FOR NEW 3.1.1 KERNEL

First of all make a backup copy of the current drivers, copy all the files in
/lib/modules/3.1.1/extra

When new drivers comes out, take tar.gz drivers file and unzip all files in
/lib/modules/3.1.1/extra
and replace old drivers.
Than reboot your decoder, that's all.

If image reboots correctly new drivers are compatible with your image, if image doesn't start it means that the drivers are not compatible and you have to wait for an image upgrade.
In this case to go back to old drivers, just connect with ftp and copy the drivers you backup before to:
/lib/modules/3.1.1/extra

is there such a thing as a vu duo clone ?? and if so is it hard to differentiate between the two or would this have any bearing on it at all
(just a thought)

niall_b73

the box was new (and the user never requested anything) taken from the box as i witnessed and seen it installed, tho.... how long the seller/installer had it in his possession or where it came from is another question ??
the tspaniel was already on it when it was plugged in and switched on !!

niall_b73

"as the box was already on 2.3 its likely that you need to update the bootloader first to allow it to work with kernel 3.1.1 based images."

so how do i differentiate between kernel images and or is it just a matter of downloading a certain kernel image (the lastest(3.1.1 based images)) from here and installing it as well as the new backup image ?

hmmm.... see now there's where you start to get all technical on me, is that easy to do as i am myself only learning as i go along ??

Quote from master G

ViX 2.3 is no longer supported so an online update will not work buddy, a full re flash of image version 3.0 is needed..

If you need any help with that let us know..

yeah i did a full reflash from a backup image but it would not load: http://linuxsat-support.com/vu…-duo-backup-musogeek.html

i did all the norm for the reflash but maybe i will try again in the morning.

also there are no options in his current vix image to download skins, plugins ect....
niall_b73

Hi all my neighbour just purchased new VU duo box with vix 2.3 preinstalled it also had TSPANIEL and a few other plugins
I tried to do update box froze switched off/on and then TSPANIEL was gone with other plugins
Also it wont let me change skins and when I go into plugins browser it wont let me download additional plugins
When I try to FTP plugins to the box - box constantly crashes!!!
Any help and assistance GREATLY appreciated

niall_b73

WOW... now while i am eternally grateful for your help i have to remind you that i am a complete novice at this and learning (albeit very slowly) as i go along.
the link you posted do i install them all or only 1 of them or whatever i think i may need ?? :baffle:

many thanks,
niall_b73
