Newb: OMV 6 basics (OMV 5 vs OMV 6)

  • Hi,

    With help from you guys I have set up a OMV5 system before and it's running fine (touch wood...) but now I'm trying to set up a V6...

    I have a couple of very basic questions...

    1) Updates. In V5 I could tick a box at the top of the first column to select all available updates and then "Install". Do I have to do one update at a time in V6...? There's no "Select all" checkbox...

    2) I can't seem to log in over OSX terminal as root. I get constant "Permission denied. Please try again" I'm sure I have the password right. Do I have to enable ssh somewhere? I want to change the admin password for the webgui...


    Thanks, as always! :)

    Do I have to do one update at a time in V6...?

    Install always installs all updates. Being able to select individual updates caused more problems than it fixed.

    Do I have to enable ssh somewhere?

    Do you have root disabled in the ssh tab?

    I want to change the admin password for the webgui...

    You can do that in the web interface. Gear in the top right corner -> Change Password.

    No. There's a change from OMV5 to OMV6 on the update managment that when there's any updates, it will install all of them.

    You can select just one by one ONLY to view the changelog.


    2) I can't seem to log in over OSX terminal as root. I get constant "Permission denied. Please try again" I'm sure I have the password right. Do I have to enable ssh somewhere? I want to change the admin password for the webgui...

    Maybe you haven't set the "allow root login..." on the SSH service settings?!?



    And to change the admin password, you can do it on the GUI:

    Click the dented wheel and select "Change Password..."

    I stumbled over the admin password change. Thanks :)


    I can't see an ssh tab. Sorry... Found it!. It was enabled.

  • Ah, yes, root access is enabled.

  • hi,

    i had all my systems under OMV6 (after using OMV5), but too many troubles, and now, because of last samba updates, without abilities to go back, i'm going to reinstall OMV5.6.

    maybe, all updates in one time, with omv6 is better than "one by one selected" process, but because of that, i didnt' want to update my last omv6 which runs correct, without last samba update.

    if i knew better than i know actually debian, i tried to reverse or go back to previous 6.0.30 shaitan without the 40 updates of last sunday.

    so... OMV5, but OMV :)

    You can always use the apttool plugin to "hold" the packages you don't want to update and then you will be able to install all updates from the Updates tab.

    thank you for the solution. actually, i 'm trying to have a omv 6 fully fonctionnal as required. but i have some troubles. because of samba. (not straightly because of OMV, but because of my heterogenous players).

    i take a look on openmediavault-apttool. is it yours ?


    edit: i installed apt tools, i remove just samba. omv6 crashes. ssh ok, not webui. i don't really know how it works :)

    Yes.

    If you remove samba, it will remove OMV (bad) since OMV depends on samba. You just should add the samba package in the Packages tab and click hold from the tools menu.

  • with OMV6, all updates applied, SAMBA updates installed, settings in extra options like this:

    Code
    ntlm auth = yes
    min protocol = NT1
    client min protocol = NT1

    except my pc (win10-64b-pro), my players don't see my server.


    with new fresh install of OMV5, all updates applied, SAMBA updates installed, settings in extra options like this (same as omv6):

    Code
    ntlm auth = yes
    min protocol = NT1
    client min protocol = NT1

    my pc (win10-64b-pro) and my players see my server.


    i already wrote this on similar topics yesterday, but i wanted to be sure, with new fresh install omv6, doesn't work. and omv 5.6, works.

    do i have to create a topic ?

    I don't think this is OMV's fault. Newer versions of samba are going to support those very old smb protocols and auth less and less. The fact that omv5 works better doesn't surprise me. But you definitely don't need that old stuff for Win10.
