Around Chirstmas time, I bought 2 Jogglers.
After initial learning curve, I got them both set up well and the family were enjoying them.
Things have declined since then. :-( No one touchest them any more because they are both so unreliable.
Sometimes the display is just very unresponsive. Sometimes connecting to the server is irratic. Often, the jogglers will just crash. Sometimes with a frozen screen, but most often back to the command prompt.
They are both running Ubuntu 18.04.4 with nothing installed except Squeezeplay (https://birdslikewires.net/debian-for-openframe).
The OS is running from a mini USB stick on both Jogglers. I have tried different USB sticks, so I don't think that there's a problem there.
When playing music, they seem to crash every few minutes. Maybe between 5 and 30 minutes sessions.
The Joggler seems to get fairly warm, but not what you'd describe as 'hot'.
Is there anything I can do, or is it just the sign of ageing tech that needs to be retired?
I've heard Jivelite recommended, but a quick attempt with that left the device seemingly unable to find the server. I'm not sure if there are settings that need to be changed somewhere to sort that.
Do any of you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Damian
