  • EDIT: Nerdtools is now available as a replacement, you might want to check that first: Some tools like iperf3 and perl are now included in the base unraid release, hence them not being present i

  • Lol, are we going to petition the willy wonka company to change the name of their candy too?  I guess its not a big deal to change the name, I just have to laugh at the thought of someone honestly bei

  • Reason why it's not marked as being incompatible and it hasn't been said point blank that it's going to disappear is because the deadline for this to happen is when 6.11 stable is released.

crossing the fingers on every update that hopefully Slackware and unRaid are not too different from each other, feels like you are back in the days of unRaid 5.

 

To be fair the reason for Nerdpack being removed is that the whole point of it was for its maintainers to do this for you, but hasn't done so for more than a year leaving you worse off than doing it yourself / not at all...

I'm on 6.11 now -- didn't realize NerdPack wasn't compatible until after I upgraded. How can I see which NerdPack plugins I had installed? 

 

When I look in Flash > /boot/config, I see three plugins folders: 

plugins
plugins-error
plugins-removed

Look in plugins/Nerdpack and open the NerdPack.cfg file in a text editor.  Anything with a "yes" is a package you were loading via the Nerd Pack.

 

For example:

ipmitool-1_8_18="yes"

So i go to https://slackware.pkgs.org/15.0/slackware-x86_64/python2-2.7.18-x86_64-4.txz.html how do i actually download the package, i download it buts a .rar file is this the file i put in the the flash drive folder ???? 

 

Use the existing plugins for Python 2 and 3 that others have already made. Same for IPMITools if you need that. Search for them using Community Applications.

Hi, I  need help RE: nerdpack. I'm still at 6.10.3 and hesitatnt to move to 6.11.0 because of the whole nerd thing issue.

 

I don't remember why I installed nerdpack (likely SpaceinvaderOne videos).

Here is an image of those that are installed (attachement). Here are my questions:

  1. Do I need these, or can I simply remove nerd package and upgrade to 6.11.0?
  2. If I do need them, how do I find out which dockers are using them?
  3. If I do need them, what do I do to replace them.
  4. When I execute in UNRAID cml: grep yes /boot/config/plugins/NerdPack/NerdPack.cfg,
    1. I get JUST one entry: perl-5_32_0="yes"
    2. Is this package available as standalone in 6.11.0? (I don't see it in Apps store on 6.10.3)

 

Thank you.

Answered to your other post on the Announcement thread.

How to see which packages were installed? 

 

I've upgraded, but didn't know this one would be outdated. Is there any log of the previous packages that were installed so I can add them to the /boot/extra list. 

 

Btw, is the /boot/packages replaced by /boot/extra?

 

Edit: just found out that /boot/packages was from the dmacias72 plugins. So that's my answer to both questions

NerdPack plugin did not get uninstalled after booting into v6.11 first time. Should we just manually uninstall the plugin?

That’s what I did. Uninstalled in the Plugins tab. It was listed as Nerd Tools.

Must not have been, since the instructions won't result in any of those "plugins" lines

ok 🙂

I am confused.

Someone should probably EDIT the first post of this thread to point to the latest news about this plugin, its fate, how to manually achieve the same effect, instead of browsing through so many pages.

 

I for would love an updated version of nerdpack, as it made some things much easier.

There's a green "recommended" post that shows up on top of each page.

This is all unfortunate, no notice given in the unraid UI and the plugin wasn't disabled/removed. But thanks to the pinned message and helpful replies I think I have everything sorted.

 

Thank you for attaching ipmi tool as I wasn't able to find it in the search of the linked packages web site.

 

I also managed to download an install 7zip, which required searching for "p7zip" as "7zip" found nothing (each without quotes).

 

I was also unaware of Nerdpack not being supported anymore, and didn't see this until after upgrading to UnRaid 6.11.0 (which fortunately went smoothly).

 

I was using Nerdpack for fan speed monitoring and the screen application.  After updating I received a notification from FixCommonProblems that Nerdpack was incompatible (!!).  So, I uninstalled it. Fortunately no impact seen to fan speed monitoring, but of course the screen program is now gone.  :( 

 

I thought about it a bit and don't use screen much, so not sure if I am going to bother installing that.  Would be appreciated for Limetech to inform their users of these major changes in the release notes... 😼

If you want LT to see this then this thread probably isn’t the best place. Maybe a feature request. List deprecated plugins in the release notes or something like that. Or possibly there may already be one that you could add your vote to.

Thanks!  I posted it.

Does someone know where to get a Slackware package for rmlint : it's a great CLI tool to get a list of duplicates - and remove them.
It's one of the 3 programs I was using through NerdPack - along with iperf3 and iotop.

There is a community app for it.
