Verified that the Keyboard and mouse work, I think I was just too slow hitting the keys Attempt 12 got into BIOS Looks Like the BIOS did actually update, at least it says BIOS Version A07 Still won't boot to UNRAID drive

Attempt 11 Connected new 4TB HDD Removed SSD Connected 2Tb and 500GB HDD Installed 2nd stick of RAM into DIMM 2 slot I was able to boot into Windows 10 either installed from a USB Windows Media drive or it was legacy on one of the HDD's Currently unable to boot into UnRaid Cannot get into BIOS, loads straight to Windows, even with Media Drive removed

System Dell Inspiron 580s (circa 2010) Dell Inspiron 580/580S BIOS, A06 Release date 06/2010 Following drives installed: 240 GB SSD - formerly the Windows drive for this PC, planning to use for cache, still has a (broken?) version of Windows 10 pro running on it 2TB shucked Seagate HDD - May be bad, not sure yet 500GB HDD- was good, no idea what’s on it Other Important Information 12 GB RAM (2) 4 GB sticks (2) 2 GB sticks-I think either 1 stick is bad or there is a bad RAM Slot Dell MOBO has an amber 5VSB LED1 light lit I have another 4TB HDD on the way, which when installed will be the Parity drive Using a 32GB Sandisk USB as the UnRaid boot drive created with unraid USB creator Desired Use I plan on setting this up to run Shinobi as a replacement security camera NVR to use with my existing POE and Wifi Cameras, and possibly a doorbell camera in the future. Attempt 1 Powered on, all drives connected, booted into BIOS, PC shutdown Attempt 2 & 3 Same as 1, but was able to get to boot drive section before power down Attempt 4 Removed all but 1 stick of RAM in the DIMM 1 slot Booted into BIOS, Sandisk USB not visible Attempt 5 Disconnected all drives except UnRaid USB Booted into BIOS Sandisk USB visible Changed hard disk and Boot order to USB Sandisk Saved and exited Attempt to boot to UnRaid USB with UEFI boot allowed-not a bootable disk Attempt 6 Reformat 32GB Sandisk USB as the UnRaid boot drive created with UnRaid USB creator, with UEFI not allowed Disconnected all drives except UnRaid USB Attempt to boot to UnRaid USB-not a bootable disk Attempt 7 Reconnect 240 GB SSD PC boots to Windows, attempts to repair I power down the PC before it’s complete Attempt 8 Reinstall All RAM Won’t boot. Just goes to black screen with flashing cursor Attempt 9 Back to 1 RAM stick in the DIMM 1 slot Remove 240 GB SSD Copy updated BIOS (A07 12/2010) to new thumb drive-try to boot to this (I now know that’s not how you update BIOS, but thought that might work) Unable to boot Attempt 10 Reconnect 240 GB SSD Insert Windows 10 Install USB Boot to Windows install Attempt repair of Windows, that’s where I left it last night. Woke up this morning to an error message similar to this one (but not the exact same) Next steps: Attempt to load a clean install of Windows 10 onto the SSD Load the updated BIOS Attempt to boot into the Unraid OS USB again T/S RAM issue, probably by swapping out sticks of RAM until I find the bad one, or inspect the RAM slots and see if I can find a bad one. Replace PSU, but I don’t want to go down that road until I know I can actually run UnRaid on this box Any help or guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I started my last UnRaid build on an Old Dell tower, and that one went way better than this.

How did you update the bios? I have an old (2010) Dell Inspiron 580s that I am trying to load unraid onto. I am not sure how to update the bios, without being able to load some form of OS first. And right now I can't get that far.

I am so dumb, I looked and looked for it and couldn't find it. And 5 seconds after posting those screen shots, there it is, under the main tab. Thank you

I do not

I recently transferred my unraid to a new case and motherboard. In the process I added a new 14 TB disk, the same size as my parity drive. I transferred everything to the new case, booted up unraid with the original 5 disk array (4 data plus 1 parity) with the new disk as an unassigned device. After I had the original set up working, I ran preclear on the new disk. Then, following instructions Adding Disks I stopped the array, added the disk to the array, and started the array again. The disk showed as unmountable with the error "Unmountable: Unsupported partition layout" with no option to format. I figured something went wrong with the preclear, so i stopped the array, removed the disk (which showed a red x next to it and said "missing") started the array and ran preclear again. I then followed the instructions again, stopping the array adding the disk and starting again. This time the array started a parity check, as if I had replaced a damaged disk. I decided to let the process run and finish the parity check. Now I am here, back to an installed disk that is unmountable, with no option to format. How do I proceed from here? The disk added was WDC_WD140EDFZ-11A0VA0_QBKUU99T-20210325-1711 disk5 (sdh) syslog 03-25-2021.txt plexunraid-diagnostics-20210325-1711.zip

Solved it, CNAME in DNS wasn't configured correctly

So I got openvpn working again, but I still can't get the certificate to issue I get the following error Domain: bitwarden.XXXXX.xyz Type: dns Detail: DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up A for bitwarden.XXXXX.xyz - check that a DNS record exists for this I have Gandi liveDNS set to redirect from bitwarden.XXXXX.xyz to XXXXX.duckdns.org using CNAME NAME TYPE TTL VALUE bitwarden CNAME 10800 XXXXX.duckdns.org

Ok, now openvpn isn't working either Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

Need Help Setting up swag for the first time . I have my own domain, and I have the DNS through my provider point the subdomains bitwarden.XXXX.xyz and nextcloud.XXXX.xyz at mydomain.duckdns.org. I currently have openvpn running, and when i go to my server address with openvpn enabled, it gets through to the server, so I'm pretty sure that the duckdns part is working. Not sure what I'm doing wrong TS1 Log.txt

Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it.

That's one of the one's I followed, I made those changes. Not sure why they didn't stick. I'll have to try again.

Thanks, I will look into that tonight. Would that be a folder I have to create?

I think your right. I was trying to setup Hardware transcoding, but since I barely know what I'm doing and just following internet tutorials, I screwed something up. It's up and running for now. Thanks for the help

Solved. Removed the dev/dri path and it works now

Solved. Removed the dev/dri path and it all works now.

Ok, did it this time with right docker name, get the following: Error response from daemon: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/dri": no such file or directory Error: failed to start containers: Plex-Media-Server

Per FAQ I ran the docker start cops command and came back with the error Error: failed to start containers: cops which doesn't help very much

While trying to solve an error in this post I made an edit to the Plex docker settings. I stopped the docker applications, stopped the array, rebooted the array, and started the containers again. When I went to start I got a server error. Removed the docker application, including the image, and re-installed the application with the same settings. same error. Not sure where to go from here.

I removed the docker and reinstalled it. Same error

So, I edited to /tmp. stopped the application, rebooted the array, and now plex has a server error. Now, how do I fix this?

Based on this tuorial I set it to point to /tmp. We'll see if that works

I can see that Host Path 2 (Container Path: /transcode) points to /mnt . Where is it supposed to point?

Thanks, I'll look into it
