Raspi B+ repositry and update

HI there
I've finally got my OVM set-up on my Raspberry Pi B+ and so far so good.
I've installed omv_2.0.15 as the newer version always fail. I did absolutely no update or "funny's" to make it work.
When I try and get plugins, or just the repository, I always get issues with the packages. I tried to grab, minidlna, but it does not install and tell me the packages is not available. From what I've read, I am hyper cautious to update, but even tried that and once again it failed.
I do not want to start over as I am busy adding users and shares and a bad install could ruin it with my old Raspberry.

How can I get the updates and repo's without chrashing my system?

I've done that in with the newer version according to a thread on this forum. The post said to remove the old php5-pam files, then follow the instructions as you said. When I did that the web interface only said "It worked!" That is more or less the standard Linux web server response if you set it up normally. Upon next boot, the Raspi was just stuck - it booted to a point I can't recall from memory, then it was stuck. I thought initially it was my SD as I understood that the partition will be enlarged automatically. I bought a top notch hologrammed SD in retaliation! But it was to no avail. So i tried version 2.0.15.

I did not try the commands with the current 2.0.15 version of OMV I have. I will give it a bash tonight.
Regards

I just did run the command and this is the output.

I followed your instructions with 2.1 release, and there the webinterface is back. I am busy updating but added this command line

apt-mark hold php5-pam

I hope I am not messing it up again. I did not find the php5-pam on the webinterface, which is good news, as the packages do get read and it is busy fetching the packages.
Thank you, that seems to solve my Pi B+ problem.

I've done your instructions, but after I've updated the sources and all packages except for php5-pam, as I stated above, I can no longer get access to any packages. Brother...
The update manager in the web interface start with "Failed to execute command 'export LANG=C; apt-get update......."
And to install plugins specifically minidlna, just returns plenty of "Failed to fetch .... "

Thank you for helping.
Here is the output. Remember its (only) a Raspberry Pi B+ that has been overclocked at 900MHz for years with one of the original Raspi images... So be gentle with it! LOL!

I've deleted some line as I get a complaint that my message is too long. I'm attaching the full output.

Ok, I belive I've set the DNS server now.
I've also tried four DNS IP's provided by my ISP. I've manually set the DNS servers in the ADSL router as well. All results are the same.

I'm not sure I follow. The DNS names do get resolved, and my router is linked via ADSL to a DNS server provided by my ISP.

What should I point OMV DNS to?
Must I use my router's IP (gateway address) as above or should I use an altogether different DNS address? My ISP provide 4 manual DNS servers if I need it, of which I can choose any two.

Hi there.
I followed some advice in this post.

http://forums.openmediavault.o…hen-IP-DNS-is-set-static/

It was suggested that the OP got it working by using DHCP on not static IP.
I changed to DHCP and immediately afterwards it was updating all packages. I installed miniDLNA and its working.

Perhaps this is a bug?

I did not delete and recreate the ethernet port though.

Thanks.
Not sure how my network affects it. After running all updates, I am now back on static IP, and can install plugins as it should.
