  1. In 6.8.3 edition how do you enable https???? It seems that some options are gone from the identification tab
  2. Hello once again After a lot of installations and VM removals as well I d like to share some things I found weird I am using Unraid Ver 6.8.3 in a Dell T7600 workstation with dual zeon E5-2667 and 64GB ECC ram. I tried popOS, Linux Mint, Ubuntu (all derives from debian if I can recall). Anyway.... All Vm's made with the classic options like Q35-4.2, OVMF, Vdisk as VirtIO ans RAW and finally passing through an AMD GPU rx570/4GB Polaris (first time in the red field) I also tried Win10 VM passing through the AMD Gpu and an SSD for the installation and the only thing went wrong were the 440 emulation chipset. With that chip set during Adrenaline installation blank screen and that s it. Nothing I could do afterwards. I destroyed the VM and changed the chip set to Q35 and seemed to work fine with AMD, Probably with a green card the 440 chip set should work. Going back to Linux VM's again, started with 4 cores and 8gb ram and VNC and all distro's installation went smoothly. I tried to install splashtop client streemer but unfortunately that was only for ubuntu 18.04. Anyway dont forget the first thing to do after installation and sudo apt update && dist-upgrade to install openssh-server and maybe set a static IP at the same time before rebooting in order to be able to shut down the OS properly if something happens (and with gpu pass through IT WILL happen). After updates shut down PopOS and tried to pass through the GPU and the audio part of course along with a wireless logitech keyboard with mousepad combo. And there it was ..... a black screen. Forced shutdown and reboot the Unraid and tried a couple of times / cables(HDMI) with no success. I also added thje vbios gpu but nothing. Changes back to VNC and it worked only once after that in each reboot I had a black screen with host dint initialize gpu or something like that. As I had read earlier possible problems I had already installed the script for resetting the gpu. Also tried with 1 core / 2 cores, lower memory but nothing, So destroyed VM and tried Linux Mint. Exactly the same behavior as PopOS . After passing through the GPU black screen. And here comes the first question 1. Was there a way to pre install amd open source drivers before switching to the passedthrough gpu? And how these drivers are installed? I ve read somewhere that from Kernel 5.0+ the drivers are baked in the kernel (and I was using the latest distros with kernel ver 5.3 or 5.4) Final attempt was to start the Linux Mint VM with the gpu/audio passed -through from the very start and the keyboard of course. That's when it got interested. To my surprise I saw the installation screen but even though passed the wireless keyboard I could t choose the next screen because the keyboard couldn't be recognized. To make the long story short I believe that was because I had the Unraid boot in UEFI mode so the keyboard was in legacy mode probably and couldn't be recognized until the OS starts. And we move on to the second question 2. How can you change the Unraid mode from UEFI to MBR/Legacy without re installing Unraid from scratch? At the end gave PopOS a final try with the same parameters as Mint meaning to pass through the gpu from the start and dont begin with VNC graphics. To tell you the truth i dont believe Unraid is so tolerable to change the gpu adapter from actual gpu to vnc and vice versa. At least for me it didnt work either with stuck OS or black screen and message Host didnt initialized gpu adapter yet. Anyway .... I was lucky and PopOS dont want from the user to press something to continue and auto loads to the OS and from there you can install it. That made the trick because when it loaded I had keyboard/mouse movement and I was able to finish installation. Everything worked fine, updated all packages...etc. Problem with that procedure was . I wasn't able afterwards to change anything in the VM from the gui interface.Each change led to greyd out menus and of course no changes kept. I was only able to change memory - cores from xml view. All other VM's created with the VNC way worked ok with me changing things from the gui view. 3.Anyone has any thoughts why this happens? And follows a few more questions if someone can help. 4. How can I tell if the gpu is being used by the OS and the open source drivers are loaded? After a lot of reading wrote down some commands like lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' which gave me: Kernel driver in use amdgpu Kernel modules amdgpu Does this mean that the opensource drivers are in use? Also command dpkg -l amdgpu gave me: dpkg-query: nopackages found matching amdgpu (which is weird according to the above command) In an article noticed that for the drivers to be installed you need to enable 32 bit architecture (Why is that? All drivers exist in 64 edition nowadays) and then install admgpu drivers and Vulcan also with opencl-icd with the following commands sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 Install support for 32-bit games: sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu firmware-linux firmware-linux-nonfree libdrm-amdgpu1 sudo apt install vulkan-tools vulkan-utils vulkan-validationlayers mesa-vulkan-drivers libvulkan1 sudo apt install mesa-opencl-icd sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 Install support for Vulkan API (will be functional only if you have a Vulkan capable GPU): sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386 Are all of the above really needed? Or do I need only the Vulkan part? Isnt Vulkan embedded in Kernel yet? I would like to apologise for the long post but I thing its better to keep all here than to spread my experience and questions in many seperate posts. Thank you in advance!!
