  • Edison OS Mio 4K SSH / NFS Updated Versions?

    SSH (Dropbear) and (Linux kernel) NFS versions appear needing updates.


    SSH/Dropbear

    Noticing I'm getting a warning with (Dropbear) SSH login concerning dilapidated RSA, requiring additional options for using ssh,


    $ ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -oPubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-rsa root@192.168.1.127


    This works, and is likely more than adequate for a home/private network usage; however most will not be aware of the additional options. Forum posts indicate this warning is likely a moot concern for home/private networks.



    LINUX KERNEL NFS

    Also, more so concerning but has a somewhat acceptable workaround, noticing the box is using NFS version 3, incompatible with nowadays NFS version 4.


    NFS version 3 does leave the box's NFS service useless, with a work around using Samba/SMB, the Edison satellite receiver's mounted USB memory devices can be still be exported and mounted throughout a home/private network, with clients either using Linux's cifs-utils or Windows (SMB) sharing, still providing a lightweight non-encrypted protocol large file copy operations.


    For reference, I routinely, every six or so months, update the OpenPLI software using the graphical user interface. (eg. Menu > Setup > Software update)

  • SES 1 101W Ku Band Audio Channels

    For those within the area of SES 1 101W, typically the North American continent, providing a listing of audio channels not typically detected by FTA satellite receivers, with audio PIDS gathered from Lyngsat, utilizing Dreamset-2.4.13 Windows software.


    The fields within the lamedb database include few sorting fields (eg. genre), did my best utilizing just the ID, Name and Provider fields; Name field usually just printing the channel ID and Title, now provides additional simulated additional fields for coherent sorting. Using this method for sorting the large groups of audio only services/channels while having few fields, can more readily cross reference changed services/channels. The audio only SES 1 channels are further categorized by genre via the Microspace's subscriber's public Internet corporate pages.


    A huge fan of Muzak, and sane background business music. Think all sane businesses should subscribe to sane background music!


    Now, as for the database entry formatting I utilized, providing easier sorting and grouping.


    For the name of each service (AKA channel), I used the following format, each field separate by double spaces for readability:

    Provider Genre Audio_PID Title


    Appropriate NK or "No Feed" denotations and/or including descriptions, for services (AKA channels) not having appropriate descriptions within the Lyngsat.com database.


    American Family Radio Music/Talk services/channels currently appear to have no feeds.


    Service numbers (AKA channels) within the whelm of a Microspace subsriber, I included within the (lamedb) database file/patch as those service numbers or channels will likely change within the future. (A subscriber likely subscribes to a range numbers. Could auto generate a range 0-10000 within the lamedb text file and routinely scan for feeds.)


    Attachment: lamedb-ses1-20260211.patch


    Directions, after configuring satellite receiver for acquiring SES-1 and finding services/channels:

    1) gzip -d lamedb-ses1-20260211.patch.gz

    2) init 4 (stops Enigma2 services)

    3) cp lamedb lamedb.orig

    4) patch lamedb < lamedb-ses1-20260211.patch

    5) init 5 (restarts Engima2 interface)


    Or, use Dreamset Windows software after retrieving the satellite receivers database files, again either using diff/patch or manually copy/pasting into lamedb file.


    Dreamset reports the Edison satellite receiver operating system reading/writing the lamedb database file, is Enigma 2 version 4.


    2026.02.13 Denoted the lamedb file operating system version.


    2026.02.11 Updated the attached (lamedb-ses1-20260211b.patch.gz) patch with corrected AFR frequency with good additional working transponder settings, now getting both AFR music and talk feeds. Thanks to Lyngsat advising I had the wrong frequency! Minor, also denoted/corrected a couple of the already found/working Microspace feeds.
