Just updated 10 minutes ago, reboot and hangs on Starting Array, that's all she wrote, anyway to back out?

Sure would be pretty cool to have a plugin for the CAM controls for lights in the NZXT water coolers and the HUE+ lights. Now it can only be controlled through Windows. Just a thought. ~ kristisdad

All fine except I can't get to the apps tab, I'm getting this error: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message '[Array2XML] Illegal character in tag name. tag: @attributes in node: Config' in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/community.applications/include/xmlHelpers.php:100 Stack trace: #0 /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/community.applications/include/xmlHelpers.php(107): Array2XML::convert('Config', Array) #1 /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/community.applications/include/xmlHelpers.php(56): Array2XML::convert('Container', Array) #2 /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/community.applications/include/helpers.php(312): Array2XML::createXML('Container', Array) #3 /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/community.applications/include/exec.php(287): makeXML(Array) #4 /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/community.applications/include/exec.php(1048): DownloadApplicationFeed() #5 /usr/local/src/wrap_post.php(17): include('/usr/local/emht...') #6 {main} thrown in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/community.applications/include/xmlHelpers.php on line 100 Any ideas? Yeah, try updating every once in awhile!

Got me, I guess the three minute rule. Shut it down, walk away, take a break, power up and voila, all fine in Unraid world.

I updated to 6.1.9 about an hour ago, the apps (I don't see an appstore) tab shows all my previous dockers as "DOCKER NOT ENABLED". I don't see any comparable apps the replace the ones that are not enabled. How do I enable my Dockers?, Dockers in setting show enabled. I wish there was a restore. ~kristisdad

Best all around I've found is the HD6450. Most unfriendly I've found is the Radeon R7 240, Mid Range I like the GT720 has some quirks (sound HDMI). Now I strickly use the 6450's.

I use Kodi at home and Plex outside my network. I tried emby, but don't like the "bloat" to my files. I got rid of it. Kodi is great in my Sony Android TV and my favorite feature is being able to tell it to create playlists say episodes 5 through 10 in Season 5 and not have to touch the remote for hours/days, just let it play away. Then I have the other toys setup on various tvs, a raspberry pi, minix, AT2, Roku3, I don't know if I could settle with one, always updating, trying this or that, something new all the time. My favorite toys, I just love this modern tech.

These are my xml files, basically I did nothing other than the basic setup. (I changed the xml to txt files so it would upload.) Win10.txt OpenELEC.txt LinuxMint.txt

I'm sorry for the delay, I'll post them this evening after I get home from work. I have noticed a common problem in my testing of many cards and in the posts that I've read, maybe this is just curious to VM's. Whenever I have changed cards, (I started running 3 systems two live 6.1.6 and one on a test bench), either amd 5450 to amd R7 240? (from memory) to amd6450 to nvidia, or say nividia 610 to nvidia720/nividia 730, I notice problems with audio and/or video as if the Windows VM or Linux VM won't release the old drivers in the image or update to the current drivers, but a "clean/fresh" install will insert the proper drivers and do OK as long as you stick with them, however, once you decide to change them out for a different card (or you try to switch them between VM's and/or switch them back you may be out of luck when it comes to resolution, and often you will get the red line through the audio speaker in windows that says "no playback device" attached. I don't have the perfect pair yet, but I keep trying. I'm hoping 6.2 will address some of this driver stuff.

Wow, I find that really strange. I'm running the same pair and after many pairs thought I found the best match I could, Nividia GT730 with my Windows 10 using seabios and q35, it took awhile for the drivers to catch up but, on re-boot, not a hiccup. I use my AMD 6450 card for Linux Mint and OpenELEC, same with seabios and q35. Had to turn on ACS, but that's OK. As with just about everyone else, the only problem I have is with a forced shut-down, I have to re-start the whole system. Linux Mint doesn't seem to play well with the Nvidia GT730, so I keep them setup as above. Was fresh install for all VM's.

GPU questions? I've tried the GT610 route...freezes up on reboot, tried the GT720 route...no sound with usb. Which cards are proving themselves...I'm looking at GT750Ti (kinda pricey, but..), GT730, at this point I just hate throwing more cash at a nvidia card. Other choices in the amd might be 5450 or 6450. Are the amd cards proving more reliable for Openelec, I don't see much otherwise. Any input appreciated ~ Dave

My uBuntu vm says I'm out of space. I allocated 10G and believe it said I could allocate more later if needed...it's needed! I can't find where to allocate more space. I'd tried editing the vm in advanced mode, but I don't see it. Maybe a sign of old age! ~ Dave

