ReadyNAS 104 [6.10.8] - Python 2.7 has disappeared
Hi all, I have a ReadyNAS 104. Last night I checked the dashboard and saw that firmware 6.10.8 was available to install, so I installed it. One of my apps stopped working, and some command-line in...
I have a lot more than that, even in /usr/lib, which makes me think I have in fact installed some extras at some point. Since I'm not using the NAS as a print server anyway, I wonder if I should just force the apt-get to update everything then -- it doesn't matter to me if cups breaks, as long as it isn't going to matter to some app that thinks it needs cups to work.
Thanks for the reply -- would you be able to check what you have in terms of /usr/bin/python* please?

Definitely due to plex. My backup Pro 6 NAS doesn't have Plex installed, and just has this:
