Getting root SSH access (without disassembling your Lacie)

For enhancing your Lacie, first you will need to get root access, this tutorials shows how to get root access using the vulnerability web interface.

Up to version 1.3.6

So, to get root access, you'll just need a web browser.
Copy the following lines in the code section to a text file, in this case, replace the string YOUR.2BIG2.IP.ADDRESS the IP address of your 2Big Network 2. Copy and change the line carefully, otherwise the result is not predictable.
Big thanks to ak97 (Source) for figuring this out on the Network Space 2 because it works for the 2big Network 2 as well!
Note: You can use this HTML page to easily generate the links below

DISCLAIMER: whatever you do, do it at your own risk.

STEP 1: Enabling SSH service at startup

You do this by replacing YOUR.2BIG2.IP.ADDRESS for your Lacie IP and putting the following URLs to your browser.
Note: You should ignore the following resulting errors on each URL: 

Testing installation

ERROR: Missing at least one of these files:
 
    class.sshDriver.php
    class.SSHOperations.php
    manifest.xml
    showPass.php
    sshActions.xml


Testing file permission

Required showPass.php is executable

Testing ssh access from webserver's user

ssh is accessible and runnable

Checking if we can connect to destination SSH server

ERROR: The server 2>/dev/null||cp /etc/initng/runlevel/default.runlevel /www/browser/plugins/access.ssh/default.runlevel.txt you are trying to contact doesn't have its host key installed
Please install server host key in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts file, as the webserver user can't store server's key
You should type this command as root to add the key to the main host file:
ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=ask -o UserKnownHostsFile=/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts 2>/dev/null||cp /etc/initng/runlevel/default.runlevel /www/browser/plugins/access.ssh/default.runlevel.txt

  • If everything went fine, SSH service will be enabled at startup in your Lacie forever!

STEP 2: Create and install the SSH RSA public key

Now that the SSH service will be enabled at startup we need to get the keys to access it. So now we need to create the RSA private/public keys. Here you'll need to go to Linux. If you don't have Linux, download and install it in a 2GB+ USB pen drive so you can boot with Ubuntu.
Again, you will need to replace YOUR.2BIG2.IP.ADDRESS for your Lacie IP and ignore the errors on each URL.

  • From Linux, open a terminal window
  • Run the following command to generate the RSA private/public keys (replace YOUR.PASSWORD for the password you want to use). As a result you will have 2 files: Private key "lacie_2big2" and Public Key "lacie_2big2.pub"
ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t rsa -N YOUR.PASSWORD -f lacie_2big2

STEP 3: Test access and change root password

Now, from your computer you should access the Lacie using your private key, so let's test it and change the root password so you can access from any other PC and without the need of a private key.
Again you'll need to go to Linux.

  • From Linux, open a terminal window
  • Run the following command to connect via SSH (replace YOUR.2BIG2.IP.ADDRESS for your Lacie IP)
ssh -i ./lacie_2big2 root@YOUR.2BIG2.IP.ADDRESS
Note: You'll need to be in the same folder you generate the keys at step 2
  • When it asks put the password you choose at step 2
  • Run the following command to change root password for allow connect from another machine.
passwd
  • If everything went fine, now you can connect from any PC using root username and the password you choose. See the rest of the tutorials if you want to enhance your Lacie.

Notes:

  • Sometimes, after restart your Lacie you will loose the root password. If this happens, you will need to repeat step 2 and step 3
  • If you use Windows, after the configuration, you can use PuTTY to SSH access your Lacie
  • You can use WinSCP to SFTP access your Lacie to upload/download files


Up to version 2.0.5

Big thanks to Mijzelf (Source) for figuring this out on the Network Space 2 because it works for the 2big Network 2 as well!

STEP 1: Create a root symlink in a USB disk

  • From Linux, open a terminal window
  • Format an USB drive ext2/3
  • Create the following symlink on it.
ln -s / theroot
  • Plug the USB drive to Lacie

STEP 2: Use AjaXplorer to access lacie root filesystem

  • Go to Lacie Dashboard and browse your files
  • Select the USB drive, and select the symlink folder "theroot"

STEP 3: Get root and SSH access

  • Edit "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/unicorn/authentication/local/user.py" and "/etc/shadow"
  • Replace the "root" hashed password in 
root:$1$$1RDUuTsVHjre9juUvuICX.:12542:0:99999:7:::
For "admin" hashed password, that you can see in "/etc/shadow"
admin:[YOUR_ADMIN_HASHED_PASSWORD]:12488:0:99999:7:::
  • Download "/etc/initng/runlevel/default.runlevel", edit the file and replace
#sshd
by
sshd
  • Reboot. If everything went fine, now you can connect from any PC using root username and password. See the rest of the tutorials if you want to enhance your Lacie.

Notes:

  • When editing, you'll have to use Linux/Unix line endings. If you're in Windows use PsPad
  • Until firmware version 2.0.4 ssh port is 22, from firmware 2.0.5 is 2222
  • If you use Windows, after the configuration, you can use PuTTY to SSH access your Lacie, and WinSCP to SFTP access your Lacie to upload/download files.

Custom capsule

«Standing on the shoulders of giants»

In this case the giants are bago, Jeroen and everyone who contributed for creating the first custom capsules for Lacie Network Space 2 (Source). Big thanks to them!

This method should work in the following Lacie products/versions:

  • Network Space 2 (up to version 2.2.5)
  • Network Space MAX (up to version 2.2.3)
  • d2 Network 2 (up to version 2.2.4)
  • 2Big Network 2 (up to version 2.2.8)
  • 5Big Network 2 (up to version 2.2.3)

With the custom capsule you can "upgrade" to the same version. For instance, you can "upgrade" version 2.0.5 with a 2.0.5.1 custom capsule.

Create your own custom capsule

If you already download a custom capsule, you don't need to do this, just use it!

STEP 1: Choose your enviroment
  • If you already have root in LacieOS (only tested in versions 2.0.x) you can use LacieOS
  • If you don't have root use Linux. You will need at least tar, lzma, wget, curl and sha1sum.
STEP 2: Preparing
wget -O create_capsule.sh http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/andreus/scripts/lacieos/create_capsule.sh_v7.txt
  • Give execute permissions
chmod +x create_capsule.sh
  • Add anything else you want in your custom biuld in Changing original capsule (custom capsule make) part
STEP 3: Creating the capsule
  • Run the script, choose your options, see if there are no errors and wait 
./create_capsule.sh
  • You can test the integrity of the capsule file in Lacie Network Agent (just choose the file and see the information)

Use a custom capsule

  • Update using method 2 (sometimes doesn't work) or method 3
  • If everything went fine, now you can connect from any PC using your 'admin' user password for 'root' user. See the rest of the tutorials if you want to enhance your Lacie.
    Note: If you change your 'admin' user password, reboot. After reboot, your 'root' password will be alse updated.

Notes:

  • Until firmware version 2.0.4 ssh port is 22, from firmware 2.0.4+ the port is 2222
  • If you use Windows, after the configuration, you can use PuTTY to SSH access your Lacie, and WinSCP to SFTP access your Lacie to upload/download files.


Enhancing the 2big Network 2

Modifying installed software

Please note that all of the following Hacks need root access.

Transmition: Use original web manager

By default Lacie 2Big Network 2 blocks the Transmition web manager, because it's integrated with the Lacie 2Big Dashboard (Dashboard -> Download).
The goal here is to activate the original web manager. Props go to andreus.

