be gentle, got a software crash on my uno4kse this morning. I dont have debug logs on but do have messages and this keeps repeating

Sep 11 11:49:00 vuuno4kse cron.info crond[1764]: (root) BAD FILE MODE (/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root)

about 12 times and in between I get this

Sep 11 11:49:00 vuuno4kse cron.info crond[1764]: (root) BAD FILE MODE (/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root)

cron is very old, like me, and looks like this

30 * * * * /usr/bin/ntpdate-sync silent

00 21 * * * /usr/script/skyscraper.sh

00 15 * * * /usr/script/skyscraper.sh

30 17 * * * /usr/script/skypicker.sh

00 19 * * * /usr/script/skypicker.sh

00 13 * * * /usr/script/skyscraper.sh

05 13 * * * /usr/script/skypicker.sh

20 13 * * * /usr/script/skypicker.sh

00 16 * * * /usr/script/skypicker.sh

NB I forgot to say image Vix 6.6.012

I have skin essentials installed.

Can you upload the crashlog please. Default location is /home/root/logs

**urie** · Sep 11th 2025

bmitie if your on openatv Im certain 30 * * * * /usr/bin/ntpdate-sync silent

is depreciated now not in use, if you check /usr/bin/ folder it is not present.

The ntpdate-sync utility was removed from OpenATV because it is a deprecated tool and can be unreliable, especially when compared to the more robust ` ntpd ` (the NTP daemon) or sntp (Simple Network Time Protocol client). Users are encouraged to use the built-in NTP synchronization settings within their OpenATV device for reliable time management, rather than relying on the outdated ntpdate command.

Ooops forgot to say image is Viv 6.6 here is crash log and I deleted that bit as per urie, not done a reboot yet.

**abu baniaz** · Sep 11th 2025

Crashes will always generate crash logs. They are different to debug logs. You do not have to enable anything. You uploaded debug log. Please upload the crash log.

**KiddaC** · Sep 11th 2025

If you are using my toppicks via my kiddac skin essentials. This no longer requires cron jobs. So you can delete all mine too from the crons files.

bmitie · Sep 11th 2025

ah too distracted edited above and I hope its the crash log. will delete as above

**KiddaC** · Sep 11th 2025

And as for your memory error in BMX, I am working on something for series

**urie** · Sep 25th 2025

KiddaC , if you are still doing any skin edits could you please look at flashonline messagebox screen I amstill using slyk-1080-r19 but it is the same on onyx.
I did try editing a while back reducing font in skin_user_slyk-1080-r19.xml for MessageBox.py and FlashManager.py

No big deal but would be great to see all text.

FlashImage1.PNG

FlashImage_Metrix.PNG

FlashImage1_Metrix.PNG

As you can see in Metrix HD all text is shown.

In fact Just looked at my skin_user_slyk-1080-r19.xml and edits are still there here are images with edits commented out.

And another but this is a big one the timeshift not showing min and seconds but I remember this was discussed before think that would be a lot of bother because you had custom one.

Hello!

I started to remove my unused plugins. Since I started to use Metrix skin againI removed Skin Essential plugin from the plugin menu. But after the rebbot I have a warning message when I open Plugins menu. As I think I need to delete manually something, and I do not want to broke my image, I ask ehat should I do to remove completely?

That is old problem with some plugins if downloaded from forum and not downloaded from feed i,e, plugins you will need to manually delete

/Root/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/

KiddaC_Skin_E2sentials folder.

Can you fix other skins that are not yours?

MX Sline / Slim Line

Can't the weather plugin be used with this skin?

Can you see if this file works for you. Yor screen grab has lots more text than mine

**KiddaC** · Sep 28th 2025

Hacking the pointless change of EPGImportConfg which was changed in March to use the Setup screen with no fallback for the old screenname.

statusbar does not correspond to footnote. A footnote is something tiny that appears at the bottom. Which is why this original amend broke everyone's skins for EPG importer.

Python

    <screen name="Setup" position="0,0" size="1920,1080" backgroundColor="transparent" flags="wfNoBorder">
        <panel name="Setup-Default"/>
        <panel name="description"/>
        <panel name="HelpWindow"/>
        <widget name="footnote" position="1575,931" size="308,78" font="Regular;21" foregroundColor="white" backgroundColor="botmid" halign="left" transparent="1" valign="center" zPosition="4"/>
        <panel name="VKeyIcon"/>
        
        <applet type="onLayoutFinish">
from enigma import eSize, ePoint, gFont
from skin import parseColor
if self.instance.getTitle() == "EPG Import Configuration":
    if "footnote" in self:
        self["footnote"].instance.move(ePoint(540, 215))
        self["footnote"].instance.resize(eSize(1002, 120))
        self["footnote"].instance.setFont(gFont("Regular", 33))
        self["footnote"].instance.setForegroundColor(parseColor("white"))
        self["footnote"].instance.setBackgroundColor(parseColor("topmid"))
