  1. its ubuntu follow xbmc instructions to setup mysql for xbmc if you like, that is if that's what your looking for http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Share_libraries_using_MySQL/Setting_up_MySQL
  2. Thank you, I gave it shot but for some reason it hangs. realmode.c:116:d11 Failed to emulate insn. realmode.c:166:d11 Real-mode emulation failed @ 0000:000069b9: 0f 00 f3 69 00 00 got it, you have to install grub on the disk, so load up the iso, install grub and done. quick question do i need ioemu for physical disk?
  3. Is it possible to make the vm into an HVM, by just adding builder='HVM' ?
  4. 50-unmenu-user_scripts.cgi has no executable permission, should I make it executable? Ok. Making it executable fixed it. Thank you.
  5. Hi, I have upgrade to 1.6 using the command line unmenu_install -u for some reason though now my user script page does not display. This is what I get.
  6. the solution i have devise is a little complex, but my gf doesn't have to do anything. phone now syncs at 1 am with her playlist and my phone sync up with my playlists. Works well for now.. just saying making it easier for everyone else who might not be as skilled. I don't mind iTunes I just hate the stuff it does to my nice metadata and how slow it performs when my library is on the network. Oh there is no unlimited data packages in Canada other than wind.
  7. I hate iTunes with a passion... and now that my gf has said goodbye to her iphone and embrace the android world I never want to see iTunes again. That being said I have made great strides to make this possible, but it hasn't been easy. iTunes is a good concept for music library management, but suffers from bad execution and leaving it behind presents a couple issues. 1. How do I manage and keep my library clean and tagged, and in a format I enjoy? This was the easy part, thanks to my great luck of stumbling upon this little great application called beets. The setup was a little more complicated then just installing a plugin, but not impossible. I mainly used the instruction found in the getting started guide and the ones in this post. I even have beets using "acoustic fingerprinting to identify audio files with missing or incorrect metadata", which is awesome. If you have any question let me know and I will try and help as best I can. 2. How do we view and play our library on our mobile devices? I have yet to decide which path to take and hence why I'm on this forum, but I do have some initial ideas. I was thinking that perhaps I use some sort of web-based media streamer such as subsonic or jinzora or an alternative if anyone has suggestions. 3. How do I sync my music to my mobile devices? Now since most of us are already using unraid, it is safe to assume we all have fairly large libraries which makes it very impractical for syncing and we can not just copy over our whole library to our devices. iTunes addresses this issue by two way syncing playlists, now this is the method my gf and I are most comfortable with and would somehow like to continue. Now I've been thinking the best method to achieve this is by using something like rsync, since android is a linux based os. With a command like rsync -avu --delete --files-from=yourlist.m3u "/mnt/Music" "/media/ANDROID/MUSIC" And with the use of Tasker I could setup the android device to sync up while asleep. Now for the most part this solution would work, but I would like to take it a step further and somehow embed the possibility of initiating a sync directly from subsonic or a similar web based media server. I think I will initiate a request with the subsonic development team for now and see how far we can make with this idea.
  8. Just to let everyone know, I have worked on the plg and I just haven't been able to finished since kernel.org is down.
  9. How do you export a share as read only like in 4.7?
  10. I run virtualbox on unraid, and I am very happy with the result. Since there is no swap partition and the unraid kernel is not built to use a swap partition I would recommend having ample ram. I run two vms right now without issue on my unraid. All my vmdk files are on a partition that sit outside the protected array. Furthermore, I looked into the whole esxi situation and you need very specific hardware which makes the results with esxi very unpredictable.
  11. Sounds fair I just don't like doubling efforts, I will give it a shot. Let you know how it's going along.
  12. I can help create the plg if you want, I find it kind of neat and sort of a weekend project... Any clue as to if nzbget supports categories??