Modifying Transmition
  • If you have any, stop and delete all your torrents from the Dashboard (Dashboard -> Download)
  • Stop service (wait until it fully stops)
ngc --stop transmission
  • Duplicate "/lacie/torrent_dir/transmission/" folder
cp -R /lacie/torrent_dir/transmission/ /lacie/torrent_dir/transmission-new
  • Change permissions of files and folder in the new folder
chmod -R 0777 /lacie/torrent_dir/transmission-new/blocklists
chmod -R 0777 /lacie/torrent_dir/transmission-new/resume
chmod -R 0777 /lacie/torrent_dir/transmission-new/torrents
chmod 0666 /lacie/torrent_dir/transmission-new/dht.dat
chmod 0666 /lacie/torrent_dir/transmission-new/stats.json
chmod 0644 /lacie/torrent_dir/transmission-new/settings.json
  • Edit "/lacie/torrent_dir/transmission-new/settings.json" file and change the "rpc-whitelist" parameter to also include your 2Big IP
    Example: "rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.*,192.168.*.*"
  • Start service (wait until it fully starts)
ngc --start transmission
  • Test access in your web browser! http://YOUR.2BIG2.IP.ADDRESS:9091/
    Example: http://192.168.1.120:9091/
  • Make the change permanent (even after restart), editing "/etc/initng/transmission.i" and changing
    exec daemon = /usr/bin/transmission-daemon -f --config-dir /lacie/torrent_dir/transmission;
    for
    exec daemon = /usr/bin/transmission-daemon -f --config-dir /lacie/torrent_dir/transmission-new;

Notes:

  • After you gain web access don't use the Dashboard -> Download system anymore
  • After you gain web access change the download folder to "/shares/YOUR.SHARE.NAME/" or other folder of your choice
  • If you want to change more things like controlled access to the web manager edit the "/lacie/torrent_dir/transmission-new/settings.json" file and change the "rpc-*" parameters
  • If you want remote access from a Desktop client download and configure it to suit your needs

TwonkyMedia Server

Update from 4.4.18 to 6.0.30 (up to LacieOS version 1.3.7)

Props go to ak97 (Source).

  • Stop TwonkyMedia media server from LaCie web interface (Dashboard -> General Settings -> Multimedia service)
  • Backup old twonkymedia server
mv /usr/local/twonkymedia /usr/local/twonkymedia_backup
  • Download, extract and delete twonkymedia tarfile
mkdir /usr/local/twonkymedia
cd /usr/local/twonkymedia
//Get zipped file
wget http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/quicknick/twonkymedia/twonkymedia.tar
//Extract zipped file
tar -xvf twonkymedia.tar
//Delete zipped file
rm -rf twonkymedia.tar
  • Set execute permission attribute for files/folders inside "/usr/local/twonkymedia" 
chmod -R +x /usr/local/twonkymedia
  • Edit file "/etc/initng/twonkymedia.i", and change line:
    /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia -inifile /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia-server.ini -logfile /var/log/twonkymedia.log -v 1;
    to
    /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia -inifile /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia-server2.ini -logfile /var/log/twonkymedia.log -v 1;
  • Start media server with LaCie web interface (Dashboard -> General Settings -> Multimedia service)

Notes:

  • If you have problems check settings in "/usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia-server2.ini"
Access web config (LacieOS version 2.0.x)

In LacieOS version 2.0.x Twonky was updated to version 6.0.33, so there's no need to update it.

You can however change the config file to permit web configuration access.

  • Duplicate file "/etc/twonkymedia-server.ini"
cp /etc/twonkymedia-server.ini /etc/twonkymedia-server2.ini
  • Edit and change what you want in "/etc/twonkymedia-server2.ini", but don't forget to put this configurations:
enableweb=2
...
httpport=9000
  • Edit file "/etc/initng/twonkymedia.i", and change line:
    /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia -inifile /etc/twonkymedia-server.ini -logfile /var/log/twonkymedia.log -v 1;
    to
    /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia -inifile /etc/twonkymedia-server2.ini -logfile /var/log/twonkymedia.log -v 1;
  • Reboot your Lacie

Installing software on 2big Network 2

That are 3 methods for installing software: Debian "Squeeze" (stable) chroot Environment, Debian "Lenny" (old stable) chroot Environment and Ipkg binary packages (without Chroot Environment).
The following table analyses the 3 methods regarding Available disk space, Available software, Risk, Flexibility and Memory usage.
Please note that all of the following methods need root access.

Method Available disk space Available software Risk Flexibility Memory usage
Debian "Squeeze" (stable) chroot Environment Very High
(because you'll mount a share only for this with the space you want - see Automount shares) 		Very High
(you have a lot of new software) 		Very Low
(you don't mess with Lacie OS, you're in a different environment) 		Low
(since you're in a different environment you can't interact with Lacie OS) 		Medium-High
(Depends on what you install, but typically higher since it is a different environment)
Debian "Lenny" (old stable) chroot Environment Very High
(because you'll mount a share only for this with the space you want - see Automount shares) 		Medium
(you have a lot of old software) 		Very Low
(you don't mess with Lacie OS, you're in a different environment) 		Low
(since you're in a different environment you can't interact with Lacie OS) 		Medium-High
(Depends on what you install, but typically higher since it is a different environment)
Ipkg binary packages (without Chroot Environment) Very High
(because you'll mount a share only for this with the space you want - see Automount shares) 		Low
(you have some software in ipkg format, some new and some old) 		High
(you are installing software directly on Lacie OS) 		Very high
(since you're in Lacie OS you can interact with initng) 		Low-medium
(memory usage will be less than a chroot environment)


Automount shares

If you install additional software on the Lacie, it is best to make shares and bind to directories. For example have /media/internal_1/shares/18 bind to /opt at boot up for the ipkg install. It is preferable not to bind from /shares/"YOUR SHARE" because it is already bound from the real location which resides at /media/internal_1/shares/XX.
Please note, that you should only use this if you need to automount system and shares for Ipkg binary packages (without Chroot Environment), squeeze or lenny chroot environment.

For version 2.1.3+

  • Make backup of /etc/initng/samba.i
mv /etc/initng/samba.i /etc/initng/samba.backup
  • Download the new "samba.i" and "samba-bind.i" files (or create them yourself) to "/etc/initng/"
wget -O /etc/initng/samba.i http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/andreus/scripts/lacieos-ipkg/samba.i.txt
wget -O /etc/initng/samba-bind.i http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/andreus/scripts/lacieos-ipkg/samba-bind.i.txt

Note: when using this tutorial for the Network Station 2 instead of 2big Network 2, replace /media/internal_1 by /media/internal_6 everywhere in samda-bind.i.txt: sed -i "s/\/media\/internal_1/\/media\/internal_6/g" samba-bind.i

Note: on firmware 2.2.4 of the Network Station 2, this causes If that happens, restore your /etc/initng/samba.backup to /etc/initng/samba.i, and add after 'daemon samba/smbd {' and 'need = samba/initial;' the line 'also_start = samba-bind;'.

  • Reboot the Lacie

reboot

  • Start/Restart the samba-bind service (not sure if this step is even necessary)
ngc -z samba-bind
ngc --stop samba-bind
ngc --start samba-bind
  • Verify the service is running and verify if shares are mounted
ngc --status
df -h
  • If everything went fine, you now have a permenent mount for squeeze and/or lenny and/or svn.

Notes:

  • If for some reason your shares did not show up please check /var/log/samba-bind.log
cat /var/log/samba-bind.log
  • If you want to verify which shares are mounted
df -h

Debian "Squeeze" (stable) Chroot Environment

Please note that all of the following Hacks need root access.

