Hi all,
We've identified a potential problem in our controller firmware's
network stack, and we'd like to enlist some help testing the issue from
whoever is able to. The problem is only triggered when your internet
connection is poor enough to have corrupted packets, and we would like
to see how many of our users are experiencing these sorts of
conditions.
Using any of the official nightly builds of the jive firmware (such as
the ones automatically offered to you by SqueezeCenter or
SqueezeNetwork), you'll need to follow these steps:
- Insert an SD card into your controller (the slot is in the back -
remove the battery) and power it back on.
- Enable "Remote Login" on your Controller. This is in the
"Settings" -> "Advanced" -> "Remote Login" menu.
- Using an ssh client on your home PC/mac/linux machine, log into the
controller as directed on the controller screen with the username
"root" and password "1234". (if you don't know what an ssh client is
or how to use it, see detailed instructions for this step at the
bottom of this post)
- On the command prompt, type the following commands:
Code:
--------------------
cd /mnt/mmc
wget http://www.beta.squeezenetwork.com/static/firmware/jive.bin
unzip jive.bin
--------------------
If everything went ok, the output of unzip should look roughly like
this:
Code:
--------------------
Archive: jive.bin
extracting: jive.version
inflating: upgrade.md5
inflating: zImage-P7
inflating: root.cramfs
--------------------
If you experienced the bug, your output will include some error
messages, something more like this:
Code:
--------------------
Archive: jive.bin
inflating: jive.version
inflating: upgrade.md5
inflating: zImage-P7
unzip: invalid compressed data--crc error
inflating: root.cramfs
unzip: invalid compressed data--crc error
--------------------
The error messages can vary a bit, any error messages are a bad sign.
If everyone who gives this a shot could please post back here and let
us know if you got any errors or not it would be a big help. The
success reports help us get some statistics on the issue. If you got
an error it would be even more helpful if you could give us your
approximate geographic location (US/Canadian state/province, or just
your country for non-US users), what ISP you use, what kind of internet
connection you have, etc.
Thanks everyone,

SSH Help:
If you don't know what an ssh client is or how to use it, here's some
instructions for you:
Mac and Linux users:
You have an ssh client built-in to your operating system. Open a
terminal window and type
Code:
--------------------
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
--------------------
(but replace the "192.168.0.111" with the IP address given by your
controller when you enabled remote login).
Windows users:
You will need to download an SSH client to use and follow its
instructions for connecting. A popular free one is PuTTY. To obtain
PuTTY, go to this download page:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and
download the file putty.exe and run it.
