  1. RDP is a proprietary microsoft protocol. You can find applications that utilize it.. but if you want to create your own you have to license it from Microsoft. AFAIK no-one has done so. Maybe you should simply try reducing the resolution and see if that helps. In the RDP window, click "show settings" - Screen and adjust the resolution from there. See if that performs better.
  2. Sweet mother mary. This OS is freakin' awesome! UI responsive, everything does what it's supposed to do INSTANTLY. It automatically created a bond for my NIC's.. I am, I think, in actual love. Somehow it's also giving me better and more viable information on the state of my drives than both Xpenology and FreeNAS offered. I'm pretty much sold already. It seems some of my disks are showing pre-fail status or old-age status.. which is probably accurate, most are three years old. Any way I can use UNRAID to stress-test these drives before the 10TB arrives some time next week? Any helpful start-up suggestions? I'm planning 1x10TB for parity, with plans on adding a second 10TB parity disk as soon as I get funds for it - and then replacing each 6TB disk with a 10TB disk over time, for a total of 5x10TB disks - with 2x250GB SSD's as cache drives. I must admit, I am really impressed with this community. I saw positive mention on reddit and other places, but this is far beyond what I expected.
  3. Confirmed: Verbatim Store n' Go 4GB Flash drive is not compatible with UnRAID. Unsure if BIOS setting had anything to do with it, but it was set to boot from legacy on USB, not UEFI - so doubtful. I had also removed all other devices other than USB boot from the get-go. I really didn't think this USB would be an issue. Guess I have to buy a couple of USB's from the supported list. 🙂 Thanks all!
  4. Okay I tried two things at once: New USB drive (Old no-name junky one I had layin' around at 8GB) and setting BIOS to Legacy Only. Worked. Going to try with the Verbatim again, and see if I can replicate, to see if it was indeed UEFI related, or Flash Drive related. In which case Verbatim Store n' Go should go on the no-no list. Back in a flash.
  5. First time, yes. This time, no. Will try again with running it and see if it does anything. If not, I'll try the manual route. Forgot to mention, it failed with the same issue. edit #2: Failed again after running make bootable - but it booted from it just fine using the windows creation tool. I am going to create one manually now using the .zip and make bootable. Edit #3: Issue persists on manual creation attempt.
  6. It's been freshly wiped using Low Level Format Tool. 4GB Verbatim stick, so not much room for multiple partitions, so no. I edited my post to include an image of how it looks now, if it helps.
  7. Stick prepared with https://unraid.net/download windows creation tool. Re-creating (again) and trying a different port now. Picture of USB as it's created in attached image.
  8. Alright, I'm back from work and having put the kids to sleep. (sigh) First: wow, what a response. I really appreciate it! My network is fine, DHCP enabled and everything is smooth sailing. When accessing the GUI I can't connect to localhost, even, so I can't get in to tools and pull any logs. There doesn't seem to be anything available of that nature from the "start" menu either. (see unraid1 attached) On booting the terminal complains about the device not having device label "UNRAID", which it does. But more crucially, it seems like it's missing network drivers or something. Almost missed it because it went by so fast during boot-up. See unraid2.png attached. I'll try and remake a flash drive and see if that changes anything in the interim, unless anyone comes up with a bright idea. It really looks like it's having network connectivity issues. I tried rebooting using only one connected NIC and it didn't change anything.
  9. Both NIC's GBE Interfaces are connected, as is IPMI (for management and setup purposes) I'll do the diagnostics thing when I get home from work, thanks for the suggestion! :-)
  10. Hi all I've been on a journey from Ubuntu server, to OMV (For a minute or two) to Xpenology, through FreeNAS - now landing on UnRAID. It looks like it's exactly what I've been dreaming of, so I am very excited to get started - and I don't mind the entry fee if it works as advertised. I'm running an ASRock C2750D4I with 16 gigs of ECC memory and 4x6TB WD Red drives (well, it's 3x6 now, one died - hence my moving from Xpenology..) - there's another 10TB one on the way. I've got some SSD's ready for cache mode and I wanted to fiddle around with the interface a bit before the disk arrives next week. (woe is me on that delivery time..) Anywho, it seems the box won't take to an IP address. It comes up with only br0 interface and loopback - address for br0 is 169.254.4.112 - not that it really matters. ifconfig /renew fails with "device not found" This board has two dedicated NIC's for gigabit ethernet and a dedicated IPMI interface on a third NIC. All three are connected. This issue kind of has me stuck, I didn't get much of anything from google. Something obvious I'm missing? I made a default stick, using the tool & I didn't change any options during install. Repeated x2, same result. Thanks - I look forward to being part of the community here. :)