Install Squeeze

Props go to quicknick.

STEP 1: Create a home for squeeze
  • There are a number of places you can put your chroot environment. I chose to make a private share that way I have raid 1 redundancy and an easy way to add files to the environment without having to scp or ssh to it all the time. To do that, create a private share "debian-squeeze" in the dashboard (Dashboard -> Shares)
  • Create squeeze and user shares on squeeze folders, then mount squeeze and user shares
//Create "/debian-squeeze" folder and mount it
mkdir /debian-squeeze
mount -o bind /shares/debian-squeeze /debian-squeeze
//Create shares folder inside "debian-squeeze" directory and mount it (and its submounts) on squeeze
mkdir /debian-squeeze/shares
mount -o rslave,bind /shares /debian-squeeze/shares
STEP 2: Installing Squeeze - Method 1. The Easy Way (Prebuild)
  • Download, extract and delete zipped squeeze prebuild
cd /debian-squeeze
//Download zipped squeeze prebuild
wget -P /debian-squeeze http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/quicknick/debian-squeeze/squeeze.tar.gz
//Extract zipped file
tar zxvf squeeze.tar.gz
//Delete zipped file to save space
rm squeeze.tar.gz

File Name: squeeze.tar.gz
File Size: 69.025.948 (65,8MB)
md5sum: 799b8700039df617e5888c82179d7164
sha1sum: c398a8b65b16a11ec8541dfd38ba8abdd9ee9426
  • Copy "hosts" and "resolv.conf" files from Lacie OS to squeeze chroot environment
cp /etc/hosts /debian-squeeze/etc/
cp /etc/resolv.conf /debian-squeeze/etc/
STEP 2: Installing Squeeze - Method 2. The Hard Way (build your own squeeze)

Prepare for squeeze

  • From your desktop preferably ubuntu or debian based (for simplicity) run the following commands to setup:
sudo apt-get install cdebootstrap
  • Create a directory in home or somewhere to build squeeze
mkdir ~/squeeze
  • Build squeeze
cd ~/squeze
  • The following command will fail with the following error when doing tar this is normal!
sudo cdebootstrap -aarmel squeeze squeeze ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian
Note: You should pick a mirror for proper updating of squeeze. The one closest to you is usually the fastest.
  • This is the error you will see ignore it and proceed
P: Extracting tar
E: Execution failed: Exec format error
E: Internal error: install
  • Compress the chroot environment
cd ~/squeeze/
sudo tar czvf debian_squeeze.tar.gz *
  • copy squeeze.tar.gz //YOUR.2BIG2.IP.ADDRESS/debian-squeeze using nautilus

Installing squeeze

  • Upload downloaded squeeze to new share root
cd /squeeze
tar zxvf squeeze.tar.gz
chroot /squeeze /bin/bash
  • Copy files from Lacie OS to chroot environment
cp /etc/hosts /squeeze/etc/
cp /etc/resolv.conf /squeeze/etc/
  • Modify chroot bashrc
rm /squeeze/root/.bashrc
vi /squeeze/root/.bashrc
  • Paste the following into /squeeze/root/.bashrc
# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.

STEP 3: Squeeze time
//Download squeeze chroot environment functions, add them to "/root/.profile" and delete temporary files
wget -O /temp.txt http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/andreus/scripts/debian/squeeze/.profile.txt
cat /temp.txt >> /root/.profile
rm /temp.txt
//Source "/root/.profile" so you don't need to restart
source /root/.profile
  • Run Squeeze
squeeze
Note: At this point, you're now chrooted into the squeeze distribution you just loaded. Any commands from this point forward will be inside the chroot.
  • Finish setting up Squeeze (you should ONLY do this if you did STEP 2 the hard way)
cd /var/cache/bootstrap
dpkg --force-all -i libc6*deb
dpkg --force-all -i dpkg*deb
dpkg -iGREB .
The dpkg commands are going to bomb out on certain packages. Keep running the -i GREB. command a couple of times, and any packages that seem stuck, run the --force-all -i flags on the individual packages. Your final dpkg -i GREB. command should indicate no errors.
  • Add sources to environment
echo "deb ftp://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/debian squeeze main contrib non-free" > /etc/apt/source.list
echo "deb ftp://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/debian squeeze-updates main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/source.list
echo "deb ftp://ftp.debian-multimedia.org/ squeeze main non-free" >> /etc/apt/source.list
Note: You should pick a mirror for proper updating of squeeze. The one closest to you is usually the fastest.
  • Finish setting APT up
apt-get update
apt-get install debian-archive-keyring
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
  • Final step is to set your squeeze root password
passwd
  • That's it your Debian "squeeze" is installed!

Notes:

  • Run "squeeze" from Lacie OS each time you need to go to squeeze and "exit" to get out of squeeze into Lacie OS
  • If you are using PuTTY and can't see what you are writing in squeeze chroot environment, you may have to change your PuTTY color settings in "Window" -> "Colors"
  • If you are using PuTTY and you're seeing some strange characters, you may have to change your PuTTY translation settings to "UTF-8" in "Window" -> "Translation"
  • If you want to set squeeze language (example for files and folders with different charsets) do the following commands.
    Example for Portuguese:
//Install locales packages
apt-get install locales
//Generate Portuguese language (pt_PT) to system
echo -e "pt_PT UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.gen
locale-gen
//Add Portuguese language to "LANG" environment variable to "~/.bashrc"
echo -e "export LANG=pt_PT.UTF-8" >> ~/.bashrc
//Exit and start squeeze again
exit
squeeze
  • If you want to set timezone do the following command.
    Example for Madrid:
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid /etc/localtime


STEP 4: Start Squeeze services on startup

If you want to use Squeeze to run services which should be started automatically whenever the device reboots, do the following (based on a forum discussion):

(All the following should be executed *outside* of the chroot, so the root in the following refers to the root of the device, not the chroot root.)

  • Create a file /etc/init.d/squeeze.sh with the following content:
#!/bin/sh

. /root/.profile

case $1 in
    start)
        mount4squeeze
        chroot /debian-squeeze /etc/init.d/rc 2
        ;;
esac
  • Make this file executable:
chmod +x /etc/init.d/squeeze.sh
  • Create a file /etc/initng/squeeze.i with the following content:
#!/sbin/itype
# This is a i file, used by initng parsed by install_service

service squeeze {
need = samba-bind;
    script start = {
        /etc/init.d/squeeze.sh start
        exit 0
    };
}
  • Edit /etc/initng/runlevel/default.runlevel, and add the following line:
squeeze


Note: I did not find a way to stop all services within the chroot via a script. '/etc/init.d/rc 0' also kills the services outside of the chroot, even when executed from within the chroot.

Debian "Lenny" (old stable) Chroot Environment

Please note that all of the following Hacks need root access.

Install Lenny

Props goes to olivm (Source).

