Did you try to update your sources.list with your extra repo? Check your repos? Is it listed therre?
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
If it is there did you update your repos?
apt-get update
Did it work or not?
This is how to add a repo and update…
>> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
Then add the repo in that you want the same way as above. Then you will need to update all your packages.
apt-get update
I couldn’t find any armhf repository for Plex so I cannot test them.
All that I found have binaryes only for x86 machines.
Plex Media dont have ARM builds (Official).
But we can use binarys for raspberyPI or Cubieboard (Unofficial).
Go to google…
First of all, thanks @Fox_exe for this procedure and all the great files. I love it when there are open alternatives to hardware.
– Fox_exe, or anyone else that has installed this successfully.
I am trying to perform the clean Debian installation and having an issue getting started, I am comfortable in Linux but not an expert. I understand the risk and am willing to take them, I just need a couple quesitons answered.
Do I:
A) Telnet into the MyCloud and perform all the steps there as shown in the ‘Howto create you own rootfs.txt’ file?
B) Or do I need to do this on another Linux installation then dd that over to the MyCloud device?
If I use the clean install (Howto create you own rootfs.txt) procedure on your Google Drive does that preserve my current firmware\linux installation and it is possible to switch back and forth between the two? If not what is the best procedure to perform a backup for the current firmware, and easily restore if something goes sideways?
Lastly; is this still running well for those that have successfully installed this? Any lingering issues that might be show stoppers?
Thanks,
–Jim
Hello again,
I am trying to find if there is any way to install the clean debian without open the case of my cloud.
I found this
http://seagrief.co.uk/2010/02/installing-debian-via-ssh/
my knowledges to linux is very basic but i think that this way can be adopted to create a minimal debian system at the swap partition of the wd mycloud and then we can write the images that is provided to us from Fox_exe to the wd mycloud.
What are you thinking about this?
I think that the only minus is that you have to erase all the data in the system
Thank you

I cnown better methods, include official FW update and one thing with RamFS…
But i lazy
Can anyone please advise on the following?
ISSUE 1 - Whenever I issue an “halt -p” command the green led still stays on. I mean, after shutdown the green led stays ON.
Is anyone else experiencing this behaviour?
ISSUE 2 - While installing OMV (over debian clean 3) I end up with the below. This is likely related with me installing minidlna from SID prior :/ Minor problem.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openmediavault : Depends: nfs-kernel-server but it is not going to be installed
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nfs-kernel-server : Depends: libtirpc1 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: nfs-common (= 1:1.2.6-4) but it is not going to be
I am very much an English speaker.
I have OMV running on my WD My Cloud.
Extract the package you will need the 3 files. I just put them on the Desktop for ease of use.
It was pretty simple.
Remove the Drive from the enclouser.
You need a SATA to USB device.
Connect your drive via device to a linux computer.
What you need to do now is dump the rootfs.img to /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2
This is done with the unix dd command, thought I prefer dc3dd it gives more feedback. Here is an example
dd if=/root/Desktop/rootfs.img of=/dev/sdb1
dd if=/root/Desktop/rootfs.img of=/dev/sdb2
dd if=/root/Desktop/kernel.img of=/dev/sdb5
dd if=/root/Desktop/config.img of=/dev/sdb7 <— this is needed if you are using the OMV version other wise you won’t be able to login.
Then put your drive back together and boot it up. Give it about a minute and you will see a green light.
Then you need to do a few things.
ssh via root@wddriveip
password: mycloud
passwd ← change your password
First change your language:
apt-get install fake-hwclock
dpkg-reconfigure locales
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Things should be in a more workable state.
Now just point to you WD Cloud’s IP address and you will load up the Web GUI.
User: admin
Password: mycloud
You may want to change the time in OMV also.
Now, here are the issues I am having and I hope someone can give some insight on this. I am not able to modify the /etc/apt/sources.list the file is write protected unless I am root. But this is very confusing because when I ssh into the drive I am root. I need to change the sources from Russian to English.

You can change the sources only before installing the OMV when starting with the Clean Debian image. After you install OMV the file will be locked and you need to use
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mysources.list
or any other name, but the file must be located in that directory.
Try this:
chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list
chmod 644 /etc/apt/sources.list
* Updated first post - more useful info.

Running the commands below, I still wasn’t allowed to edit the sources.list file.
chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list
chmod 644 /etc/apt/sources.list
I found a solution that worked for me for the issues of not being able to edit sources.list here:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/117535/cant-edit-sources-list-as-root
I ran this command to remove the immutible flag:
chattr -i /etc/apt/sources.list
After editing the sources.list file I ran:
chattr +i /etc/apt/sources.list
Solution for collectd issue
Add the following line to /etc/hosts :
127.0.1.1 MyCloud.localdomain MyCloud
Tip from: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,13630
The absence of this line may eventually also explain some warnings I noticed saying something about the hostname not being properly set or so (forgot the exact messages) and an issue I had with the NAS not being properly recognized using name as address on my LAN.
Hi Fox
Thanks for your great work 
Now the Cloud is running perfect and quickly with Nginx & Seafile and Caldav/Cardav.
I have two problems, maybe you can help me?
I’m looking for a module bcmdhd.ko , i will try to install an Wifi USB Stick. It runs on Cubietruck perfectly
Could you tell me, where i can found it or how can i compile it?
Samba4 doesnt work, Samba3 is o.k.
I hat downlad and extract exact after instructions here, but dosnt work.
Thanks in advance!
I compile this module for you later (If it present in kernel).
Samba 4 works, but crashes. I update instruction and bins later.

I have tried but it is stuck for about 20 hours now in a red blinking light
unfortunally there is a typo in the script at line 20 (red and not yellow) so i am not sure in which phase it is now.
I cant conect with the ssh, i got the message “Connection refused”,
Any suggestions? Do you think that is better to wait?
thanks :smiley:

Do a shutdown to test. The led should go off. It will take another 30 sec for the HDD to be powered off.
Thanks for sharing. Working fine here.
