ljm42 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Hi folks, shortly after Unraid 6.11 stable is released we plan to drop support for some of the older versions of Unraid. My Servers is pushing the evolution of Unraid, and we can't maintain backward compatibility with these older versions long term. We recommend that you update to the current version of Unraid: It is a good idea to read the release notes so you know what has changed: https://wiki.unraid.net/Manual/Release_Notes Backup your flash drive from Main -> Boot Device -> Flash -> Flash Backup Navigate to Tools -> Update OS. Depending on your settings you may need to press "Check for updates" Reboot when prompted If you have support questions about the new version post your diagnostics.zip file (from Tools -> Diagnostics) and a detailed description of the problem to a new support thread here https://forums.unraid.net/forum/55-general-support/ My Servers will continue to support these versions of Unraid for now: 6.10.0 - 6.10.2 (although we recommend 6.10.3 or 6.11.5) 6.10.3 (although we recommend 6.11.5) 6.11.0 - 6.11.4 (although we recommend 6.11.5) 6.11.5 Note that RC releases are not meant to be run long-term, so if you are still on an older RC version, you'll want to update as well. My Servers will specifically be dropping support for these versions of Unraid in the coming weeks, please update before that happens: 6.9.0 6.9.1 6.9.2 6.10.0-rc[x] 6.10.1-rc[x] 6.10.2-rc[x] 6.11.0-rc[x] 6.11.1-rc[x] My Servers has dropped support for these versions of Unraid: 6.9.0-rc[x] If you are unable to upgrade, please point me to your forum thread discussing the issue. Thanks! 3 Quote Link to comment
stefan.tomko Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I am struggling to upgrade to 6.10.3 as I (and others) can no longer pass specific USB device to VM. There are some workarounds mentioned, however they are not really "user friendly" Quote Link to comment

stefan.tomko Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 If you read through the thread, you will find out that it doesn't work. I am using USB manager right now with 6.9.2 without any issues. As soon as you upgrade to 6.10.3, device can no longer be passed to VM that way. there are some "obscure" steps https://community.home-assistant.io/t/solved-conbee-2-fails-to-connect-to-zha-ha-in-unraid-vm/431276/2 Quote Link to comment
BigDanT Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) I'm on 6.9.2 I tried to upgrade but most of my docker containers that rely on SQLite DB's (Plex, Tautulli, others) all got corrupted so i had to downgrade to 6.9.2. (No more corruptions since) I'd hope that "My Servers" would have provided support for at least the last stable release "6.9.2" before the big leap to "6.10.x" ?

We need to write a feature request that explains what needs to change, I've started the conversation here: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/122358-upgrade-from-692-610rc4-usb-in-vm-problem/page/2/#comment-1169506 If we can quickly get a clear understanding of what is needed I'll do what I can to make it happen. Probably not for 6.11.0 but hopefully shortly after that. In the meantime, it sounds like multiple people have had success manually setting up these devices, so I'd ask you to try manually editing the XML in 6.10.3 or 6.11.0 and see if you can get it working. That will probably help you understand better what is needed in the feature request too Quote Link to comment

My forum thread is here Thanks for letting me know. What I can assure you is that there isn't a widespread problem running Plex on Unraid 6.10.x. It sounds like you downgraded before grabbing diagnostics so it is very difficult to speculate what the issue might have been. 6.11.0 is very near to a stable release, you are welcome to wait for that if you like. Since you had trouble with SQLite, I'd recommend that you backup those databases before your next upgrade, and if you do have issues be sure to grab a diagnostics.zip file (from Tools -> Diagnostics) and post in a new thread (not this one please) where you talk about your experience, how you are detecting the problem, etc. Actually, it might be helpful to grab a diagnostics.zip file from 6.9.2 right before the upgrade as well, just in case we need to compare things. Continuing to run 6.9.2 is not a good idea, it is almost 1.5 years old and it is missing many security updates. We'll give you at least a few weeks after releasing 6.11.0 before we prevent 6.9.x from connecting to My Servers. Quote Link to comment

That will probably help you understand better what is needed in the feature request too I followed advice given by SimonF and (since I already use USB manager) used serial mode for the device, and changed the path in configuration accordingly. Now things work. I will attempt upgrade to 6.10.3 again soon. I can't say what is needed to fix this. I believe this is impacting only this particular USB device. For the time being, as long as it works and nothing changes, I don't care if the name of the device is A or B Update: I did upgrade to 6.10.3 successfully Edited September 17, 2022 by stefan.tomko Quote Link to comment

ThatTallGuy21 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Really happy someone brought up the above issue with the Conbee II. I'll have to circle back and attempt to make this correction as well, as this was the immediate hang-up I thought of when seeing that I needed to upgrade in the upcoming weeks. Hopefully that goes smoothly. As someone who's new to UnRaid and running 6.9.2, is there a recommended guide (maybe from SpaceInvaderOne?) which details how to go about the upgrade process?

And thanks to SimonF for their excellent USB Manager plugin. These serial devices should not block anyone from upgrading to 6.10 and beyond. Quote Link to comment

Wispa Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Really at a loss here - any idea how to prevent this rather annoying message from showing - FYI I have never been out of date, it just started showing for no reason even though I'm on 6.11.X Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 You are using a release candidate, update to v6.11.0 final. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 6.11.0 stable has been released for while now. You should update. The message which you're seeing is 100% correct. Quote Link to comment
Wispa Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Okay did a reboot and finally 6.11.0 stable is showing as an optional update - before both stable and next releases were showing as "up to date" without an upgrade option - even when manually checking for updates. Quote Link to comment
Naed Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) I have to say I'm not a fan of the way that the available updates are shown. I have been on 6.11.0-rc5 for quite a while as I didn't know the stable 6.11.0 (let alone 6.11.1) had been released. I'm just now updating to 6.11.1 as a result of this warning appearing for MyServers. I've also noticed that Release Notes often won't load for me and I have to refresh the page.