STEP 1: Create a home for lenny
  • There are a number of places you can put your chroot environment. I choose to make a private share that way I have raid 1 redundancy and an easy way to add files to the environment without having to scp or ssh to it all the time. To do that, create a private share "debian-lenny" in the dashboard (Dashboard -> Shares)
  • Create lenny and user shares on lenny folders, then mount lenny and user shares
//Create "/debian-lenny" folder and mount it
mkdir /debian-lenny
mount -o bind /shares/debian-lenny /debian-lenny
//Create shares folder inside "/debian-lenny" directory and mount it (and its submounts) on lenny
mkdir /debian-lenny/shares
mount -o rslave,bind /shares /debian-lenny/shares
STEP 2: Installing Lenny - The Easy Way (Prebuild)
  • Download, extract and delete zipped lenny prebuild
cd /
//Download zipped lenny prebuild
wget -P / http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/quicknick/debian-lenny/lenny-arm-olivm.tgz
//Extract zipped file
tar zxvf lenny-arm-olivm.tgz
//Delete zipped file to save space and extra .profile generated in zip
rm lenny-arm-olivm.tgz
rm .profile
//Change folder name
mv /lenny-arm /debian-lenny

File Name: lenny-arm-olivm.tgz
File Size: 85.421.677(81,4MB)
md5sum: 181c53462b46b24d11b5fa02ab87d006
sha1sum: f8feeaa1b922912a7926026def5a169ad88b945f
  • Copy "hosts" and "resolv.conf" files from Lacie OS to be used in lenny chroot environment
cp /etc/hosts /debian-lenny/etc/
cp /etc/resolv.conf /debian-lenny/etc/
STEP 3: Lenny time
//Download lenny chroot environment functions, add them to "/root/.profile" and delete temporary files
wget -O /temp.txt http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/andreus/scripts/debian/lenny/.profile.txt
cat /temp.txt >> /root/.profile
rm /temp.txt
//Source "/root/.profile" so you don't need to restart
source /root/.profile
  • Run lenny
lenny
Note: At this point, you're now chrooted into the lenny distribution you just loaded. Any commands from this point forward will be inside the chroot.
  • Add multimedia source to environment
echo "deb ftp://ftp.debian-multimedia.org lenny main" >> /etc/apt/source.list
  • Finish setting APT up
apt-get update
apt-get install debian-archive-keyring
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install wget
  • Final step is to set your lenny root password
passwd
  • That's it your Debian "lenny" is installed!

Notes:

  • Run "lenny" from Lacie OS each time you need to go to lenny and "exit" to get out of lenny into Lacie OS
  • If you are using PuTTY and can't see what you are writing in lenny chroot environment, you may have to change your PuTTY color settings in "Window" -> "Colors"
  • If you are using PuTTY and you're seeing some strange characters, you may have to change your PuTTY translation settings to "UTF-8" in "Window" -> "Translation"
  • If you want to set lenny language (example for files and folders with different charsets) do the following commands.
    Example for Portuguese:
//Install locales packages
apt-get install locales
//Generate Portuguese language (pt_PT) to system
echo -e "pt_PT UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.gen
locale-gen
//Add Portuguese language to "LANG" environment variable to "~/.bashrc"
echo -e "export LANG=pt_PT.UTF-8" >> ~/.bashrc
//Exit and start lenny again
exit
lenny
  • If you want to set timezone do the following command.
    Example for Madrid:
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid /etc/localtime


Software for Squeeze and Lenny chroot environments

All of the software in this section assumes you already setup a squeeze or lenny chroot environment

PS3MediaServer 1.21.1 (released 14 April 2011)

By default Lacie 2Big Network 2 uses TwonkyMedia Server as UPnP/DLNA server, but you can use others.
The goal here is replace TwonkyMedia Server for PS3MediaServer in squeeze/lenny chroot environment.
Please note, that while this method works, for what i tested the PS3MediaServer on squeeze/lenny on 2Big2 doesn't have the capability to transcode videos with mencoder (ex: for subtitles). Also PS3MediaServer doesn't start automatically because it's on squeeze/lenny environment.
Props go to quicknick and andreus.

STEP 1: Installing dependencies
  • Install and test Java
apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
//Test java
java -version
  • Install and test ffmpeg, mplayer, meconder and vlc
apt-get install ffmpeg mplayer meconder vlc
//Download subtitle font to "/root/.mplayer/"
wget -P /root/.mplayer/ http://ps3mediaserver.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ps3mediaserver/win32/mplayer/subfont.ttf
//Test ffmpeg
ffmpeg -version
//Test mplayer
mplayer
//Test mencoder
mencoder -ovc help
//Test vlc
vlc -h

Mediainfo in Squeeze

  • Install and test mediainfo
apt-get install mediainfo
//Test mediainfo
mediainfo --version

Mediainfo in Lenny

  • Install compile, zip and ping tools (you'll need then for the next steps)
apt-get install g++ gcc binutils make libtool autoconf automake gettext build-essencial gzip bzip2 zlib1g-dbg zlib1g zlib1g-dev iputils-ping
  • Download source and compile libzen, libmediainfo and mediainfo. Then delete source files and test mediainfo 
mkdir /opt/src
cd /opt/src
//Get zipped file
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mediainfo/MediaInfo_CLI_0.7.44_GNU_FromSource.tar.bz2
//Extract zipped file
tar xvjf MediaInfo_CLI_0.7.44_GNU_FromSource.tar.bz2
//Delete zipped file to save space
rm MediaInfo_CLI_0.7.44_GNU_FromSource.tar.bz2
//Compile!! This next process could take up to 2 hours so take a break and come back later
cd MediaInfo_CLI_GNU_FromSource
./CLI_Compile.sh
//When it finishes copy mediainfo file to bin dir
cp /opt/src/MediaInfo_CLI_GNU_FromSource/MediaInfo/Project/GNU/CLI/mediainfo /bin/
//Now install ZenLib, make install should work, but in my case it didn't so i manually installed it
cd /opt/src/MediaInfo_CLI_GNU_FromSource/ZenLib/Project/GNU/Library
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c  'libzen.la' '/usr/local/lib/libzen.la'
//Now install MediaInfoLib, make install should work, but in my case it didn't so i manually installed it
cd /opt/src/MediaInfo_CLI_GNU_FromSource/MediaInfoLib/Project/GNU/Library
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c  'libmediainfo.la' '/usr/local/lib/libmediainfo.la'
//Copy libraries files to lib folder
cp -Rrp /usr/local/lib/lib* /lib/
//Delete source files
cd /opt
rm -rf /opt/src
//Test
mediainfo --version
STEP 2: Installing PS3MediaServer
  • Install ps3mediaserver (download, extract and delete tgz file)
cd /opt
//Get zipped file
wget http://ps3mediaserver.googlecode.com/files/pms-generic-linux-unix-1.21.1.tgz
//Extract zipped file
tar -xvf pms-generic-linux-unix-1.21.1.tgz
//Delete zipped file
rm -rf pms-generic-linux-unix-1.21.1.tgz
cd /opt/pms-linux-1.21.1/
  • Create configuration file and put what you want to share (you can share the folders you want, separate with ",")
echo "folders=/shares/YOUR.SHARE.NAME/" > PMS.conf
Note: All configuration options in PS3MediaServer source code. You can change the file "/opt/pms-linux-1.21.1/PMS.conf" for general configurations and "/opt/pms-linux-1.21.1/WEB.conf" for webservices configurations.
STEP 3: Running PS3MediaServer
  • Copy pre-created script (or create it yourself) and put it in your squeeze/lenny "/opt/pms-linux-1.21.1" directory
wget -O /opt/pms-linux-1.21.1/pms http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/andreus/scripts/debian/pms.txt
  • Give execute permission and create a symlink to "/bin" so it can be executed from anywhere
cd /opt/pms-linux-1.21.1/
chmod +x pms
ln -s /opt/pms-linux-1.21.1/pms /bin/pms
  • You know have a start/stop script of PS3MediaServer. Usage: "pms start" or "pms stop" or "pms info" or "pms log". Start PS3MediaPlayer 
pms start
  • If you completed everything correctly you'll have a PS3MediaServer. Now you can check from UPnP reader device (PS3, Windows Media Player or other)
STEP 4: Stop TwonkyMediaServer daemon (initng startup script)

Since you already have PS3MediaServer working you can now stop your original UPnP Server (TwonkyMediaServer) so you can save some memory.
The following steps are in Lacie OS, not in squeeze/lenny chroot environment

  • Edit "/etc/initng/twonkymedia.i" and change:
    /bin/rm -f /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymediaserver-log.txt;
    /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia -D -inifile /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia-server.ini -logfile /var/log/twonkymedia.log -v 1;
    to
    # /bin/rm -f /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymediaserver-log.txt;
    # /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia -D -inifile /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia-server.ini -logfile /var/log/twonkymedia.log -v 1;
  • Restart your Lacie
reboot
More information

lighttpd (Web Server)

Props go to quicknick.

