OMV7 Extras: Installing "openmediavault-apttool 6.0.1" does NOT seem to install or marked as installed in GUI

Hello everyone, I upgraded yesterday my working OMV6 to latest OMV7 version 7.4.13-1

When trying to solve a boot error (found in journal) related to kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: firmware: failed to load i915/glk_dmc_ver1_04.bin whilst trying the solution here, the user mentions to use apt-file search or dpkg-search -S method (to find the missing BIN file in the repositories) and this prompted me to install OMV Extras : openmediavault-apttool 6.0.1

However after installing this plugin (without errors) I found out that not only it is not marked as installed with the green tag/label as other plugins, but on CLI I am not getting the respective available commands to use. And when returning to the OMV GUI, seeing it was not marked as "installed" I tried to re-install it but getting this error now:

** CONNECTION LOST **

...with a red "500 - Internal Server Error: Failed to read from socket: Connection reset by peer" error on OMV GUI.

a) How can I check this plugin was installed correctly?

I am not finding more info on its page here: https://wiki.omv-extras.org/do…mv6:omv6_plugins:apt_tool

b) Why would it not be labelled/marked as installed with that nice green tag as others?

Would this be some issue with the plugin or the OMV GUI?

Thank you for your help.

UPDATE: On the website for OMV Extras, I am not finding this plugin under the OMV 7.x tree, only OMV 6.x
So if this is not available for OMV 7.x why would it be shown as "installable" on my OMV 7 GUI?

QUESTION: When I click on the "apt clean" button in OMV 7 GUI, in the popup window I see at the end an error for the indexing, can this be related?

/sbin/omv-aptclean: line 118: /usr/sbin/omv-mkaptidx: No such file or directory

END OF LINE

UPDATE: In folder /usr/sbin/ I only see a file called omv-mkaptidx.real but it was not me who changed it... ryecoaaron could it be the OMV upgrade mechanism that renamed it? How can I create this omv-mkaptidx file? From the looks of it, the omv-mkaptidx.real is some kind of Python script...

Thanks Soma mate. For others to not dig further, the post by ryecoaaron is here where he advises to do the following:

sudo wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/raw/master/fix6to7upgrade | sudo bash

After running this on my CLI there was some long output that I cannot post here as it exceeds 10,000 characters... Attached the log instead: output.txt

Now I seem to have the file /usr/sbin/omv-mkaptidx which I executed again on purpose and seems to work.

Visiting the OMV 7 GUI seems to show all plugins being at v7.x and openmediavault-apttool 7.1.1 shows as "Installed" correctly with the green tag/label. Great!

Soma thanks for your help. On a side-now, any idea if this plugin adds apt-file search or dpkg-search -S to my system (as CLI commands)?

Hi Krisbee thanks, my "side" question was related to any CLI commands added, too.

The installation of openmediavault-apttool 7.1.1 adds the actual UI plugin to OMV GUI, yes, but wasn't sure if some extra commands were also added to CLI underneath the surface. It is not the case.

Hi ryecoaaron thanks for your time. As I mentioned in my original post, I was looking to resolve a boot error (found in journal) related to kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: firmware: failed to load i915/glk_dmc_ver1_04.bin whilst trying this solution here, where a user was suggesting to "actually search for the (firmware) package that owns the files. That can be done with apt-file search or dpkg-search and add part of the filename, like "i915" which is mentioned in the logs" which made me assuming that this OMV Extra plugin could/would install these additional commands to CLI. Cheers.
