6.0-beta14b GUI unresponsive

Featured Replies

Is there any way to restart emhttp yet?  GUI has gone unresponsive and top shows it using 100% of a CPU.

 

This is on my second server which has no plugins of any kind.

Not as far as I know unfortunately.

No, restarting the GUI from command line isn't supported.  The big question is why it became unresponsive to begin with.

 

First and foremost, what plugins do you have installed?

Just for clarity I was referring to the OP's original question, as a matter of looking for an answer to solve their specific issue. The OP doesn't have any plugins installed on his second unRAID. It is good to know since I wasn't aware or had forgotten altogether that restarting the GUI from the command line wasn't supported. However I tested the first command (killall emhttp) and it does shut it down. Thanks.

No plugins,  can still telnet to the box,  SMB is still working....  Not aware I was doing anything.  Mover was running and there is a parity check running also.  Also I have configured notifications via email.

 

EDIT : This box runs Xen also...

Can you run htop from command line and then search for emhttp and take a screenshot of what you find?

I have the same issue as Chris. Since upgrading to from 5.06 to 6.12 and now 6.14b the GUI frequently becomes unresponsive. Everything else appears to work as normal (telnet, access to shares etc.)

 

The only other frequent issue since upgrading is sporadic slow writes to the cache drive. Used to get 60-80 Mbs on 5.06 and now often only get 10 - 11. Occasionally it pops back up to 50-60 but then drops back to 10-11 again, apparently for no reason.

 

I am not running any plugins and have not changed anything on my system other than upgrading Unraid

Sorry Chris, should have asked you to put it into tree view (look at bottom of screen to see the function key to press for this).

Could you try going under display preferences and try setting the page update frequency at the bottom to disabled?  Curious if this solves your issue or not.

Chris. Assuming you are in Xen mode. Can you share your syslinux configuration with me?  You can copy and paste this from under the flash device settings page (click the word flash on the main tab under boot device).

GUI is broken ;)

 

Here you go :-

 

default /syslinux/menu.c32
menu title Lime Technology
prompt 0
timeout 50
label unRAID OS
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot
label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins)
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode
label Memtest86+
  kernel /memtest
label Xen/unRAID OS
  menu default
  kernel /syslinux/mboot.c32
  append /xen --- /bzimage --- /bzroot
label Xen/unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins)
  kernel /syslinux/mboot.c32
  append /xen --- /bzimage --- /bzroot unraidsafemode

 

I'm selecting Xen/unRAID OS

Ok, so you aren't binding any memory to dom0.  How much memory do you have on this system and how much allocated to VMs?

 

Could you try going under display preferences and try setting the page update frequency at the bottom to disabled?  Curious if this solves your issue or not.

 

Made that change about 4 hours ago and so far GUI is still accessible and responsive. Will post again tomorrow after more time has elapsed.

Server has 8gb and the VM has 2gb assigned.  Spec is unRAID3 in my sig.

 

name = "ubuntu"
bootloader = "pygrub"
#kernel = "/mnt/cache/VM/ubuntu/vmlinuz"
#ramdisk = "/mnt/cache/VM/ubuntu/initrd.gz"
memory = 2048
vcpus = '2'
disk = ['phy:/mnt/cache/VM/ubuntu/ubuntu.img,xvda,w',]
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:aa:bb:cc,bridge=br0' ]
extra = "debian-installer/exit/always_halt=true -- console=hvc0"

After 24 hours the GUI is still running so that appears to have fixed it. Thanks!

 

I don't want to hijack this thread so should I start a new one about the drastic slowdown in copying to the cache drive since upgrading from 5.06 to 6?

Yes, that would be better.

I have tried setting the Display update frequency to Slow (= 1 minute).  I see the time to the update counting down at the bottom, but when it gets to zero it does not actually update, and instead merely starts counting down the next minute.  Using F5 to force the update gets me the changes.    This is using Chrome on Windows 8.1 Pro.

 

Anyone else seen any thing similar?  I am wondering if this should be raised as a new defect report?

Yes, it seems to not to update except for the timer counting down and the Uptime changing every minute
