    WiFi is a support nightmare.

    A server requires a stable and reliable connection, a wired connection is strongly recommended.

    There exist wired to wireless adapters you can use.

     

    i can see that and your right as i did try bridging my unraid machine with my laptop but did find it slow. docker and manjaro updates were slow with the ocational timeouts. im sure its beacuse theres like 100 people crouded onto 1 router. so im going to try a raspberry pi. besided we should be getting a single router for each floor. my motherbourd has built in wifi support. and you say "There exist wired to wireless adapters you can use." so what exsamples? could i get unraid to use the wifi moduale insted of the ethernet. better to have wifi support to be able to use unraid than my server sit under my bed gathering dust beacuse there are no ethernet ports in my room and theres no wps push to connect on the routers

    Since custom banners are coming soon I thought maybe some folks would like to share.

    you`ve gave me an idea. what if there is a plugin where it can automaticlly rotate between unraid banners saved in a certain folder? or have the desert hills change scene over time, mojave style?

  4. When are we going to see WiFi support for times when there is no Ethernet socket. For example where I'm staying there is no wps on the router ao I can't use a Ethernet to WiFi adapter, my router doesn't support bridge mode and the only option is to unreliably bridge my connection with a computer

    I believe the reason USB2 tends to be more reliable is that the BIOS on many motherboards cannot always boot reliably from USB3 drives.

    ah ok i am using the x299 mini itx motherboard. i have got a Kingston usb 2 plugged in the back of the usb 3.1 socket and boots fine. it does sound odd but im hoping i can find 1 that doesn't have a cap because if its plugged in all the time the what am i going to do with the cap? but if its a usb 3 plugged into usb 2 then that ok? or should it all be usb 2? i know im sounding really fussy but i want to make use of the ports and keep everything neat and tidy. its 1 of then things where i want to do it once and get it right.

  6. how is usb 2 more reliable? is it because usb 3 makes no difference. so why bother with a usb 3 drive. i am after a much smaller usb stick than what i have now and i am considering this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GIOCTSS/?coliid=I2CGQ277NN74EN&colid=26UCA3G9VVA48&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp

    because its allot smaller than what i have now. or do i go with a tried and trusted sandisk that's as small as possible? i do plan on making use of the usb 2 header on my motherboard using this adapter https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000IV6S9S/?coliid=I2QHMGAO9YMDJ8&colid=26UCA3G9VVA48&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

    so i dont have a usb stick sticking out the back of the pc.

    am i mad with this idea? or have you seen worse?

    I believe the Limetech USB Creator tool can handle larger drives although I admit I have never tested that.

    well if not then it would be good if they undated the tool to support this feature.

  7. few questions with duplicati.

    1st of i get a update available on the docker and i click update and let it do its thing. yet afterwards there's a button shown for update available. not sure why.

     

    also how would i set duplicati to just make a mirror of the stuff on the share in 1 encrypted aes zip file?

     

    finally if i download the aes file and i know the backup password, then could i open it using 7zip?

  8. the thing is, im trying to install gnome edition. and just get this starting tls startup/shutdown i dont even get to the install page. however the kde version works fine no problems. im running the latest stable version of unraid. in virtual box, my manjaro gnome iso works fine no issues. so how can a free vm program work fine but a paid for hypervisor doesn't? its really annoying because with unraid being a linux hypervisor, im like this should work with anything then fails miserably and really puts me from committing to unraid. i guess that other have had the problem before but why have limetech not fixed this issue. or is there something i need to change? its not the iso as it works fine so why cant unraid?

  9. hi there 1st post here. i have seen a psot about getting manjaro to run on unraid. however i dont seam to have alot of luck right now as it boots fine and i select boot manjaro gnome and it gets stuck at starting tls startup/shutdown as i wait then come back hours later and its still there. i came across a similar issue here from a while back.

    i did find a intresting idea in the simliar problem that says

     

    Disabling MHWD to avoid VESA fallback

    Issue was due to MHWD running during boot creating a fallback xorg conf setting the driver to vesa which is not supported on EFI systems. It’s not clear if the Manjaro devs will address the behaviour but it can be worked around by disabling MHWD from running during boot. At the boot selection prompt, press e and add to the end systemd.mask=mhwd-live.service. X will detect and handle drivers itself fine, the kernel driver for the VGA device lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2 should show itself in use.

     

    but im not sure how to do this

     

    i have tired the seabios option but again makes no difference. i have tried a fresh iso incase it was corrupted. i know the iso works fine as i installed it successfully in VirtualBox. i then tried to convert the vmdk from VirtualBox where manjaro is installed, to a img but got a error even though it worked fine here https://youtu.be/i3vwevALaLU?t=596

     

    i dono if its because its something different or what but i did feel it was worth a go.

     

    so has anyone got this to work on unraid or even any arch based distro? i have chosen the arch vm template as manjaro is based on arch so it should work but in my case not quite.

     

    any ideas?

     

    thank-you