That did the trick, that's one I'd have never figured out. Thanks, Dave

I copied the plg file hit install was greeted with: plugin: installing: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Squidly271/community.applications/master/plugins/community.applications.plg plugin: downloading https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Squidly271/community.applications/master/plugins/community.applications.plg plugin: downloading: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Squidly271/community.applications/master/plugins/community.applications.plg ... done Warning: simplexml_load_file(): /tmp/plugins/community.applications.plg:1: parser error : Document is empty in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.plugin.manager/scripts/plugin on line 193 Warning: simplexml_load_file(): in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.plugin.manager/scripts/plugin on line 193 Warning: simplexml_load_file(): ^ in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.plugin.manager/scripts/plugin on line 193 Warning: simplexml_load_file(): /tmp/plugins/community.applications.plg:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.plugin.manager/scripts/plugin on line 193 Warning: simplexml_load_file(): in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.plugin.manager/scripts/plugin on line 193 Warning: simplexml_load_file(): ^ in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.plugin.manager/scripts/plugin on line 193 plugin: xml parse error" and then there's no trace any where, what am I doing wrong?

I updated my 5.0.5 box to 6.1.3 after setting up my new rig. I thought this would be apiece of cake! Left the file systems alone because I figured it would be a good backup, keeping my old files. Upgrade went perfect, turned it on, set my drives in place, and it was off to the races. It's on a ASRock z87 exteme4 mobo which has HVM-Enabled, IOMMU-Disabled (can't find anything in bios to turn on) and Bios shows Vt-d-Not Supported. Can I run Dockers? I've got it setup, tried to add templates by adding the links, however, no templates show when I select "Select A Template". I see my Dockers.img in the root of my cache. Even though I can't pass through my USB stuff, I figured I should be able to run the dockers or am I SOL. I tried running uBuntu as a VM, seemed to work although the resolution is so small I can't read it in my old age, tried switching once running but the new resolution won't save correctly. I don't know. Thanks, Dave

What version of uBuntu work the best? I'm getting really frustrated, looks like the AMD distros are strictly AMD, and I should use the i386 option even on a 64 bit intel machine. What should the setting be in the VM manager using a video passthrough? I just can't seem to get up and running...any good videos? Thanks, Dave

You guys are awesome! Worked like a champ, I learn more from this board to keep my rig running like a champ!

I'm gun-shy on the ASRock Z97 Extreme4. Replaced it - See my post: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=43689.0

I was hoping that was an option. The only option was to delete the VM, disks were not included, so I just went to my appdata folder and started deleting and that why I'm in this situation now. Is midnight commander included in this or do I have to download it from someplace? ~ Dave (I'm at work now, so I'll try this evening and see how it goes...

Yes, I can do either. Just don't know any commands

I been trying & trying to delete OpenELEC, which now I've totally destroyed, from my appdata file but it keeps telling me I need permission. Been trying through Win10. I finally changed the name of the file but still want to delete it. How do I go about it? As always, any help appreciated ~ Dave

I've got Windows10 and Kodi up and running OK, but when it comes to Ubuntu or Manjaro, they seem to run OK from the iso on VNC albeit slow and incomplete, but when I install to disk they start and then stall. What's the secret to loading these? I just go from the template...maybe need to adjust the xml ? If i sign into ubuntu as guest, all is fine except i can't save anything, if i switch to my account and i put in my password, it changes screens and dies, mouse moves, nothing else??

My ASRock board needs to be replaced because of power problems I'm having inherent to this board (see: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/2jrt1b/psarequest_possible_reoccurring_problem_with_the/). I will probably RMA it, but really don't trust it anymore. I am considering using a "Supermicro MBD-C7Z87-O LGA 1150 Intel Z87 DDR3 1600 ATX Motherboard" so I can use my (2) GT720 GPUs and my M1015 sas board and my 4 port usb card. I don't really want to invest in new memory or a new processor. I think this should work, any comments? Will I be able to run dockers and VM's?

Thanks saarg, maybe you missed my point. Do I create the file in text editor or text wrangler and paste it into the config file? I understand what you're saying, I just don't understand the mechanics ~ Dave Let's see if I've got it. I create a file in notepad++ using that info, name it sound.conf and save it or paste it into the .config/modprobe.d/. Is this how the file is created and entered?

I have 2 GT720 cards, 1 for windows VM (working great, needs no adjustment) and the other for OE Vm. I want to use HDMI, however, at current Kodi (OE) has problems with this and I need to create a file in config folder of OE. .config/modprobe.d/sound.conf with the code line options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 in order to get the HDMI to work without popping noises. Being the total novice that I am, how in the heck do I accomplish this? All my research just says to do it, but I don't have the foggiest idea how to. I'm currently using a VGA cable combined with external speakers, but I shouldn't have to do this. Any help sure would be appreciated ~ Dave
