  • Automated Install Script for Ubuntu CCcam Server

    Automated Install Script for Ubuntu Server


    The benefits of using an Ubuntu server are that the desktop environment is really user friendly; it can be used as a day to day PC. Support for Ubuntu is not as good as Debian but the commands are either the same or just slightly different.


    This Tutorial is taken from CCcam Forum; the script was created by Youknowwho. The script itself is perfect works a treat and takes just minutes to run through, there are a few small errors on his instructions so I re-wrote them.
    Please read the instructions, Install Ubuntu and do the whole process from the UBUNTU desktop. If you don’t it may not work.



    Download the latest stable release of Ubuntu 10.04 (as of July 2010)
    Download link. Download | Ubuntu
    Burn the ISO to a disk pop it in the server and reboot, select your language and install directly, don’t bother with the live disk. If for any reason it does boot in to the live version then when it gets to the desktop double click on the “install” icon. When asked for your account name think carefully and write this down as you will need this at a later stage, I will use cccam


    The attached setup file contains all the scripts required. Use winrar (http://www.rarlabs.com) or similar to unzip. The file contains Cccam 2.1.4 and CFG file, if you want to use a different version then just replace the Cccam.x86 with the one of your choice.


    Ok so Ubuntu is now running and you are sat looking at the desktop. There are two ways to proceed, you can either use the Ubuntu PC to continue or you can use FTP and Telnet, Personally I prefer to use the Ubuntu Server. People have reported errors that use windows to edit the .sh files, please use your new Ubuntu server to continue.


    Open the attached file that has been unzipped it is called cccam_install_package and there will also be a file called UbuntuInstall.sh. Edit UbuntuInstall.sh just double click these tonight on your Ubuntu desktop and choose display to edit them.


    On Line 12 you will see this


    OWNER=share4u


    You need to edit this to reflect the account name you used to install Ubuntu. I used cccam so mine will now look like this


    OWNER=cccam


    Repeat this step on the following files:


    cccam_install_package/UbuntuInstall.sh
    cccam_install_package/LogCleanUp.sh


    You should have done this three (3) times now. DO NOT EDIT ANY OTHER FILE OR IT WILL NOT WORK.
    Once edited place the folder cccam_install_package and the file UbuntuInstall.sh in the TMP folder, click on places computer then your drive, you will see /tmp/


    Click applications, and then open Terminal.
    Type in:
    sudo –i
    It will ask you for your root password insert it now
    It will now display this:
    root@ubuntu:~#
    Type the following:
    chmod 755 /tmp/UbuntuInstall.sh
    /tmp/UbuntuInstall.sh


    The installation will now begin. The script will ask you one question you need to select “Standalone” when it is complete the script will reboot Ubuntu for all other questions just press yes.


    You can place a config file in the var/config folder; the server will update it every night at 3:57 am. If you want to force the script to update you must use the following command


    Sudo –i
    (Insert password)
    /var/script/configupdate.sh


    This will then back up your old cfg file and insert the new one. Do not try and put a config file straight in to the Var/etc folder, it won’t work.


    Using your Ubuntu server and Firefox type in the following http://127.0.0.1:16001


    You will see Cccam is working.

  • Guide for installing enigma2 ipk files on any image

    Ipk is file extension for most the enigma2 plugins files and composed of compressed data of the plugin distributed in different folders for automatic installation,Barry allen and drivers are other examples of ipk files
    There are three common methods for installation of ipk files


    1- Telnet command by using Telnet from windows and better from DCC program


    Transfer your ipk file to dreambox /tmp folder by dcc-ftp commands and put the following command in telnet window

    Code
    ipkg install /tmp/enigma2-plugin-extensions-pluginame.ipk


    you can use copy-paste to put ipk filename
    some images like newnigma and openpli do not accept ipkg command we can use opkg instead
    The following is demonstration of Barry allen ipk file installation by this method








    2- DCC-upload packages method
    This is the easiest installation method specially for beginner








    3-Manual installation
    after copy the ipk file to dreambox .tmp folder from dreambox we follow the demonstration(this is for old gemini but same principal apply to all images)



    Thanks to Tunisiasat

  • Howto:change dream800 bootlogo

    sometimes we like the image but we do not like the image bootlogo
    we can easily change the bootlogo by one personal or any other logo


    dm800 and generally enigma2 boxes have 6 logos
    1-Initial bootlogo : this one appears immediately at initial reboot and lasting about 40 seconds and before appearance of meoboot or barry allen menu
    the file responsible for this is boot/bootlogo.jpg
    2-The logo appears after the initial bootlogo and lasting depend upon the image from 1-3 minutes and the file responsible for this logo /usr/share/bootlogo.mvi
    3-this logo follows the second one and called bootlogo_wait and located in usr/share/bootlogo_wait.mvi
    4-Logo appear as background for the image and appear when restart enigma and called /usr/share/backdrop.mvi
    5-usr/share/radio.mvi appears when playing radio channels
    6-usr/share/switchoff.mvi appears when shutdown the dream


    all these logos can be changed with what we like easily
    first logo bootlogo.jpg can be replaced by any pc picture with extension jpg and importantly dimensions should be 1280*720 pixels
    and copy this pc picture by dcc or any ftp program to folder /boot in dreambox
    adjustment in dimension can be done by the defualt windows program paint brush or if you want dimension adjustment with adding effects,texts or other to the picture you can use fantastic software snagit


    other bootlogos are special video files with extension mvi
    we can convert any pc image to mvi by the software called Dream Logo Generator_Dreambox 800/8000 and again importantly the image should be 1280*720 pixels before conversion to mvi
    after conversion of your images to mvi transfer these mvi files by dcc or any ftp program to folder usr/share/ and replace the existing file by yours


