[VU+ Duo] Seeing VU+ Duo on home computer network

[cactikid]

setting up mine with latest image from scratch and no backups as i was on older image

 

[judge]

Hi Judge can't remember exact No but it was the last image where we were advised not to restore. Possibly when the HD was integrated into the ordinary images

Try flashing again using build 112, currently available on http://www.openvix.co.uk/
Dont do any restores, is it still slow to boot then?

pheonix was spot on

Go into the network section on the image and install NFC and maybe samba too.

just reloaded VIX, after a year and now see uno in network

Samba worked. Thanks everyone.

Where does one setup the network NAME of the box?

EDIT - figured it out - Under Network Hostname.

tried it but didn't help. A full 9mins to reboot. Slower than my old Alien 2 (lol)

A different issue, so worth a different thread.
But: this can easily be the case if Linux is checking the file system of an internal HDD. A bootlog (RS232) can tell you more.

For using Windows Explorer only Samba is required.
NFS is the Linux native system.

Long boots like that can sometimes be attributed to a mounted drive not being available.....

That indeed slows down booting but not for 9 minutes. A diskcheck however can easily take even longer.

Has been ok since I did a clean install. Maybe I had put something on in wrong place or something.

Not exactly correct.. NFS is a network filesystem (hence it's name), which OS like Linux use...

Hence why it's native to Linux.

No, it's not native to Linux, it's supported by Linux.. You can also install NFS support on windows if you want.. And on most Linux distributions NFS is not supported without installing some extra packages.. So no, it's not native..

As we're getting pedantic now...

It is a native Linux/Unix protocol as opposed to Samba which uses the SMB protocol developed by Microsoft. The Apple OS has good support for NFS. Windows 7 has some support for NFS.

I don't agree with the words native Linux but yes, we are getting pedantic..
