software update

i use vix image 4.2.009
for a long time now i have the [ openvix stable available symbol ] on top left of tv screen.
when i go to the motion of doing the update and box reboots the symbol will still say update available.
only the last week it now says there are two updates available,but when i update the symbol remains there.
i am sure i have seen this problem posted on the forum in the past,but i can not find the thread.
if someone has answer to my problem or give me a link to similar thread i would be grateful.

[MENTION=11662]master[/MENTION],did what you did.the symbol has gone,but when i go menu/setup/software update it tells me 2 packages are available.when i upgrade and reboot there still there. [MENTION=183699]abu[/MENTION] no,the only changes i make lately are upgrades to vix image.

thankyou abu,will do.
thankyou master G.

installed 10 with usb,then reinstalled my backup settings.
it,s still telling me one update available.
im not to worried,when it tells me there are two updates available i will update then.

abu,yes i have a storage device attached.
i removed it and inserted it in lappy but i kept getting a screen message to say it had malfunctioned and to replace it.
i have inserted a new usb into the box and made a full backup.
i inserted this usb into my lappy and cannot find a file or folder called opkg.

just noticed another problem with software update.
the one package that is constantly present should i try to update it these messages start to appear on the screen after an hour and keep repeating them self,s over and over again.

it just keeps repeating itself,the only way to stop it is to restart GUI.
then it will tell me there are 40 jobs running in the background!..(really restart now?)
some times its more other times its less.
when i restart its gone but when i try do update it starts all over again.
i checked the logs file and there is nothing there.
cheers.

abu,im thinking its a usb issue.
i totally started from fresh today.
i reinstalled 10 today and without using a backup installed everything manually.
but the issue happened again.
i changed the usb (this the 3rd one) and mounted it,that was over an hour ago.
so far so good.
can you tell me were i can find my picon folder please.

the picons went to flash memory.
i dont use the box for recording.
and since i do not have lots of plugins i thought this be ok.

abu,its starting again.
i will have to learn how to take a screen shot and post it here.
i will not be doing it tonight as my head is melted with this issue.
will you keep an eye on this thread for me and when i find a tut i will forward the info.

but i just noticed something in the last minute when i switched back on my vu...(i switched it on by rocker switch on back).
i normally have 6 extensions when i press the blue button.

1/ Autobouquets Downloader
2/cross epg downloader.
3/EPG-importer.
4/rats DW channel updater.
5/softcam manager
6/vix.

when i switched it on i noticed it had a seventh extension.
at the top of the list it had this.
1/In progress softCam check (0%)
when i pressed exit and pressed blue again it was gone.
just wondering if this sheads any light on the problem.
i use mgcamd.1.38
