Repository with software worked on v4 firmware

Every time i am trying to install transmission i am getting this error “no such file or directory” Please help someone give me idea what should i do?

Please help me out with this?

The “no such file or directory” is telling you the answer. Have you checked to ensure the directory (“/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon”) actually exists? If not have you created it, then rerun the Transmission installation routine? If the directory exists have you given it the proper permissions (if necessary)?

Thanks a lot for your reply how to create and what will be command will you help me with it please i am new to this…?

Fox_exe- If your 64k packages for wheezy are still updated, would you or anyone be able to include the Zram module for kernel 3.2 for download right here or in your 64k wheezy repository? That would be amazing.

Hi there, can you please give me specific instructions step by step on how to install Transmission on my 1st gen WD MyCloud, including any chroot installs. I’ve tried a few times now but it keeps failing at one section and I have to reload my firmware. I’m sure I’m missing a step somewhere…

Thanks!

I’ve just done that myself last weekend so will try to post up what I think I had to do, first time I’ve used SSH or Linux so apologies if I miss anything:

Installed CHRoot per the below:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_6OlQ_H0PxVVHJkV3Jpb254MWc

Install:

1. Upload chroot-j64k.sh to “Public” folder

2. Enable “SSH Access” in web interace (copy password. User - root)

3. Connect via SSH to wdmc (Use PuTTY tool) and run (type) this:

chmod a+x /shares/Public/chroot-j64k.sh
/shares/Public/chroot-j64k.sh

After installing run this for enable autostart:

/DataVolume/debian/chroot_debian.sh install

To update anything I had to do this to get DNS servers (at system, not chroot):

cp /etc/resolv.conf /DataVolume/debian/etc/

Tips

Go inside chroot:

chroot /DataVolume/debian /bin/bash

Exit chroot

exit

Then followed some of the instructions here:

Inside chroot:

apt-get install transmission-daemon

Stop Transmission so you can edit the settings.json file

/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop
Disable the dashboard login
sed -i ‘s/“rpc-authentication-required”: true,/“rpc-authentication-required”: false,/g’ /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
Disable the RPC whitelist so you can access the Transmission GUI
sed -i ‘s/“rpc-whitelist-enabled”: true,/“rpc-whitelist-enabled”: false,/g’ /etc/transmission
Start Transmission
/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start

Login to the Transmission GUI
your mycloud ip or network name :9091
Click the wrench icon on the bottom left
In the Download To box enter /DataVolume/shares/Public/Transmission or any share on your MyCloud

Check out the inks for full details but I think the above is what got me there.

Thanks so much, will give it a try!

Hi

Any chance to add btsync or resilo to repo? Or any suggestion to add autoboot script for fw 4+?
thanks

Add whatever boot stuff you need to user-start

/CacheVolume/user-start, or the symbolic link /etc/rc2.d/S98user-start

For example:

Any plans to add the latest minidlna 1.2.0 ? I’m sick of the rigamarole downloading from nazar’s server. :roll_eyes:

Is Aria2 still supported? I can’t find it on the repo link at the top and I get the below when trying to install it:

Chroot:~# apt-get install aria2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package aria2

If you want to install LEMP (Nginx, php5, Mysql), you can find all needed 64k .deb packages
HERE, and also ask for another packages

Oddly I’ve just had the same problem after a firmware upgrade and had no idea how my instructions fixed it! I figure it had knocked off the mounts and had to do the below to get it remounted:

cd /mnt/arch # or where you are preparing the chroot dir

mount -t proc proc proc/
mount -t sysfs sys sys/
mount -o bind /dev dev/

Can you add aria2 to repo?

Good morning

First thank you for your work - I have used several packages from this repo and they definitely help make my clouds way more useful to me.

I would like to know if it’s possible to add truecrypt or it’s replacement veracrypt to the repository.

I have truecrypt working under Ubuntu quite nicely and it would be nice to add the same functionality to my myCloud.
