Hi Someguy,

To be honest, TS-101/201 were our first ever device to have their own IPKG feeds long before TS-109/209 came out.
take a look here (scroll down a bit and you will see)

In here some users provided a howto for installing ipkg feeds, which is here.

Good luck

Andy

By the Way i am spliting this post as well the orig is getting too big and out of the main topic too.

EDIT: One other thing is I will integrate the IPKG installation for All QNAP NAS into a single script when i get a time.

Hmm can i use this summary for a TS-100 too?
Because everywhere in the like they talk about the TS-101.
Or is the difference between this too only the different Hardware (CPU, LAN etc.)?

Hi there,

sorry, if I annoy anybody with noob-questions, but I don't know anybody else to ask...

To get ipkg running I tried to follow the instructions from:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Open ... essage/793
and
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Open ... essage/802
and encountered some problems...
1st is that the link
http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optwa ... owerpc.ipk
doesn't exist anymore, but the package can be fount at:
http://www.mediamax.com/bzhou/Hosted/op ... owerpc.ipk

I followed the instructions from the other posting step by step with the hint, that HDA_BOOT has to be HDA_ROOT taken into account, and then I added the line
src ts101 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optwa ... s/unstable
to the ipkg.conf.

Now I thought it should be possible to run ipkg list or ipkg update to get the list of available packages but I only get
the message "sucessfully terminated" when I run ipkg list, an when I try ipkg update i get an error-message saying:

ipkg_download: ERROR: Command failed with return value 1: 'wget [couple of spaces] -q -P /opt/ipkg-Vwczmz http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optwa ... /Packages'
The Letters after /opt/ipkg- vary from try to try...

I would really appreciate, if somebody could tell me what this is about.

Thanks,
Mad-Din

Hi @all,

sorry for double-post, but I found out what went wrong when I followed the instructions for installing optware on the ts-101, and I thought this might be useful for other newbes, to cope with the initial stage.

Exactly as Someguy wrote at
viewtopic.php?f=32&t=1708&p=6912&hilit=php5#p6912
I bekame an "no space left on device" error when I tried to perform the single wget (also added --debug flag) command.

First I removed the directories, symlinks and files that I installed in my first attempt except the base optware pakage in /tmp,

then I did again as described in:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Open ... essage/793

but replaced in 1)
mkdir /mnt/HDA_BOOT/opt
ln -sf /mnt/HDA_BOOT/opt /opt
by
mkdir /share/HDA_DATA/opt
ln -sf /share/HDA_DATA/opt /opt

did 3) as described ( (2) was allready done at the first attempt) and finaly edited the ipkg.conf as mentioned in
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Open ... essage/802

After that "ipkg update" and then "ipkg list" worked properly.

Greetings,
Mad-Din

Hi all,

I downloaded and installed ipkg from http://www.mediamax.com/bzhou/Hosted/op ... owerpc.ipk.
After I installed syslog-ng from http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optwa ... /unstable/.

When I run syslog-ng, it display message "can't load library 'libintl.so.3'".

What do I do it, please?

Thanks all

Hi all,
When I run syslog-ng, it display message "can't load library 'libintl.so.3'".

It's a bug in packaging. You can try "ipkg install gettext" and it should give you /opt/lib/libintl.so*

[bzhou]

As part of the cooperation of QNAP and nslu2-linux.org, the optware/ts101 feed is rebuilt and added back to autobuild. Now with wget.

The still broken packages are:
http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/bro ... s-ts101.mk

[Someguy]

So are there any working links left with "ipkg-opt_0.99.163-9_powerpc.ipk" ?

[bzhou]

You can safely use newer version of ipkg-opt at
http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optwa ... /unstable/
Currently http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optwa ... owerpc.ipk
