November 28, 201015 yr I am having a similar issue with the "carriage return" that Joe L. mentions. I even switched to my Pro 2 key Flash Drive, and the issue is still occurring.

I can't seem to locate the offending "carriage return" that would be causing this. My syslog attached I looked a bit more... I don't yet know the cause of the error, but I can see where it is being generated. The error is being caused by the submission to unMENU a request from your browser that has an un-defined "method" The methods that are supported are "GET" "POST" and minimally "HEAD" Your browser (or something on your LAN) is apparently submitting something unMENU is interpreting as a method of "80" The trailing carriage return you see in the error is because at at that point in time the record separator (to read from the browser's data) is set to cr/lf. A "request" to a web-server is typically GET web-page parameters or POST web-page parameter You are apparently submitting something looking like 80 ...... or, in the other poster's case: 58 ...... 61 ...... the current error handling line for a "bad method" in unmenu.awk does not print the entire line submitted, so no way to know what it is. If you run this command, unmenu.awk will be edited to add more infirmation for debugging. sed -i 's/"bad method -"/"bad method - " $0 /' /boot/unmenu/unmenu.awk What page is being submitted to the browser when the error is logged?

November 29, 201015 yr Hi Joe L. I installed Vim and got this message. "Nov 23 20:39:02 Dragon-Tower unmenu[1461]: /usr/bin/vim: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /usr/bin/vim)" And this Installed, but version is different. Current version='' expected '7.2' Did I do something Wrong? Also is there and option to auto install on reboot? Thank you. Thornwood Since it does not see the installed version in place now, it does not present the button to re-install. It looks as if the version of the support library "libc.so.6" on your server is not the version needed by "vim" what version of unRAID are you running? 4.6 RC3 thank you
November 29, 201015 yr Author It looks as if the version of the support library "libc.so.6" on your server is not the version needed by "vim" what version of unRAID are you running? 4.6 RC3 thank you What other add-ons have you installed that might have replaced libc Do you have "transmission" installed? I think it puts a different version into place.

What browser are you using? Joe L. I am not sure what page is being submitted to the browser, I use Firefox on my computer. Sometimes, I can have the UnMenu on screen seeing the last few lines of the log, and do a refresh, and see the error line had occured a few minutes before. But I had never done anything on the computer. There are 3 Notebooks, 2 desktops(includes the one I use to access the UnRaid), 1 printer, 1 Wii, 1 Xbox, and 3 Zotac Zboxes on this system. Will I need to know what each one of these is doing to determine the problem. I never had this issue until I put the UnRaid on my main network and switched the network file in config to a get DHCP "yes" instead of the Static IP address. Prior to this network change, I had the UnRaid on its own network, that had no access to my router and the internet. Should I switch to a static IP address for the UnRaid? As for the command, just to be sure, I will log in to my console, and then enter the command. Then I will see the results of this where? In the syslog?
November 29, 201015 yr Author As for the command, just to be sure, I will log in to my console, and then enter the command. Then I will see the results of this where? In the syslog? It will append the entire command being submitted to the unMENU web-server and log it in the syslog. Current it is only logging the first "word" of the command. As I said, it is typically "GET" or "POST" so I'll be curious what prints too. You'll be helping me, as I've never seen that here. It is not a file you edited as I first thought... I had completely forgotten about the "bad method" trapping in the unmenu.awk. The "^M" threw me off track. Joe L.
November 30, 201015 yr What other add-ons have you installed that might have replaced libc Do you have "transmission" installed? I think it puts a different version into place. No all I have installed is twonky media and unmenu and check without repair once a month. every thing else is standard. I have attached a syslog in case it helps. Thank you again. syslog-2010-11-29.txt
November 30, 201015 yr I entered the command today after work, and I did change back to a static IP, and then a powerdown and fresh startup. I now have these errors showing in my syslog. I am attaching the whole syslog, just in case there is something more to be seen. One more thing if it helps. My wife came home and started her notebook computer just before 7pm and it has been on ever since. syslog-2010-11-292.txt

The lines are 10 minutes apart. Now all we need to do is figure out what it is that is issuing the line (roughly) every 10 minutes. I wonder if it will stop when your wife turns off her laptop. Are you running a "status" program on the laptop to check the unRAID array? Joe L.
November 30, 201015 yr Joe L. There has never been any deliberate connection with her computer and my UnRaid that I know of. I did a little looking at her computer, and found that it is the only one that we have that is running those google gadgets ( I think that's what they are called ) on the side screen. They are always changing, don't know the cycle. I deactivate them. Other than that, I not sure. Will check on it in a little bit. If any more happen, I will turn her computer off and see what happens. Her computer and my main are the only ones on the network now.

