DM/VU Boxes - Howto: Create boot log or log (only for advanced users)

How to create a bootlog

First you need a
- mini USB cable and a PC / laptop
- A tool for logging, for example putty , Tera Term , or the Windows software Hyper Terminal
- the VCP Driver for detecting the interface
1. Shut down the Dreambox Properly (deep standby)
2. Turn off the power switch on the back of the Dreambox
3. Connect the Dreambox (service jack on the back) to a PC / laptop
4. Install the VCP Driver and looks in the device manager under Connections (COM port) if a new COM port entry can be seen (USB to UART Bridge)
5. Start the desired tool for logging and set up the interface

the example putty

Select menu item "Connection -> Serial" and set the correct COM port (previously seen in Device Manager)
Set speed to 115200
Data bits gets the value 8
Stop bits the value 1
Set parity to NONE
Menpünkt "session-> Logging" Select the right value "All session output" and the file
Final press the button "Open"

6. Last but not least you switched on your Dreambox back again the power switch
7. When everything is working properly should now be the window to fill in the black window putty (example) with many entries (the log is written)

How do I log during operation?

- You need a network cable
- A tool like telnet

1. Determining the IP address of the receiver: Main menu -> Settings -> Network -> Network Settings
2. Call telnet on the PC / laptop (usually already in Windows): Start menu -> Search / Execute and there telnet < IP address> ie telnet 192.168.100.200
3. There you will be asked for username: Username is root : Password is only asked if assigned
4a. In telnet, execute the following command from journalctl -fu enigma2

Everything is now logged in the telnet window

4b. Alternatively you can write the log output to a file. The command here would be journalctl -f -u enigma2> /tmp/enigma2.log
Of course you can specify another path like the harddisk / media / hdd

Instead of the telnet window, the output is written to the file under / tmp / enigma2
