unMENU 1.6 - now available (A major upgrade in appearance)

[dgaschk]

Yes. But why does power down fail as well?

 

/tmp/unmenu_tmp/powerdown-1.02_ctlaltdel-unmenu-package.conf not installed

It appears this file no longer exists in the unmenu repository.  When I run the update I get the same error and the downloaded file is zero bytes.

I'll try to fix these this weekend.

Thanks Joe, your help is always appreciated.

I'm still not able to pull SMART reports even after upgrading to the latest unMENU version. MyMain SMART reports work fine. Ideas?

The problem is that other things are broken because of it, but mostly the temperature related plugins. I can't find anything in the syslog that jumps out, though I don't really know what to look for.

This is the error:

I'm working on getting unmenu installed right now and trying to figure out which packages. Is there a package for fan speed control. I'll be installing PWM fans but would like to automate the cage fans based on drive temps.

Can't get the DS Store cleanup pkg to install. I keep getting this error-

ds_store_cleanup installation:
ds_store_cleanup apparently did not install properly, /var/log/ds_store_cleanup does not exist.

Am I doing something wrong?

Looks like it's missing maybe. url=none. Same for monthly_parity_check. Have they been replaced by something else?

does /var/log exist?

type

ls -ld /var/log

to see if it does.

Go to my last post regarding ds_store_cleanup if 32 bit v5. Download and replace. Tell me if it works.

Can I just manually copy the files to the flash?

[Thornwood]

Yes or you can do it through the network if you set it to share.

[Thornwood]

On updates will I need to do the unmenu.conf again? Or should it stick?

 

 

Thornwood

To keep it from being updated, add another line in it (anywhere)

#AUTO_UPDATE = NO

with the #

?

yes. With the "#" as the first character.

I was looking at adding this also, but I don't understand adding a commented line. If commented lines are ignored by the software how does this have any effect? Wouldn't the software just continue to use whatever the default setting is?

[Thornwood]

Not if you have a script looking specifically for the line with the # included. Like the update script.

Ok. Thanks. Seems backwards, but I'm sure there was some reason for it.

[wgstarks]

I can't be sure from the post? Are there spaces beside the = sign? I didn't really worry about it when I added the line to my conf file, but now I think maybe I should have.

It will work either way.  With or without spaces.

i modified unmenu.conf to set host name-

# Unmenu will discover for itself your host name, but if you wish to set it yourself, or
# your host name is not set, then set the value of MyHost here.
MyHost = 10.0.1.20

Saved the change and restarted unmenu, but unmenu continues to use the previous host name.

example-  http://brunnhilde:8080/config_view_edit

 

Is there something else I need to do to get unmenu to use IP instead of name?

how did you re-start unmenu?

 

What editor did you use to edit the file?

I used config view edit to edit the file and save it and then used the user script to restart unmenu.
