[HOWTO] Install Midnight Commander (embedded)

[ernie]

Thanks Raulfg3 and Crest.

I follow the advice of Crest:

Hello ernie,

I have updated my nas (version 10.3.0.3 - Pilingitam (revision 4107) / x64-embedded with OBI, and MC installed with OBI) to 11.1.0.4 - Atomics (revision 4528) embedded.

Now in CLI I have this:

Code: Select all

nas4free1: ~# mc
Shared object "libssl.so.6" not found, required by "mc"
nas4free1: ~# 

Any advice is welcome.

B.R.

Please check if you have the most recent OBI installed (0.3.4.1) and update it if not. Then activate re-install in OBI and perform the installation of mc again. After that log out from the CLI and login again, mc should start as expected.

Regards
crest

Now it works

I finally got around to upgrading my NAS from 9.1.0.1 to 11.1.0.4.

Being unable to upgrade further using the "firmware upgrade" method put me off, and everything was working perfectly for me on 9.1.0.1, and then there was a drive failure, and then one of the RAM sticks developed a fault.

Anyway, I have now updated the script for 11.1.0.4. You can find it at the beginning of this thread.

Now updated for XigmaNAS 11.2.0.4.

Please, update for 12.0.0.4 - BETA

Hi ...
The Midnight Commander install script only needs a small tweak in order to work correctly with e 12.0.0.4 beta install.

It seems that the MC*.txz file name file in the server has been updated and changed...

How to get mc work on XigmaNAS 12.0-RELEASE embedded

First, clean <path-to-OBI-common-directory>/midnightcommander directory and get installer script in there

Code: Select all

# fetch https://github.com/ginggs/xigmanas-mcommander/raw/master/mcommander.sh

Make small fixes

Code: Select all

-MCFILE="mc-4.8.20_2.txz"
-LIBSLANGFILE="libslang2-2.3.1_3.txz"
+MCFILE="mc-4.8.21.txz"
+LIBSLANGFILE="libslang2-2.3.2_1.txz"

Then save it and run with full path. If there is existing symlinks warnings, reboot the NAS and run the script again.

Also you'll need to add mcommander.sh (with full path) in System > Advanced > Command Scripts (PostInit type) so it'll automatically restore symlinks under /usr/local after NAS reboot.

Thanks! I've committed these changes in git now.

Works excellent after reboot (12.1.0.4 - Ingva (revision 7091)

Code: Select all

#cd /mnt/mynas
#mkdir mc
#cd mc
#fetch https://github.com/ginggs/xigmanas-mcommander/raw/master/mcommander.sh
#chmod u+x mcommander.sh
#/mnt/mynas/mc/mcommander.sh
#reboot

Before reboot, add
"/mnt/mynas/mc/mcommander.sh" in
SYSTEM->ADVANCED->COMMAND SCRIPTS
as PostInit type

No need to fix anything, it's already fixed in script (04.dec 2019)
