Decided to run a clean Unraid 6.2 install on a new USB stick.

Formated new USB stick as FAT32 and extracted Unraid 6.2 and made it bootable.

First time GUI started after first boot and I requested a new key which I received via email and copied back to the new USB.

Copied config over from old USB stick to the new one.

Rebooted via the GUI.

 

Now when I boot with the new USB stick I can telnet to the new setup and can see my USB share from Windows but cannot get to the GUI. Attempting to access via http://192.168.1.69

 

Looks like GUI process is running but I had to start it manually - would not start automatically upon boot.

 

root@Icarus:/var/log# ps -ef |grep emhttp

root      5602  1935  0 20:40 pts/0    00:00:00 /usr/local/sbin/emhttp

root      7715  1935  0 20:49 pts/0    00:00:00 grep emhttp

 

Tried using Chrome and IE and both browsers just "spin" waiting for a response.

 

I don't see anything obvious in the systlog - (attached).

Any help is appreciated,

I had this happen to me as well.  Format the USB drive, add the UnRAID files and run the make bootable script again.  Something got corrupt in my case and you have to rule this out before wasting a whole lot of time investigating other causes.

Type      diagnostics        at the command prompt as it provides much, much information than a syslog. 

Tried that twice with no luck - FAT32 and did not use quick format.

Update - thought maybe there was an issue with the new USB (32GB FAT32) stick so tried a clean install on previous 2GB (FAT).

 

Reformated old USB 2GB FAT extracted clean 6.2 files and restored config files.

 

Same issue...I am really stumped now 

 

Reason why I wanted to clean install is after upgrading to 6.2 the GUI is very slow and log file is full of these entries:

 

Sep 23 10:05:31 Icarus avahi-daemon[5423]: Failed to find user 'avahi'.

Sep 23 10:05:51 Icarus root: Timeout reached while wating for return value

Sep 23 10:05:51 Icarus root: Could not receive return value from daemon process.

Sep 23 10:05:51 Icarus emhttp: shcmd (126): /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidnsconfd start |& logger

Sep 23 10:05:51 Icarus root: Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD DNS Server Configuration Daemon: /usr/sbin/avahi-dnsconfd -D

Sep 23 10:05:51 Icarus avahi-dnsconfd[5511]: connect(): No such file or directory

Sep 23 10:05:51 Icarus avahi-dnsconfd[5511]: Failed to connect to the daemon. This probably means that you

Sep 23 10:05:51 Icarus avahi-dnsconfd[5511]: didn't start avahi-daemon before avahi-dnsconfd.

 

Update:

 

Placed these two lines into the passwd file and the GUI is VERY responsive now:

 

avahi:x:61:214:Avahi Daemon User:/dev/null:/bin/false

avahi-autoipd:x:62:62:Avahi AutoIP Daemon User:/dev/null:/bin/false

 

Still wondering if anyone knows why the clean install did not work? Would appreciate the help still.

Thanks everyone for your help,
