Readding missing unmenu packages and basic linux advice.

[squarefrog]

Hi there! I've been trying out unRAID, and I like it. I have a couple of questions however. I know just enough linux commands to be dangerous, but not enough to fix my mistakes

 

1) I installed MySQL through unmenu then decided I wouldn't use it on my N40L. I couldn't find instructions for removing it, so I stopped it and rm'd the packages in the /unmenu/ folder. This worked great, however the option to reinstall through unmenu is now gone. I cant see any reference to MySQL so I guess I must have deleted too much. Any way to get it back?

 

2) When using telnet to cp files, the owner and group are always set to root (as I am logged in as root). Anyway to switch user to something less potentially destructive? 

 

3) I'm experiencing incredibly slow performance, even with parity off. It takes about 2m 20s to transfer 1GB. Which if my math is correct is about 7.6MB/s. Anyone with an N40L that can chime in on roughly what speeds to expect? I'm going to test the cable later as I think its to do with that.

1) Click on "Check for unMenu Updates" under User Scripts.

2) Not using 4.7. On 5.0, enter "su - nobody --shell=usr/bin/bash" after logging in as root to preserve correct permissions.

3) It sounds like there is a 100Mbps link in the path.

Thanks for the reply

 

1) I'll give that a go

 

2) I've been fixing it with "New Permissions" which works great, but being logged in as root worries me a bit. I'll give that a go

 

3) Yep, the long cable i've used seems to only support 100Mbps as I just varified with ethtool eth0. Another wonderful function I've just discovered!
