OpenBh 5.6 & Vu+ Zero

_Gigino_ · Sunday at 11:48 AM

For two days and three nights now, I haven't been able to resolve the problem you see in the video (a video is worth a thousand words!).

The Vu+Zero, like the Vu+Solo2, is connected via LAN cable and the network works.
Besides the offline feed, what could the problem be, if there is one?

. . . and the problem persists even with the latest version (5.6.003).
Is it possible that the feeds have been under maintenance for almost a week, or is there a problem with my Vu+ Zero?

pleace on vuzero:

could you do on terminal:
opkg update

then
opkg upgrade

and show the output?
There is no maintenance ongoing, I think there is a timeout and enigma2 misinterpret the error.

many thanks

Thanks
PS: The box is connected via LAN cable and the internet is working (FTTH 1.0 Gbps).

always on telnet/ssh:
nslookup feeds2.openbh.net
ping feeds2.openbh.net

I suspect there is the dns misconfigured.

To summarize:
With version 5.2, the feeds work;
with versions 5.3.x, 5.4.x, 5.5.x, and 5.6.x, the feeds don't work.
Always with clean flash.

interesting this time wget finished without error...
and wget is called during updates...

so now try (trying to figure out if is an out of memory):

init 2
opkg update
init 3

do you have dns issues... probably your provider filter dns and introduce latency and the timeout 5 make opkg to fail. Until we will decide how to proceed you can create a wrapper :

If you paste following command in telnet/Ssh it will automatically create the wrapper for you to disable timeout options.

if you prefer you could create a file with notepad, and upload on the box to the path in bold then give chmod 755 permission

mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
cat <<EOF > /usr/local/bin/wget
#!/bin/sh
opts=""
while [ $# -ne 0 ];
do
case $1 in
--dns-timeout=*|--connect-timeout=*)
shift
