April 20, 201412 yr Author tomf, Do you by chance have a guide for sabnzbd? on 14.04 it's easy just do this sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus sudo nano /etc/default/sabnzbdplus change host, port and user sudo service sabnzbdplus start //Peter //Peter Does it start on boot? Or do you have to start it manually?
April 20, 201412 yr Thank you peter-sm You are correct, it's easy! I had tried that last night and couldn't get it working because I forgot to set the host, port, or user. tomf, yes I just tested and sabnzbd is started on boot * Restoring resolver state... [ OK ] * Starting SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber [ OK ] * Stopping System V runlevel compatibility [ OK ] Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ubuntu-vm hvc0 ubuntu-vm login: You could also stop it by sudo service sabnzbdplus stop

Keep 'm coming
April 20, 201412 yr I like to see OpenVPN (PIA), Plex ,Air-Video, plexconnect .... bit I'm working on some right now I also manage to get autofs (NFS) working, but I do not have any guide, I just googling a lot ;-9 But I'm not using XEN, instead KVM, works great with WOL :-) but that is another case to install ;-) //Peter
April 20, 201412 yr Author Did you get protected/private shares to work with autofs? If so, can write a guide for this? I'm very curious. Also I have plex in the guide or do you mean the front end?
April 21, 201412 yr I installed the 14.04 with Ubuntu Desktop and Essential - after starting the Ubuntu VM from //Tower/ Gui I am greeted with a console ubuntu login. How the heck do I START the desktop? using sudo startx results in: Fatal server error: (EE) no screens found(EE) xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/chris/.Xauthority Thanks!
April 22, 201412 yr You can't start the desktop on the unraid machine unless you pass through a gpu. You have to remote desktop in
April 22, 201412 yr Easiest way is to install the xrdp package in ubuntu. Then remote desktop into its ip address using your ubunti credentials. Easy as pie
April 24, 201412 yr I got pretty much everything working up until this point Code: [select] sudo nano etc/rc.local Paste the following Code: [select] mount /media/Movies mount /media/TV Once I try to save and exit it says "Error writing etc/rc.local: No such file or directory" I am not sure how to proceed.
April 24, 201412 yr It's a typo in the instructions. Should be sudo nano /etc/rc.local You need the forward slash before the etc.
April 24, 201412 yr Author It's a typo in the instructions. Should be sudo nano /etc/rc.local You need the forward slash before the etc. Thanks, updated the guide.
April 24, 201412 yr I cannot seem to get the Ubuntu icon to display under Xen domain. I downloaded a file in /boot/config/domains and renamed it to icon.png. What am I doing wrong? Also, how does unRAID know that "icon.png" should display with the Ubuntu VM? What happens if you have two VM's registered (do you call one icon2.png)? P.S. This guide is awesome! I just finished with the Ubuntu part of the guide and everything seems to be working great! Although, until I get the most important piece working (the pretty Ubuntu icon) all will have been for nothing
April 24, 201412 yr I cannot seem to get the Ubuntu icon to display under Xen domain. I downloaded a file and renamed it to icon.png. What am I doing wrong? Also, how does unRAID know that "icon.png" should display with the Ubuntu VM? What happens if you have two VM's registered (do you call one icon2.png)? I had the same problem. I ended copying it to :config/domains/<domainname>.png Here is an excerpt from the first post in the B4 announcement thread: "In addition if xenman finds an icon file in the directory that contains your xen configfile, it will copy it to "config/domains/archVM.png". The name of the icon file in the domain directory can be either "icon.png" or "<domname>.png" ("archVM.png" in our example)."
April 25, 201412 yr For some reason it seems that "/etc/rc.local" is not loading at boot. The reason I am saying this is when the server does a reboot it does not load my mount. I have to type sudo mount /media/TV and then it mounts. Any ideas on what I have messed up?
