Incredible! Glad to hear it. I think this new release solved many of our performance issues. So happy we got you sorted out!

Really glad to hear this. I would suggest that anyone reading this thread refer to the solution above for a fix, or just utilize bash as their default shell.

That prior response is no longer the case. We no longer symlink the API in a way that would break zsh but not bash. I'm not sure why the issue still occurs and will need some community support to figure out what process exactly is failing. Here is the updated solution that is confirmed working: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/191889-cannot-update-to-the-latest-version-of-the-plugin/#findComment-1568640

I think that the way you're setting up zsh is likely breaking a lot of boot scripts (not just ours). TL;DR Yes, your line can and will break Unraid plugin installs by hijacking the login shell. Fix it by guarding with -t 1 to only exec Zsh in actual interactive terminals. ✅ Solution: Detect interactive terminal onlyModify the logic in .bash_profile to only launch Zsh if it's an interactive terminal (i.e., not from a script or system process): Replace: echo "if [ -d /mnt/user/appdata/zsh/.oh-my-zsh ]; then if [ -f /bin/zsh ]; then /bin/zsh; exit; fi fi" >> /root/.bash_profile With something safer: echo 'if [[ -t 1 && -f /bin/zsh && -d /mnt/user/appdata/zsh/.oh-my-zsh ]]; then exec /bin/zsh; fi' >> /root/.bash_profile Explanation: [[ -t 1 ]]: Only true if the shell has a terminal attached (i.e. interactive session) exec /bin/zsh: Replaces the shell process only in interactive cases This ensures: Normal user terminals get Zsh Plugin scripts, cron jobs, and Unraid boot/install logic remain unaffected Note: I have NOT tested this logic and using Zsh like this (as default shell) is entirely outside of Unraid supported functionality. You will continue to have issues doing this in the future.

Hi, we want to solve this for you but this is also an unsupported use case. Please provide the following. execution result of ls -al /bin/sh The guide followed to install Zsh on Unraid Thank you, this will help us further understand and fix this use case.

It looks possible that your Connect client isn't installed. Please reinstall the plugin if possible and let me know if you see more options in that menu (flash backup, etc.)

Awesome! I am happy to hear it. Please let us know if you see any repeated behaviors.

@S3ppo any updates on these asks? I just tried this on my server and it's absolutely amazing. Would love to see community support and buildout of this application.

Please send the response from the prior DEBUG statements in the install, that may help us get to the bottom of this.

@luve04 Please update your Connect plugin to the latest version. We've just shipped a release that should fix this issue.

We’ll be shipping an update this week with a resolution.

Please re-test with the latest version of Unraid Connect. We’ve updated the internal USB listing logic and believe this should be resolved.
