Posted April 7, 20214 yr I am so sick of Unraid, it is the the biggest headache that I have ever paid for. I just upgraded to version 6.9.1, rebooted the server, and now there no GUI, no display output, I can't SSH into it and when I hit the power button it does nothing. Every time I do anything to this server it is such a PIA.
April 7, 20214 yr Author I hit the reboot button on my motherboard, now it is showing in my routers network map as it wasn't before but I can still not get the GUI up or access through SSH.
April 7, 20214 yr Author I pulled the plug, took out the USB and checked it on my windows machine, it reported errors, I fixed them, put the USB back in the server, powered on.... Still nothing.
April 7, 20214 yr Author Nope, really wish Unraid would have prompted me to do that before upgrading. As I just put it in my PC to fix the errors, I did a backup but not sure what good that's going to do me now.

Did you upgrade to 6.9.1 from 6.9 or from 6.8.x? Do you know which mode (legacy or UEFI) your flash drive is configured to boot? Do you have a monitor and keyboard attached to the server or is it headless? Edited April 7, 20214 yr by Hoopster
April 7, 20214 yr Author Yes, the router did assign it the correct IP but, when I just checked it now appears to be it says it is offline again. I upgraded from 6.8.x to 6.9.1 If I remember correctly it is legacy mode Headless although I have now attached a monitor and keyboard but nothing was displayed I powered down the server again, checked the USB, no errors, turned it on and got a video output, went into the bios, made sure it was legacy mode was enabled and the flash drive was the proper boot device, saved and selected, "Unraid with GUI" then as I was about to type my password my keyboard would not work. So I restarted again and let it go through its normal boot process, as I was about to type my password into the terminal the keyboard quick working and a bunch of text came on the screen.
April 7, 20214 yr Author Got it to start up in safe mode, I attached my diagnostics file. big-savy-diagnostics-20210407-1449.zip Edited April 7, 20214 yr by knowpistons
April 7, 20214 yr Community Expert Nothing assigned as disk1, is that correct? 2 hours ago, knowpistons said: Got it to start up in safe mode Have you tried without nvidia plugin?
April 7, 20214 yr Author Yes that is correct, I removed it about a year ago. How do i get rid of the nvidia plugin? Edited April 7, 20214 yr by knowpistons

The fact that you can boot in safe mode is a pretty good indication that a plugin is causing the problem. In the GUI, of course you just go to the Plugins screen, select the checkbox next to the plugin and click the Remove button. If that is not available in Safe Mode or you can't get to the GUI you can put the flash drive back in your Windows PC and: delete the appropriate .plg from /config/plugins and reboot.
April 8, 20214 yr Author I deleted the nvidia plugin, gpu statistics plugin and deleted the 3 user scripts that involve the GPU. Tried starting out of safe mode, same problems
April 8, 20214 yr Community Expert Was this in GUI mode or not? Have you tried it both ways? Just in case you were loading a lot of stuff from nerd pack, you might also delete that plugin.
April 8, 20214 yr Author Yes, I have tried both ways and deleting nerd pack, same thing happens, in GUI mode it freezes on the login screen and in headless mode the login prompt comes up and then the a ton of text comes on the screen and freezes, no access to GUI, keyboard doesn't work, the last thing on the screen is ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt ]--- Edited April 8, 20214 yr by knowpistons

The config folder from your backup has all you need to get going exactly as you were with a new install. Prepare flash as new install using 6.8.3, then copy config folder from your backup
April 8, 20214 yr Author When I set up the USB stick I could not remember if I set a custom name, ip address, or enabled UEFI boot so I only checked UEFI boot. When I put it in my computer my bios reset, so that was interesting reconfiguring that but I got it working on 6.8.3 with your instructions, Thank you. Oddly, it didn't even detect an unclean shutdown but I started a parity check just incase. Now what am I supposed to do about upgrading?
April 8, 20214 yr Community Expert Let parity check finish, it is correcting sync errors. Is plex your only docker?
April 8, 20214 yr Author Linux server. How do I just go back to where it was on Sunday before all this hell started.
