SPNKr Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Hey all, been bashing my head against this for the past few hours. Today I got a new drive, took the server outside, dusted it out with some compressed air, brought it back in, installed the drive, and haven't been able to access it since. The weird thing is that the unraid connect UI says it's online, I can find it with ping from another computer, and if I plug in a monitor it gets all the way through boot and I can login through the command line etc. I also can't access via windows or linux on the network. Where things get weird is that I can't get into the GUI on the server either through booting with GUI or Safe Mode with GUI (this hangs on a black screen with a blinking cursor). I can boot the desktop, but Unraid opens a Firefox window going to the server's IP and it won't connect. Here's what I've tried: Rebooting Switching Ethernet cables Switching ports on my router/ switch Remaking my USB and copying over the config folder Deleting the Network files from the config folder Unplugging all the drives Remaking the USB again Plugging the USB into multiple USB 2 (and 3) ports Making a deal with the devil More stuff I've probably forgotten Anyone have any insight into this? I'm attaching the diagnostics zip if there's anything useful in there. graveyard-diagnostics-20231128-1916.zip Quote Link to comment

I noticed that USE_SSL was set to no in the config file. Would that affect this? I also tried booting into safe mode with GUI but it left me with the blinking cursor and non-reponsive. Strangely when I hit the powerbutton it printed the graceful shutdown text all the way through. Thanks for helping out Jorge Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Try booting in safe mode without the GUI and post new diags. Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Everything looks normal to me, doesn't the link below get you to the GUI? http://192.168.50.217 Quote Link to comment
SPNKr Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 Unfortunately no dice, I left it running in Safe Mode for almost half an hour and was still unable to connect to it in case something was initializing slowly. I also went ahead and rebooted all of the networking stuff in my house (modem, router, etc). I did notice that windows is able to detect the server on my network, but says there's nothing on the server when I click on it. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Have you tried connecting to http://192.168.50.217 which from the diagnostics looks like the IP address of your server? 4 hours ago, SPNKr said: I did notice that windows is able to detect the server on my network, but says there's nothing on the server when I click on it. This would be because the array is not set to auto-start so until you get into the GUI to start it that is expected behavioyt. Quote Link to comment
SPNKr Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 Yeah, I've tried going through the direct IP. I'm noticing now that this started on the same day as 6.12.5 coming out. I don't remember updating, but I might have. I can't think of anything that would affect this on the router level, but is there anything you can think of that I might be missing? Thanks for tagging in to help with this. I feel like I'm losing my mind Quote Link to comment

You could try reverting to your previous release by copying the contents of the ‘Previous’ folder on the flash drive back to the top level, or by using the process described here in the online documentation to see if that solves the issue.

Just rolled back to 6.12.4 and no GUI. Quote Link to comment

The next steps would be to put an 'clean' install of Unraid onto another USB (no licence needed) to see if that loads indicating something in your configuration. You could try this for both the 6.12.4 and 6.12.5 releases. Quote Link to comment

You could try this for both the 6.12.4 and 6.12.5 releases. Built a new USB and the server responds with GUI on the Trial version. I'm guessing now the solution is to move the license to the new USB, and look into moving the Array setup and docker configurations over. (Please tell me moving Docker over is possible because if it's not I'm going to cry) Edited December 2, 2023 by SPNKr Quote Link to comment
Solution SPNKr Posted December 4, 2023 Author Solution Share Posted December 4, 2023 Going to go ahead and mark this as solved even though we never really figured out what happened. I was able to get the server re-set up by creating a new Unraid USB and loading my old drives back into the server. The migration seems to have worked flawlessly (still waiting for the parity rebuild to finish up), and I didn't expect my docker containers to copy over but they did. So that's nice. Thanks to Jorge and itimpi for helping out! 1 Quote Link to comment
