I tried to restart and the server hung. i had to manually turn off and on again. that doesn't seem like a good sign that it happened twice in a row. My VM is back to working (like when i restarted 2 days ago), but i guess i will monitor it. Is there a way for me to generate logs to maybe troubleshoot this instability happening? Edit: i just tried to start a VM and it's not loading with the right click VM Console (VNC) or try to connect via RDP.

Hi all - I havent rebooted my server in many months (~7-8 months uptime) and have been using my Windows 11 VM like normal since then. I think I ran a quick update on Windows 11 last night to whatever the latest update was (i remember it being called something along the lines of 24H2 or so), and then my VM started getting a bit wonky, crashing and requiring me to force stop the VM and restart. I thought it may originally be because of this certain action i was trying to do (recover an old chrome session with ~800 open tabs), but my VM just crashed again with not much going on (just excel, ~30 or so tabs, itunes running). the VM instability has caused the webUI to be unstable, i.e. it would take 30-60 seconds just for the dashboard to show my VM section and container section. Eventually it got so unstable that unraid was not even loading any containers or VM on dashboard (though containers were still working), so i proceeded to restart Unraid via webUI which caused entire system to hang (i.e. Plex was working but every container / accessing remotely via wireguard stopped working) requiring a friend to go over to my server sitting in another state to manually turn server off and on again. I just recently went to settings -> VM Manager to turn off the VM and then turn it back on and now my VM tab in unraid says "Libvirt Service failed to start." When i click libvirt log, it looks like below: What do i need to do to fix my VM instability issue? Should i proceed with upgrading to 7.0.0 to fix this, or do i need to rebuild my libvirt.img file? If so, does anyone have a precise step by step so i don't destroy anything more by clicking delete image file and doing irreparable harm to my poor VMs (i'm bit of a noob so handholding is advised, last time i clicked around i accidentally applied docker safe new perms to my appdata folder and screwed up almost all my containers...).

does anyone know how to fix the issue with krusader where it takes 30+ minutes for it to actually load the web UI after starting the docker? i always run into this issue when i restart my server or restart the docker container for krusader, the web UI won't load until i give it 30+ minutes then it starts working.

does anyone have the step by step instructions on how to switch the date format to MM/DD/YYYY?

I ended up not doing the fix noted above in config but looks like my qbit container is back to normal being able to delete files

would this make the default behavior for removing torrents also delete the files? what if i want to remove torrents without deleting files

I'm having an issue where qbittorrent won't delete files even though i select "also remove the content files". Anyone know what could be causing this, some sort of permission issue with qbit container not being able to delete files it's creating?

so based on @HalianElf and @gacpac immense help on the discord channel, i was able to get my apps working again after every single container stopped working with the bad parameters error. First - i had run chmod -R 777 /mnt/user/appdata/ command after the docker was stopped, and it didn't do anything (same bad parameter error). HalianElf asked if i am able to make any changes to the docker template, to which it spit out an error "docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: "/init": permission denied: unknown." So we troubleshooted by deleting the docker image so that docker could rebuild again (it's a very large folder in /mnt/user/system/ though i actually just renamed the docker folder as docker.old instead of ticking the delete checkbox inside settings -> docker). I then navigated to the docker tab in main unraid GUI and manually added each container again which populated with all my existing templates (apparently you can go to apps -> previous apps -> docker and select all the apps at once to reinstall instead of having to go one by one). Note - each container re-populated into its respective FolderView (fka Docker Folders plugin) section. The only thing that seems to have not traveled was the auto-start information which i had to re-enable so that certain containers spin-up automatically after launch. For now - it looks like my plex, emby, -arrs, qbit/rtorrent, tautulli are working as far as the eye can tell. I think the "chmod -R 777" may have been an unnecessary step i pre-emptively ran before fixing docker folder itself. I am not too sure if i have done some potential future damage running that 777 permission command over /appdata/, i'm hoping my unraid doesn't break in a future restart/update to latest version. If anyone thinks i have done some damage with this 777 permission setting, I'm all ears for how to fix that part. I supposed i could: Turn off docker Backup my existing working "mnt/user/system/docker" and "mnt/user/appdata" (so i can restore if it something breaks again) Run tools -> new permissions -> on /appdata/ (which will presumably break docker again) Again delete /mnt/user/system/docker/ and re-build the docker containres via existing templates in apps -> previous apps Now my /appdata/ should have the default 99:100 permissions (instead of 777 currently?) and docker hopefully works again Note - this person here also seemed to implement the same fix too on reddit.

