how to manually remove subsonic on readynas 314
for some reason subsonic stopped working, admin page not working, and I need to remove it. when removing from apps page it hags a bit then refreshes and app still shows installed.
will deleting (or renaming) the app/subsonic directory then restarting NAS (readnas 314) force the system to treat it as uninstalled thereby letting me install fresh?
I think it happened due to me trying to manually update to latest version and somehow messing that up.
another oddity, even though it shows installed it ALSO shows under available apps and clicking install creates 2 entries under instaled app section, and none of them actually work.

Are you comfortable with the implications of enabling SSH and with using that?
I am having a similar issue with the 314. After the recent firmware update my Subsonic started not working with the Android app so I thought reinstalling it might do some good. When I go to remove it I just hangs for a long time and then still shows as installed. When I try to turn it on though it turns on for 1 second and turns itself back off. When I login through SSH and try to uninstall it with apt-get or dpkg it just says there is nothing installed. dpkg -l does not list it and apt-get --purge remove subsonic finds nothing either. I may have made the same mistake that you did and instaled subsonic through apt thinking this would resolve the issue but it did not. I also tried an OS reinstall but no dice. I am wondering if I just delete the /var/subsonic directory if that would solve the issue but I don't want to make things worse. I am comfortable in the command line but I don't want to go mucking around in the system files to try to figure out what is going on. Is there someway to force install the original package in the command line?
UPDATE: I manually installed Poussin's latest version of Subsonic from the community dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ie9pwk1wut72ias/p6_X2QeOIC) and it came back! This works unlike the standard .deb subsonic file, I just didn't know where to find these files. Updating Subconic also resolved the connection issue I was having with my Android app and the Subsonic server.
