NSA325: Trouble installing MetaRepository

Mijzelf

Where and how can I add more repos (with the zyxel-samba-replacement)

in /opt/etc/opkg.conf. https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/opkg

As a pessimistic software dev ... how does the replacement work?

Will the web-UI to configure still work?

Yes. It writes to /etc/samba/smb.conf, which is included in the 'replacement conf'.

Works great!

Just had some fun with my old NSA325. I compiled a version of minio.io s3 server for this zyxel.

Hi Mijzelf! I tried to follow the tutorial but I ended up in this situation. Any hints please?

Mijzelf

Read the page about 'Entware-ng & FFP coexisting'.

StefanAM

Hi again! I don't know what I have to do. Please be more specific.

== Welcome at FFP version 0.7/arm, running on NSA325v2 NSA325-v2, firmware V4.81(AALS.1) ==

root@NSA325-v2:~# echo $PATH

/ffp/opt/java/jre/bin:/ffp/opt/java/jre/bin:/ffp/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/ffp/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

Mijzelf

It's literally on that page:

This problem can be solved by providing the full path when you want to execute an Entware-ng command:

/opt/bin/some_command

or you can source /opt/etc/profile:

. /opt/etc/profile

Please don't laugh but I'm a newbie in this stuff. Please give me more........

== Welcome at FFP version 0.7/arm, running on NSA325v2 NSA325-v2, firmware V4.81(AALS.1) ==

root@NSA325-v2:~# /opt/bin/su

-sh: /opt/bin/su: No such file or directory

root@NSA325-v2:~# cd /opt/bin/

root@NSA325-v2:/opt/bin# su

root@NSA325-v2:/opt/bin# opkg update

sh: opkg: command not found

root@NSA325-v2:/opt/bin# opkg update

sh: opkg: command not found

root@NSA325-v2:/opt/bin# /opt/bin/ opkg update

sh: /opt/bin/: is a directory

root@NSA325-v2:/opt/bin# /opt/bin/opkg update

sh: /opt/bin/opkg: Input/output error

root@NSA325-v2:/opt/bin# /opt/bin/ su

sh: /opt/bin/: is a directory

root@NSA325-v2:/opt/bin# cd

root@NSA325-v2:~# . /opt/etc/profile

sh: /opt/etc/profile: No such file or directory

root@NSA325-v2:~# 

Mijzelf

<pre class="CodeBlock"><code>root@NSA325-v2:/opt/bin# opkg update

Running /opt/bin/opkg is not the same as running opkg from within /opt/bin/. Linux searches $PATH to find an executable, and the current directory is not in there.

<pre class="CodeBlock"><code> root@NSA325-v2:/opt/bin# /opt/bin/opkg update sh: /opt/bin/opkg: Input/output error

This should have worked. Don't know where the 'Input/output error' comes from.

<pre class="CodeBlock"><code> root@NSA325-v2:~# . /opt/etc/profile sh: /opt/etc/profile: No such file or directory

That might give a hint. When /opt/etc/profile is not there, probably something is wrong with the /opt symlink. Try a reboot.

Thank you!

This is fantastic!! Thank you so much Mijzelf. I followed the instructions here and now my Zyxel 325v2 is running Samba 3.6.x (Well, not sure how to check the version, but I installed the Entware-ng zyxel-samba-replacement package). 

If I may, I summarized the steps here for smoother reading. Feel free to delete the post if I have overstepped.

Replace Samba 1.0 with 3.6x on Zyxel 325v2

Start by enabling 3rd party repository (Mijzelf instructions here)

• http://zyxel.diskstation.eu/Users/Mijzelf/zypkg-repo/README.html

From this page, specific to the Zyxel 325v2 (firmware4.81)

Step 1

• Download the file web_prefix from http://zyxel.diskstation.eu/Users/Mijzelf/zypkg-repo/, and put it in the directory \\<NAS>\admin\zy-pkgs\ on the NAS. Make sure your browser doesn't add any extensions to the file. The filename is web_prefix, without extension, all lowercase characters.

• This is obvious, but I needed this. Just mount the “admin” share on your zyxel NAS! Then go into the zy-pkgs folder and copy the web_prefix file there.

Step 2

• In the packages menu in the webinterface execute 'Retreive list from Internet'. Install MetaRepository. Execute 'Retreive list from Internet' again.

Now install the Entware-ng package

• In the packages menu in the webinterface on the “Package” tab, select the Entware-ng package from the list and click “Install/Upgrade”

Now install the Entware-ng zyxel-samba-replacement package

• SSH into your NAS box (if you have not already, install the SSH package, then click into the management page and enable SSH)

• Become root

• Type “su” and enter your root password

• Update the package list

• Type “opkg update”

• Install zyxel-samba-replacement

• Type “opkg install zyxel-samba-replacement”

Reboot the NAS when finished.

Finally disable “Enable Recycle bin” for all your user-created shares

• Go the the “Shares” webinterface. 

• Click on a share, then “Edit Share”

• Uncheck “Enable Recycle Bin” and choose “Apply”
