Thema: Amiko Alien 2 freezing

Hello,

I'm new to this but finding the Amiko Alien 2 pretty much unuseable as a PVR. Both Spark and Enigma 2 seem to be buggy. OpenATV seems decent but I keep getting the endless spinner with the STB completely unresponsive although the TV picture is still active. The log tells me this as the last entry:


main thread is non-idle! display spinner!
[EPGC] start caching events(1419321641)
[EPGC] nownext finished(1419321648)
[EPGC] schedule finished(1419321668)
[EPGC] schedule other finished(1419321738)
[EPGC] stop caching events(1419321738)
[EPGC] next update in 60 min


Can any kind person help me with this?

Better you post the whole logfile /var/log/messages and /var/log/dmesg

Hi,

I had the same problem. My box did not have enough RAM and then crashed.

Try to work with a SWAP-Partition. You can use the gparted Live-Linux distribution to create one. Do not try to solve the problem with a linux swap-file. This produced hangers...

Here you can find instructions to put a swap-partition to your harddisk:

GParted -- Live CD/USB/PXE/HD

Thank you.

There's a lot of information in these files:

This is dmesg:
