Trying to install Spotty - need assistance with SSH please
HI there;
I've recently updated from Legacy to 6.7.5 and am enjoying the new lease of life its given my readynas.
I'm running the almost latest build of Logitech Media Server (LMS) and was annoyed to see that Spotify was no longer supporting so I have been trying to install SPOTTY as an alernative plugin to the official one. It needs Perl module support, so I've dutifully enabled SSH and carefully ventured into trying to use apt-get to install the packages. Now I'm pretty new to this, but have read up on as much as I could. On access SSH via the admin root account I'm having little success, getting the following:
W: chmod 0700 of directory /var/lib/apt/lists/partial failed - SetupAPTPartialDirectory (1: Operation not permitted)
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin - RemoveCaches (13: Permission denied)
W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin - RemoveCaches (13: Permission denied)
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
After plenty of searches, it seems errors like this imply that either a process is locking out access or the account doesn't have permissions. If this is the case, what on earth is locking the process (and what is the safe way to stop the offending service), and as this is pretty much a clean install and I'm using root to access, why on earth would there be permission problems?
For information, besides the new Google drive sync-ing app, I've only got PLEX running. I successfully installed that by uploading the .deb file.
Any assistance to rectify this appreciated.
OK, a huge DOH! moment for me, which I should publish along with the solution in case anyone else is silly enough to do the same.
I logged in as the admin user' - I n'eeded to log in as 'root' with the same password, as described in other posts. Th error message was perfectly correct. Rookie mistake.
After that; 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get install libio-socket-ssl-perl' did the trick. Spotty is up and running.
