  1. Well that's not good... Hopefully this has zero affect on Unraid. I literally just bought the 2 for $500 Red Pro 18TB deal that have going on this morning to replace my parity drives. And their website has no way to cancel an order....
  2. Hi all, First off, thank you for any assistance as I've spent a few hours researching and trying things and got gotten anywhere. I'll admit I'm pretty ignorant with Linux, so my apologies in advance if it's something silly and dumb. I just upgraded my aged Lenovo TS140 Thinkserver that used a Quadro P400 for transcoding to a much newer build utilizing an i7 11700K, really for the much better transcoding capabilities and extra horsepower. I found a high end, new Z590 motherboard on clearance that I am using, the Asrock Z590 OC Formula. I know the Intel CPU has Quick Sync, and I know the Asrock motherboard doesn't have any video outputs on the motherboard, and I also noticed that within the BIOS there was nothing related to anything Intel Graphics that I could find. That said, I am using that Quadro P400 for now to navigate the BIOS, I migrated everything fine, and my Quadro P400 card works just fine for transcoding and such like my previous machine, as well as shows as a passthrough GPU in System Devices (I still have the Nvidia Driver plugin installed). The Intel GPU is nowhere to be found in System Devices. I installed Intel GPU TOP plugin, rebooted, and nothing shows when using the intel_gpu_top command in terminal. I created the blank i915.conf file using "touch /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf" from terminal, but still nothing shows up in system options or Plex transcoding. I've made sure my Plex extra parameter is set for Intel, and removed all Nvidia options from the container options as well. Is there something that I'm just missing here? The one thing that worries me is I found in fine print in the manual of this motherboard that it doesn't support integrated graphics, but that was in the "Rear I/O" section of the manual, and on the spec page it lists "Graphics" as "n/a", but it wouldn't make sense that the motherboard actually disables a feature of the CPU I'd think, so I'm sure I'm just being dumb here. I do have the Nvidia Driver, GPU Statistics, and Intel GPU TOP plugins installed. When viewing the different devices on GPU statistics, only the Nvidia shows up. FWIW, when I type into terminal: cd /dev/dri ls I get the below output, which I think is a good thing? I'd like the option to pass through the integrated Intel GPU to a VM, or at the very least use it for transcoding instead of my P400. I've attached a few logs. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

  3. Hi all, my apologies in advance on my ignorance - I'm trying my best to learn and have read through all I can find here but am at a dead end I feel. I'm using the ARK docker and have a server running with zero problems without mods. However, as soon as I update my INIs and add the appropriate game parameters to the container (Extra Game Parameters = -automanagedmods and Game Parameters = ?GameModIds=ModID1,ModID2) the server no longer starts (even though the container is running). I saw in a previous post to use the command ${STEAMCMD_DIR}/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir ${SERVER_DIR} +"workshop_download_item 346110 ModID" validate +quit and I can see the mods themselves download to my appdata\ark-se\steamapps\workshop\content\346110 but it doesn't copy the mods to the appdata\ark-se\ShooterGame\Content\Mods directory, nor will the server itself start. I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
  4. Regardless, thank you so much for your help! Now I can get to work setting my server up with this awesome OS. I'm so excited!
  5. You sir are a genius! That worked! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Are there any limitations with booting via UEFI versus legacy? Everything I read pointed to always wanting to use legacy.
  6. Yes sir, I did try remaking the flash drive with that checkbox enabled, and I also set the BIOS to try legacy first and if legacy fails, try EFI.
  7. Thank you guys so much for the help. Both flash drives do boot on my other machines, just not the TS140. Below is a link to an album that has the relevant BIOS settings, along with the failure boot message. https://imgur.com/a/24b7WeB
  8. Hey all, I'm at a loss - I've been trying for 2 days now to install and try out UNRAID on my Lenovo Thinkserver TS140, but cannot get it to boot from my flash drive. Any help will be greatly appreciated! I've done all of the following: -Set BIOS to legacy only mode -Made sure Secure Boot was disabled -Disabled all boot devices except the "USB KEY" which is the flash drive -Set a single USB port to "Debug Mode" which says places it in USB 2.0 mode -Tried all the above with a 32GB USB 3 flash drive, made from the flash disk creator utility (and after failure, created manually) -Tried all the above with a 16GB USB 2 flash drive, made from the flash disk creator utility (and after failure, created manually)
