Hi!

I'd like to install the smartmontools on my B3, but failed.

root@b3:/home/gerti# apt-get install smartmontools
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package smartmontools

I just set up the device a few days ago with installation of latest package b3-install-2.4.1.1 and manual update to 2.6.0.x by

Code: Select all

change_distribution elvin
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

How can I install the smartmontools to check the status of the installed harddisk?

Best,
Gerti

You also need to add debian sources to get access to other than standard bubba packages. Do:

Code: Select all

change_distribution -u elvin
apt-get update

..and try again. (The -u for upstream makes all the difference).
