April 12, 201214 yr I have Googled, read Wiki's, and searched this forum trying to find an answer for this, but I was not successful. I apologize if this was already asked and dealt with. However, I am new to unRaid, and I want to start installing addons on my server. I've tried doing this via unMenu pkgmanager, but it won't install. I get an error stating the file is corrupted or doesn't match. I can download the package though, and I can see it under the packages folder in the flash drive. I've connected a monitor and keyboard to my unRaid server. I want to know what are the commands to manually install any of the addons if I've got any of the package .tgz files in the flash drive package folder. Also, what are the commands if any to uninstall the addon. Thank you for your help.
April 12, 201214 yr If the tgz file is in the packages directory unmenu should verify the file and allow configuration and installation.
April 13, 201214 yr Author If the tgz file is in the packages directory unmenu should verify the file and allow configuration and installation. Nope, it doesn't. That's why I am here asking how can I do it manually from either telnet or directly from my server. I logged into web gui unmenue, and went to pkg manager. I wanted to download / install bwm-ng-0.6-i486-2bj.tgz, and it is not on the list. However, I went in to my server flash drive, packages folder, and it is in there.
April 13, 201214 yr Author Is unMenu up to date? Check the User Scripts tab. I went to user scripts, clicked on check for unmenu updates, and I got: Unable to connect to googlecode.com from your server. You must have a DNS Nameserver and Gateway defined in your unRAID setup before you can continue.. For most people, these are both set to the IP address of your router.

April 13, 201214 yr Set Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically to Yes Is there a reason that Obtain IP Address Automatically is not set to Yes? EDIT: I just realized that you can't Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically if Obtain IP Address Automatically is set to not. You can enter 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS servers. Why not set all of this to automatic?
April 13, 201214 yr Author Set Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically to Yes Is there a reason that Obtain IP Address Automatically is not set to Yes? I've got the 172.16.0.3 address reserved for the server. So, I didn't think that it is necessary to have the "Obtain IP Address Automatically set to Yes. Also, I can't change the DNS option to Yes, it won't let me. I looked into the config/network file, and it is set up to this: # Generated network settings USE_DHCP=no IPADDR=172.16.0.3 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=172.16.0.1 MTU= If I remember correctly there was another line for DNS, which is missing, but I can't remember what it was.

April 13, 201214 yr Author By making those changes, I was able to update unmenu, and thereafter I was able to install bwm. Thanks. It seems there is a a light at the end of the tunnel lol. I re-started my server, and now it says finding 10979 errors...I was running a parity check before, and I stopped it to reboot the server. I am going to run the parity check with fix error, and see if that fixes the errors. Thanks for your help. One issues down, two more to go.

It's probably better to try to find out what type of errors they are prior to try to fixing them.
April 13, 201214 yr Most routers allow a a permanent DHCP reservations. Make the reservation in the router and leave the settings on the server set to automatic. Connect to the routers web GUI and look for Static Leases or statically assigned IP address. This is easier than getting all of the settings on the server correct. If a static reservation on the server is required then configure the settings using the unRAID GUI. There is no reason to edit the config/network file. Enter these values in the Network Settings: Obtain IP Address Automatically: No IP Address: 172.16.0.3 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 172.16.0.1 Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically: No DNS Server 1: 172.16.0.1 DNS Server 2: If the Gateway is not a DNS proxy then use these settings: DNS Server 1: 8.8.8.8 DNS Server 2: 8.8.4.4
April 13, 201214 yr Glad it's working. I suggest the you connect to your router and make the reservation for the server static. This is only a single configuration item in the router versus 5 configuration items on the server. Start a new thread to discuss the parity errors.

Thank you dgaschk, I will leave it to auto right now. My router had 5 assigned IP addresses for my devices. If and only if, I start getting issues again, I will try to do the setting you've given me in the other post. I am ripping a new movie right now, and I will test the transfer speed. I used to get 30 to 45 MP/s before, and now I'm lucky to get 21 MB/s. Hopefully the new settings will fix this issue.
April 13, 201214 yr The speed issue is likely caused by whatever is causing parity problems. Post a current syslog. Since your transferring data to the problem may be revealed in the syslog. Systems generally sustain rates below 30 without a cache drive.

April 13, 201214 yr Post the Network Settings values found in the unRAID web GUI under the Settings tab. unRAID web GUI-->Settings tab-->Network Settings. Cut and paste or post a screen shot.

Most people find it can be set to the IP address of their router. (172.16.0.1 in your case) It can also be set directly to a nameserver (8.8.8.8 as already suggested in the prior post)

I've changed the settings to auto under unmenu network. Also my config/network file is unde DCHP: Yes, rather than having No, and IP manual. I am letting my router assign the IP's to my devices, so my unraid server will stay at 172.16.0.3. I am able to install the addons. So, far I've installed bwn only. I am waiting for the parity check to be complete. I am concern with the Tower kernel: NTFS driver 2.1.29 [Flags: R/O MODULE] error. I've opened another thread for that issue. I only got today off. So, I am hoping I can finish fixing whatever issues I've got the server....plus my wife decided to paint the living room....and guess who is doing it lol.
April 13, 201214 yr Author I was trying to install the power down script and this is what I get? powerdown-1.02-noarch-unRAID.tgz installation: Verifying package powerdown-1.02-noarch-unRAID.tgz. gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file Installing package powerdown-1.02-noarch-unRAID.tgz: PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: WARNING: Package has not been created with 'makepkg' Package powerdown-1.02-noarch-unRAID.tgz installed. kernel.poweroff_cmd = /sbin/powerdown powerdown-1.02-noarch-unRAID.tgz apparently did not install properly, /etc/rc.d/rc.unRAID does not exist.

April 13, 201214 yr Author I don't know how or why, but I got the Clean Power down script installed. This is what I did. I found a wiki for the power down script with a download script. I downloaded it, and replaced the one from the boot/packages with it. I telent to my server the following: installpkg /boot/packages/powerdown-1.02-noarch-unRAID.tgz and got install: missing destination file operand after '/boot/packages/powerdown-1.02-noarch-unRAID.tgz and got "Try "install --help" for more information. I then proceeded to go to unmenu package, press download, and it stated that it matched the md5 checksum, and I was able to install it. Weird!
