=============================================================================== =================================== motorfix ================================== =============================================================================== ===================== v1.0 First Release ===================== - Initial release. ===================== About: ====== Basically this fix is a workaround for a bug in enigma where the saved satellite positions are corrupted upon re-boot. This bug is not apparent in the northern hemisphere due to their satellites having at most 2 digits ie. 19.2E In the southern hemisphere, particular Asia / Australia, this patch may be useful. The patch must be invoke prior to enigma starting up and requires a modification to be made to the /var/tuxbox/start_enigma file. This workaround, will only work 100% for Eastern Sats. Western sats will retain there position, however they will restore with an East setting. i.e. 180W will restore as 180E however 156E will restore properly. Installation: ============= - FTP the motorfix10.tar.gz file to your DreamBox /var/tmp directory - telnet into your DreamBox - cd / - gunzip /var/tmp/motorfix10.tar.gz - tar -xvf /var/tmp/motorfix10.tar - This should install one file /var/bin/motorfix. - chmod 755 /var/bin/motorfix (this file should already have these permissions) - Once installed, you will need to modify your /var/tuxbox/start_engima script. Editing start_enigma: ===================== In order for the workaround to execute you will need to modify the /var/tuxbox/start_enigma file. On the second line (after #!/bin/sh) add the following: /var/bin/motorfix save the file and reboot.
