I have been running for 4 days without a crash with just one single stick of memory. I am going to let it go for at least a few more days then I will try putting in the other sticks and seeing which one is giving problems. Its strange that memtest did not pick this up at all but I will be able to figure this out now I think.

Ok I will give that a try. Crashes are becoming more frequent now, often after a few hours and less than one day. Memtest does pass but it does seem like a hardware issue.

It crashed again, this time I think we might have something more useful. Could it be that the USB ports are causing this and are failing or not drawing power properly for devices that need a lot of power? Especially I am thinking the USB port that the Coral TPU is plugged into? Thoughts? That is what it looks like to me from the log. I attached all of the log from the crash and reboot. @JorgeB if you could have a look at the first few lines and let me know if you think this is what is going on. Thanks! syslog-crash-2.rtf

I had another crash last night, c-states are disabled. Frustratingly there seems to be little of interest in the syslog. The only activity I see is this which I believe is my Coral TPU: Oct 28 23:11:22 Tower kernel: usb 2-2: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd Oct 28 23:11:22 Tower kernel: usb 2-2: LPM exit latency is zeroed, disabling LPM. At this point I really do not know what to do, except hope to get more information before the crash. EDIT: I have also posted a screenshot of what is printed on to the screen at the time of the crash.

Ok, I disabled c-states in the bios. I have done a overnight memtest, that passed without any issues at all. Let's see if the c-states fixes the problem.

@JorgeB My server crashed again today. Managed to capture the syslog. Not sure what it all means. I am attaching a snip of it. I have done some googling not sure exactly what to make of it. Let me know what you think. Thanks! syslog-crash.rtf

I am waiting for it to crash again, I think I will need that data to understand why this is happening. The memtest was fine, ran o/n no errors.

Done, saw you recommend that in another thread. Good idea, that should get us more information. It passed an overnight run of memtest so all good there. Thanks!

Hi, I am experiencing these every couple of days. Previously the system was rock solid. Nothing stands out in the diagnostics to me (attached), problem is that I need to capture this as it happens. Anyone have any ideas? I will do a memory test. That seems like the most likely culprit and report back. tower-diagnostics-20231018-1840.zip

Hi Phillip, I didn't think so but I did have it set to a static IP. I set it to a different address and it is all good now.

Hi, Yesterday I replaced the battery in my UPS and when I brought my server back up, I couldn't access the webgui. After trying several times, I realized that I could in fact access it about 20% of the time. I investigated further and it seemed like the flash had been corrupted so I went for a new install. However, my new install has the same exact problem and I have no idea what is going on. I am attaching my diagnostics. Would be grateful for any ideas at this point. I've been pulling my hair out for hours. EDIT: one more thing to add. Access seems to be better if I type tower.local, it will connect most of the time rather than the IP address of the server. tower-diagnostics-20230528-1912.zip

Hoping someone might be able to help. I have installed Big Sur using the video instructions and it boots up and works well with VNC. I have been trying to setup passthrough of a 580x for the past few weeks and have had no luck but I feel like I am making progress and am likely close to making it work. Hardware is Asrock x399 Tiachi, Threadripper 1900x. IOMMU and other virtualization features are turned on in the BIOS. I have also enabled the PCIe overide and VFIO unsafe interrupts (both). Seems to be necessary. The GPU (video/audio) is binded to VFIO. I can pass the graphics card through to a Windows 10 VM. I am using the vBIOS for my card here: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/194686/dell-rx580-8192-170301 When I try to pass the 580x through to my Mac VM, it hangs on the Mac loading screen at about 25%. My xml is below, hopefully someone knows how to fix this, I am at a bit of a loss: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>

Thanks, helped me out too.

I operate a microscope at a University that collects ~5-10 TB of data daily. The company that supplies the microscope are unfortunately bunch of total morons. They installed a new windows server that acts as our fileserver recently where the data is saved to initially. They have locked us out of direct connections to the data from all of our linux machines on the network. No amount of calm reasoning and even angry yelling/pleading/threats seems to help. They only allow one single SMB mount of our data on a single fixed address. This computer is connected via slow 1Gbe connection that runs ~30-40 MB/s so not even gigabit speeds. We can change the address of the computer but all we are ever going to get is a single SMB mount of the data. The path to getting the data is the following file server-> SMB mount on windows machine -> copy to linux machines for processing. Obviously our linux machines can be networked with much faster connections 10Gbe or better. My question is does anyone have a good idea of how to bypass this idiocy so I can get my data in a timely fashion. It currently takes me weeks. Our IT person suggests to build another linux computer to mirror the data and send it to other places. That's super expensive ~30k, we have ordered this but it will likely be many more months till it is ready. Its all enterprise grade stuff so there as still tons of supply issues. Does anyone has any good ideas of how to get around this lunacy? Thanks!

