October 11, 200916 yr I am getting my feet wet with unRAID. The server is almost together. I am doing some testing and at the same time getting familiar with the system. I've copied unmenu into /boot/unmenu. Unmenu is great, but I seem to have a problem with the package manager. Package installs are smooth. The problem is that upon rebooting the system, all of the packages that I have installed only show up as "downloaded, but not yet installed". I think that the single installations succeed, for instance if I install the "pci utils" package, and then click on "PCI devices", I am able to see all the PCI devices. After rebooting, things do not work anymore, until I re-install the packages that is. I am sure it's my scarce linux knowledge at play here... What am I doing wrong? Luca

Luca Once you use unMENu to manually install a package, the button will then change to say "Auto-Install on Re-Boot" Did you then press it to have it re-installed when you reboot? If not, you'll have to re-install manually each time. Or, did you edit the "go" script in any way, it is possible you did not press newline at a line you added, and the line unMENU adds for the auto-install is appended to your last line instead of it being on its own line.

Joe L. Yes and yes. I do click on the "auto install on reboot" button(s). However I also edited the go script to add a "/boot/unmenu/uu" line - was that the right way to do that? Most likely I screwed something in there. I used vi to edit the file. The last time I used vi was a few years ago. Enough said. This is what my go file looks like: #!/bin/bash # Start the Management Utility /usr/local/sbin/emhttp & cd /boot/packages && find . -name '*.auto_install' -type f -print | sort | xargs -n1 sh -c /boot/unmenu/uu

If you type ls -l /boot/packages/*.auto_install does it list any scripts for it to run when you re-boot? Joe L.

I think that there was a ^M missing, probably did that the first time I edited the go script. I mucked around a bit with vi, and now the packages get installed at reboot. Thanks for your help. Luca
