Maybe verify the SHA 1 checksum of the zip file after you have extracted it from the *.gz ?

10-15-2019 my 3.02Q running Skylark 5.6 crashed last night.
I will be away for a few days, so if it crashes between today and Saturday, there will be no backfeed.
One more âhintâ of problems/solutions ⌠both my dreamcatchers froze last night after
3 days of uptime.

One had this message upon second reboot
Jan 1 00:00:43 othernet1 user.warn ondd[510]: [carousel] invalid signing certificate
and it had some problem with the system messages in log viewer⌠the entires were all
several days old⌠and on re-boot did not show the restart from Jan 1 until a second reboot
Note-- itâs assigned wifi hostname is othernet1
My Dreamcatcher v3.05 crashed at 0531 (around the same time as Jimâs) this morning after being up for 4 hours since its daily programed shut down/reboot. Ken
Iâm surprised after reading about all the crashes. But my old Dreamcatcher 3.02 log is showing âWed Oct 16 13:34:15 UTC 2019 up 12 days, 28 min, load average: 0.98, 1.15, 1.26.â As I stated earlier, this was a fresh install on a new SD card. My old card had failed.
Here is another clue on the freezing v 5.6
Looking at the âwhatâs newâ. There are entries that are NOT being cleared from Whatâs New.
There is a weeks worth of news, messages, weather at the top of the listing , but some entries are real old⌠mostly the wikipedia articles are staying on list forever (not cleaned up weekly)
For example today is 18 October 2019⌠but here is bottom of the whatâs new

I have replaced the DreamCatcher 3.02Q in my permanent installation with a v3.05 running Skylark 5.6. It is available for public view at 136.36.137.45 admin = othernet/j7m*2

10-23-2019 First crash of the 3.05 running Skylark 5.6 occurred around 0430 MDT this morning.
This is a very interesting post - - my DC v3.05 running SK 5.6 crashed about the same time this morning here too. Itâs back up now, but is there something being transmitted causing a problem?? Ken

Unfortunately, my DC v3.05 is experiencing the same problem as Willi @Zebra
Skylark 5.6 or 5.5 wonât work and I have exhausted all my alternatives. I am going back to the DC v3.03 running SK 5.5. Ken
My 3.03 running Skylark 5.6 crashed multiple times. I even wiped the card using SD Card Formatter. The touchscreen worked for a few hours and then stopped. Then the entire thing locked up at random.
I rewiped the card and went back to 5.5. So far, I now have 2 days of uptime. Thatâs with a 4GB OS Card (Kingston) and a 200GB DATA Card (PNY) (formatted with âext4 -O ^has_journalâ).
My thinking now is that all of us who are using Skylark 5.6 in a Dreamcatcher v3.05 start with either a new micro SD card or a completely wiped micro SD card.
Once we are all on the same footing, failures should start to look alike and help Othernet engineers figure out what the problem is. Ken

My Dreamcatcher v3.05 running Skylark 5.6 crashed at 1:06 AM MDT
These crashes are occurring during the APRS downloads. Coincidence?
Interesting - - my DC v3.03 running SK 5.5 didnât fail during the night at 1:06 MDT. I did have to do a Factory Reset on it at 0700 EDT to fix the problem of the Admin Password not working any more (or the default password âothernetâ). Ken
I donât think they coincide with the aprs messages that appear every 10 minutes. I have two dreamcatchers running on 5.6, each with itâs own dish/lnb/coax/power. I canât correlate the freeze with anything yet.
They do not freeze at the same timeâŚ
Skylark 5.7 has been released. Please upgrade and switch to the 5.7 thread.
