through plugin menu. Storage options listed will be those that are in Linux file system.

Thank you abu i did not see that post i have downloaded ocram picons they look great Thanks again

 

[abu baniaz]

Glad you are sorted.

 

[nsw9154]

I Decided to load them in to the internal flash saves messing about with USB Drives

 

[abu baniaz]

If you want to use flash drive, you will have to initialise/convert it to ext file sytem.

 

[nsw9154]

OK abu changed usb to ext4