  3. Hello I ve just used the script seems to work but in the video @SpaceInvaderOne didn t mention how to find the api and user token key since he too set the value to 1 but let it there without define those keys. Where to find them? Edit... when I used a custom PopOS icon next restart total mess... couldn t start VM service nor Docker Service... multiple errors at system log. I shut it down completely and lucky me next reboot worked but all the icons got lost that the script downloaded.... Am I missing something here?
  4. Hello I d like to ask what would be the best settings to setup for a linux vm and specifically Machine: Q35-4.2 Bios : OVMF Primary vDisk Type: raw or qcow? and why Primary vDisk bus: virtio scsi or sata ? Thank you ps I have it for creation from afternoon and couldnt find somewhere to mention the best options for these settings only for windows
  5. Just had an epiphany..... I m seeing the total file size from 2 different sources each with different file system, one from the external hfs+ and the other from inside the array with xfs. So isnt correct that I m seeing different file sizes? Then again found some folders with hundreds of files inside and had exactly the same file size,...... pf........
  6. Hello Coming back again with same issue since I cant resolve the basic function of the nas to somehow correctly copy the files at first place in order to keep them safe and share them. So been trying for several days now to copy over an external hfs+ hdd to the unraid array shared folder a total amount of 1.3tb. Since the folders and files are hundreds of thousands i go folder - folder. Noticed though upon checking the total file size after copy completion that its not the same (from some kilobytes to some megs some times) Other thing I noticed is that it doesnt copy correctly the r,w,x attributes of folder and filed and compare function of Krusader isnt so helpful with its merge capability. Any thoughts of how i could make an accurate transfer of the data to the unraid ?? PS I also tried copy from a mac directly attaching the external hdd to it instead of the nas (and not using Krusader) but i have again the same behavior of different total sizes between 2 folders. Am I missing something here?
  7. The file transfer was from disk to disk, so I don't think this is the issue here....
  8. Thank you for your thorough answer. Indeed both Linux and Mac since they are both Unix based share a lot in file structure and permissions. I managed to make the copy but today one designer noticed that (even the copy finished without errors) some or many fonts had been transferred only as a name and not actual size (zero bytes) and In-design couldn't handle the lettering inside the photos. He ll try again to copy them over the network but it s going to take at least 1 and a half day.....I don't know if that is Krusaders problem or not... but it should have pop up a warning message of the unknown reason it couldn't transfer correctly those files. SMB has for sure problem transferring files with old - long file names (see that happening many times) Thank you again though
  9. I under probably an issue here with Krusader and what troubles me is this..... I have connected an external usb hdd to copy all its contents to the unraid and therefore the mac users can work from there their files. The external hdd is formated in hfs+ file system and even though i managed to copy all 394gb ok, it couldn't copy the following files/directories .DocumentRevisions-v100 --x .TemporaryItems -wr (w=write, r=read, x=?) .Trashes -xw .journal --- .journal_info_block --- (under user:root, Group:root) Right clicking TemporaryItems, Trashes and Document Revisions inside Krusader and going to permissions->advanced permisions and under user, checking show entries, seemed to do the trick and copy the above files to the unrad (Not sure if they are needed though to exist at all - I am not a mac user and probably never will but our designers use them) but for .journal and .journal_info_block everything in properties are greyd out and can t do anything. Is there a way through terminal or something to take ownership kind of and copy them (again not sure if i need them at first place Thank you)
  10. ....which is exactly what I did but wanted to make sure. i got confused by spaceinvader's video because when he had his mnt/cache/appdata path typed he had choices to exclude folders in the Excluded Folders: setting (folders showing app) but in my /mnt/user/appdata was empty (which seemed to me pretty weird - probably because I have no dockers installed yet only plug ins) Thank you very much for the clarification !!!!!
