Good afternoon
Up to yesterday, the machine was running a version of OpenVix 4, and then I updated using this file "openvix-5.1.013.release-vusolo2_usb.zip" from Vuplus-images.co.uk.
It was correctly unzipped and copied to a USB drive, the re-imaging process was followed carefully, and the m/c booted to the desktop, albeit that it seemed to sit there with the "Please wait" message for a long time. Nevertheless I was able to successfully go through the image set-up routines to configure the language, A/V o/p, tuner setup, my location and the LAN & WiFi connections (etc.), and all seemed well at that time, but I did not install anything, such as a Catseye channel list, as I decided to do that later.
However, today, when I tried to carry on the process by starting up the machine, it consistently hangs showing "Vu+ Solo2" on the front panel display and a "pretty pattern" of bubbles and the words "OpenVix - please wait" on the attached screen, and then goes no further.
Tried several power OFF-ON resets but I get the same thing everything times - so does anyone have any ideas on how to fix the problems, or have I totally bricked the unit this time around?
Thanks in advance.
PS: things have changed a lot in the last 10 mins!
I removed the Octagon WL008 Wifi dongle (MTU 7601 chipset) from the rear USB port and switched on - and then the m/c restarted the image updating process because the Update USB drive was still in the front port and so I'm now going through the re-imaging process again.
However, it was removing the Wifi dongle that allowed things to start again, and I now suspect I downloaded the wrong driver plug-in for that dongle - So, could that have been all that caused the boot hangs?
BTW: I have now found and downloaded what I hope is the correct driver plug-in for that chipset!
