Change clock font on Nokia dbox2

[dbox_girl]

Hi guys, i hope you can help out a damsel in mild distress

Have just aquired my second Nokia dbox2 and all's good and well signal/image wise, i just have this bloody horrible clock font on the lcd display i'm desperate to get rid of. It's like a childs scribbling or something... legible, but scruffy as ar$es!

Please could you tell me wher in the DIR or / or root i could change it? (Sorry if thats wrong, i'm hazarding a guess)
I am a relative newbie to them so laymens terms much appreciated.
I actually don't have an FTP cable or X over. TBH i dont even know what to do if i had them! Am kinda hoping it can be altered from just the box menu's with the remote.


Many thanks in advance

xx

EDIT: I'm running Pacino Trilogy

Try swapping the clock.conf file in var/tuxbox/config with the one from your other box. You will need a crossover cable and a FTP programme, try SmartFTP, google it, it's free and simple to use.

Thanks for your help hun

My old box is dead unfortunately. I spilt water on it, not good so can't get clock font file from the other box. Do you think if i scour the net for some clock config. files i should be able to find some there i could use?

Ok then, am off to buy a crossover cable thnn will google the programme

Thanks again for your help on this

Someone must have modded the original image!!

Download the image again or another one like Blade Quad or lincsat beta 6 and reflash your box.

You could also download a programme called new tuxflash tool, this will let you open up any image and let you copy files to your PC desktop for uploading to your box.

Hi again Rodboy I now have my crossover cable, IFA installed and the blade quad image ready to go. And have been trying to follow your IFA guide. However..

I have disabled network and turned off firewall but I dont know where to do this : set Local Area Connection network IP to 192.168.0.201

I can't find it on my PC, and i can't find an IP address on the dbox's options
And when you say: select network device ( there should only be one available )
I have 3 (Bluetooth/inter pro wireless/realtek fast ethernet) So its not even found the crossover i dont think?

I have connected the cross over cable into the back of the dbox and into my laptop is this corect

I am such a bloody newbie, so sorry if this is painfully simple, all i want is to learn to flash a new image and found your step by step guide which i'm sure is great. It's just me

Please could i ask what to do and where i'm going wrong. I thought it'd be plug in and an right here i'd see the dbox files on my PC I'm pretty stumped

Thank you very much

On the D Box pus
D box
Settings
Network=Thats the ip of the D Box

Pc Push(windows) Start
Settings
Network connections =Double click
choose the Network your going to use ,Disable others
Right click,Select Properties
Scroll to the Bottom one =Internet protocol=Double click
Select use the following ip adress it needs to be one below your D box
Click ok
Subnet will auto fill in
You should now be able to connect to your box Via ftp
With IFA it will still connect But above is not Nessasary with IFA.....
The connection you need will be realtec fast Inthernet connection i would expect.........Good Luck .....Paul

All sorted I installed FlashFXP and darrenm72's guide on here (thank you!) and i'm now sucessfully running Blade Quad!!! Nicer picture quality and much less freezes. Plus my original problem of the clock font is all fixed tooooo! Had to use my backed up bouquets and services to get channels though.

Thanks for everyones help. I feel relieved and not such much of a dumb blonde now i've managed to suss it!
