Joe L. Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Apparently unMENU is not compatible with V6.1-rc3. Any fixes in the works? I still find unMENU useful when the unRaid gui is not accessible. Thanks. Which is why I will NOT be upgrading to 6.1 unless this is made compatible or the features from this that I use are put into the unRAID GUI. We have the basic chicken vs. egg issue here. I do not typically upgrade my server to the latest version until it is out for a few days. Therefore, I have no way to test or make changes to unMENU. From what I've read, the /root/mdcmd shell command no longer exists. unMENU uses it to get the status of the array. /root/mdcmd was just a interface to /proc/mdcmd. You could try putting it back into place and see if everything starts working once more You can re-create it by typing: echo 'if [ $1 == "status" ]; then' > /root/mdcmd echo ' cat /proc/mdcmd' >> /root/mdcmd echo ' else' >> /root/mdcmd echo ' echo $* >/proc/mdcmd' >> /root/mdcmd echo 'fi' >> /root/mdcmd chmod 755 /root/mdcmd Quote Link to comment

I was just looking at this too and see you responded. I was thinking to create a file called /root/mdcmd that looks like: #!/bin/bash /usr/local/sbin/mdcmd $* That work also? If so, there should be a command in the go file that if /root/mdcmd does not exist, to create that file. This would allow for the mdcmd command to be updated in a future release (not sure if ever would). Anyway, just my $0.02. Quote Link to comment

They wanted a list of things I use from unMENU so I gave it to them in another thread. Right now with some of the reported bugs I wouldn't want to upgrade to the 6.1RC's anyway although RC5 only has one reported problem and easily fixed so would be a possibility. But without the items I want in the GUI I don't see a reason to upgrade yet. Quote Link to comment

Joe L. Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thanks Joe => it's nice the fix is so simple ... despite all the newer "stuff" I still don't want to be without UnMenu You are welcome. If you think about it, much of the newer (now native) features were originally implemented in unMENU, and unMENU was originally created to explore alternative and improved user-interfaces to unRAID. It has done exactly what it was created for. I am happy that it still offers substantial value after all these years. No, unMENU does not offer "docker" or "virtual server" features... but it certainly holds its own with almost everything else. (unRAID itself does not yet allow you to choose a vertical vs. horizontal menu bar... they still have some catching up to do) Quote Link to comment
X1pheR Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Maybe make unmenu install as a plugin so it's even easier available for people wit also the fix included. Quote Link to comment
mifronte Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I just upgraded from unRAID V5.0.5 to V6.0.1. I have tried going a week without unMENU since unRAID V6 webgui is supposed to provide most of unMENU natively. Well, after a week, I find myself looking to install unMENU again! I don't know how anyone can say the unRAID webgui has replaced most of unMENU. Two features I use the most is the ability to customize myMain and ability to manage unassigned devices. Edit: Is this anything to be concerned about? Can I do something so these messages don't appear?

mifronte Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I just upgraded to unRAID V6.1.0 and added the link command for mdcmd. However I have two problems: 1. unMenu is unaware of my devices sdaa and sdab. It looks like it never accounted for devices to go beyond sdz? 2.

lakerk Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I'm a new unraid user who just built his first server. I want to preclear but I cant seem to get the pkg manager in unmenu to install anything. Wiki instructions say: Step 5 Click Download screen-4.03-i486-1.tgz. The status will change to "Package downloaded, but not yet installed". Step 6 Click Install screen-4.03-i486-1.tgz. You will see a report of the commands run and the status will change to "screen-4.0.3-i486-1.tgz is now installed". But there isn't an option to click "Download screen.."

jbuszkie Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Where is UnMenu going to live after the google code shutdown thing? Is there an updated place to get it? Is there an update guide going from V5 to V6 of UnRaid? Quote Link to comment
bkastner Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Where is UnMenu going to live after the google code shutdown thing? Is there an updated place to get it? Is there an update guide going from V5 to V6 of UnRaid? In version 6 there is really no need for UnMenu (at least that I can see). The options available in the standard GUI, and with the Dynamix addins far exceed with UnMenu is able to provide (and is way more visually appealing). Also, with move to Dockers instead of plugins it's eliminated that benefit that UnMenu used to provide there as well. I was a die-hard UnMenu fan in version 5, and even the early version 6 betas, however as the version 6 capabilities grew I tried moving away and never looked back. I think this is true for many users. For those on version 5 there is still no better option than UnMenu. For those moving to version 6, I would suggest working with the options natively available, and see if there is anything you miss from UnMenu. Chances are there won't be, but if there is, then I would suggest submitting a request for the Dynamix team to add. Overall I think you will be pleasantly surprised as what you can do with just UnRAID today - I know I certainly was. Quote Link to comment
