OpenVix Apollo 8 to 12 not working

The online version has a bug and causes a boot loop. Don't jump if you see the update icon flashing. Thank goodness for image back ups.

Build 012 was rebuilt late last night, so this should be fixed, thats also why there is a inbuilt backup feature which by default backs up your settings and plugins, allowing them to be easily restored upon a reflash. you could also try a update via a telnet session which has worked fine for me on 4 receivers this morning

Have you actually found the 012 file since it was rebuilt? I only see the 008 file now.

We have not pushed it to the download site yet ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), you can get it from the online updates or via a telnet update for now, I would upload build 012 here but I am on a horrible connection at the moment.

Did you try updating through Telnet?
init 4 && opkg update && opkg upgrade && init 6

Just to update, build 012 has now been pushed to our download site [Only registered and activated users can see links] and the feeds have been set back to stable.

Thanks P-R ... I see them.

008 to 012 working fine now.

On 012 the time displays correctly for me.

Only problem I've run into after mounting 012 to Multiboot, is menu>setup>updates, displays 238 updates available, select the update and reboot system, it hangs in the boot process on the Vix boot logo. But, I guess this might be a Multiboot and Vix compatibility problem. Haven't had this problem in prior Apollo versions.


Edit:

After four tries remounting 012 and updating the 238 items, it took, and booted ok.

My time was off by 3 hours. I played with the settings. I finally forced an NTP sync by changing the NTP server to time.MIT.edu. I then changed the time sync to Transponder and selected a good 6 or 7 different birds to force time to be wrong but based on wrong transponder time codes. I then went back to NTP and it synced to the proper time finally. It has been correct for5 days now.

Thanks Bill, I will try that out and see if it works.