  11. Ok after a long read of more pro questions a noobicon one coming up but its essential to me and however i write it I can t seem to find a straight answer. At least maybe it will be useful for someone having the same (understanding probably) problem like me. So, I m in CA Backup / Restore Appdata Configuration settings and need to browse to the path of appdata share. So question follows... is mnt/user/appdata stored in flash drive or the array? because I have 2 options (having the same outcome?) either select /mnt/user/appdata or mnt/disk1/appdata (why i find same folder different locations?) I dont use a cache drive and inside flash only files i found about appdata are the .cfg ones (for configuration) Thank you (please dont point me to a book in which I ll find an answer...i need to set it up at last,,,,been several days of endless searching for every single option of why and how to do it)
  12. Hi Second installation of unraid (both 6.6.6 ver) and trying to figure out what went differently from the first and having the above message. After let it finish with the hard disks for 1+ day I went back and through settings disabled both Vm's and Docker in order to go to network settings and change the ip /dhcp/gateway to static and so i did. After reboot i went back to re enable Docker and Vm's and noticed after installing CA plugins (irrelevant info) the message <<Docker Service Not Enabled - Only Plugins Available To Be Installed Or Manager>>. Going to docker tab shows <<Docker Service failed to start.>> and finally settgins->docker i get 2 messages 1 /mnt/user/system/docker/docker.img and 2 /mnt/user/system/docker/docker.img which is also logical since in shares tab there is nothing to be shared. I went step by step through remote to the other unraid server to check the difference and create the user shares but even if I am trying to create they dont show up afterwards (after reboot also) in shares tab and of course I have the same message when going to apps as the title of the post. Any thoughts of what should I do and why this happened at first place? Thank you PS Last thing I ve noticed in the main tab is that the parity disk has no info at all (should it be this way???) and the other 3 disks have the message <<unmountable unsuppoted partition layout (formatted them and by default they formatted in xfs partition which is good sign) AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM!!!!!!! Docker started!!!! Just need to know if parity drive has a special file system and if it has to be shown in the main tab. (Went through many Spaceinvader One videos and observed during his scrolling through Unraid OS that also his parity was empty ..... probably I m ok)
  13. Yes it seems this way but before posted as already mentioned was reading about docker images volumes and containers. All that are theoretical and in practice its always another thing. Probably with what you ve said in your mind it's like giving me the solution. is there a do this and you re ok kind of answer, because feels like I m asking in a forum for cars I have a problem with the suspension and getting an answer like read the car manual and you ll find the answer. I don t want to be offensive in any way but that s how it feels. I dont thing that I m so different as a person than all the other world. When ti comes to pc h/w, networks, cabling, installation, racks ...etc and I am asked all kind of info/troubleshooting I just give a straight (and most times a thorough explain even though the one) answer do this .....because that..... Is it so difficult to get once that kind of explanation even once. i am not the type of guy that asks in forums, on the contrary, in my life is the one who got tired of giving them, but this project i have with unraid has a time limit and I m already there and haven't figure out yet. So an answer like read the bible and you ll find your faith won t really help in this situation. Thank you though for trying
  14. Hello I m having a problem or multiple ones to be honest. So I ll try to give out as much information as I can (I tried first to read some othr posts / documentations before posting but it seems I can t find a way to solve my problem - probably due to lack of knowledge). So here it goes I installed syncthing and during the installation form I filled in the host path 2 with the path /mnt/user/ (it was empty and beneath it mentions greyed out Container Path: /sync) AppdataConfig Path-> /mnt/user/appdata/syncthing (the default one) Should I have entered different paths? Also shouldn't Krusader see the Sync installation path somewhere. I can't find it in none of the above paths I entered during installation I started syncthing and first thing to do is set the already created folder Music Data Base which Krusader can see it in this directory ->/media/Music Data Base in unraid shares tab it uses this path -> /mnt/user/Music Data Base Why 2 different paths for the same directory? Shouldnt all programs see it at the same place? So in the share folder inside syncthing i typed /media/Music Data Base and during save got an error message <<2019-02-08 12:03:55: Failed to create folder root directory mkdir /mnt/user: permission denied 2019-02-08 12:03:55: Error on folder "Muz" (s3xqe-civks): folder path missing>> After that I tried /mnt/user/Music Data Base but with the same error message. Ok probably its straightforward what to do due to the message but still i can't figure out what to do Any help would be highly appreciated!!!
