  1. I managed to wake the server with enough WebUI control to run diagnostics, I hope that helps someone. I've contacted LimeTech about replacing the pendrive. mediaserver-diagnostics-20200806-1541.zip
  2. I am using a USB 2 port as the Mobo doesn't have USB 3. I have also tried re-writing the pendrive backup to new drive in case there was corruption with the first write but still no joy.
  3. Hi, I've spent about 2 1/2 months setting up my first Unraid server and got everything working just right. So I decided to upgrade the pendrive I was using from a unbranded 4GB drive to a SanDisk Ultra Flair 8GB drive. I followed the video from Spaceinvaders One (great stuff mate) and everything started up fine so I requested a new key from LimeTech. If wasn't until after I put the server to Sleep (S3) (using SSH command sent from my HTPC) and woke it up the next day I found there was a problem. I could not access the server shares over my network and when I signed into the WebUI I got the default header part and nothing else (see attached screenshot), none to the tabs show any info in the main area and the skin isn't the one I was using. After powering the server down and restarting everything came up fine so I put it to sleep and woke it up using scripts from my Windows PC and the same thing happened again. I never had any issues with putting it to sleep when using the old pendrive. Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a way to fix it? If I have to replace the drive again can someone recommend one they know works fine with S3 Sleep? Additional: after more testing I've found I sometimes can access the shares over the network but the WebUI always reverts to the default skin and displays no info. If I put it to sleep again and wake it I cannot see the server on my network or access the WebUI. The only way to get things back to normal is a full power-down/startup which I don't want to have to do when the server isn't being used.
  4. Hi. I'm very new to unRaid (~2 weeks setting up) and a novice in Linux. I've got everything mostly how I want it but I cannot figure out how to send a sleep command to unRaid from my Linux HTPC. I can put it to sleep from a my Windows PC using PLink -pw "<password>" <user>@<unRaidIP> "echo -n mem>/sys/power/state" (worked that out from reading forum posts here) but cannot find how to do it from Linux. I've tried ssh <user>@<unRaidIP> "echo -n mem>/sys/power/state" but that didn't do anything, it also asked for a password. I'm wanting to set up my HTPC to wake the unRaid server when it starts up and put it to sleep when it shuts down so I need a solution that can be run in a script. Can anyone help please? [Solution] Apparently the user has to have sudoers permission to shutdown the server for the above SSH command to work. As for getting around the password prompt you can use SSHPASS command (sudo apt-get install sshpass) to feed the password as text or from a file. sshpass -p "<Password>" ssh <user>@<unRaidIP> "echo -n mem>/sys/power/state" or sshpass -f <path/filename> ssh <user>@<unRaidIP> "echo -n mem>/sys/power/state" I hope this info helps others here.
