I tried to get OSC going while working last night and when I turned the board on, it wants to load in Hog 4 PC mode? WHat did I do wrong and how do I get my board back up???
What exactly is your setup?
Console SW version....you mention Fixture Link....are you using ArtNet or sACN?
Not sure what you mean by "H4PC" mode....there is no such mode as far as I'm aware on a FB4.....
Try disconnecting everything and power off the desk and restart with nothing connected....this will be the best place to start figuring out where your problem lies.
Ok so I have the FullBoar 4 (1.1.1 i think) with a super widget and using the 4 DMX outs on back (5 universe totals).. Last night I tried to setup OSC through hognet and was unsuccessful.. So I gave up, when I loaded show today, it loads up on one screen and has sizable windows and says HOG4PC on the windows with the virtual console on screen..Under Wings, it says Console None and Not Connected and doesnt give me an option to choose anything. Forgive my beginners state, Im just confused.. Im a recent transfer from gma nightmare.. Ive been on hog3 for a year and now hog4 for about 3 months..

You have somehow managed to disable or corrupt eth0.
Use Launcher->Control Panel->Hognet to change network settings.
This all assumes you have not suffered hardware failure (very unlikely).
But shouldn´t a full install restore it to the defaults?!
Will the lights go on even if the eth0 suffers a hardware failure?
One would think...I'm not sure about the lights. I've been told this particular unit has shipped back.

Is your desk running correctly?
If you get a GUI front panel when launching a show on RH4, FB4 or H4 that means the system did not see the front panel.
I would make sure all wires are fully seated and then re-boot the desk.
That was weird.. And Im still uncertain what the hell happened..Im just happy that HES was on the phone trouble shooting with me the whole time and once we hit a brickwall, they overnighted another board.. Who else does that shit these days.. Kudos to their support.. I eventually had to run the show that night in the state it was.. One screen.. no playback, program abilities on board, no internal DMX universes, just me a tiny instance of hog4 PC and a working super widget..

Hope this helps.
or better question: is it possible to install the pc msi file to the full boar?
Or make yourself a bootable-stick and re-install the whole software.
When doing this the HDD gets formated and show data is lost....
1.2.1 is the actual version
when you connect something to the network ports, switch or so, are there any lights going on on the hog-net and fixture-link ports?
No, you cannot run a microsoft installer (.msi) on Linux.
However, if there are problems with eth0 then yes it will think it is a H4PC.
