I was trying to get RN Photos working a few days/weeks ago, but in doing so hit a problem. Namely this:Uploaded with ImageShack.usI had some time today, so sat down to look at this again, but it seems I'm getting this error on all addons I try to install? (Yes, I'm trying to install SPARC based addons)AFAICT, everything is working fine. Backups run, NZBGET runs, I can access via Frontview, FTP, SCP, and Explorer. Print jobs run fine too.I've disabled pretty much all I can in Frontview, same error still appears.I've tried to reinstall the 4.17FW but as expected now, the same error appears. (Via Frontview this is.)I have yet to try a push of the reset button on the rear, with the 5 second press of the power button. (I'm guessing this performs the same task as a Frontview FW install?) Physically access to the device is not easy, and I only want to go down this route if absolutely necessary.I have SSH access. Advice and tips welcome please! :)Apologies if this is in the wrong section, I wasn't sure where it should be.

Your NAS does not think it's x86.The add-on file may be incomplete or corrupt. Try downloading it via SSH using wget, copying it to your client computer then installing it via Frontview.cd /c/backupwget addon_URLSo you've tried rebooting the NAS?What's the output of the following:ls -la /tmp

The error is what I've posted above.

It seems you may be trying to update to 4.1.7 at the moment. You can't install any add-ons when you're updating the NAS firmware.What does the following look like?:ls -la /Also is there anything in the /tmp/addons folder?

Well I'd suggest you docd /tmprm RAIDiator-4.1.7rm update_filechmod 1777 /tmpchown admin:admin /tmpThen I'd reboot the unit using Frontview and then attempt to install the add-on again (I'd suggest downloading the add-on using wget).

Strange issue. My Sparc unit thinks it's an x86?

Thanks for the logs. I don't see any real indication of a hardware problem, but at the very least there is a problem with md5sum. I'd suggest doing an OS reinstall and running a volume check just to be sure. FYI, the addon you attached to the logs checked out fine.

Does /usr/bin/awk exist and set executable? I saw a system missing that once, which caused firmware/addon updates to fail install, since the md5sum gets piped to that.

Thanks Ewok. And thanks for confirming I was not indeed going nuts. :D

/usr/bin/awk is a symlink, right?
/etc/alternatives/awk

Which points to another symlink.
/usr/bin/mawk

OS Reinstall seems to have solved this now. I managed to install the Photo's App again tonight, so it's looking like, this issue at least, is now resolved.

However the original Photos problem still remains, which is what began all this hassle in the first place.

Thanks anyway to Ewok et al for the guidance.
