    Default DM 500 no room to install CCcam

    My DM500 says there is not enough room to install CCcam 2.0.5

    I am using PLI iolate Framebuffer (I think)

    I currently have deleted all other Cams except newcamd,

    it used to run with newcamd & CCcam 1.7.1 (or CCcam 2.0.0) no problems,

    I have tried a manual install, but not successful,

    & I reboot from the STB menu,

    are there any more files I can delete somewhere to increase the free space ?

    I remember on Gemini 4.1, I somehow deleted some games & it increased the free space, (but can't remember how I did It)

    Your thoughts appreciated,

    Cheers

    I take it you've tried blue button > software management > remove software?
    If there's nothing else left in the 'remove' list there should be plenty of room for you to install CCcam.

    Do a factory reset and start again.

    Hey OSIRUS

    I run PLi Maxvar with new tuner/framebuffer images, on my clients.

    I install the Matrix Black Basic skin and remove all others.

    Install Cccam 2.0.4.

    Once my channel map is installed it leaves me 54% free in the var.

    U can check under the dreambox setting menu.

    they always run like a dream!

    Cheers James9813

    is it possible to telnet in, and delete the games (if you have any installed by default is'nt tetris/pacman installed), and before reboot/restart download 2.0.5.

    I am not sure if this is is correct, as I seem to recall NOT being able to do this on a 500, i also vaguely remember being able to delete /tmp dir for a lil extra space.

    sorry not very helpful I think I was in the same boat once. buggered if I can recall what I did...

    If you feed ducks at a pond, chances are your bound to feed a goose or two without even knowing it.

    Telnet in & issue the following 2 commands:
    df

    will show you filesystem details - used, free space.

    cd /var
    du -a

    will show you which files and directories are taking up the space.

    Thanks emm, I did a Factory Reset on the Dreambox,

    This removed all configuration data, including bouquets, services, satellite data....etc,

    But left the Image,

    (I have also heard that it is not a good idea to continually re-flash the STB, & it is better to change or re-install the cams)

    It then restarted, & I did a set up from scratch, (just follow the prompts),

    I then installed newcamd 6.10b & config file,

    & then installed CCcam 2.05 & config file,

    & now still have over 25% free space, & running like a new one,

    & it is set up the way I want It

    Thanks emm, worked a treat

    Cheers
