Netgear NAS 104 - Factory reset has lost AVAILABLE APPS

I just performed a factory reset of my Netgear NAS 104 as I'm putting the box up for sale on eBay. However, somehow the AVAILABLE APPS list is now blank. I don't want to sell it will no available apps to the buyer. How do I restore that list?

 

Regards

Barrie

    Note they can all be downloaded from apps.readynas.com, so not really a showstopper.

     

    It can take a little while to the list to populate. 

     

    There are some issues with the Netgear repository for 6.10.8 - updating firmware to 6.10.9 might help them show up again.  

     

    Getting some of them install is another matter.  Debian 8 is now archived/obsolete, and there are some changes that need to be made via ssh to access the old libraries.  The first post here tells you what needs to be changed:

      Many thanks. I manually downloaded 6.10.9 and installed it. Curiously the automatic check for 6.10.9 didn't find anything and told me IU had the latest version 6.10.8. However, installing 6.10.9 resolved the issue and restored my list of installable apps.

        6.10.9 was just released - Netgear generally waits a while before they push out a new update.
