craigr Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Been getting this error since I started using 6.9 RC1: Quote The author (or moderators of Community Applications) of the plugin template (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Skitals/unraid-vfio-pci/master/plugins/vfio.pci.plg) has specified that this plugin is incompatible with your version of unRaid (6.9.1). You should uninstall the plugin here: Minimum OS Version: 6.7.0 Maximum OS Version: 6.9.0-beta1 VFIO-PCI CFG has been working fine and is working fine for me in 6.9.1 official release.

I have a "backup" share that my Windows machines point to, and there are many errors within those backups that Windows doesn't care about, but unRAID does: leading/trailing spaces, etc. Those items are beyond my control to correct, as they are the result of other apps' organization, or even Windows'. I have image backups and file history backups here, and they make "run extended tests" take FOREVER and generate numerous lines in the results that are completely irrelevant. I'd really like to exclude this Backup share from the extended tests. Is there a way to do this? TIA Erik Anyone have any thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment

GAMBINO Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) I am getting a new warning since updating today. "Extra packages being installed were found in /boot/extra. It is not recommended to install any packages this way. The recommended way is via the NerdPack / DevPack plugins" The only thing in /boot/extra is cmatrix terminal screensaver from spaceinvader one's tutorial. It still works fine. Forgive my ignorance, but I don't see a way to utilize NerdPack to upload cmatrix? Should I assume this warning will continue and I am ok? Or is there a better way to install this package? Thanks in advance! Edited March 10, 2021 by GAMBINO Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 The warning is because many people were putting packages there that might break a future unRaid release and forgetting they had done so and then wondered why upgrades went wrong due to a package being incompatible with the upgrade. if the package is available in NerdPack (or DevPack) then that is preferred as it,is regularly updated to install the correct versions of packages for any specific unRaid release. However if it is not available in NerdPack then your only easy option for installing it is to continue doing it via ‘boot/extra’ but you might want to raise a request in the support thread for NerdPack to see if your desired package can be considered for inclusion going forward.

Thank you for the clarification. I will request with NerdPack. EDIT: based on your response, I did more digging. I am posting this info for anyone else who has this package installed. The package looks like its based off the work by https://www.asty.org/cmatrix/ & https://github.com/abishekvashok/cmatrix. In spaceinvader one's version of the package there's a slackware file based on slackware version 13.0. (https://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.0/desktop/cmatrix/). The slackware part hasn't been updated in a while so I assume Unraid is based on a newer version. I don't believe this would be a good candidate for NerdPack then. It is working (at least for me) with 6.9.1. I'll just have to note this for next time i upgrade. So.... shame on me for just installing it with no due diligence... but its COOOOL... haha THANK YOU ALL for your hard work & for providing the "idiot light" in CA Fix Common Problems. This extension/forum has helped me tremendously in troubleshooting my system that I would have otherwise ignored or not known about. Edited March 10, 2021 by GAMBINO Here is what I found out about the package. Hope it helps someone else. Quote Link to comment
cam217 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Hi all, I've got the same warning in my CA Fix Common Problems. I don't recall doing anything like this (using the /boot/extra to any kind of purposes). I opened a console to see what's there and here it is: root@Tower:/# cd boot/extra/ root@Tower:/boot/extra# ls libbsd.txz I don't know what it's doing here. Should I delete this library, should ignore this warning or should I do something else? Thanks for the insight! Edited March 14, 2021 by cam217 Quote Link to comment

I assume its the same package you have. One of the files referenced this wiki: https://libbsd.freedesktop.org/wiki/. Copy your servers file to your desktop & see if it matches the one I linked to. That'll at least point you in the right direction of what it is. Check your user scripts &/or docker containers for dependency? If you do decide to delete it, make sure to backup your flash drive so you can revert back if needed. Quote Link to comment
Kushan Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Sorry if there's a good answer for this. I did a search and seen a few people posting the same issue, but couldn't see any resolution. I have a bunch of missing template errors on my docker containers: When I click "apply Fix", I get an error: Now, I created these containers using Docker Compose as I had my compose file already defined from a previous NAS. I suspect that's the crux of the issue, so my question is: Is there a way to properly fix this, so the templates can be applied? (Ideally without having to do it each time a container updates) OR is there a way to disable this specific check? I can't ignore them as they just come up again. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 You've already ignored it, so it's not a problem. The template missing makes sense because you created things with docker compose. I'll have to see why it's popping up the message when there is no template to check against. But it's popping up the URL against the repository you have which is in CA, and hence would have a template if you had installed it via there. Quote Link to comment

