The link in your last post displays the contents of the file (in ms windows), not what you want.

a little bit over my head with that one ccs
can I put the image file directly onto the box in a folder using ftp and then install from the box itself?

 

[ccs]

Yes, but someone else needs to advise.

 

[eattheliving]

Yes, but someone else needs to advise.

I thought so. I did read it somewhere but as per usual can't find the webpage now. I thought it went into something like media/hdd folder or something

 

[ccs]

If I was guessing I'd say store the Grog script in /tmp/filename.sh, and then bash /tmp/filename.sh

This is the script

rm -rf /media/hdd/viximage && mkdir -p /media/hdd/viximage && cd /media/hdd/viximage/
options=$(wget -O -  https://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php/downloads/ |grep index.php\/downloads|grep img|grep -Eoi '<a [^>]+>'|sed -n "/href/ s/.*href=['\"]\([^'\"]*\)['\"].*/\1/gp" | sed -E 's#https://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php/(.*/)?.*$#\1#'|sed -E "s#downloads/(.*?)#\1#"|sed -E "s#(.*?)-images#\1#"|sed -E 's#/$##' )

Can I copy this and try it? Which bit pal ?

 

[ccs]

This link should allow you to download it in windows...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hc2cdr116lvx3dj/install_vix.sh?dl=1

Then ftp it to your box and then bash filename.sh. It does everything including flashing the image.

Another way is to download the image yourself ...

You can try this:
Download latest image, unzip and then copy the main folder containing the root and kernel to /tmp
Then in telnet session:- ofgwrite -r -k /tmp/mainfolder ———> obviously replace mainfolder with the folder name!

tried with the image in the tmp folder and code got the below error mate.

root@formuler1:~# ofgwrite -r -k /tmp/formuler1 ———>
-sh: syntax error: unexpected newline
root@formuler1:~#


what do I do with the .sh download please?

 

[ccs]

It should be ofgwrite -r -k /tmp/formuler1 not ofgwrite -r -k /tmp/formuler1 ———>

 

[eattheliving]

It should be ofgwrite -r -k /tmp/formuler1 not ofgwrite -r -k /tmp/formuler1 ———>

tried it and still no joy pal

root@formuler1:~# ofgwrite -r -k /tmp/formuler1
-sh: ofgwrite: not found
root@formuler1:~#


what do I do with the bash filename.sh?

 

[ccs]

Try /usr/bin/ofgwrite -r -k /tmp/formuler1

If that doesn't work then neither will the script.

 

[eattheliving]

Try /usr/bin/ofgwrite -r -k /tmp/formuler1

nope

root@formuler1:~# /usr/bin/ofgwrite -r -k /tmp/formuler1
-sh: /usr/bin/ofgwrite: not found
root@formuler1:~#

 

[ccs]

We need to find out which package ofgwrite is part of, and download it.

There's a package call ofgwrite so it's probably that.

Will it be the same on a different model box? I could copy it from my duo2

 

[ccs]

No, try opkg install ofgwrite

I think the age of the image you're running might be an issue. Let's see.

That command works for me, I'm beaten, either wait for another poster, or go back to flashing with a usb stick , the older and smaller the better.

Edit: one last try....

opkg update
opkg install ofgwrite

 

[twol]

nope

Ofgwrite is part of the build and is always installed for any OE-A or OpenPli image - but perhaps the factory image doesn't.

Is that two separate commands?

It’s not on the factory image which is the only image that I can get to load on the box now mate
