skin_user.xml help

why not download another skin from BH addons download manager..
press yellow-green then from BH addons download manager then BH image skins..
be careful which skin version you choose, for example : BH2.0.x ...
I use MX_RED2 on the duo2 ..

I don't have Duo2 but I'm trying to understand why is this happening.
If you updated the bootloader before flashing the 2.0.5 image the VFD should work properly.
The VFD's skin_user file is included in the image. You can change it to suit your needs and it shouldn't be overwritten at reboot
So that's strange.

The VFD must work regardless the skin that you install, as long as the skin is compatible with the image itself.
Only when you deside to make changes to the skin_user file, then you must make them corresponding the skin itself.

I think it's important to know the BH Image I was using was someone else's backup image

This why I found a little bit strange.

No disrespect for the ones who take the time and effort to make and post backups because they are very helpful, but if you want to learn something you should always install clean image and work from there.
The only things that I backup with built in backup manager are network , mount's and config.
All the rest like: skin_user, keys, keymap .... I ftp after image update.

Exactly ... I understood that he had indeed entered the .xml and had modified it.

I decided to delete the skin_user.xml from /etc/enigma2/ and reboot the machine to see what happens,

why?? it sounds strange to try something like this..unless you are curious and with some basic knowledge of how things work...

This is all new to me so I maybe just talking crazy.

Especially from somebody who has no experience.

Well , this has been more than documented on this site,,,
the only reason I can see anyone using a backup image is because they don´t have the time to do it themselves.
Or don´t feel confident enough with lack of experience to start it from scratch.
Had it been commented from the start that it was somebody else´s backup image,then that would have been the focus of attention from the start.
Congratulations !!! you have found out how to setup an image to your liking ..so enjoy it..
