OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

Has anyone been able to get their OLEDs to turn off or dim out on Ultras or Pros?

It should happen automatically on the Ultras. For Pro, currently must be done manually, with "echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/rn_lcd/rn_lcd0/lcd_backlight".

That DOES work, AWESOME! I can't believe that no one has asked that question before. I've been staring at that damn display for almost 10 months now, I can't believe the fix was as simple as that.

Thanks Skywalker! :thumbsup:

Yes the scripting echo is only way on Pro 6. Here is my script with an auto dim and scroll of info. Undim with backup button hold.

Wow, don't I feel silly now. I guess that's what I get for not reading EVERY SINGLE POST in this thread from beginning to end :oops:

For Iridabike: Thanks for contributing the proceeding script! It looks pretty sweet. Would you mind sharing a few more details on implementation? For those of us NON-Linux command line gurus, what would be your recommendation as where in the file system (path) and how to "make it GO" some time after boot up, etc.

Thanks in advance!

Iridabike works great on my Pro. Thanks a million!

Yet folks at Netgear are putting the word on the street via various channels that this old, outdated legacy hardware that is still being sold is incompatible with OS6. So is there some type of marketing and sales initiative internally that has deemed it incompatible or are there other reasons why Netgear can't go the 1% to make sure that what is still being sold is supported? Money talks b***s**t walks Here is your reason. You can always edit apt source->install the original wheezy kernel with webmin or openmediavault and call it a day ;)

B**ls**t is not providing compatibility out of the box leaving every NAS owner to need to know what you're talking about and having to deal with every upgrade potentially having problems. People can always choose to buy a new NAS for their home and business and it seems that competitors are being featured everywhere I turn.

For ACTIS

I start mylcd script at startup. To learn how to do this type of thing take a look here:

https://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28

/T

I decided to run the OLED script provided by Iridabike as a service on my Pro and noticed that the OLED never turns off and the script does not work when pressing the backup button.

Here is the output after setting the the lcd.sh script in /etc/init.d/ as a service:

root@READYNASPRO:

update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header

What should the script header be set too? I have tried both #!/bin/bash and #!/bin/sh. I have also set permissions at 755.

Should I remove the invocations on the scripts pointing to either the sh or bash interpreters as I also have an error on the wolset.sh with an incomplete LSB comment? Is it because these scripts (i.e. wolset.sh and the lcd.sh script provided by Iridabike) are non Debian scripts as they have comments starting with pound signs? I am trying to debug as best as possible.
