TonidoPlug runs Linux; hence technically you can install other software (limited by memory size and process speed). However, we don't offer any kind of technical support if you attempt to do this. When you install other software we recommend you to boot the TonidoPlug from either external USB drive or SATA disk. If you install software on flash and brick the device CodeLathe is not responsible for it.

Procedure

TonidoPlug 1 uses Ubuntu 9.04. Ubuntu has stopped ARM support and has removed their software repository for Ubuntu ARM. This affects TonidoPlug 1 and users of TonidoPlug 1 can no longer update software with the built-in repository. Follow these instructions to switch to a new working repository and update packages when required.

Edit open the file "/etc/apt/sources.list" and replace the contents of the file with the following line:

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted universe multiverse

Create the package cache directory if it is not present.

 root@TonidoPlug:~# mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/archives/partial

Update the APT repository.

root@TonidoPlug:~# apt-get update

Now you can install any package using the "apt-get install" command.
