RN214 issue .. Can not install Logitech Media Server 7.9.0

[FrustratedMe]

Hi,

I recently got a used RN214, it had latest firmware 6.10.8 on it.

When Imtried to install LMS, /i couldn't find it in Apps..... in fact whole apps screen was blank.

I did a factory reset, which didn't help.

I did recover firmware by pressing Reset button, that helped, and apps appeared....but still no LMS.

I googled it, found 'armel' version 7.9.0 form Nastools..... but it still didn't install...

i tried installing SMB Plus.... that didn't install neither!

Something is seriously off!

i now downgraded to 6.10.0... and all aps still there, tried first again with SMB Plus, and it intakled fine and ran fine!

i could see LMS 7.9.0 in apps too!

i was happy for a brief moment since it couldn't install from Apps..... and it couldn't install from manual uploading neither.

Can somebody tell me what am I missing?

i simply need 1 single app running in this RN214, it is Logitech Media Server, and I can not currently.

i appreciate if someone can guide me.

Thank you.

try this:

login

Already did try that, no success:

I used WinSCP to SSH, looked at the log and saw this:

fv-app-install-utils.c:101(info) [nastools-logitechmediaserver](0%) preparefv-app-install.c:674(error) fv-app-install (nastools-logitechmediaserver): error code [100]: Reading package lists...Building dependency tree...Reading state information...Some packages could not be installed.

It appears it is missing these components:

perl (>= 5.8.8)
libgomp1
lame

Any clues?

Oops, here is the log again:

You do know the default Debian repo expired. Once factory reset, it will go back to default. You will have to add the work-around source:

Deb [trusted=yes] http://archive. Debian.org.

Or create local repo, to be safer.

Or

You may have to find and manually install the dependencies.

There are instructions for workaround in recent posts.

[FrustratedMe]

No, I didn't know they expired.

i'm not familiar with what and how to do.

Would you kindly point to that post ans I'll try to follow.

Btw, thank you for your replies, I appreciate it.

Right now I was reading this post where it kinda expalined where Wheezy or Jessie went.

(i'm not even sure if this is the correct wording)

i prefer to follow the directions from this forum rather than to sail waters I don't know.

See here: How-I-got-apt-update-and-install-to-work-with-Debian-Jessie .  I do not know if that will allow you to install from the GUI (since you cannot answer Y if it asks about installing from an outdated source), but it will work for standard and ReadyNAS-specific .deb packages installed from SSH.  But since most ReadyNAS-specific apps (including the one you are trying to install) are years old, just as is the Debian distro on which the OS based), you typically don't want to be using those ReadyNAS-specific ones, anyway.

install this first.

I don't think you need the other two.

Thank you all. I think I can manage things from here.

Heh, I was waiting my retirement to play with Linux, learn it a bit, get rid of this Win 10/11 BS.

(especially 11... in my eyes it's at the same place as Win ME, total travesty, Win 10 has some clear pluses but if you don't know your way around with old ways to do things, tough luck....MacOS appears a well 'maquille' unix, that's impression I got when I play with my wife's Macbook Pro, you need to know less old ways though, overall seems a better OS but can't play games like win)
