[EDIT] updating debian lenny to squeeze problem

ted_chou12 · 10-06-2012, 12:13 PM

Hi, I am trying to install etherwake on a debian arm machine, I am not exactly sure of the make, but from the apt-get command, the sources show lenny in the url. I have tried to use the default package finder apt-get but it returns a 404 error. I guess I have to find it by hand to install it. Can anyone give me the direct url?
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=etherwake
Thanks,
Ted

Lenny (old stable) is no longer supported, your best bet would be to update to Squeeze (stable) or maybe even, if you are adventurous, Wheezy (testing).

I have always found upgrading to be problematic. If I were you I'd download either a CD or a DVD and do a fresh install.

ted_chou12 · 10-07-2012, 03:42 AM

Thanks for your reply, but I am not exactly sure how to make a fresh install in the chroot environment?

Code:

sh-3.2# uname -a
Linux nas 2.6.16-gazineu #13 Mon Jun 21 21:43:59 BRT 2010 armv4l GNU/Linux

I got the old chroot lenny from the google group, but it didn't have a new one. The original environment is very very limited! I mean it:

Code:

# ls /bin
addgroup       dmesg          kill           pidof          ssh
adduser        dropbear       ln             ping           sync

busybox        dropbearmulti  ls             pwd            touch
cat            echo           mkdir          rm             true
chgrp          egrep          mknod          rmdir          umount
chmod          false          mktemp         rsync          uname

cp             grep           mv             sftp-server    vsftpd

dc          head        pgrep       tail        tty

There arent much functions for me to use, its a very small nas, in addition, the original space doesnt let me install anything cause its partitioned to be 100%

Code:

# df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root                 2688      2688         0 100% /

tmpfs                     2048         0      2048   0% /tmp
tmpfs                     1024         0      1024   0% /usb
mdev                      1024         0      1024   0% /dev
tmpfs                     1024       328       696  32% /etc

Thanks,
Ted

Sorry Ted but I can't help you on that. I've never had to install in a chroot environment. I'll be watching this thread so I can learn with you though. Good luck.