    To view mvi files in pc use windows media classic in win xp enviroment or windows media player in win 7

  • FlashExpander Dreambox Enigma2 Plugin

    The flash expander "enlarged" the flash with the help of an additional device.
    Gemini or ICVS is not a requirement, should work on all images.
    The idea is to check the flash expander into CVS.


    Function:
    The complete folder / usr is swapped with "mount bind" to a device. Meant that brings the flash expander the greatest benefit when the same after flashing a new image using the flash expander and then installed only other plugins or skins. If you want to test the new flash without flash expander can of course also the only way is no free space is created in Flash but, the current free space is "frozen".
    Once you've used the flash expander should be removed in any case, the stick or CF SSD or more, the box will boot up but only in this moment again used the original / usr, so all changes are lost. The device which is used for the flash expander, can be found under the mount point "/ media / flash expander" again. Any negative side effects should not arise from the flash expander (eg TPM-Check), as it has changed for the programs / Enigma nothing, for example, FTP can see no difference in the folder / usr.


    The unit can still be used for other tasks, such Picon outsource, only required it is no more. Wink
    If a swap on the device to be applied should first be disabled. The unit must be hung briefly make it new on / media / flash expander integrate.


    Requirements:
    A device that is formatted with ext 2/3/4 and has a partition. RAW devices are not supported. If you stick his e.g. as a RAW device used, without partition, it can be as Gemini in the device manager and re-initializing provided with a partition.


    Installation:
    The IPK into / tmp and install the Console "opkg install / tmp / flash expander *". Anyone who has installed a Gemini is easily in the console an "opkg update | opkg install flash expander" Perform. You can find the plugin then menu-> Add-ons to restart Enigma.


    Anyone who wants can help you develop into the flash expander, sources can be found on the box. Geminis are newer, with a recommendation to use flash expander published.


    Important:
    Flash Expander has been tested not in conjunction with any other image managers or Flash extensions.



    v0.13-r1
    New is the integrated devices through its UUID (except 7025).
    Has the advantage that the device still has the same name in the system

  • Crush - Crash Dump Reader plugin

    Actually reading crashdumps is not difficult - first comes a lot of blah-blah, then come in 90% of the cases of the 3 lines:


    "Plugin Extensions / block content failed to load:"
    "EXCEPTION IN PYTHON STARTUP CODE:
    "Traceback (most recent call last):
    "FATAL"
    ...........


    And then comes a handful of interesting lines of why this happened and then comes back a lot of yada yada. That's really all a little scroll in the file and it knows what going on.


    Unfortunately, few people know the shocking (and this may pardon my simplicity), and thus can actually quite a few people whose English would be enough to recognize what has happened with a crash dump enigma2 not do anything (to see which plugin for example, has caused Him)


    In addition, many people do not know how many crashdumps they already have, which is the latest and the ridiculous number in the file name, the timestamp is.


    Currently you can also CrashLogs in enigma2 View the Widget Console does not properly because they are too long and then enigma2 stuck if you look at it.


    So I have allowed myself time to crush a small plug-knit makes this whole things a little easier:


    1) clean up all CrashLogs from / tmp and / hdd


    2) List all CrashLogs from / tmp and / hdd


    3) The possibility in 2) CrashLogs complete view, or just the handful of interesting lines which usually sufficient to know is why it happened and to convert a possibility the timestamp as a real-time when it happened and delete the respective CrashLogs individually .


    Is, of course, as usual, not perfect, but that You must try it now. If the handful of lines of your opinion, is not sufficient to understand the cause of CrashLogs be found on / tmp / crush.log this short version of the dump - please this file to post along with the long version so I find out what you would need to adapt even more.


    Is also clear that the 3 lines from above, only the usual 90% of starters for CrashLogs, there are certainly a few more - let me know that you can also include in future they will be well spent in the short version.


    Have fun with Crush!


    PS: Anyone who is not looking Crush should see with his children the movie Finding Nemo


    PPS: In an HD Skinn's better readability, but it was me at the moment not so important. If anyone feels like he can optimize the like, including my class for displaying large files (scrolling up / down and line by line with right to left) is not the yellow of the egg, but whatever.

  • Ubuntu vs Linux box server

    You can run thousands of shares on a ubuntu server but the card you are trying to share will have a limit.
    You can overclock the card frequency that will allow more shares, but be careful with this as you can fry the card.
    Wont know if cccam will work alone unless you tell us what card you are using.
