I am trying to replace these files on my DSM installed MyCloud Gen1.
I have downloaded the files I need to upload/overwrite.
I have WINscp installed and connected via SCP protocol and have located the files on the MYCloud box.
When I try to copy over the replacements I get an error that I do not have the rights to overwrite the files. I have logged on with my Admin username and password.
Admin - not a superuser.
Use sudo su for switch to root account. then - unpack these files by tar xvf archive.tar.gz -C / (Flag “-C” - set output/extract folder)
I have a WDMC Gen2 and I’d like to switch to Debian/OMV
One of the prerequisites is “Copy uImage, uRamdisk and rootfs-jessie.tar.xz to /boot/boot (Overwrite all)”… I don’t know how and where to put these files. Is it on sda3? How do I copy files to it? Sorry, I can see how dumb of a question that is, but maybe one would be as kind to help me with that
Also, I suppose rootfs-jessie.tar.xz is interchangable with jessie-rootfs.tar.gz?
@CHRIS_TOPH First copy the files in a shared folder using Windows to the NAS (like you would normally add files to it), e.g. to the “Public” folder.
Then login using SSH to the NAS.
Then locate the path where the files you copied before are stored, I dont recall the exact path anymore (maybe /shares/Public/)?
Assuming the files are in /shares/Public/…
cd /shares/Public
mv uImage uRamdisk rootfs-jessie.tar.xz /boot/boot/
If /shares/Public/ should not exist, then try to find the file “rootfs-jessie.tar.xz” with the following command:
cd /
find . -name "rootfs-jessie.tar.xz"
It then should find the file and show you the exact path.
Hi @Fox_exe,
I’m trying to build the latest kernel 5.7 with nf_tables support, but I would like to test it first before I put it on my device
i’m trying to setup a virtual machine to test the kernel with QEMU but not getting close
unpacked your jessie rotfs in to an img file and with the kernel and ramdisk i’m trying to start qemu with the following syntax
Hi all,
I have a WDMC Gen1 and I’ve followed @Fox_exe’s instructions for Clean Debian with autoinstall. It was working up initially but I think I have bricked myself as I can’t access it via SSH / WebUI. Telnet is not working as well even though I do get a green LED.
It runs smooth but i got some Errors and cant apply changes in some Paketes like Firewall, NTP or Email notifications.
Do i need to install some extra programms to make it run properly ?
and is there a way to upgrade the kernel ? If i try it with :
Just touching on this now and am stuck, looking for some help. I can safely get CleanDebian Jesse up and running just fine but running the upgrade script or apt full-upgrade to get to Buster or Stretch runs fine until it hangs on Installing new version of config file /etc/udev/udev.conf. It becomes unresponsive at that point, responding to pings but no new ssh sessions and will not let me Ctrl+C out of it.
Hard rebooting with a power pull means it never comes back or responds and I’ve got to dd the image files again to get back to stock, then back to Jessie.
I’ve done it several times and selected both options at the Package distributor has shipped an updated version prompt with identical results.
Any hopes here, or should I just run Jessie until the hardware dies? My other option is just shucking the drive for some other project entirely.
@Fox_exe I have no linux background and trying to upgrade debian on MyCloud 6TB gen 1.
I tried clean debian with autoinstall and it got completed and said reboot to use. But, did not get rebooted automatically. so I had to unplug and replug. But, My MyCloud is not working… it shows white/yellow light on when I switch it on.
I want latest Debian and SMB on myCloud 6TB Gen 1 and if possible OMV or NextCloud on it.
@TheSuperKnot. I am stuck with upgrading to Jessie from the original latest firmware. MyCloud 6TB Gen2 is not working. It just shows white light and not available on the network. How do i fix it or go back to original state without opening it?
