OpenViX - LAN woes and Waiting... for Image download

  • Dear all.

    I have a genuine VU+ Duo 2, purchased about 8 years ago. Current image is OpenVix 6.0.008 (see below re updating). We have a glassfibre internet connection. (The LAN cable is usually attached router->Netgear multisocket->VU+ but even connecting directly router ->VU+ does not change anything)


    Problem 1: The Network menu shows me WLAN and LAN. Network Test on both shows me all green on each one and each one shows me a tick in the Link box.

    However, even when LAN is selected as "default", trying to download a plugin it tells me I have no Internet. Selecting WLAN and trying to download a plugin tells me I need to run opkg update. I presume that an updated opkg would come with a newer image. And that leads to the second problem..


    Problem 2: I always have trouble flashing new images from a USB stick, despite following the instructions faithfully, so I decided to download a new OpenVix image via Image Manager. Selecting *any* from the list either gives me FAILED or a blue bar and "Waiting" beneath it. This Waiting stays there literally for hours until I give up and have to switch the VU+ off at the back to get out of that page.


    So in short - why does it tell me I have no internet, when Network tests show LAN is ok ? And why is it always Waiting?

    Any help you can give me would be very welcome.

    Helvetica, Unless you upload your debug log, nobody can check. Do you use a non-regular network setup? Do you use a vpn or are you blocking google's dns server or using your own one?


    For now, download the latest vix image using your web browser on your PC/laptop. There is no need to unzip it. Using FTP, transfer it to /media/hdd/imagebackups  You can then flash it without having to download it through your receiver.
