[VU+ Duo] Random Crashes VIX 2.3

[Mr. Mister]

Can you not just switch of at the wall and all is ok again.. ??

Hi,
Same here! Having many issues since the bootloader update...
I've only had one black screen out of many box lockups. I can't find any crash logs newer than December 2011. Where are they located?
Cheers,
Gavin

 

[Bat]

Hi,
OK... I've read there's a bug that deletes the crash log when you restart the GUI or the box. To get round this you need to set DEBUG LOGS to ENABLE in the log manager.
Cheers,
Gavin

Hi,
Ok, here it is. Box locked up when switching on with remote. VIX logo spinning slow and then fast, then box came into life on a different channel to the one it was on when I switched it off.

Just to clarify: there are two kinds of crashes.

1- An Enigma2 crash. When this happens a black screen will show, Enigma restarts and a crashlog is produced.

2- A system crash. When this happens the box freezes (= dead), doesn't respond to anything. The VFD will be frozen at the time of death. No log is produced and the only way to get the box alive is to pull the plug.


In both cases the debug logs can be very useful. Be sure to have them activated if you experience problems and want to help to sort them out.

What USB tuner are you using? Did you have a recording set through your USB tuner?

 

[Bat]

Hi,
I'm not using one. I did install drivers for one at some point but never purchased a USB tuner in the end.
I had got timers set for around the time I switched the box on.
I thought I'd reflashed since though...

[Bat]

Hi,
I had a look through plugins and extension and couldn't see the drivers for the USB tuner

Tell us which USB tuner you have and someone can then tell you which drivers to use

 

[Bat]

Hi,
Bassethound ... I don't have one! Sicilian was asking about it in post #30. I think it may have some bearing on the problem

Hi,
Here's some more logs. I had 10 in a row of the root crash from 00:22 to 00:29. I've only uploaded the last one as they were all the same file size.

If anyone else has a problem please post your logs!

Looks like your HDD could be full.

 

[Bat]

Hi,
Probably is by now, but still having freeezing problems.
Last night I watched 1 channel for 2 hours, box completely unresponsive wouldn't change volume, channel, anything.....
Would the box make 10 logs beacuse the HDD is full?????
Cheers,
Gavin

 

[punisher]

[Bat]

Hi,
When I installed it, about 9 months ago.

Yes if your trying to record and its full. As Punisher asked, when was the last time you initialized your HDD? Maybe try backing up your recordings that you want to keep and re-initialize your HDD.

 

[Bat]

Hi,
Ok I'll do that.
How do you change the recording path? I just can't suss it out
