Debian on Qnap TS-109

[[ftp83plus]]

Hello all, 

I am a bit new to Debian, and when I laid my hands on an older Qnap TS-109, I decided to install it to overcome Qnap's firmware limitations. I followed the guide put up by Martin Michlmayr, but currently face three issues:

1. I can't log in through SSH using root user. It denies me access even when I use the password set during setup. I can log in using the standard user, and perform "su" to get to root. How come root can't log in directly?
2. More annoyingly, it beeps every two minutes for unknown reasons. 
3. The "status" LED is flashing red. LAN LED is off, although the NAS does receive a valid IP address on the LAN.

I shut down the NAS, disconnected network cable, then turned it back on using the button, and connected the network cable. 

What can be happening?

There is a setting by default in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

PermitRootLogin prohibit-password

That means root user can only login with a key, not with a password.
Other users can login either way.

If you want the old behaviour that used to be the default, you would
have to change the setting to yes.

check your /etc/ssh/sshd_config. It has something like

PermitRootLogin without-password

which should explain the failure nicely.

something in dmesg?

Look into /sys/class/leds, there is a directory for each led which
contains a file trigger which defines how the led behave.

Which kernel version are you using?

It is good practice not to login into a device as root, instead
ssh'ing as a lame user and then su'ing as needed. With that said, you
should be able to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and look for the line that
says something about root login and then turn that on.

As root, check /var/log/syslog

Thanks for this hint, what about this annoying beep? I could always desolder the buzzer, but that's not a "clean" solution.

tail /var/log/syslog reports

Sep 13 14:08:49 NASAD13D6 qcontrol[226]: ts209: fan error

So I killed qcontrol, which stopped the beep, but not the logging of the error. Is there a clean fix for this bug?

Kernel is:

Linux NASAD13D6 3.16.0-4-orion5x #1 Debian 3.16.36-1+deb8u1 (2016-09-03) armv5tel GNU/Linux

New: I wanted to instal openmediavault on this TS-109 II (not TS-109, sorry for the mistake), but I get error:

"Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages"

At the same time

dpkg --get-selections | grep hold

returns nothing.

Ideas?

Well, I would try to find out why it is reporting an issue with
the fan. Can it find (detect) the fan? How does it do that? Where I am
getting is that maybe the fan is indeed boink, or the OS is not
detecting the fan.

I have in a Centos box a program to control the different -- cpu, case
-- fans, turning them faster or slower depending on the need. Because
of my motherboard not being the most common I had to edit the fan
config file a bit so program would find it and probe the cpu and
motherboard and then adjust fan speed accordingly.

I think there probably were other messageswhen you trying to
install that package. Can you post them here?

From what I could find on Google, the problem comes from the fact the Debian installer can't tell the TS-109 from the TS 209 from one another. The TS-109 series don't have any fan, while the TS-209 does.

Sure:
openmediavault : Dépend: php5-pam mais ne sera pas installé
Dépend: proftpd-mod-vroot mais ne sera pas installé
Dépend: php5-proctitle mais ne sera pas installé
E: Impossible de corriger les problèmes, des paquets défectueux sont en mode « garder en l'état ».

Roughly translated to: needs packages php5-pam, etc, but they can't be installed.

Qnap TS-109 has no fan. Period.

And I am sure that I read about this before on this list.

This is correct. Fow now, you have to edit the qcontrol config file
to avoid this issue.

Here's the relevant bug report:

In that case, wouldn't it be easier if the script asked wether it's a 109 or 209 during setup? That would avoid this annoying bug.

What about OMV and packages reported as broken? Should I open a new thread for this different problem?