  • Just run the following in chroot to install lighttpd. Hit yes for dependencies.
apt-get install lighttpd
  • Make sure you run on a different port than Lacie OS WebServer. Edit "/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf" and Modify line 70 Server.Port to your value Server.Port = 81
  • Start lighttpd
/etc/init.d/lighttpd start

Postfix (SMTP Server)

Props go to andreus. 

apt-get install postfix
In the first screen of setup choose "Internet site". In the second screen of the setup you will see your hostname, say ok.
  • Configure mail server allowed send networks editing "/etc/postfix/main.cf" and changing
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
for
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 192.168.1.0/24
Pelase note thios configuration is for a usual network, your network can have other ips
  • Test it using a SMTP client like Outlook or Thunderbird

SSH

Props go to quicknick.

  • Just run the following to install SSH (hit yes for dependencies).
apt-get install ssh
  • Make sure you run on a different port than Lacie OS SSH. Edit "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" and modify to Port 2222
  • Test SSH access

Subversion Server

Memory usage = 1.2Mb
Props go to quicknick. I chose to make a private share "repos" and made it automatically mount by the automount service

Create a home for subversion

Create a new directory for repositories 

mkdir /srv/svn
mkdir /srv/svn/repos

Manual mount 

mount -o bind /shares/repos/ /"chroot_env"/srv/svn/repos/

Automatic mount is described in the Automount section

Install Subversion

Just run the following in chroot to install subversion. Hit yes for dependencies. 

apt-get install subversion
Create a repository

A new subversion user group should be created. This can be done by creating a new user called svn and and the existing users to this group, as follows: 

useradd svn
usermod -a -G svn user1

Where user1 is an existing user that is added to the group svn.

Set a new password for the user svn: 

passwd svn

Create a new repository for testing: 

svnadmin create /srv/svn/repos/test
chown -R svn:svn /srv/svn

Don’t forget to change the permission for all users in the group svn for the test project: 

chmod -R g+w /srv/svn/repos/test

Test the setting by usinf the file protocol: 

svn co file:///srv/svn/repos/test /tmp/test

This will check out our test project to /tmp/test. You should get an output like “Checked out revision 0″.

Create a Startup Script

All that's needed here is to create a new file and add the command to startup svnserve. This can be done as follows: 

cd /etc/init.d/
touch svnserve
vi svnserve

Then copy/paste the following to the file svnserve: 

#!/bin/sh -e

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          svnserve
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $network
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $network      
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start the lighttpd web server.
### END INIT INFO


PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
DAEMON="/usr/bin/svnserve"
NAME=svnserve
DESC="svn server"
SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME

OPTIONS="-d -r /srv/svn --pid-file /var/run/svnserve.pid"

[ -x $DAEMON ] || exit 0

. /lib/lsb/init-functions

case "$1" in
    start)
        log_daemon_msg "Starting svnserve"
        start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/svnserve.pid \
            --exec $DAEMON -- $OPTIONS
        log_end_msg 0
        ;;
    stop)
        log_daemon_msg "Stopping svnserve"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/svnserve.pid \
            --oknodo
        log_end_msg 0
        ;;
    restart)
        log_daemon_msg "Restarting svnserve"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/svnserve.pid \
            --oknodo
        sleep 1
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/svnserve.pid \
            --exec $DAEMON -- $OPTIONS
        log_end_msg 0
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/svnserver.sh {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 2
        ;;
esac

exit 0

chmod +x /etc/init.d/svnserve

And then to start you can run 

/etc/init.d/svnserve start

And to stop it you run 

/etc/init.d/svnserve stop
Add svnserve to runlevel for automatic startup

In order to make svnserve automatically start you need to link the newly created startup script into the runlevel directories. 

cd /etc/rc2.d
ln -s /etc/init.d/svnserve S19svnserve

cd /etc/rc3.d
ln -s /etc/init.d/svnserve S19svnserve

cd /etc/rc4.d
ln -s /etc/init.d/svnserve S19svnserve

cd /etc/rc5.d
ln -s /etc/init.d/svnserve S19svnserve
Test your new subversion server

Verify subversion is running 

ps -ef |grep svn

Should output this: 

root     13811     1  0 21:33 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/svnserve -d -r /srv/svn --pid-file /var/run/svnserve.pid

then you can svn co svn://YOUR.2BIG2.IP.ADDRESS/repos/YOUR_REPO

X Window System (X11)

Props go to quicknick and andreus.

  • Install the following packages and hit yes to agree to install the needed dependencies:
apt-get install xvfb fluxbox x11vnc
  • Copy pre-created script (or create it yourself) and put it in your squeeze/lenny "/bin" directory
wget -O /bin/x11 http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/andreus/scripts/debian/x11.txt
  • Give execute permissions to that script
chmod +x /bin/x11
  • You know have a start/stop script of X11. Usage: "x11 start" or "x11 stop" or "x11 info" or "x11 log". Start X11 
x11 start
  • Use a VNC Viewer and access to Your Lacie in a graphical interface

JDownloader

Props go to andreus.

Please note that, for now, you'll have to use JDownloader with X11 through VNC connection with makes it very slow to use.
At least, you can also use JDownloader Web Manager.

STEP 1: Install dependencies
  • Install and test Java
apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
//Test java
java -version
STEP 2: Install JDownloader
  • Download JDownloader install/update/run script
mkdir /opt/jdownloader
cd /opt/jdownloader
//Download wget install script
wget http://212.117.163.148/jd.sh
//Change in "jd.sh" all "-Xmx512m" for "-Xmx192m" and "JDDIR=~/.jd" for "JDDIR=/opt/jdownloader" and define the DISPLAY variable
sed -i 's/Xmx512m/Xmx192m/g' jd.sh
sed -i 's/~\/\.jd/\/opt\/jdownloader/g' jd.sh
sed -i 's/JDDIR=/export DISPLAY=\:1\nJDDIR=/g' jd.sh
//Give execute permission to jd.sh
chmod +x jd.sh
  • Run X11
x11 start
  • Now install (and update) JDownloader by running "/opt/jdownloader/jd.sh" script in x11 graphical environment using VNC (use XTerm)
NOTE: it will take more than 15 minutes). In the setup, you have too select the language and the download folder.
  • Now start JDownloader by running "/opt/jdownloader/jd.sh" script in x11 graphical environment using VNC (use XTerm) and go to "Options" -> "Plugins & Add-ons" -> "Extensions" and activate the webserver. You can also configure the webserver in the "JD Web interface" menu item
  • Close JDownloader and close VNC connection
  • Copy pre-created script (or create it yourself) and put it in your squeeze/lenny "/opt/jdownloader" directory
wget -O /opt/jdownloader/jdownloader http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/andreus/scripts/debian/jdownloader.txt
  • Give execute permission and create a symlink to "/bin" so it can be executed from anywhere
cd /opt/jdownloader/
chmod +x jdownloader
ln -s /opt/jdownloader/jdownloader /bin/jdownloader
  • You know have a start/stop script of JDownloader. Usage: "jdownloader start" or "jdownloader update" or "jdownloader stop" or "jdownloader info" or "jdownloader log".
STEP 3: Running JDownloader
  • Start X11 and a VNC connection
x11 start
  • Start JDownloader in xterm
jdownloader start
  • You can now use JDownloader trough VNC and JDownloader Web Manager to download what you want

More information:

xfe (File Manager)

  • Install a file browser that you can use within VNC or SSH
apt-get install xfe


Ipkg binary packages (without Chroot Environment)

There is lots of cool stuff out there and binary packages already built for armel is awesome. Some may ask what is the benefit of this way versus a chroot environment and I'd tell you it is far easier, lighter in weight (less taxing) than a chroot environment and newer packages than a lenny environment. Another bonus is that you can add daemons to initng so when Lacie starts up so does your daemons.

