Cant find drives & cant see gui on monitor....


Recommended Posts

Im at a loss guys.  Unraid has been working amazingly well for years and after this last string up upgrades and having to upgrade a couple of drives ive been having so many issues.

 

1) I've recently upgraded to 2 refurb 12tb hdds which were swapped to be the 2 parity drives.  Things were going reasonably okay and were running.  At one point in the process 1 of the 12tb wasnt able to be located so I changed some wires around and it worked find.  I had to change cases to support the additional drives so things werent just hanging out on the ouside of the case.  Now its currently happening again with both drives.  So both 12tb drives are unable to be found by unraid.  They appear when I put them on an external usb attachment as an unassigned drive.  

 

2) gui issue.  When i powerup the server on the screen i see the bios then unraid opens and asks how to boot so I select GUI mode.  Once its finished booting I used to get a login screen and then the main page but now it just goes to a blinking cursor after it finishes booting.  Im able to log in remotely on another PC

Sorry, they are usually at the bottom of the post, missed them at the top.

 

Is this the GPU you have the monitor connected to?

Yes connect via display port. So i need an older driver?

 

 

 

It was working before without any drivers installed.

Looks like it, @ich777should be able to confirm if that driver is still available, or re-post in the Nvidia plugin support thread.

Already answered in the Nvidia Driver support thread, this card is basically obsolete and even the legacy driver won't work on Unraid.

I'll do that tonight working on somethings atm.  But a week ago i didnt have any drivers/plugins and things were fine.  I only started looking into drivers when I noticed this issue started happening.  And everything was fine before.  I was able to see the bios/unraid boot menu/and unraid login and main screen.  I dont know what changed....

The driver does execute nvidia-xconfig on boot and that's may why you won't get a blinking cursor but why did you install the Nvidia driver it in the first place?

Because I was getting the blinking cursor. 

 

Before that I would boot to unraid GUI and it was fine (albeit not the best resolution for the monitor but working).  Then after the above upgrades to parity drives it started booting to this blinking cursor.

@ich777@JorgeBany other thoughts? 

 

-The graphics driver is only if I wanted to run a vm or transcode with it right? So I wouldnt need a driver at all?

-I dont understand how it was working fine before and now all of a sudden doesnt work lol

-Can I just pop the unraid usb into my main pc and boot it from there and see what happens with different hardware? Or is that a bad idea?

I don't think that this is the /var/log directory from your server, it seems more likely that you are using Krusader from binhex and you are in the containers /var/log directory.

 

I see nothing suspicious from your logs however may I ask why you are still on Unraid 6.12.6?

Unraid 6.12.9 was released a few days ago.

Thought it was an unwritten rule in the community to wait a week before updating XD.

 

I'll update and report back in.  I'll also try to find that file you requested.....
