[Mut@nt HD2400] Can't Start Samba

[abu baniaz]

Just a thought - my Sundtek usb tuner doesn't work on 027, and my rtl8192cu usb wireless dongle isn't too happy either.

The Xtrends had a kernel change which has affected USB tuners. Other brands won't be affected by the Xtrend kernel changes.

Odd that my usb wireless dongle appears to have similar problems - timing out/powering down(?). 026 works fine.

What kernel is on 026?
What kernel is on 028?

Why do you ask? I know there has been a change in the kernel.

 

[abu baniaz]

And you know it is faulty. That kernel change won't affect the OP as he has a different brand of receiver.

It is no point reporting issues on a receiver we know has an issue with a kernel.

There was an update to Wifi. With all due respect, if there is an issue with Wi-Fi, other users with an unaffected kernel are better placed to report the issues.

If you are adamant that there is an issue in that will affect everyone, please flash 026, and manually update the changed python files.

So you're not interested in wifi issues with an updated kernel, only if there are wifi issues without a kernel change?

I'd have thought any issues after a kernel change need to be reported. One might be easier to trace than another.

How could I have known that there were any significant wifi updates to all boxes?

 

[abu baniaz]

You are using a kernel with issues. Your perpetuating/suggesting that all receivers will have the issue is not helpful.

Your issue is a valid issue, but not in this thread. I shall ask Admin to report it to Xtrend, but we would need to rule out other changes on "clean kernels".

It's like someone with deflated tyres getting the tracking fixed.

I don't ever remember implying that all receivers are effected.

It was established very early on that the Samba issue was box specific, only a few being effected.
The kernel change prompted me to do a clean install of 027, which then brought back the Samba issue which I first reported a year ago.

The only reason I mentioned wifi in this thread was because I was using samba to access files over wifi, and the installation of samba was non standard (as far as I was concerned).
I then linked the usb wifi problem to the usb tuner problem, which seems to be more than likely.

 

[abu baniaz]

Apologies. Please continue.

 

[ccs]

Apologies. Please continue.

No need to apologise, all I'm trying to do is provide as much information as possible. It doesn't always join together very well.

You say Xtrend need to get involved.
Is that because it's a driver problem interacting with the new kernel or can the kernel be fixed without any Xtrend involvment?

Setup - Vix - Backup Manager - New Backup
This is done automatically, has been for a while. No harm doing it manually though.

Setup - Vix - Image Manager - Downloads (choose latest image)
Setup - Vix - Image Manager - Restore (choose latest image)
Restore plugins and settings upon boot
Re-download LCD skins and skin etc since they never seem to be retained
They should be now, provided they are on server. The list of installed plugins now only lists packages, not dependencies. Dependencies will be installed automatically. We have removed the kernel restriction, so everything that is on server should install.

As an extra measure, you can use this: http://www.world-of-satellite.com/s...talled-plugins&p=435697&viewfull=1#post435697

Check Samba . . .

Everything restored perfectly (skins and all); first time in a while :thumbsup: I ran your script before and after to check and the files listed are identical.

Very happy, thanks.

 

[abu baniaz]

Glad you are sorted.

The script is not mine, you must thank Huevos for that.

I can't seem to get Samba to install since my USB update to 4.2.016 and subsequently to 4.2.020.

When entering Samba Setup it just gets stuck in a loop of trying to install "packagegroup-base-smbfs-server". It tries to install, reboots and when entering Samba Setup it wants to install again.

Still happening on a clean install of 4.2.029

Changelog has Make sure that packagegroup-base-samba is available

That change modifies the feed, not the OpenViX image.

I guess doing "opkg update" first still solves the problem?

Yes - it starts ok via the GUI interface after the opkg update.
