Unable to start GUI - Clean 6.2 install

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,

Kat

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,
