ViX Team VU+ Duo Image v2.2 - 11/06/2011 - Discussion

What is a flash ?

[08:52 PM] Nalareddep : When you 'flash' a vu+duo is this an upgrade for the enigma 2 software, a sort of subroutine, or somthing else and what is the worst caqse scenario if it goes wrong ?

Its not a upgarde, its like installing different version of an OS.

If it goes totally wrong - never heard of one yet, it can be still recovered but needs more effort.

Hi VIX Team, installed this image about 4 days ago - never have used the VIX image before.
I'm totally impressed and just wanted to say a big thanks to the team for the brilliant/hard work that has been put into developing this image. I find it very stable.

I am a complete newbie and have just installed my first ever Sat system a week ago and blundered on and finally am now sitting watching ITV HD with exceptional quality. I have also just installed VIX 2.2 which has some great features and is simple to navigate. I wondered if there was a user guide document or at least a list of terms used as there are a load of these I do not know what they are/mean. I have just discovered what a bouquets are doh!!

Not yet mate as it would take an awful lot of work to keep updating it after each image release but you never know. There will be a VIX wiki which will go some way towards addressing some of the users needs.

Best thing is to try and find out yourself. Features found out that way will be remembered much longer......!

Also always make an image backup and a settings back incase you make a mistake somewer so u can go back to ur last working image

 

[GATHERIDGE]

Looks good mate

That is the beauty of present live: back ups are easy and safe to make, and are thus inviting to make an excursion to another image.
And then tou really experience what you miss......

My major problem with Vix 2.2 is that I cannot initialise a hard disc, either internal or external and to work around this means going back to original Vu+ image.

Will this problem be fixed in 2.3?

 

[Rob van der Does]

The strange thing is, that many people can use the ViX-image to initialize their disk, and some can't. We found no way to reproduce this. I just got a new HDD and found no problem initializing it, so apparently I'm one of the lucky guys. If you're not: adding a HDD isn't a daily job, so for once just go over to the OI.

Long story short: don't expect enhancements in that area, but you might just be lucky.

Whats the make and model of the HDD? as done 3 Seagates and never had a problem, one of them was even out of a SKY HD box and worked fine.

For some unknown reason and despite having not changed anything on my system for several weeks I have started getting the above message displayed. Any idea what the cause is and how to rectify it?

 

[Stanman]

You have enabled timeshift on a drive that is not formatted as ext3/4. If you have not changed anything, check your devices are mounted correctly blue button>vix>mount manager.
If all ok check were your timeshif path is pointing to

Strange thing is I had exactly the same this morning on a DUO with internal HDD. Never ever had this before, after a reboot all was fine again.
