problems with reboot box(dm8k; dm800se)

    • problems with reboot box(dm8k; dm800se)

      in last week several times have got case
      when call reboot from menu comes frezed picture and nothing more till power switched off/on

      fixable by
      1. make backup copy of all /etc/enigma2/ content
      2. call from menu `Factory reset`
      3. when comes first start wizard dont touch any option and copy back old /etc/enigma2/ files to the box and turn off/on power

      that means problem isnt in E2 settings file but something else ...
      interesting what exact files are overwrote by `Factory reset`???

    • I have had also the same problems.
      Delete the plugin "rdate" and all will work correct.

      First i have this problem on my DM500HD and i found with "try and error", that rdate makes the problems. Now i have found the same problem on my DM8000, i delete rdate and the DM8000 works correct.
      Rdate and the new unstable image don't work together.

    • newnigma2 services - system tools - system settings: use transpondertime: yes

      addionally you can try this -> NTPUpdateManager (not testet)

      or try the rdate mipsel bin from debian source. I testet it in an onother Image (without rdate) some time ago and it worked well (update every day with crontab).

      but i think the newigma2 team will resolve this problem soon

    • rdate ist in allen Images vorinstalliert und funktioniert auch.

      Ihr meint das enigma2-plugin-newnigma2-rdate.
      Das soll rdate automatisch ausführen wenn die Transponderzeit deaktiviert ist.


      Ich würde euch empfehlen einen cron-job für rdate anzulegen.
      ..und wir schauen uns das irgendwann mal an

    • Ich habe mir mal die /etc/enigma2/timeserver.cfg angeschaut, da scheinen die Timeserver drinzustehen.
      Hab es auch direkt ausprobiert, das scheint alles OK zu sein:
