Hallo zusammen,

irgendwie scheint die im Paketzentrum hinterlegte CloudStation Beta nicht mit der 4.0-2197 zu funktionieren. Ich erhalte bei dem Versuch die CloudStation zu installieren folgende Meldung: "Cloud Station: Die Version des installierten Pakets ist {0}. Diese Version ist mit Ihrer DiskStation nicht kompatibel. Akualisieren sie auf {1} oder höher." Da man es nicht installieren kann, kann man es auch nicht updaten. Da muss Synology wohl die Cloud Station noch im Paketzentrum aktualisieren. Oder jemand eine Idee?

 

[Nastas]

Jetzt warte halt mal ab, da greift jetzt halt jeder Hans zu. Bei mir dauert das ewig bis ich überhaubt die Pakete sehe. Lass den Jungs ein wenig mehr Zeit, bis die das alles aktualisiert haben. Als ehemaliger Qnap'ler bin ich wirklich zufrieden mit meiner Synology. Vor allem die neue Firmware gefällt mir sehr.


MfG
Nastas

Die Updates der Pakete haben bei mir anstandslos funktioniert.

Interessant und neu:

Upgraded Apache web server to 2.2.22, php module to 5.3.10 and openssl to 1.0.0g.
Improved NTFS Performance:
data transfer rate between NTFS external disks and DiskStation can be 3.7 times as fast as DSM 3.2.

@amarthius, aber erst wenn das Paket installiert ist. Wenn man es wegen dieser Meldung gar nicht installiert bekommt, kann man es auch nicht updaten. Hatte die Beta version der 4.0 vorher nicht drauf.

Ok. Klappt es manuell auch nicht? (Nicht per Paketmanager)

 

[dsieb]

Das funktioniert. Danke für den Hinweis!

Achja habt ihr im Paketzentrum die Trennung "Pakete von Dritten" gesehen? Gab es die vorher schon?

 

[joku]

"Pakete von Dritten" gesehen? Gab es die vorher schon?

Ich habe es erst ab der 4.o beta gesehen

 

[Trolli]

Nein, das gibt es erst seit gestern. Hiermit wurde das im internationalen Forum bekanntgegeben:

While we do package select third-party software for compatibility with DSM, oftentimes there will be updates or issues regarding these software that we are unaware of. In these types of cases, we recommend contacting the developers and visit their forums for proper support of these packages. However, we have also provided these forums for advanced users to contribute to our knowledge base. Members can communicate and exchange ideas, code, and software modifications to better enhance the Synology experience. Please keep in mind, Synology DOES NOT SUPPORT anything discussed in this forum, and this is for your personal use only!

Synology will not guarantee that installing third-party packages will not affect server stability.

Synology will not provide support for those who modify their units.

...wobei die Trennung für mich auch nicht ganz schlüssig ist, da auch in den anderen Paketen Software verwendet wird, die nicht von Synology stammt (Roundcube, ClamAV, Firefly etc.).

 

[amarthius]

Ich habe es erst ab der 4.o beta gesehen

Er meint nicht "Andere Quellen", die es schon zur Beta gab. Sondern unter "Verfügbar" ganz unten "Pakete von Dritten".

 

[Trolli]

Ja. Wir reden schon vom gleichen. Das sind die Pakete um die es geht...

Betroffen sind:

• phpMyAdmin
• Logitech Media Server
• Webalizer
• HASP
• OpenERP

File Station / Audio Station

Hallo
funktionieren bei euch filestation bzw audio station? ich meine mit einem direktem Aufruf?
zb http://diskstation:7000 oder https://diskstation:7001

Ist im AppPortal eingetragen, allerdings kommt gleich die Meldung seite nicht verfügbar... (er überlegt keine sekunde)
Firewall ist off

Jemand eine Idee?

 

[Nasi]

Werden bei dem Update eigentlich auch die Musik ,Videosund Fotos gelöscht?

 

[Trolli]

Natürlich wird nichts gelöscht. Auch sämtliche Einstellungen bleiben erhalten. Trotzdem sollte man selbstverständlich immer ein Backup zur Hand haben...

 

[DKeppi]

Bei nem Kollegen von mir wurden beim Update von 3.2 auf 4.0 die VPN Server Konfigs gelöscht.

Sonst blieb aber alles erhalten...

 

[Nasi]

Mann...schon 20 Minuten Dateiübertragung ,ist das normal?
Hoffentlich geht das gut

 

[Trolli]

Das passiert oft, wenn man die Aktualisierung über https macht. Am besten funktioniert es, wenn man das über eine http-Verbindung macht.

Du kannst die Aktualisierung auch einfach abbrechen und nochmal probieren...

[dam_j]

Moin,

Wie update ich denn am besten "saubersten" von 3.2 auf 4.0 ? Über die Mac Software oder über die Update-Funktion.
Könnte mich fast ärgern nachdem ich heute morgen angefangen habe meine neue 411er zu füllen...