I was noticing that my qbittorrent, even when i selected "remove file" was not deleting files on my drive so i ran "New permission" by accident on 10/12/24 instead of "Docker Safe New Perms", and now my entire Unraid docker system is completely broken (i.e. apps not working). I thought i may have a CA backup to restore to but it's unfortunately from 1/10/24 of which i've made massive changes to all my various apps since then which i think will cause issues in terms of a restore and i don't want to go down that restore path of such an old backup. I had thought my CA backup was running on a regular schedule but apparently not I turned off docker in settings and then ran chmod -R 777 /mnt/user/appdata/ but that doesn't seem to fix anything, i still get "bad parameter" with no apps working. does anyone have any advice on how i can restore my apps to their previous working state? I'm most concerned about plex, emby, sonarr, radarr, lidarr, qbittorrent, tautulli in terms of having all my appdata restored from it's most recent operating state before i messed up with "new permissions".

I seriously screwed up and ran new permission on my appdata folder which resulted in all my containers now having "execution error: bad parameter" and not running. My last appdata backup was unfortunately almost a year ago. How do i go about fixing this so i can have my containers work again? EDIT - created a new thread below describing what i did to fix the issue.

I'd also like to know how to change back to light mode. Also - I'm noticing that files aren't being deleted even though i select the checkbox "Also remove the content files".

If I'm passing through a virtual iGPU (Intel gvt-g plugin) would this setting help at all?

Just wanted to follow up that i didn't want to delete the recovery partition for the Windows VM after expanding the disk in the blue box of the VM tab in Unraid, so i used Paragon as well to simply expand and it worked like a charm without deleting the recovery partition (didn't have to restart or anything). https://www.paragon-software.com/us/free/pm-express/#resource

Just to clarify - are you saying that your fix has been incorporated by the Unraid team in future OS updates after 6.12.8 but no current updates (6.12.9 presumably) are out yet so we must use this plugin if we are on latest stable (6.12.8)?

6.12.8 broke my plex and handbrake containers, luckily i was able to quickly reinstall from previous apps section on left side of the Apps main tab

bump - curious on if disabling hyper-v altering performance. i had finally tuned my windows VM for high performance (especially switching to microsoft RDP for access, installing intel-gvt for virtualized iGPU acceleration and following m00nman's perf thread. I did make a bunch of his XML edits which reference hyper-V so i don't want to then toggle the hyper-v in the non-XML edit of the VM which may cause issues with what i setup via @m00nman

Just wanted to follow up here that I've been able to significantly improve VM performance to the point it almost feels like native Windows. The two things that made the biggest differences (outside this threads OP for helping reduce my CPU usage significantly): installing intel GVT-g plugin to enable hardware acceleration for Windows 11 with my Intel 10th Gen iGPU (which was previously allocating the QuickSync feature to Plex via the extra parameter + Intel GPU TOP plugin) Switching from using NoVNC (native right click within browser) or Anydesk to the Microsoft RDC native application. the performance difference between Microsoft RDC client and Anydesk was pretty significant, and i had been using Anydesk for now 4-5 years under the assumption it was one of the smoother remote clients out there. Youtube videos now play perfectly, there's little perceptible lag and while full screen, the VM runs fantastic (with added benefit that it's offloading lot of work to GPU so my CPU temps stay around 50-60 now).

How does Tailscale compare to Parsec? The main thing i didn't like about Parsec was no iOS app to be able to access from my iPad. Is there a way to change the default VNC viewer that appears upon right clicking a VM on the dashboard (since presumably noVNC now doesnt work after disabling Screen 1 in display properties?)

I just tried the native RDP client and its much speedier / snappier than anydesk, which is awesome! The only issue remaining is i don't know how to connect remotely with RDP when im not on the local LAN (i can't install a VPN on devices like my work PC which accesses the VM), so i will have to use the slower Anydesk for that

I'm using anydesk (with direct3d HW acceleration selected in Display settings) and followed the steps to disable screen 1 too As a side note - i know have a weird issue where i can't disable the remote mouse cursor in anydesk anymore so i have the annoying mouse trailing constantly. Might be an anydesk bug, but i didn't have that when i wasn't using gvt-g plugin

so i installed it and it properly shows in task manager but the improvement isnt terribly better than without it. are there any tuning settings to improve the video performance? it still lags while playing web videos for example

great - i will try that. Is it necessary to do step 15 and 16 to disable display 1 ("Show only on 2")? What would happen if you don't do that, would that let you still access the machine via noVNC? Also in noticed in the intel gvt-g plugin page, it gives me the below two options. Is there a way to run 2560x1440p resolution like i was without iGPU HW accel? i915-GVTg_V5_4: VMEM: <128MB, 512MB>, up to 1920x1200 i915-GVTg_V5_8: VMEM: <64MB, 384MB>, up to 1024x768
