Hi,

 

I'm running a fresh 4.5-beta11 unRAID and installed the latest version of unMenu. When going to the package manager I cannot install any of the packages listed. For some I figured out that the link was not longer valid (like NTFS3G) but for others I don't understand as I can download the file manually from the command line (wget). One example is openssh-5.1p1-i486-1.tgz which returns "openssh-5.1p1-i486-1.tgz not successfully downloaded". However when looking at the openssh-unmenu-package.conf file I can see a valid url : http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-12.2/slackware/n/openssh-5.1p1-i486-1.tgz.

 

Is there anything to enable prior to use the package manager?

 

Thanks

Yes, you must have a valid DNS nameserver and gateway defined in your unRAID "settings" page.  (Usually it will be the IP address of your router)

You can tell if it is in place by typing

net lookup google.com

If it returns an IP address, the nameserver and gateway are in place.  If not, use the unRAID management screen to set them.

 

Yes, the link addresses go out of date as the repositories re-arrange their sets of packages.  I can't help that.  You can use "wget" to download the packages, or even use window's internet explorer/firefox, etc to download the .tgz file. Just put the downloaded file in the "packages" folder on the flash drive and it will be found by the package manager in unMENU.

Thanks Joe for the quick answer. I looked at the network settings and everything is already set correctly.

 

For unRAID command line I can get both of the following commands to work:

- net lookup google.com

- wget http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-12.2/slackware/n/openssh-5.1p1-i486-1.tgz

 

However clicking on the download button for OpenSSH (which links to the above package) fails.

 

I will proceed as your recommended and manually download the packages I need. In the meantime is there any log I should be looking at in order to analyze the problem?

Is there anything in the log about the failure, maybe an error message?  It worked straighforwardly for me (although a couple of the package definitions seem to be old so MD5's don't match but I don't put NTFS volumes in my unraid box so it's not an urgent need.)
