BH addons plugins do not download

[Markiow]

Hi,

I can not work out what is going on. I have tried to download a few things off the BH servers and it says that I am unable to download. It says something like this:

opkg download: failed to download from http://feeds.vuplus......

then goes onto say that it cannot install.

Any ideas folks?

Thanks

Go to the network settings in the menu and check if everything is ok. You can try a restart from button on the back.

i had done a few network checks and all is ok. Box is working well on 3g phone also, so still not sure :-(

If the box works locally that does not mean it works out
on the WW net.

Check twice if the gateway is set to yes
and if you have there address of your router.

Thanks, will try when back in front of box..will let you know

Have done restart network, checked network and all ok..gateway is set to my router. On demand works fine and transcoding to mobile is ok, so I assume access to the ww net is ok.

Have restarted the box (vu solo2) and still no joy on downloads. I assume I have to reflash?

I have even dropped into tmp. folder and still no good and i have attached a pic of what was on my screen.

A problem in downloading (wget error 255) has been previously discussed here:
http://www.vuplus-community.net/board/threads/wget-returned-255.13278/
but probably yours has a different cause.

Which image are you trying to update ??

 

[Eragon]

wget error 255 on BH has also been related to a possible virus infection (Lightaidra 0×2012) that affects wget binary.
Source:

Wget binary is moved to -wget or simply deleted

Which image are you trying to update ??

Trying to upload any, but specifically permanent timeshift.

Thanks Eragon and matrix10

Thanks Eragon and matrix10

I asked which Black Hole image version you use ???

 

[Markiow]

Sorry, I am using 2.0.8

 

[Eragon]

Sorry, I am using 2.0.8

Try first to update online your BH image to 2.0.8.1 and then retray the operation.

Strange.

I've seen this error only when I had no internet connection,
with bad network configuration.

I have just searched around the net and found the following that has worked (for the time being?)

I searched my box for 'wget' and found that the file had been renamed to -wget so i changed the file back to wget and all is ok.....This is what I found on the net...
" have a look in your /usr/bin, you may find the wget has been renamed to -wget. Rename it back to wget and all should be back to normal"

So at the moment all is ok. I shall keep an eye on it and report back if the wget file gets renamed again. I did not flash to 2.0.8.1.

Thanks everyone for their help and watch this space !

As I wrote before, this effect (wget renamed) could be very probably due to a virus infection, so it's likely that you get the infection again, because you have some security "black hole".... in your network!

Better check your router and internet connection settings.

Password has been changed..so I shall see what happens.
