TODO: I would like to get SSL Certificates working… Any help would be appreciated :slight_smile:

Comment out the wheezy sources with nano by putting a # in front of the line containing wheezy repos

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Hit control and o

Hit enter

Hit control and x

This will save your edited file

Example of a good sources.list

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main

Remove the package references to the firmware

rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/wd-nas.*

 Update your sources

apt-get update

 Install Mumble Server

apt-get install mumble-server

Now we need to edit the mumble server settings

nano /etc/mumble-server.ini

 You need to find the following and add a SECURE password

# Password to join server
serverpassword=
