    i recently installed and set up ubuntu server, using the automatic oscam install. all is working ok.
    but i keep seeing on the forum that there are oscam file updates. so the question is,
    is it advantagous to update the oscam file from the original with the auto install.
    and second how to update: which folder etc. to place the new file.
    any help appreciated.

    just trying to update with the latest oscam file.
    after ftp new file to /user/local/bin. i rename the new file as oscam and the old file as oscam.bak
    i then put this command in terminal chmod 755 /user/local/bin/oscam and get the message file does not exist.
    i assume i am doing something wrong in the command line. can anybody tell me please.

    Obviously you have gone wrong somewhere but cant say where from the info given, using your ftp program right click on the file choose properties & chmod 755 that way.

    cd /usr/src


    svn co h**p://oscam.to/svn/oscam/tags/1.10/ oscam-1.10 (replace ** with tt)


    cd oscam-1.10


    mkdir build


    cd build


    cmake -DWEBIF=1 ..


    make install



    Above is all done as root (pc server) when done simply move the file to were you want.


    Simple method, once done type ls and this will show you the files in the current directory, oscam will already show in green (executable)


    So today's latest oscam file is 6295


    So lets rename it until we want it running


    mv oscam oscam6295.bak


    Lets assume your oscam file is in /usr/local/bin


    cp oscam6295.bak /usr/local/bin (simply change to your path)


    Now thats done lets delete the oscam folder you just created.


    cd /usr/src


    rm -rf oscam-1.10


    Now go to your oscam directory


    cd /usr/local/bin


    ls


    This will now show you oscam and oscam6295.bak


    Now lets assume your old oscam version is 6280


    killall oscam


    mv oscam oscam6280.bak


    mv oscam6295.bak oscam


    ./oscam -b



    Done, your now using the latest oscam.


    As mentioned, you should always back up your old oscam and keep it, any problems, revert back.
