unMENU 1.5 ... now available for download.

[Joe L.]

Joe, Is it possible to make a function to hide all not installed packages ?

 

And make packages of following script?    

-spinup_when_accessed

-cache_dirs

-s3_notHrHdTcpIp

 

//Peter

sure,

let me know when you've finished making the changes and creating the three new packages.  I have no time right now myself, but you are sure welcome to do it.

when i run top i see that there are three instances of image_server.sh running and consuming considerable amounts of cpu cycles. i upgraded to beta9 from beta6 and I started seeing this behavior.

 

if i kill the processes they do not restart, but i'll be monitoring the situation to see if they creep up.

 

any ideas?

absolutely no idea.

Thank for the reply Joe. You are correct sbSynced=0 when I ran cat /proc/mdcmd. Why is that happening?

I have no idea. The output of /proc/mdcmd is part of the "md" driver. 

   

unMENU is simply reporting what it finds. 

 

Have you performed a parity sync since you last rebooted?

 

What does it say in the unRAID interface?

 

 

 

Joe, I did a parity synced after I upgraded to beta9 and unMENU is now reporting the correct last time of Parity check.

good news

[defected07]

Hey Joe: Do you recommend a way to keep unMenu up-to-date besides adding "unmenu_install -u" in my go script before emhttp and uu are executed?

 

Thanks

use the button on the user-scripts page perhaps?

[defected07]

Yes, but what happens when I fail to update prior to a unRAID upgrade, and break it.

 

Is adding that update check to the go script such a bad idea?

[Spritzup]

Silly question, but I'll ask anyways.

 

Under myMain, is their anyway to set it so that the picture of the displayed server accurately reflects your actual server setup?  Thanks!

It will explain where to put your custom image.  Also, there are a lot of images contributed by others in that thread, one might be close to what you need.  There is even a spreadsheet to get you started in creating a custom image.

Another noobie questions regarding unMenu 1.4r223 running on unRaid 4.7

 

I am having issues accessing unMenu on a consistant basis; I have it on the default 8080 port and get "cannot display webpage" ~60% of the time.  I have tried changing the port but it has not worked.... below is my syslog

 

Jul 26 18:37:39 192 unmenu[10057]: awk: ./unmenu.awk:306: fatal: can't open two way socket `/inet/tcp/8080/0/0' for input/output (No such file or directory)

Jul 26 18:37:39 192 unmenu-status: Exiting unmenu web-server, exit status code = 2

 

Any thoughts?  I wanted to add sick, couch, etc... but want to work out the issues first without the overlay. 

 

One more question, can sick/couch run w/o a cache drive?

 

Thanks

It can only handle one request at a time.  While servicing a request, it is not listening for another.  It is not a read web-server, it is an "awk" script pretending to be one.

Do not be impatient.

 

Any program can work without a cache drive.

I have been experiencing this problem as well.  I would say 60% of the time is a better result than what I am seeing.  The main unmenu page hardly comes up, let alone any of the other pages.  It's been so bad, I wasn't sure unmenu was even running.  Is there something in particular in the logs I should be looking for?  I am also running Sab, Sick and Couch on the server, if that makes a difference.

 

Thanks

[Spritzup]

Is any of Sab/SB/Couch running on the same port as unMenu?  I believe SAB and unMenu share a port...

[prostuff1]

The default install of SABnzb does, though if you use the packages I created I make sure to change that for SABnzb

I have all of mine set up on different ports.

[clevoir]

I have just installed the latest version of unMenu and configured mail and ssmtp -

 

However unMenu reports Installed, but version is different. Current version='/usr/sbin/ssmtp:' expected '2.62'

 

[LateNight]

When configuring Mail and SSMTP I ran into a problem with my password. It contains the @ symbol (ex. pass@word). It appears fine after saving but when returning to the page the password is parsed with VAR surrounding it and sending email does not work. Removing the @ fixed the problem.

[ftp222]

I just installed unRAID 5.0b9 and upgraded the unmenu software.  2 items are no longer working properly:

 

1. The main page no longer shows drive temperatures.

2. The Disk Management tab no longer lets me run a SMART status report.  I get the following message when attempting to run one:

 

smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sdo
smartctl 5.40 2010-10-16 r3189 [i486-slackware-linux-gnu] (local build)
Copyright (C) 2002-10 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net

Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device)

A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options.

 

My syslog is attached.

 

My system is a VMware ESXi configuration with VMDirectPath enabled for 2 IBM M1015 SAS controllers - converted to LSI cards with IT firmware.  Everything on the system runs fine, but I certainly would like to be able to get SMART reports as I know one drive has issues.

 

Thanks for the great program Joe L!

Just updated to latest UnMenu and UnRaid 4.7. I can get the Main first screen to come up in UnMenu but it I try to go to MyMain or anything else I get the message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"

Just wanted to update that I did get into UnMenu this morning, was able to go into MyMain and a couple of other things. Now again I can't get into anything UnMenu again.

At the prompt (root@Tower:~#) when I type cd /boot/unmenu unmenu_install -i -d /boot/unmenu I get "/boot/unmenu is a directory" and it goes back to the prompt. I have tried this with and without spaces in different spots, with and without cd, and nothing is happening. I am having the same problem with the preclear_disk install. (the messages are either (/boot/unmenu is a directory" or unmenu_install does not exsist, no such path or whatever, but nothing happens.)

Type it as TWO commands.

 

cd /boot/unmenu

 

then

unmenu_install -i -d /boot/unmenu

 

the above two commands assume you created a /boot/unmenu directory AND that you unzipped the unmenu_install program in it.

 

 

 

[MikeL]

Thanks Joe!

I now have gotten to the boot/unmenu prompt, and when I type in unmenu_install -i -d /boot/unmenu I get a "You must have a DNS Nameserver and Gateway defined in your unRAID setup before you can continue"

 

I am awaiting a new router, as mine was killed in a storm a few days ago, and I have to move the cat-5 back and forth to and from my pc (That I am on) and the server. I am guessing at this point, I will need to wait til my router is connected and working, right?

unmenu_install is a script that will download and install the files that make up unMENU.  There are quite a few, so yes, you need to be able to connect from the unRAID server to the internet.

 

That requires you to have a network gateway defined, and a DNS nameserver.

 

If on the command line you can type:

net lookup google.com

and have it return an IP address, you should be ready.
