    A light at the end of the tunnel?

    I'm not holding my breath, but following a very straightforward message from me pointing out that they'd continued to ignore the issue at hand (choosing instead to quibble my supplied info or to sidetrack to irrelevant issues) and that (un-rectified) the issue could constitute a breach of the Computer Misuse Act (1990), Seagate have finally deigned that my issue is of a severity that warrants passing on to their developers (quite what they did with the log dump and additional they already requested from me remains a mystery) who will now try and work out what's going on and if they think that it might be worth fixing.

    They've also offered to provide me with a 1TB usb drive 'for my efforts' which is a nice gesture but not one that will prevent me continuing to complain if they don't fix the unauthorised network access issue on the personal cloud.

    So two months and a fair bit of battling in I've finally arrived at a basic standard of customer support, hopefully their new positive approach will follow through and deliver the goods.

    Marc,

    I admire your persistence. Naively, I might have thought a cloud appliance would have a mechanism to poll/contact various providers, but once configured ought not to be doing what you have found to be the case. Their GPL code is available here: http://www.seagate.com/gb/en/support...ode-master-dl/

    But it only shows what they have used, not how. It includes what you might expect for embedded linux on an Arm device: uboot, busybox. etc. If only you get to a shell you'd soon now what was running.


    I wonder if you had considered this https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDe.../PersonalCloud The page seems to be up to date.

    Chris, that's amazing, I'd not come across it so many thanks for pointing it out. As I mentioned earlier I'm a huge fan of debian so this delights me massively! (and I'm glad you waited to point it out as I may have given up with seagate, the free drive is nice but I'm more interested now in getting the device fixed as I suspect I'm not the only one clogging up the pipes with unauthorised DNS requests)

    I have the prospect of a quiet weekend at the in-laws coming up so I may well seize the opportunity experiment with putting a proper os on this box.

    Marc,

    Seeing as Seagate have appeared to have made use of debootstrap, and there is now a decent armhf debian port, it could be a successful combo. Good luck with that.

    I'd be interested to know how you get on.

    Question Seagate PSU voltage?

    Quick question for any Seagate users... My unit is out just now being filled with some more music, so I can't check, and just wanted to know what input voltage the power supply is.

    From memory, I think it's 12V and 100 - 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz. Could someone please confirm?

    Marco.

    12v 2amp at the business end Marco. It's a smps so it takes input from somewhere between a candle to infinite improbability (but probably works best between 100 - 240vAC..)

    In related news it turns out 'Customer Service' weren't going to escalate my issue to tech support, all they've done is give me the email for the developers / technical line and instructed me to start again with them. No response yet.

    Once I've worked out how to back-up the Seagate OS I'll be flashing it with Debian and installing Open Media Vault I think, although I'll wait long enough to give them a chance to fix it before doing so (in the hope that the fix will go out to other users). Initial experimentation has shown that I can log on to u-boot console using the 'clunc' app from Lacie (as per the link provided by Chris above).