April 25, 201412 yr I have been trying attempting varoius things to get /ect/rc.loal to start at boot but I it still is not working. If I type "sudo /etc/init.d/rc.local start" after a reboot the mount command works just fine and then connects to my mounts. Here is the contents of the rc.local file: #!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. mount /media/downloads exit 0
April 25, 201412 yr so for what's it worth, I re-installed ubuntu server to 14.04 and used the same settings and now my mounts start at boot
April 28, 201412 yr Thanks for this guide!! I have downloaded the 14.04 LTS files, which seemed to work fine, and have followed the guide successfully to this point... Make our mounting points sudo mkdir /media/Movies sudo mkdir /media/TV I want to be sure what this does exactly, so that I can be sure it matches my current unRAID setup. Your settings both start with /media/, but it seems like your guide refers to "Tower" as the server name, so I'm not sure if media is a share on your unRAID, and Movies and TV are subfolders of that share, or what exactly you're doing above. First, my server is called "media", not "Tower", for what it's worth in figuring the settings. Next, I assume your Movies & TV are just examples, but how should I amend to match my actual setup? I have shares called... backup documents music photos video located at /mnt/user/... How does this tie into the mounting points settings above? I assume I want something like sudo mkdir /backup sudo mkdir /documents sudo mkdir /music sudo mkdir /photos sudo mkdir /video but I want to make sure before I proceed. Later you say, in regards to Editing fstab so we can connect the mounts on boot... Edit and paste the following //Tower/Movies /media/Movies cifs noauto,credentials=/home/ubuntuUser/.smbcredentials,noperm,noserverino,uid=nobody,gid=users 0 0 //Tower/TV /media/TV cifs noauto,credentials=/home/ubuntuUser/.smbcredentials,noperm,noserverino,uid=nobody,gid=users 0 0 You're pointing what I assume are you shares Movies & TV to the directories you created above, but are Movies and TV the base share names on you unRAID server (i.e. /mnt/user/Movie & /mnt/user/TV). Assuming so, why point them to a /media/ subdirectory in ubuntu? Again, just trying to understand, so I do it right the first time. Thanks again.
April 28, 201412 yr I think he is mounting his unraid shares to the Ubuntu folder /media/TV and /media/movies. You can create the mountpoints wherever you want, I think most users are just accustomed to mount media in /media But I am still a Linux novice as well :-)
April 28, 201412 yr Thanks. I just did unraid@ubuntuVM:~$ sudo mkdir /backup unraid@ubuntuVM:~$ sudo mkdir /documents unraid@ubuntuVM:~$ sudo mkdir /music unraid@ubuntuVM:~$ sudo mkdir /photos unraid@ubuntuVM:~$ sudo mkdir /video then unraid@ubuntuVM:~$ sudo nano /etc/fstab... //media/backup /backup cifs noauto,credentials=/home/unraid/.smbcredentials,nop$ //media/documents /documents cifs noauto,credentials=/home/unraid/.smbcredentia$ //media/music /music cifs noauto,credentials=/home/unraid/.smbcredentials,nop$ //media/photos /photos cifs noauto,credentials=/home/unraid/.smbcredentials,nop$ //media/video /video cifs noauto,credentials=/home/unraid/.smbcredentials,nop$ but it looks like it didn't paste the whole line in fstab, so I'll have to try again. Also, further down it has me enter my username and password. is this expected to be the username and pw of the ubuntu account I created upon install, or one that has actual permissions to my shares in unRAID?
April 29, 201412 yr Thanks. I just did unraid@ubuntuVM:~$ sudo mkdir /backup unraid@ubuntuVM:~$ sudo mkdir /documents unraid@ubuntuVM:~$ sudo mkdir /music unraid@ubuntuVM:~$ sudo mkdir /photos unraid@ubuntuVM:~$ sudo mkdir /video then unraid@ubuntuVM:~$ sudo nano /etc/fstab... //media/backup /backup cifs noauto,credentials=/home/unraid/.smbcredentials,nop$ //media/documents /documents cifs noauto,credentials=/home/unraid/.smbcredentia$ //media/music /music cifs noauto,credentials=/home/unraid/.smbcredentials,nop$ //media/photos /photos cifs noauto,credentials=/home/unraid/.smbcredentials,nop$ //media/video /video cifs noauto,credentials=/home/unraid/.smbcredentials,nop$ but it looks like it didn't paste the whole line in fstab, so I'll have to try again.

NOO! Please dont mount stuff in root ( / ) I and anyone else would be greatfull if you do your mounting in a fitting subdirectory i.e. /mnt/backup /mnt/music or /media/music /media/backup
April 29, 201412 yr so instead of //media/backup /backup cifs noauto... I should do something like //media/backup /unRAID/backup cifs noauto... just something (unRAID or something else) to move it out of root, correct? anything else look wrong with what I've done?
April 29, 201412 yr Author so instead of //media/backup /backup cifs noauto... I should do something like //media/backup /unRAID/backup cifs noauto... just something (unRAID or something else) to move it out of root, correct? anything else look wrong with what I've done? I don't understand why your making things so difficult... The purpose of the media dir is to hold media mounts. Not only media as tv or movies but all kinds of data carriers. If you choose to go another way, fine! But dont spam this topic with slow chat that it doesnt work. The reasson I'm getting a bit irritated is because your not taking any initiative to solve it yourself. So please follow the guide, we are not your personal assistents. https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/installation-guide/powerpc/directory-tree.html https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
