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

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?

Will have to try that next.

As the problem remains still. :(

A firmware re-install requires powering down the NAS and using a paperclip. Installing firmware over the top of itself via Frontview is not a true firmware re-install. It may fix some problems, but not as many.

Yes, I know that. I think I said as much in the OP. Unfortunately it looks like I'm running out of options though so will have to relent and get the ladders out. :evil:

Ok, will do. Thanks.

How likely though is that they could all be corrupt, in reality? I've tried about 6-7 addons from my PC/Laptop backups, and about the same number of addons that I have redownloaded either via HTTP and/or Wget and saved them to the NAS to eliminate the laptop.

Assuming all of your hardware is good, it's very unlikely. Unfortunately, that's not always a valid assumption.

Do I need to install anything on the Duo?

Wouldn't I normally do...?

cd backup
md5sum ReadyNAS_Photos_2.2.bin

But I'm not getting any further output?

If something is messed up e.g. with the permissions in the /tmp folder, I believe it's possible all add-ons may refuse to install with that error message. I think the /tmp permissions looked alright above. Also remember that NetGear doesn't test community add-ons so if you run some of those there could be unexpected problems related to your selection of those that you are running. There could be a problem caused by a community add-on not doing something right.

Usually a reboot, a firmware re-install with a paperclip and/or cleaning the /tmp folder (removing files no longer needed in there and ensuring correct permissions are set) would resolve the issue, I think.

No need to install anything else, but don't forget the slash (unless you already did a "cd /"). You need to do e.g.


cd /backup
ls -la
md5sum ReadyNAS_Photos_2.2.bin

The ls command allows you to double check the file is there and get the case of what you type in correct.

You should be getting something like this:

april:~# md5sum ReadyNAS_Photos_2.2.bin
370c1041a2e4e064038dac3c069a9511 ReadyNAS_Photos_2.2.bin

Go ahead and send me the logs and I'll take a look. Also, attach the addon just in case that might be useful.

Thanks, thats what I thought, but as it was just going back the prompt I wondered if perhaps I was missing something.

Will send you the logs now.

Argh! Ok, now can't get the logs either! I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error eventually, when trying to download them.

Can I get what you need manually?

If you can get me the contents of /var/log, that would be great. If tar is misbehaving, I can probably get by with just /var/log/messages.
