Did you install newcamd? Perhaps it installed along with that?

By the way, me being a Gemini image user: Looking at the Maty's key bundle that one uses to download with Hydra Images, isn't it far too full of older stuff mixed with good stuff and lots of stuff you don't need?? I looked at my fully working image which opens anything possible now with newcamd and the keys and scce are much much emptier than with Mary's...not even close but still works. When I put Marys in it slows the whole thing down.

Very true. No dis to Mary, but it's a sledgehammer to crack a walnut.

I reinstalled the new image and yes, Marys was there with control panel 2, but if you again download new control panel it disappears!
The remaining sites for downloading keys dont appear to work either. They indicate a download, but cam keys remain empty!
I think you are intended to make your own control panel, but I dont know how to do that.

FWIW, I installed this direct into flash.chuckles said:
No crashes yet, even holding down the scroll button on max repeat
Only funny was I had to do the "button on boot flash erase" twice, once before the frontside update, and then again after...otherwise it hung doing the automatic transponder update.
Mary seems to be present but asleep, a click leaves the box locked for 2 mins, until you press LAME. Spartan helped out here though ;)
Does anyone know why the cpanel is now encryted? I can't see any benefit?

I believe it is something the Hydra has implemented to ensure the user does not use a fake Control Panel.

Well, when it was not encrypted and you were able to do a manual d/load of CP and put it in /tmp, it was possible to open files using e.g. TextEdit on Mac and read off the place where all the files (incl Marys) were being dowloaded from. So it was not long before the men in long grey coats were able to lean on the ISP to shut down the site. This encryption makes it easier for th heroes to live longer. The d/load drops a .gz file into /tmp which is immediately unzipped and put where it should be and then all unneeded files deleted.djlemur said:

Sorry haggard, but I just don't buy thathaggard said:
It takes about 10secs to monitor the router (between DB and ISP) to see where the request went, and then manually download the files ;)
And I bet the "MILGC" have got an array of DBox/DreamBox/TripleDragons to allow them to keep at least one eye firmly on the field.
Hmmm, so why not keep the text clear, but add a new tag that has a checksum in it?azamsaghir said:
Personally I would feel safer (in the long run) if folks like the_Hydra, the newcamd team, etc. would publish their source (as they are supposed to under GPL ;)) along with the builds to keep the info "out there" - in a similar way to the DVD code cracks. You never know, it might encourage more folks to see what they can do...
Anyhow (shallow gripes aside), well done to all involved for producing builds like Hydra, Gemini and EMUs like SCAM and Newcamd.
