well my inexperience has shown, been playing around with the box for last couple of days, all fine, got up this morning, had a picture but couldnt change channels, think it was parsing status bar at bottom of screen that had froze, rebooted and kept getting green crash log screen, eventually started but had no channels,
did a software update now box is stuck in startup mode
any advice for this inexperienced user would be great
stuck on startup

You will have to switch it off at the back and put usb stick with whatever image you like and reflash and keep the the plugins installed to a minimum only install what you really need.
-
i think everything was installed to the hard drive
-
Which image and version were you using before you tried to do a software update ? Which plugins did you have installed ? How much memory was free ?
Stuck in startup can be either a clone or a problem with the HDD or USB.. Disconnect the HDD and try to start the DUO..
-
no idea what image or version, or plugins, loads of memory on hdd, will try disconnecting hdd
-
i think everything was installed to the hard drive
Plugins are installed to internal flash memory by default, so unless you used something like flashexpander plugin nothing will be installed to the HDD..
no idea what image or version, or plugins, loads of memory on hdd, will try disconnecting hdd
Doesn`t matter how much memory is available on the HDD, it`s internal flash that matters..
In telnet run command free and paste the output here..
-
same happened with hdd disconnected,
it was set up for me, so no idea with anything,
how do i access telnet ? -
Access telnet with putty or Dreambox Control Center.. At this point forget about telnet until you get the image working properly..
Possible this a clone receiver and from a payserver, am i correct ?
I don`t think there is any way to recover from this other than a complete reflash.. Choose one of the latest images from Here BlackHole and OpenViX are popular.. You may need to upgrade the bootloader as well, get it Here..
Follow this guide, flashing bootloader and image uses the same procedure.. --> How to flash a Vu+ Duo by USB

was assured deffo not a clone,
will try all this later thanks -
was assured deffo not a clone,
will try all this later thanksA sure way of telling if it`s a clone or not is the price you paid.. Was this a new receiver ? How much did you pay for the receiver plus free gift ?

Normally images use:
USERNAME :root
PASSWORD :dreamboxBut some images leave the password blank (ie no password)
So you might need to set a password via a telnet session before you can use FTP because E2 does not accept FTP anon or blank pwd connections.
If you flashed ViX then I belived the above follows because the pswd on ViX is left blank. On BH I think it is still dreambox?
-
i have tried using dreambox and leaving it blank still nothing,
how would i set a password via telnet, i am very much a novice with this sort of thing -

If DCC go into telnet window. If other make connection first.
Type 'passwd' enter
input new password of your choice
input it again
system message "Password has been changed"Reconnect DCC FTP should now work
-
Sorry but it has just struck me that what is weird to me here about all this is that I have never had to do any of this? Did you reboot the box a second time after you flashed it? Which image did you choose in the end?
I ask because I have experienced on some images that stuff like FTP and/or SMB don't work after first boot but do after a second. So this may be worth trying out first.
-
not sure where would i find it
-
connected to dcc via ftp, but not telnet, briefly connects to telnet for about a second and will not let me input txt in the telnet box
