Jasonmccullar Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Hi, I have been running UNRAID for about 30 days now. GREAT product, should have done this years ago. I am down to working out little gremlins and I have one that is odd to me. on Unraid box, I have a monitor/keyboard/mouse plugged up. Upon booting or rebooting works great. after a time the monitor keyboard mouse go into "sleep" mode. Nothing I have tried thus far will wake it back up. ( typically wiggle mouse, hit a key on keyboard, etc...) Its not a huge problem, but it seems odd that I cannot go over to the server and use the command line directly without a reboot of the system. Anyone got thoughts on this? Thanks for your time. Jason Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 That's odd since AFAIK Unraid doesn't sleep keyboards or mouse, grab the diagnostics once that happens. Quote Link to comment
Jasonmccullar Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 ok so keyboard & mouse stay active. Cool. It must be the monitor. It is an old Dell 24in VGA. Keep jumping into power save mode, so I assume server isn't sending a wake-up to the monitor. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 See if adding setterm -blank 0 to /boot/config/go and rebooting helps. Quote Link to comment
Jasonmccullar Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 do you know what the text editor in unraid is? If there isnt one, would you suggest one to add? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Jasonmccullar Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 (edited) im also going to check out the GUI since i'm clowning around under the hood. Edited January 19 by Jasonmccullar Quote Link to comment

Jasonmccullar Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 (edited) I used Vi to add the line from the main terminal. Talk about old school archaic...LOL.. I had to google how to exit save....LOL " : then x " would have never guessed that one. Thanks for the Dynamix File Manager plugin comment itimpi. That is a good feature to add. However, I was not able to see the root and as such, not able to navigate to the /boot/config/go file. I assume it is simply because that data is on the USB stick and I do not know the command to get to that yet. so to update the thread... "setterm -blank 0" added to go file in /boot/config. System rebooted successfully. Now we will wait to see it solved. Thanks for all the help. Ill return in a while to let you know if it solved the issue.

Jasonmccullar Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 Update... The fix worked, as the screen no longer goes into sleep mode period. LOL. That's one way to curb stomp it. Any further thoughts on awaking a sleeping screen besides an "always on" option? If not, hey at least its fixed for the time being. Thanks again for the prompt help. Appreciated. Regarding Dynamix. The drives are there but not the USB stick. I attached a pic for simplicity. If there is a way to expose the root of the system to Dynamix, I would like to know how to do that. There are some tweaks I would like to research on the underlying OS in the future. Jason Quote Link to comment
Jasonmccullar Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 maybe I have to add/change SMB permissions on the USB stick 1st??? Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 As I said have you gone to the ‘Boot Device” section of the Main tab? The screenshot is only the ‘Array Devices’ section of the Main tab. Quote Link to comment
Jasonmccullar Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 i did try boot device then clicked on file manager... that was the result (attached screenshot) I wonder if I have to add SMB permissions to see it listed? ill try it. Quote Link to comment
Jasonmccullar Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 nope that didn't work. Not a big deal I can use the terminal on the main tower if needed. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Not quite sure why it is not working for you? I click on the leftmost icon for the flash device and it takes me into a view showing the folders and files on the flash device. When I navigate to the config folder and click on the ‘go’ file it opens it up for editing. Quote Link to comment
Jasonmccullar Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 aha...left most icon.... sweet thats how that works. Yes I see it now. Thanks itimpi. Learned something new today. Quote Link to comment