Apologies, I didn't realise there was a response to this (I'm new on the forum and didn't have notifications on). The problem with ignoring it is that the warning pops up again but the ignored warning is still listed. Here's what I mean (See how radarr is listed in both sections): I think this happens when the container gets updated (Or recreated), but I haven't tested that theory much. I appreciate this is because I'm doing something that's not widely supported (Docker Compose), I'm happy that I won't get the templates or access to them, I'd just like to be able to reduce the noise here if at all possible. EDIT: D'oh! Of course there'd be an update to the plugin shortly after I post this. Most of my template warnings seem to have gone, thank you! I'm still getting notifications about containers having updates that I can't ignore (Same duplicate behaviour) but it's much less noisy now, thank you!

Squid Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 OK, but your screen shot show that both the radarr messages are ignored. The top one is what's currently found that's ignored. The bottom one (which has boldface on one section -> have to look at why it's not on the top) is a previous one. Anything that's ignored will not generate a notification. Quote Link to comment

Your performance will suffer. Install the plugin via the Apps Tab (Community Applications) Thought it may be due to a secondpool, changed code to output problem dev. found if cache has multiple devs, other than the first disk doesn't have file system type so this condition fails. Guess also needs check to see if part of name matches previous name and continue or if fstype is null/blank. added this as a fix : if ( !isset($disk['fsType'])) continue ; but dont have a xfs ssd disk to test. if ( strpos($disk['fsType'],"btrfs") !== false ) continue; ["cache2"] idx="31" name="cache2" device="sdd" id="CT500MX500SSD18" size="488386552" status="DISK_OK" format="MBR: 4KiB-aligned" rotational="0" spundown="0" temp="38" numReads="6161" numWrites="108681" numErrors="0" type="Cache" color="green-on" spindownDelay="-1" spinupGroup="" deviceSb="sdd1" idSb="CT500MX500SSD1" sizeSb="488386552" luksState="0" Edited March 22, 2021 by SimonF Quote Link to comment

bombz Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Fix common problems report: Extra packages being installed were found in /boot/extra. It is not recommended to install any packages this way. The recommended way is via the NerdPack / DevPack plugins So this I have had for years in /boot/extra PlexMediaServer-1.19.1.2645-ccb6eb67e-x86_64.txz However, I don't run it on my server anymore. When I remove/delete this .txz it doesn't seem to go away, always comes back every boot. Is there a way to eliminate this for good? Open to suggestions.

Squid Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Then deleting it should get rid of it permanently. You definitely do NOT want to have Plex being installed as a plugin. If it comes back, post your diagnostics Quote Link to comment

Look on the Plugins page. What do you get from the command line with this? ls -lah /boot/config/plugins/*.plg Quote Link to comment
dreadu Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Nice plugin 👍 Suggestion / Feature Request: After having some trouble last week (more than I am willing to admint 😅) I do have a potential common problem to fix for others new users running into the same problem: Before getting unraid, I was using a raspberry pi to run my pi-hole. That was migrated to unraid ofc. I did change my router dhcp / dns settings accordingly, so all devices get their dns server from the router, which points to unraid and the pi-hole container there. BUT... since I also used a dhcp reservation for my unraid machine, unraid itself got ip + dns settings from the router as well. That meant unraid tried to get it's dns information from it's own ip. That in itself was no problem, but other containers in a custom docker network could not use the dns. Due to the error message I was looking at the wrong place (firewall etc) for way too long, until I figured out that resolving the URLs from within the containers did not work. Fastes fix was to manually set a different dns server for unraid. Maybe a simple check if the IPv4 address and IPv4 DNS server assignment are identical can save somebody a few hours 😊 Kind regards Quote Link to comment