DISCLAIMER: Please use partedmagic or some other linux OS to backup your partitions because this method does not protect you like a chroot environment. All packages will install in /opt/ this makes it easy for us to remove installed packages. Consider yourself warned.

Install ipkg

Props go to bago (Source).

STEP 1: Create a home for ipkg
  • For avoiding problems with lack of space, first you should make a private share that way you have a lot of space and an easy way to add files without having to scp or ssh to it all the time. To do that, create a private share "opt" in the dashboard (Dashboard -> Shares)
  • Mount "opt" share on Lacie OS
//If it doesn't exists allready, create an opt folder and mount it with opt share
mkdir /opt
mount -o bind /shares/opt /opt
STEP 2: Installing ipkg
  • Add package repository and ipkg location URLs to variables
cd /opt
//Add package repository URLs to variables
feed=http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/stable
feednative=http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/native/unstable
//Add ipkg location URLs to variable
ipk_name=`wget -qO- $feed/Packages | awk '/^Filename: ipkg-opt/ {print $2}'`
  • Download, extract and delete ipkg install package
wget $feed/$ipk_name
tar -xOvzf $ipk_name ./data.tar.gz | tar -C / -xzvf -
rm $ipk_name
  • Configure ipkg package sources
mkdir -p /opt/etc/ipkg
echo "src cross $feed" > /opt/etc/ipkg/feeds.conf
echo "src native $feednative" >> /opt/etc/ipkg/feeds.conf
STEP 3: Ipkg time
  • Add "/opt/bin" to system PATH in "/root/.profile" and source it
//Add "/opt/bin" to system PATH in "/root/.profile"
echo -e "\nexport PATH=/opt/bin:\$PATH" >> /root/.profile
//Source /root/.profile so you don't need to restart
source /root/.profile
  • Finish setting ipkg (update it)
ipkg update
  • That's it your ipkg is installed!

Install Subversion Server

I use svn with a great deal of regularity so here is a similar method to the chroot environment.

I'll also be integrating this with the lacie webpage to administer easier.

Memory usage = 918kb
Props go to quicknick.

Install
ipkg install svn

verify all of it's packages install by running svn --version 

svn, version 1.6.15 (r1038135)
   compiled Nov 25 2010, 21:22:22

You'll see this version is a later revision than the package in lenny (1.5.1). Of course you could compile a later version, but I'll leave that to people who really want the latest and greatest

Configure

Modify /etc/group and add svn group with a user ie YOURUSERNAME to the svn group 

echo -e "svn:!:21:YOURUSERNAME >> /etc/group
adduser -D -G svn svn

Where YOURUSERNAME is your user name you added from Lacie dashboard.

Create a new directory for repositories, and create a new repository for testing: 

mkdir /srv/svn
mkdir /srv/svn/repos

mount -o bind /shares/repos /srv/repos

svnadmin create /srv/svn/repos/test
chown -R svn:svn /srv/svn

This will create a new directory called /srv/svn/repos which contains a new testing repository test.

Automatic mount on 2big network bootup just add the following to /etc/fstab 

echo -e "/shares/repos/\t/svn/repos\tdefaults\tbind\t0 0" >> /etc/fstab

Don’t forget to change the permission for all users in the group svn for the test project: 

chmod -R g+w /srv/svn/repos/test

Test the setting by using the file protocol: 

svn co file:///svn/repos/test /tmp/test

Start svnserve and test remotely 

svnserve -d -r /svn

Verify svnserve runs manually by running the following: 

ps |grep svn

Will output the following: 

12069 root      7284 S    /opt/bin/svnserve -d -r /svn

From your client box run the following to checkout 

svn co svn://YOUR.2BIG2.IP.ADDRESS/repos/test /tmp/test
initng Startup Script
cd /etc/initng
touch svnserve.i

Then copy the following: 

#!/sbin/itype
# This is a i file, used by initng parsed by install_service

daemon svnserve {
	need = bootmisc sshd/generate_keys virtual/net;
	exec daemon = /opt/bin/svnserve -d -r /svn;
	pid_file = /var/run/svnserve.pid;
	daemon_stops_badly;
	forks;
}

Then paste in vi 

vi svnserve.i

Close vi and then run test the svnserve service 

ngc -z svnserve
ngc --stop svnserve
ngc --start svnserve

Verify the service is running: 

ps |grep svn
Repository on lacie storage

If you created a share on lacie storage follow the automount section to automatically mount your storage and then the subversion service start section.

Repository on root filesystem
note: If you just created /svn on the root file system then use this.

Add svnserve to the default runlevel 

echo -e "svnserve" >> /etc/initng/runlevel/default.runlevel

Verify "svnserve" has been added to /etc/initng/runlevel/default.runlevel 

cat /etc/initng/runlevel/default.runlevel

Should output the following: 

initial
dbus
udev
hald
clock
dhcdbd
logrotate
syslogd
klogd
swap
modules
mountfs
mountuserfs
raid
usb
hostname
NetworkManager
http
getty/1
sshd
cron
unicorn
thumbd
svnserve

Reboot your Lacie 

reboot

When the Lacie comes back up check to see if the service is running 

ps |grep svn

and 

ngc --status

If setup correctly it should return with: 

1389 root      7284 S    /opt/bin/svnserve -d -r /svn

Install MiniDLNA 1.0.24 (released 15 March 2011)

By default Lacie 2Big Network 2 uses TwonkyMedia Server as UPnP/DLNA server, but you can use others.
The goal here is replace TwonkyMedia Server for MiniDLNA in Lacie OS.
Note: that with Showtime and MiniDLNA in Lacie OS you CAN stream movies with subtitles to your PS3.
Props go to andreus.

