Hi there, I was using the itolosa firmware and after the upgrade to DSM 3.1 (synology firmware DSM_USB_Station_2_1742.pat) I've noticed that ipkg was no longer working. So I tried to install it again following the guidelines to install the bootstrap first. But something went really bad and after the reboot, the usb station screen is without any icons. If I try to access the file station directly by port 7001, it opens ok, but the main screen show no more icons. Any ideas? Can I reinstall the firmware again? How, because the dsm update icon is no longer available? Thank you.

I also manage to access the ssh interface. Please any help? I saw that the mount and df information is a little strange:

YgorUSBStation2> mount
/dev/root on / type squashfs (ro,relatime)
/tmp on /tmp type tmpfs (0)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (gid=4,mode=620)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (0)
/proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (0)

I've managed to recover it by plugging off the synology and plugging in while holding the reset button at the same time. Everything went back to normal. Thanks.

We've updated our alternative firmware to version 3.1-1742.
This new release still included IPKG auto-installer and precompiled drivers.

Hi there, i've installed your new firmware, but when I try to run ./install-ipkg, it keeps giving me this error:

Any ideas of what i'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

It looks like you have probably the system volume full.
Can you show the output of "df -k" command?

Sure!

Is there anything that I can remove to make space? Maybe a full reset?
Thanks!

I guess the first red-marked 100%-in-use filesystem is in flash memory.
I don't own a USB2 so I may be wrong, but probably it should not matter.

The second red-marked filesystem, /opt, has only 611 kB free... and that one
is probably causing problems.
What else do you have under /opt? Can you check?

On the USBS2 device the free space on internal Flash memory is relatively small 16MB, so most probalbly there are already some files present (from a previous IPKG installation) and the free room does not allow to install IPKG.
Two solutions

1. Delete some files in /opt directory
2. Install IPKG on external flash memory (USB stick)

I prefer option 2, because I don't know what files I can delete without messing everything.
Can you please tell me how to install IPKG on a USB stick, which is already mounted on /volumeUSB1/usbshare?
Thanks!

Hi,

I have described how to install IPKG on an external memory stick on my website, but it is in "French". Nevertheless I guess it could help you, please have a look to : http://syno.haeflinger.com/index.php/US ... ation_IPKG

Hope it helps

For most usages, it is hardly recommended to follow haef67 tip and to move optware on an external device. You have to remember that US2 internal flash memory is very limited, and won't allow you to install many third-party tools.

by **haef67** » Mon Jun 27, 2011 2:52 pm

Hi all,

If you have problems with the French version of my tutorial (of IPKG installation on an external memory device) please let me know if I have enough requests I will take some of my time to create an English version of it

Regards

Patrick

Just install the alternative firmware then use ipkg :

> ipkg list transmission
transmission - 2.31-1 - Lightweight BitTorrent client and daemon, with web interface bundled.

> ipkg list lighttpd
lighttpd - 1.4.28-1 - A fast webserver with minimal memory footprint.