  15. Thanks. In case anyone else searches for the same thing... you have to go to dockers, find krusader, edit the icon, go to unassigned devices which was mounted to /mnt/disks/ and edit that path to change the R/W or R to R/W Slave or R Slave. Did the trick even though i dont know the difference between these two options.
  16. Thank you ... probably a typo. So i m in the krusader, plugged in a usb stick and mounted. After mount a folder created inside UNASSIGNED DEVICES with the name New_Volume but inside that folder no contents of the usb drive. When i also go to mnt folder, no <<disks folder>> inside as it supposed to be. What am i doing wrong again? Ps My share exists in /media/Music Data Base (opposed to the video i ve seen in which <<Spaceinvader One>> shares were on /UNRAID/user/Test)
  17. Well i pressed done in configuration after setting the extra mounting points and came up with the following error root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name='binhex-krusader' --net='bridge' --privileged=true -e TZ="Europe/Athens" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e 'TEMP_FOLDER'='/config/krusader/tmp' -e 'WEBPAGE_TITLE'='Tower' -e 'VNC_PASSWORD'='' -e 'UMASK'='000' -e 'PUID'='99' -e 'PGID'='100' -p '6080:6080/tcp' -v '/mnt/user':'/media':'rw' -v '/mnt/disks/':'UNASSIGNED DEVICES':'rw' -v '/boot/':'FLASH':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/binhex-krusader':'/config':'rw' 'binhex/arch-krusader' /usr/bin/docker: Error response from daemon: invalid volume specification: '/mnt/disks/:UNASSIGNED DEVICES:rw': invalid mount config for type "bind": invalid mount path: 'UNASSIGNED DEVICES' mount path must be absolute. See '/usr/bin/docker run --help'. Probably because of the error no Krusader show up in installed plugins (in which you select a plugin url and paste it but none mentioned what to choose in the below section -> select local plug in path)
  18. Hello I ve come across Unraid while i was testing freenas and xpenology due to a task ive been given for a nas server only for 2 mac's which will be using the nas for storing data and an external backup. When i had no luck with freenas even though i configured it ok and shared content which was viewable and editable by both mac's i couldnt make an external hard drive to be seen internally by the nas and copy paste the old data from external disk inside to gain time. Each time i tried to mount it, was importing all the files inside the nas disks (didnt want that at all - time consuming) and after that i was able to move them only by command line or by sahre using the network. Anyway, enough with my little story. I came across Unraid and i am willing to pay instead of my company for the software licence but i have to present them a full solution. I have the nas home testing it and until now i installed it ok, installed the plugin in order for the apps to show up. I was able to share files but in Unraid there is no special mac os share as i ve come to realize and not sure if people there using mac will be able to see shares (Do I have to make a special kind of share for macs - I know issue for another thread) Finally i installed Krusader, read 12 page posts here and watched the famous video <<Easily move, copy and sync files to unRAID, within unRAID and from unRAID using Krusader>> still no luck undestand what i have to fill in the first page before installation for the options Host port /path ...etc ..etc I am using ver 6.6.6 with the latest version of krusader, only one hdd in xfs file format for demo purposes. So no cache, no parity disks yet. I need help with paths probably. Here is what I ve left with before installation So from add path i have to make the unassigned devices path (ok with that), a Flash path mounting to /boot/ (ok with that too) but by default the host path 1 isn't there. Whats the difference letting cointer path /mnt/user instead of plain /mnt/ that many of you have in your print screens. Also the appdata path? Should i leave as it is or change it to /mnt/user/appdata/kde? (user means root?) Any help would be appreciated because im running out of time Thank you in advance