STEP 1: Installing dependencies
  • Install zlib, readline, ncurses and e2fslibs
ipkg install zlib readline ncurses e2fslibs
  • Install and test ffmpeg, flac, sqlite and multimedia libraries (exif, id3tag, ogg, vorbis)
cd /opt
ipkg install ffmpeg flac libexif libid3tag libjpeg libogg libvorbis
//Test ffmpeg
ffmpeg -version
//Test flac
flac -v
  • Install and test sqlite
ipkg install sqlite
//Test sqlite
sqlite3 -version
STEP 2: Compiling & Installing MiniDLNA
  • Install compile dependencies
ipkg install binutils gcc libc-dev libnsl libtool make m4 libstdc++
  • Download source and extract it
mkdir /opt/src
cd /opt/src
//Get zipped file
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/files/minidlna/1.0.24/minidlna_1.0.24_src.tar.gz
//Extract zipped file
tar zxvf minidlna_1.0.24_src.tar.gz
//Delete zipped file to save space
rm minidlna_1.0.24_src.tar.gz
  • Compile minidlna and install it. Then delete source files and test minidlna
//Change in "genconfig.sh" and "Makefile" all "usr" for "opt" in order to correct the paths
cd /opt/src/minidlna-1.0.24
sed -i 's/usr/opt/g' genconfig.sh
sed -i 's/usr/opt/g' Makefile
//Create symlink to "libpthread" library
ln -s /opt/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/lib/libpthread.so /opt/lib/libpthread.so
ln -s /opt/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/lib/libpthread.so.0 /opt/lib/libpthread.so.0
//Compile!! This next process could take up to 5 minutes
make
  • Install minidlna. Then delete source files and test minidlna
//Copy compiled files to directories
cp minidlna /opt/sbin
cp minidlna.conf /opt/etc
mkdir /tmp/minidlna
//Symlink multimedia libraries
ln -s /opt/lib/libexif.so.12.3.1 /usr/lib/libexif.so.12

//Delete source files
cd /opt
rm -rf /opt/src
//Test MiniDLNA
/opt/sbin/minidlna -V
  • Change your config file in "/opt/etc/minidlna.conf"
STEP 3: Running MiniDLNA
wget -O /opt/bin/minidlna http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/andreus/scripts/lacieos-ipkg/minidlna.txt
  • Give execute permission to file
cd /opt/bin/
chmod +x minidlna
  • Run MiniDLNA
minidlna start
  • If you completed everything correctly you'll have MiniDLNA running. Now you can check from UPnP reader device (PS3, Windows Media Player or other)

More information

STEP 4: Stop TwonkyMediaServer daemon (initng startup script)

Since you already have MiniDLNA working you can now stop your original UPnP/DLNA Server (TwonkyMediaServer) so you can save some memory.

  • Edit "/etc/initng/twonkymedia.i" and change:
    /bin/rm -f /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymediaserver-log.txt;
    /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia -D -inifile /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia-server.ini -logfile /var/log/twonkymedia.log -v 1;
    to
    # /bin/rm -f /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymediaserver-log.txt;
    # /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia -D -inifile /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia-server.ini -logfile /var/log/twonkymedia.log -v 1;
  • Restart your Lacie
reboot
STEP 5: MiniDLNA daemon (initng startup script)
wget -O /etc/initng/minidlna.i http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/andreus/scripts/lacieos-ipkg/minidlna.i.txt
Please note that this script is for using with automount shares. If you don't use ipkg in a share remove " samba-bind" from this file.
  • Add it to initng startup script
echo -e "minidlna" >> /etc/initng/runlevel/default.runlevel
  • Restart your Lacie 
reboot

Install PS3MediaServer 1.21.1 (released 14 April 2011)

By default Lacie 2Big Network 2 uses TwonkyMedia Server as UPnP/DLNA server, but you can use others.
The goal here is replace TwonkyMedia Server for PS3MediaServer in Lacie OS.
WARNING: This method works for installing PS3MediaServer, but since the ipkg mencoder package has errors, it doesn't work for transcoding with mencoder (ex: for subtitles).
Props go to quicknick and andreus.

STEP 1: Installing dependencies
  • Install and test Java
cd /opt
//Get zipped file
wget http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/quicknick/ps3mediaserver/OpenJDK-camswl.tar.gz
//Extract zipped file
tar zxvf OpenJDK-camswl.tar.gz
//Delete zipped file to save space
rm OpenJDK-camswl.tar.gz
//Link Java to /opt/bin
ln -s /opt/OpenJDK-camswl/bin/java /opt/bin/java
ln -s /opt/OpenJDK-camswl/bin/javac /opt/bin/javac
//Test java
java -version
  • Install and test ffmpeg and vlc

cp -Rrp /opt/QtPalmtop/* /opt/
//Remove not needed files
rm -rf /opt/QtPalmtop/
rm mplayer-bvdd_1.1.5-1_arm.ipk
//Test mplayer
mplayer
//Download subtitle font to "/root/.mplayer/"
wget -P /root/.mplayer/ http://ps3mediaserver.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ps3mediaserver/win32/mplayer/subfont.ttf
  • Install and test mencoder
//Get package
wget http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/quicknick/ps3mediaserver/mencoder_1.1.0-1_arm.ipk
//Install package
ipkg install mencoder_1.1.0-1_arm.ipk
cp -Rrp /opt/QtPalmtop/* /opt/
//Remove not needed files
rm -rf /opt/QtPalmtop/
rm mencoder_1.1.0-1_arm.ipk
//Test mencoder
mencoder -ovc help
  • Install compile dependencies (needed for compiling mediainfo), and create symlink to ldconfig (you'll need for install)
ipkg install binutils gcc libc-dev libnsl libtool make m4 libstdc++
ln -s /opt/share/ipkg/intercept/ldconfig /opt/bin/ldconfig
  • Download source and compile libzen, libmediainfo and mediainfo. Then delete source files and test mediainfo 
mkdir /opt/src
cd /opt/src
//Extract zipped file
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mediainfo/MediaInfo_CLI_0.7.44_GNU_FromSource.tar.bz2
//Extract zipped file
tar xvjf MediaInfo_CLI_0.7.44_GNU_FromSource.tar.bz2
//Delete zipped file to save space
rm MediaInfo_CLI_0.7.44_GNU_FromSource.tar.bz2
//Compile!! This next process could take up to 2 hours so take a break and come back later
cd MediaInfo_CLI_GNU_FromSource
./CLI_Compile.sh
//When it finishes copy mediainfo file to bin dir
cp /opt/src/MediaInfo_CLI_GNU_FromSource/MediaInfo/Project/GNU/CLI/mediainfo /opt/bin/
//Now install ZenLib
cd /opt/src/MediaInfo_CLI_GNU_FromSource/ZenLib/Project/GNU/Library/
make install
//Now install libmediainfo
cd /opt/src/MediaInfo_CLI_GNU_FromSource/MediaInfoLib/Project/GNU/Library/
make install
//Copy libraries files to lib folder
cp -Rrp /usr/local/lib/lib* /opt/lib/
//Delete source files
cd /opt
rm -rf /opt/src
//Test
mediainfo --version
STEP 2: Installing PS3MediaServer
  • Install ps3mediaserver (download, extract and delete tgz file)
cd /opt
//Get zipped file
wget http://ps3mediaserver.googlecode.com/files/pms-generic-linux-unix-1.21.1.tgz
//Extract zipped file
tar -xvf pms-generic-linux-unix-1.21.1.tgz
//Delete zipped file
rm pms-generic-linux-unix-1.21.1.tgz
cd /opt/pms-linux-1.21.1/
  • Create configuration file and put what you want to share (you can share the folders you want, separate with ",")
echo "folders=/shares/YOUR.SHARE.NAME/" > PMS.conf
Note: All configuration options in PS3MediaServer source code. You can change the file "/opt/pms-linux-1.21.1/PMS.conf" for general configurations and "/opt/pms-linux-1.21.1/WEB.conf" for webservices configurations.
STEP 3: Running PS3MediaServer
  • Copy pre-created script (or create it yourself) and put it in your squeeze/lenny "/opt/pms-linux-1.21.1" directory
wget -O /opt/pms-linux-1.21.1/pms http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/andreus/scripts/lacieos-ipkg/pms.txt
Please note that this script is for using with automount shares. If you don't use ipkg in a share remove " samba-bind" from this file.
  • Give execute permission and create a symlink to "/opt/bin" so it can be executed from anywhere
cd /opt/pms-linux-1.21.1/
chmod +x pms
ln -s /opt/pms-linux-1.21.1/pms /opt/bin/pms
  • You know have a start/stop script of PS3MediaServer. Usage: "pms start" or "pms stop" or "pms log". Start PS3MediaPlayer 
pms start
  • If you completed everything correctly you'll have a PS3MediaServer. Now you can check from UPnP reader device (PS3, Windows Media Player or other)
STEP 4: Stop TwonkyMediaServer daemon (initng startup script)

Since you already have PS3MediaServer working you can now stop your original UPnP Server (TwonkyMediaServer) so you can save some memory.