Are you running any other add-ons on your unRAID server that might be accessing them through "localhost"??
November 30, 201015 yr The deactivating of her gadgets didn't work. It happened a few more times. So I have shut her computer down. Now the only thing that is on line is the UnRaid and my main computer. I have not had anymore since 10:52 so far. But it doesn't seem to stick to the 10 minute cycle exactly.

Her computer was with me at the time, sitting at the Main Windows screen and idle. I had both the syslog on my screen and the router log. I refreshed the syslog and then the router log. The newest entry of my router log showed an out going from my wifes computer to port: www url or ip: 38.100.162.110 I don't know if this means anything. I have gone for over 1 hour and 10 minutes with my wife's computer off and no more have occurred. I am going to check it in the morning before work and see what happens. As far as the add-ons, I have preclear and I have UnMenu and nothing more. Thanks for the efforts with this

November 30, 201015 yr I have not had anything written to the syslog since last night, with her computer off. mbryanr, Yes her computer is a Dell Laptop! I will check and deal with that Dell Network Assistant tonight when I get off work. Hopefully this will do it. Thank you, Joe L. and mbryanr for all the help on this. I will report back tonight.
November 30, 201015 yr I know I can control my router via port 8080 from outside my network. I don't know if there is some sort of conflict going on between your router and unMENU but it might be something to check also.

I see this in the description of Dell Network Assistant: The SingleClick software is designed to keep track of a network map by reading every device on the network and presenting it for approval by the user or network manager. This works with any device on the network, without regard to the operating system that may be running on the device. It might be probing all the "devices" it can detect on the LAN.

I know that my Syslink can be accessed from outside the network, but I have always kept this feature disabled. I do have enabled so that computers on my network can have direct access to the router. I'm pretty sure that we have narrowed it down to her laptop. I will know better when I get home tonight.

November 30, 201015 yr Would you see any reason that I would need it to do this? No. Looking through the google pages on the Dell Network Assistant, a few universities have given instructions on how to remove this "feature" because it interferes with their LAN.
December 1, 201015 yr I was surprised to find that there where no lines in my syslog during the day, yesterday. My wife was home with my sick daughter, so they where on the laptops, and using the XBMC's for movies. I did check the laptop, and the Dell Network assistant had already been disabled, so I am not sure what is going on. I will recheck my syslog tonight and see what or if any show up.

December 2, 201015 yr Author Well... we know it is something on your LAN, most likely from your wife's laptop from your description. The message is harmless otherwise. You won't run out of memory. The system logs are rotated out in the middle of the night if they grow over a certain size. You just end up with /var/log/syslog.1, /var/log/syslog.2 in addition to /var/log/syslog.
December 3, 201015 yr Author I've just uploaded the changes to unMENU that bjp999 has been working on. It will require you to run the upgrade twice. The reason it this. The first upgrade will install a new version of the program that performs the upgrade itself. That script is known as unmenu_install. As an alternative to running the upgrade twice you can download the newer unmenu_install version from google.code and use for the upgrade. Put it in the same folder as all the other unmenu "awk" files. Download the new unmenu_install from here: http://code.google.com/p/unraid-unmenu/ After installing the new release it will also be necessary to restart unMENU. you can use the button on the User-Scripts page to restart it. It is all worth it. There are a lot of new features in myMain, and graphics, and there is a new syslog viewer compliments of bjp999, and more. I know bjp999 will be describing his features in more detain in a separate post. In the interim, you'll just need to check out the new version. Remember, to get to all the new pages you'll need to re-start unMENU. If currently running unMENU to see the new graphics you'll need to run the upgrade/install twice. Joe L.
December 3, 201015 yr Hey Joe, Without prior knowledge of this post, on a whim, I decided to check for unmenu updates. I saw that it said that there were some updates, but when I clicked install, I got errors that some files (images) couldn't be installed. Turned out that I had to create the following directories: images & images/stock inside of /boot/unmenu Don't know if others will experience this, but just a FYI...