  13. b11 seems to work fine with me, I am using pretty standard hardware such the SLAPS MV8 cards, and so far everything seems fine. All my disk spindown. On another note I wrote SABnzbd-0.6.8 plg, if anyone want to overlook it that would be greatly appreciated. First script ever written, I am use to vb .net so google came in very handy. Anyhow plg script is here: http://pastebin.com/zvPTb8QE I tested and it seems to work for the most part. I say for the most part, because you never know. I use the slimserver as the base.
  14. esxi seem like a good suggestion, but seems to me unraid is still some ways away from official support. I mostly run the virtual systems for testing os and doing study labs for certification programs. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=10669.0 That is neat to know that linux is design to use all the ram possible, I was not aware. Plus I think esxi is not an option for me as my motherboard does not support iommu. (880G) Thanks for the heads, I'll pick up 16gb of ram since it's under 100$ and report back.
  15. How much free memory is required for unraid to be able to share files? I have an unraid system with 4gb of ram. Right now I have sab, sick, and couch and other packages that are part of unmenu and it seems I only have 800 mb free after boot. Is 800 mb seem normal, I am thinking maybe I should upgrade to 16 so that I can run some vms... If the system drops to 200mbs free it seems it can not share files efficiently enough, their is lots of buffering and dropped frames from xbmc. Any input???
  16. Your doing a 5.10 install, you might want to update the packages it points to... would also help if you could give us some error codes.. I used the script in May and it seemed to work... here is mine with the one modification. http://pastebin.com/hicef3nR and my go script http://pastebin.com/MGiqg16T
  17. I don't believe so, since sleep is run before line 1451 which is echo $clearscreen$goto_top${bold}Pre-Clear unRAID Disk $theDisk$norm So the exit code being stored in $smartstat should be that of smartctl. If this is not the case please forgive my statement. On another note, I noticed that when I did run pre-clear that all the reports look valid so its only this line that causes issues for people and gives them a confusing error that could possibly not be an error, like in my particular case. Uploaded with ImageShack.us PS: Here is the pre-clear report from this disk using v11, before I though off inserting the 5 second delay: http://pastebin.com/JJBE52gp Pre-clear issued the error at the start of preclear "smartctl may not be able to run on...." so on, yet as you can see the rpt clearly shows the smartctl was able to run. Thanks again Joe L. for putting up with my pestering. I love your script though, and like to contribute whenever possible.
  18. I've no idea... Best I can offer is to suggest you invoke it as sh -xv preclear_disk.sh /dev/sdX and see what it is doing. I certainly cannot fix your exit status if your smart command is exiting abnormally. Joe L. Thanks Joe L. Just thought I asked since it only occurs within the script, not from the command line or from within my test script which is practically identical to the offending lines in the pre-clear script. Anyhow I'll do some more test and run the command as you suggested. Edit: Did more tests, I added a 5 second sleep at line 1450 and that seem to resolve the issue.
  19. When you run the command, are you checking its exit status? the preclear script is, and your smartctl is exiting with a non-zero exit status. Try the 1.12 version of the preclear_disk.sh script attached to this post: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4068.msg128289#msg128289 It is version 1.12... I had originally posted it there to allow those with 3TB drives to give it a try, but it also should fix your issue too. (as long as your disk will report with just smartctl -a /dev/sdX ) I would really appreciate some help because I am still receiving the error with version 12. Now the disk that is being tested is connected to SASLP card. Yet I receive a normal output when I run the command smartctl -a /dev/sdb. Furthermore I wrote a small bash script that looks like follows: http://pastebin.com/42nSRWXZ And it exits with a code of 0. Yet when I modified the your preclear script and inserted an echo line between lines 1456 and 1457 that said "echo $smartstat" I got an exit code 4. Can you please advise me as to what exactly is occurring and how I may resolve the issue.
  20. Thank you for the awesome script, I pointed the multicore par2 to your mirror and everything seems to have installed fine on 4.7 final. My setup is 22 disk, with 1 - 2.5 inch disk as a system disk and 1 - 2.5 disk as cache disk. Everything was installed on my system disk, and seems to be running fine. I will test further later on in the week and report back. The rest of the 20 disk will be used in a unraid disk array.