Got it, I needed to add hwaccel_args: -c:v h264_cuvid after the ffmpeg lines for my inputs. One last question is what should I put for the /dev/dri/renderD128, should I just leave this? It seems to work..

Wondering if someone could post a working config for an nvidia gpu. I have been working at gettin frigate running over the past few days and am really happy with my config, I would just like to make use of my GPU. Here is what I have done. I added --runtime=nvidia to my extra parameters, I added a key for 'NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES' and set to 'all'. Then I added my GPU ID to another key called 'NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES' with value 'GPU-41cb87cb-9647-0b97-bd8e-2921d00c4844' I then deleted /dev/dri/renderD128 from Intel GPU/AMD mapping. This didn't start, so I put it back, it did start but doesn't use the GPU. I am sure it is something obvious I have missed but I am a little stumped and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Here is my config.yml mqtt: host: 192.168.1.205 port: 1883 detectors: coral: type: edgetpu device: usb birdseye: enabled: True mode: continuous cameras: frontdoor: ffmpeg: inputs: - path: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554//h264Preview_01_main roles: - detect - record side: ffmpeg: inputs: - path: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554//h264Preview_01_main roles: - detect - record front: ffmpeg: inputs: - path: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554//h264Preview_01_main roles: - detect - record detect: width: 2560 height: 1920 record: enabled: True retain: days: 30 mode: all events: retain: default: 30 mode: motion

Thanks, I set this up on my HP p1102W printer. Works great!

Ok, I loaded up a newer usb drive and this boots. So it has something to do with the old usb drive I have been using. Will now look into how I would move my install onto this new drive.

Hi I gave this a try but I am still having the same problem. Really don't know what to do. This is what my syslinux.cfg looks like: default menu.c32 menu title Lime Technology, Inc. prompt 0 timeout 50 label unRAID OS menu default kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot mem=64G label unRAID OS GUI Mode kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins, no GUI) kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode label unRAID OS GUI Safe Mode (no plugins) kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui unraidsafemode label Memtest86+ kernel /memtest

Thanks, I will give this a try tonight.

Thanks for the reply, this was one of the first things that I tried but it wasn't clear to me where to add this so I may not have put it in the right place. Do you know where it should go? Other things I tried were to rename the EFI- folder to EFI. I tried legacy settings in the bios for UEFI as well as defaults. I moved the usb stick from usb3 to Usb2. I moved the sticks of memory around. None of this fixed the problem, so I am back to this idea of entering the memory in the syslinux.cfg but I am unsure what to do. This file is also in the root of my flash drive as well as in the EFI folder, which one should I modify and how?

I installed a new system today, Asrock x399 Taichi, Threadripper 1900x, 64 GB of memory. Memory on system looks fine in BIOS. Also updated BIOS to latest version. Did a Memtest also, all is fine. When I boot to unraid, it says 'Loading bzroot.... Not enough memory to load specified image' Does anyone know what is going on?

Hi, as far as I remember they are part of the docker, I think the green check marks indicate you have them installed. Look in the /usr/bin or equivalent directory to be sure. If they aren't there then install them.

Wondering if someone can help me out with videos? I got videojs, localfiles (allow files with all extensions), and ffmpeg/mediainfo installed but I cannot figure out how to actually upload video. The web uploader doesn't take them. The tutorials seem to suggest that they have to be put in a local dir and then synced through videojs. But I can't figure out where do they go? EDIT: Ok I figured it out, they have to go in galleries/folder and then if you run quick sync they will get picked up. Still struggling with getting it to do auto thumbnails. EDIT2: The piwigo forum has the answer: http://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=175041 I did this and I was able to generate thumbnails as well.

Really appreciate all of your hard work on this! Its an essential part of my setup and works great.
