A QNAP package is available here.
It has not been package by me (I don't own a QNAP NAS), but according to the feedback on the linked forum, it seems to work.
As to how you install a QNAP package, I have no idea, but I suppose this is documented somewhere in the NAS manual.
I'm glad you like the name. I tried to find something unique (easy to find using a search engine), but I always wondered if "Ubooquity" was not to weird to pronounce for a native speaker.

"post forwarding" was just me trying to write "port forwarding" on a mobile phone and failing.
Each device has to point to the other one in the right order. Let's says you have this setup (that's what I have myself):

PC (Ubooquity) <= Router <= ADSL Modem

Then if Ubooquity is running on 192.0.0.1:2202, your router will have to forward port 2202 to 192.0.0.1:2202, and (assuming your router IP address is 10.0.0.1), your ADSL modem will have to forward port 2202 to 10.0.0.1:2202.
(I kept the same port to keep things simple, but you can map port differently if need be)

I have no experience with NO-IP but I guess you just have to point your NO-IP alias to the port 2202 of your public IP.

I guess that if you already use Plex over the Internet, you already know all that. But I don't really know what other advice to give as Ubooquity is similar to any other server application in that matter.
If you use an ADSL modem to connect to the Internet, you probably have to configure port forwarding there too (I had to to).
Just in case it might help other people: Bo has solved the problem by switching from Raspbmc to Raspbian.
Since the next version is still weeks away, here is a patched one which solves this specific problem:

Interesting, although I still don't understand why the working directory is "/root/".
Do you have other files created by Ubooquity in the "/root/" folder (like "cache", "logs", "preferences.xml"...)?

In any case this problem will be solved by this feature: http://ubooquity.userecho.com/topic/794934-when-using-duserdir-switch-a-few-oddities/.


If it appears in theme selectors, it means the new folder exists somewhere on your system.
The somewhere is supposed to be the directory from which you launched Ubooquity, but I assume you have already checked there.

Perhaps you could try to do a "find" on your whole system to locate the newly created directory ? (it has the name you gave to the new theme).

I still have no clue as to why this happens (perhaps some symlink or Linux user right combination I have not anticipated), but knowing where the new dir is created would help.


Fair enough, I'll try to implement a proper user dir switch. :)
