Is Vix 2.4 stable yet?

I used the vix 2.4 on an UNO for 2 weeks , very nice image,especially with the ramiher-3 skin ,
my only hiccough was that I couldn´t get it to recognise the DTT usb penstick .
Other than that,,, yes nice image and never had a crash in 2 weeks.. but as they say : "horses for courses".. user´s choice!

ViX 2.4 is superbly stable more so than 2.3 ever was although for me 2.3 was also exceptionally stable.

if you look on the OpenViX site you will see a icon to show the status of the current Build green for stable, red for unstable and gold for updates being uploaded to the server.

now as to the regular updates you see, we dont just put them there for the sake of it, if you read the changelog i upload with every build you will see just what we have changed in that build, but as always make a set of backups if your unsure so that you can return to a working image if the worst happens.

as for ViX 2.3 i see your still uploading crashlogs on a almost daily basis and we do appreciate that but We no longer update nor maintain ViX 2.3 so there will be no updates for that image, i will say though if you move to ViX 2.4 you will find that almost all if not all your problems are resolved in this newer image.

why not install backup suite to make a full backup ?'
I use this on images that don´t /won´t permit ..
Works a treat.. you will find your backup in either /media/usb or /media/hdd whichever you make the backup to..

thanks for the replies fellas

phoenix.... i am on the open vix website now and cant see any green, red or gold icons beside any of the image builds

I also wanted to ask you a quick question phoenix: do you guys ask users to submit both crash AND debug logs or just crash logs and what is the difference between the 2 of them?

Now that i know vix 2.3 isn't maintained i wont send anymore logs for it

I really wish i could backup my current vix 2.3 but every time i try backup to usb, i get an error message, the box crashes and it needs a reflash.

Maybe if i try a more up to date USB stick with better read/write speeds it might work?

your hard work is greatly appreciated phoenix, keep up the awesome work :)

look here for the icon.

as for logs crashlogs are usually enough although we will sometimes ask for debug logs as well, try setting the backup location to the HDD see if it works then, if yes you can always FTP into the image and copy the backups to your pc for later use.

no need theres a fully functioning and frankly far more superior backup manager built directly into ViX it self.
