OpenVix 5.1.012: software update

[Sicilian]

All users please note that release 5.1.012 has a software update bug. Users on 5.1 012 are unable to perform a software update using the remote control. If you are on an older or newer images, this bug will not affect you.

This will not work.
Menu > Setup > System > Software update

To update/upgrade the image, users must use one of the following methods:

Method 1
Recommend way, open a telnet session to your receiver and enter this command:

init 4 && opkg update && opkg upgrade && init 6

Method 2
FTP the attached update.pyo to /usr/lib/enigma2/python
Restart the GUI, Software update will work as normal. Answer yes to the warning question.

Menu > Setup > System > Software update

Method 3
Flash the new image using Image Manager. This is also called "Couch flashing". You will need to have a storage device connected to your receiver, USB or HDD.

To download image:
Blue button > ViX > Image Manager > Press Yellow to download the most recent image > Once downloaded, press the red button to close image selection download screen

To flash image:
Highlight the image you've just downloaded > Press Blue button to flash. Backup of settings is automatically done before the flash commences ready for restore after the flash.

After flashing the image, receiver will reboot. You will be asked to restore settings and plugins. Say yes to both.

Method 4
Flash newer image using a USB flash drive.
Firstly create a settings backup so you can restore it after flashing the new image.
Download latest image from openvix.co.uk. Flash newest image using USB flash drive as normal. Receiver USB flashing guides can be found HERE.

2) FTP the attached update.pyo to /usr/lib/enigma2/python > Restart GUI :: box does not reply to commands any more so how will you reboot except by hard switching on or off

Must have been your box, I've tested that update.pyo on a number of boxes with no issue.

You only have to use ONE of the methods I posted.

Try restoring your settings again, (and remember it asks if you want to restore plugins as well).

 

[Andy_Hazza]

You must have flashed while the feeds were being updated. If you usb or couch flash now they should work. Alternatively you can restore setting and plugins from your backup at any time from the Backup Manager section.

Sound more like a disc error, but could be way of the mark.

Are there and nas mounts unavailable? Is your hdd working ok?

Should be fine, take backups first. Take image backup and also settings backup.
