Trying to install plex media server from SSH.

kinda_fellin · 21. Dezember 2012

I keep getting the following:

"-dash: cannot create /etc/apt/sources.list: permission denied"

Google has turned up nothing. I am at my ropes end. Please help!

What command were you using when you got that?

kinda_fellin · 21. Dezember 2012

sudo echo "deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian squeeze main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

You would be better to sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and add the line to the end of the file. Ctrl-O to save and ctrl-X to exit.

Sorry, I am pretty new to linux. you're gonna have to dumb it down for me. Explain it like I'm five if you will.

The command you are trying to run is adding the following line to the /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian squeeze main

Instead, do the following:

Login as root.
Execute this command to start a file editor called nano: nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Go to the end of the file and type: deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian squeeze main
Hit Ctrl-O to save it.
Hit Ctrl-X to exit nano.
Type: apt-get update

Is that five??

I won't let me save the changes to the file. It keeps saying permission denied.

kinda_fellin · 21. Dezember 2012

I got it to work. I had to do it from the console. I wonder why it won't let me do anything over SSH?

kinda_fellin · 21. Dezember 2012

Well I guess it errored out. This is turning out to be a real hassle compared to installing something in windows.

ryecoaaron · 21. Dezember 2012

Are you logging in as root over ssh? What error are you getting now? What instructions are you following?

If you install something that is in the Debian repository, it is usually easier than Windows.

Got it working! I ended up reinstalling OMV because it was only on a 2GB USB key. It is now on an 80GB hard drive. I modified the sources file as ryecoaaron suggested, saved changes, and then ran "sudo-apt install plexmediaserver". Now to install transmission... I think these two programs should be available as plugins.

Instructions to isntall on OMV, using root session in command line:

apt-get install curl
echo "deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian squeeze main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
curl http://shell.ninthgate.se/pack…-ninthgate-se-keyring.key | sudo apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install plexmediaserver

Jetzt mitmachen!
