Hi Carl,
Very much appreciated, thanks.
On what NAS did you install Crashplan and what OS are you running? I am still on OS4 and I cannot install Xorg - I have a feeling that the software is set to check on the ReadyNas website and Xorg is not available on that OS? But my Linux is just basic.

AH, that could be a problem! I am running OS 6.9.3, but on ancient hardware: A ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus that I bought almost 8 years ago. Never regretted the upgrade to OS 6, but storing all your data off the system while you reformat to OS 6 can be a pain.
FWIW, my /etc/apt/sources.list is:
deb http://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos 6.9.3 updates apps main deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian jessie main deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main

Thank you! I didn't even know how to change the sources.
I guess it's time to update but as you say it's difficult to park the several TB's of data while I wipe and reinstall! Maybe I'll find a way.
I'll keep you posted, thanks for your help in the meantime!

My pleasure. If you (or anyone else coming across this thread) could use help at a level below key-for-key instructions, I'm happy to offer it!

Thanks CarlEdman for your feedback! With some struggles I was able to got it working on my ReadyNas Ultra 6 with firmware 6.9.3.
In order to help the others I will add the steps that I had to perform in addition to the steps that CarlEdman supplied:
1) Removed line "DISPLAY=localhost:10.0" in ~/.bashrc. For some reason localhost was not resolving. Therefore I performed step 2. 2) ran echo "DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:10.0" >> ~/.bashrc 3) ran apt-get install libgtk-3-0 4) ran apt-get install libxss1 5) ran apt-get install libgconf-2-4
After these actions no errors where reported anymore in ~/.code42/logs/ui_error.log.
I hope this helps anyone else in getting it working.