  • Edit "/etc/initng/twonkymedia.i" and change:
    /bin/rm -f /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymediaserver-log.txt;
    /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia -D -inifile /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia-server.ini -logfile /var/log/twonkymedia.log -v 1;
    to
    # /bin/rm -f /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymediaserver-log.txt;
    # /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia -D -inifile /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia-server.ini -logfile /var/log/twonkymedia.log -v 1;
  • Restart your Lacie
reboot
STEP 5: PS3MediaServer daemon (initng startup script)
wget -O /etc/initng/ps3mediaserver.i http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/andreus/scripts/lacieos-ipkg/ps3mediaserver.i.txt
  • Add it to initng startup script
echo -e "ps3mediaserver" >> /etc/initng/runlevel/default.runlevel
  • Restart your Lacie 
reboot

Compile your own software

Props go to quicknick.
The following will need to be installed:

  • autoconf
  • automake
  • binutils
  • gcc
  • gettext
  • libc-dev
  • libnsl
  • libtool
  • make
  • m4

Install the all of these dependencies by running the following: 

ipkg install gcc binutils make libtool autoconf automake gettext

Good luck compiling, make sure you backup your drives for easy restores.

Ditch Lacie OS and Install Debian Sid

WIP Instead of being limited to the Lacie OS, you can blow it away and install Debian Sid.

Connect to Lacie via Clunc

Download clunc and run the following command: 

./clunc -i YOUR.2BIG2.IP.ADDRESS

Reboot your Lacie and then just wait till you see the Marvel prompt 

Marvel>>
tftpboot method

You'll need to have a tftp server for this.

Once you have set up a tftp server download uImage and place in the tftpboot directory. 

setenv ipaddr ${NAS_IP}; setenv serverip ${SERVER_IP}; tftpboot 800000 uImage

You'll see the following:

Then boot the debian sid kernel 

bootm 0x800000


usb boot method

Download uImage and place on the root of a fat or fat32 usb drive.

create the following script "usb_boot" where your clunc resides and paste the following in the file 

#!/bin/bash
#
nas_ip='''NAS IP'''
# You can get it by ifconfig eth0
server_ip='''YOUR SERVER IP'''
server_mac='''YOUR SERVER MAC'''

echo -e "
set mainlineLinux 2206;
setenv bootargs netconsole=6666@${nas_ip}/,6666@${server_ip}/${server_mac} auto=true debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated=true file=/preseed.cfg;
usb reset;
fatload usb 0:1 0x800000 uImage;
usb stop;
bootm 0x800000;
" | ./clunc -i ${nas_ip} -t 60

Run the script

Connect to debian sid

telnet

Backups

After you get root access you can backup your lacie partitions.

  • Backup your MBR Blocks
//MBR block of disk a
dd if=/dev/sda of=/shares/[YOUR_SHARE_NAME]/sda.mbr count=1 bs=512
//MBR block of disk b
dd if=/dev/sdb of=/shares/[YOUR_SHARE_NAME]/sdb.mbr count=1 bs=512
  • Backup LacieOS partitions (you only need to backup partition 6, 7, 8)
//Partition 1 (disk a & b): Extended (contains sda5, sda6, sda7, sda8, sda9 and sda10)
dd if=/dev/sda1 | gzip > /shares/[YOUR_SHARE_NAME]/partition1a.gz
dd if=/dev/sdb1 | gzip > /shares/[YOUR_SHARE_NAME]/partition1b.gz
//Partition 5 (disk a & b): Swap
dd if=/dev/sda5 | gzip > /shares/[YOUR_SHARE_NAME]/partition5a.gz
dd if=/dev/sdb5 | gzip > /shares/[YOUR_SHARE_NAME]/partition5b.gz
//Partition 6 (disk a & b): U-Boot uImage
dd if=/dev/sda6 | gzip > /shares/[YOUR_SHARE_NAME]/partition6a.gz
dd if=/dev/sdb6 | gzip > /shares/[YOUR_SHARE_NAME]/partition6b.gz
//Partition 7 (disk a & b): Initial root filesystem
dd if=/dev/sda7 | gzip > /shares/[YOUR_SHARE_NAME]/partition7a.gz
dd if=/dev/sdb7 | gzip > /shares/[YOUR_SHARE_NAME]/partition7b.gz
//Partition 8 (disk a & b): Runtime root filesystem
dd if=/dev/sda8 | gzip > /shares/[YOUR_SHARE_NAME]/partition8a.gz
dd if=/dev/sdb8 | gzip > /shares/[YOUR_SHARE_NAME]/partition8b.gz
//Partition 9 (disk a & b): Runtime root filesystem
dd if=/dev/sda9 | gzip > /shares/[YOUR_SHARE_NAME]/partition9a.gz
dd if=/dev/sdb9 | gzip > /shares/[YOUR_SHARE_NAME]/partition9b.gz
//Partition 10 (disk a & b): U-Boot image
dd if=/dev/sda10 | gzip > /shares/[YOUR_SHARE_NAME]/partition10a.gz
dd if=/dev/sdb10 | gzip > /shares/[YOUR_SHARE_NAME]/partition10b.gz
  • Backup User data partitions (Note: you have to have a larger external disk than your lacie to backup this partitions)
//Partition 2 (disk a & b): User shares
dd if=/dev/sda2 | gzip > /shares/[YOUR_EXTERNAL_DISK_SHARE_NAME]/partition2a.gz
dd if=/dev/sdb2 | gzip > /shares/[YOUR_EXTERNAL_DISK_SHARE_NAME]/partition2b.gz

Please note that this full backup will take a lot of time.

Updates

There are 3 methods for updating your 2Big firmware:

1. Auto-update/Update Using the Dashboard

Lacie explains this method pretty good.

2. Update Using LaCie Network Assistant

Lacie explains this method pretty good.

3. Manual Force Update

This method isn't in Lacie manuals.

If you are having problems with updating your NAS with the 2 previous methods:

  • In the dashboard, create a share named "Share" (on Network Space 2/MAX is "MyShare")
  • Create a folder in that share named "Update"
 Note: In Network Space 2 lower version, you don't need to create the "Update" folder (see the Network Space 2 from 1.0.2 to 1.2.5 using MyShare)
  • Download the capsule file from Lacie FTP
  • Put the *.capsule file in that folder (ex: /Share/Update/2bignetwork2_2.0.5.capsule, or /MyShare/Update/2bignetwork2_2.0.5.capsule on Network Space 2/MAX)
  • Reboot your NAS
  • Wait for the upgrade. It should take a while
  • When it's done you can delete the share "Share" from the dashboard (on Network Space 2/MAX is "MyShare")

Factory Reset

If you are having problems you can do factory reset to get your default firmware. Lacie explains this method pretty good.
