Troubleshooting

Your scope can always be recovered as long as you have the image from the Installation: the worst case is writing it to a card again.

What you see What to do
The stock system starts instead of OOS One-shot mode, or the loader refused OOS. Check with boot/switch.py show, then select OOS again
Start-up screen stops at a step Read the step on the screen. Logs are in /tmp/oos-boot.status and /tmp/oos-cold.log over telnet
"Start-up stopped" after a quick restart OOS needs a real power cycle: off at the mains, wait 30 seconds
A new build misbehaves System > Roll back update
Analyser view will not go away The three dots at the top right, then Exit
Rigol logo stays on every start, or a black screen See If something goes wrong
Ethernet at 10 Mbit/s after a cold start, 100 after replugging From 0.1.6 OOS negotiates again by itself; else replug. Please report it with /tmp/oos-ui.log
Files dated 2013 The scope has no clock battery: System > Date and time (from 0.1.6)
The web remote makes the scope's screen slow Fixed in 0.1.6
An update from 0.1.6 says the image brings another device tree Install 0.1.7 first, then the latest (Updates and Going Back)
Nothing helps Write your card image to the second card again

A start with an overclock that does not finish sets the setting aside by itself.

When you report a problem, please add the build from System > About OOS and /tmp/oos-boot.status.
