    Integrated Memtest works under UEFI boot?

    in General Support

    Posted

    Happy new year to the unraid family 🙂

     

    Has the integrated memtest utility been testing to run on UEFI boots? I have all my systems switch from legacy to UEFI boot, but honestly have never used the integrated memtest.....until now 🙂 

     

    I am was benchtesting a rig for a friend who runs unraid as well, and we ordered some cheapo OLOy china memory from Newegg (that seemingly works GREAT). But for the life of me could not get unraid memtest to run, it just reboots the system. Unraid itself booted fine, gui and non gui mode. Just couldn't get mem test to go. So UEFI booting was working fine, I was able to get to the main Unraid menu during boot, and arrowed down to the Memtest and selected, would just pause then reboot when selected.


    I downloaded the latest free standalone, and that boots UEFI fine, and is what I am currently benching on his rig: https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm

     

    Just curious if anyone tested this. Maybe it's a secure boot option or something 🤷‍♂️

    Support for Edge Chromium? (SOLVED)

    in Feature Requests

    Posted · Edited by cybrnook

    Didn't want to list it as a bug, since I am not sure the stance on it. But also not sure if it's a "feature" per se, but anyways, Edge Chromium is here and released. To be honest, I am really liking it better than Firefox, and honestly better than Chrome itself (maybe cause new shiny toy).

     

    For the most part it seems to be working pretty good. But I am noticing that the Unraid animations don't really seem to be working properly. Transitioning from tab to tab is a slow process, like it's trying to pre-render the page before anything happens, and plugin/docker updates for example just show a blank pop-out window until the moving text is done, and then you see everything on the screen.

     

    I'm honestly not even sure if there is anything Unraid can do about it, and it's a Edge thing, but I can't whine if I never asked 🙂

    Preclear plugin

    Well, personally I preclear every drive I add to my unraid server prior to making it a part of my array 🙂 While "most" drives come up uneventful, I did just two weeks ago shuck and add a handful of 8TB's to my backup unraid server and low and behold preclearing saved me ahead of time on a disk that started to mark and reallocate bad sectors. Easier to identify ahead of time, rather than add a disk, put data on the disk, and then in time realize through smart somethings happening.

     

    For me, I love the integration of this plugin into UD (UD+), and being able to preclear at the click of a button.

    Well the previous versions of PreClear Plugin still did questionable things on 6.8 such as replacing libevents with years older versions, so it probably shouldn't even be listed on 6.8.

    I think libevent was the only thing, rather than a few things, right? I can confirm that libevent is installed by default, but perhaps the included tmux for example can't find the default? Note sure.. @gfjardim ?

    Confirmed.  Will however give @gfjardim time to fix this before any additional action is taken.

    I was just looking at the source, and I think it's due to the "less than": 

    elif is_unraid_version '>=' '6.8.0-b1' && is_unraid_version '<' '6.8.1'; then

    Perhaps there is a dependency on the kernel version in 6.8.1 and what is being brought down for tmux, libevent and utemper. But I think likely the same packages from 6.8.0-b1 would work, will see 🙂

    Just to mention, I had the plug-in installed but didn't actually have the modified kernel through the plug-in downloaded and installed.

     

    I was seeing an error during boot when just the plug-in loaded that was spitting an "nvidia-smi" error into the system log.

     

    Took me a minute to remember I had the plug-in installed, so since removed it.

    Yup, I know that. It worked exactly like you said ripping the blu-ray disc using MakeMKV, then using this docker to compress it. But why does Handbrake on my iMac load the same disc and not here?

    No idea. Handbrake can't unlock and decrypt an encrypted disc, that's not what it does.

     

    Perhaps you have something like AnyDVD installed, or some other unlocking software that you forgot about? which is presenting the disc as unlocked to handbrake? That is completely doable, unlocking the disc via software and then handing off to handbrake as a disc in a drive.

    Did test the same DVD movie on my iMac using a external drive and Handbrake, that loaded there fine there. Is the encryption on this docker stronger or something? I did manage to rip the blu-ray version of this movie using MakeMKV and used this docker to compress it and that worked great.

    What I mean is Handbrake is not a decrypting program. So if you are putting in regular movies like DVD or Blu-Ray, and expecting Handbrake to open and re-encode them, it won't do that. Movies (DVD and Blu-Ray) have encryption on them, so you need something to crack the encryption first, like MakeMKV or AnyDVD for example. You can't go directly from Blu-Ray to .MP4 for example with Handbrake alone. It may be trying to read the disc, but it doesn't understand what it is (because it's encrypted), so it spits back title not found.

    Hi, so testing this docker out on unRaid Version: 6.8.0 and can't seem to get my optical drive going. I was able to get it going with the MakeMKV-RDP docker using the --device=/dev/sg1 code. I do see it in dev, but when I select it trying to open a source (first tried a blu-ray, then a DVD) and kept getting back title not found. Anything I should try? 

    If it's an encrypted Disc (Like a DVD movie or Blu-Ray movie), handbrake can't open it, since handbrake isn't that kind of app. You would first need to decode it using something like MakeMKV or AnyDVD etc...

    @Djoss have you ever considered trying to expose support for Nvidias NVEnc encoder for this container? https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/1.3.0/technical/video-nvenc.html

     

    quick and dirty comparison of QSV vs NVENC timings: 

     

     

    With the Nvidia plugin, and this container, I think converting movies could benefit with the speed/offloading improvement.

     

    Just tested a movie:

     

    My Unraid Server, AMD 3700X with 12 threads pinned to Handbrake container standard H264:

    36 Minutes @ 4.65 GB

    Same movie on my Desktop with 3900X and 2080Ti, using H264 NVENC:

    11 Minutes @ 7.5 GB

    AMD processor overkill

    Hello all!


    I am looking at building a nas and what I keep hearing is if you have a large array and use ZFS (I am told unraid does have this option), you need a beefy processor. My question is, what exactly is considered beefy enough? I was thinking of getting a Ryzen 9 3900X but is that too much power? How can I know?

    For a NAS, in the AMD world I would do either the 3700X or the 3600. Reason for me would simply be because they are both 65 watt TDP CPU's, so easier to keep cool, take less power for 24x7 operations, and still overkill for a NAS.

    Hey stranger 🙂

     

    For the UN/PW settings for opensubtitle.org, any issues handling longer passwords with special characters? I am using my known working UN/PW, but container fails to start stating incorrect UN/PW, though I know it works.

     

    I tried wrapping with "" and '', neither worked from the parameter page. Nothing urgent, just wanted to ask 🙂 - Hope all is well.

    From terminal running date returns the correct date and time. Is there another process to check or location to check date and time? Seems to not be the issue though.

    You can also trying setting 8.8.8.8 as your primary DNS server in Settings -> Network Settings -> IPV4 DNS Server
