January 17, 201115 yr I just used >/dev/null 2>&1 and that seems to work. Thanks Joe for the hint. I still don't get why though. By std output you mean a result that will appear on the screen after the command is run, right? None of these commands produce any output or response at all when they are run... Peter
January 17, 201115 yr I had Unmenu 1.1 - and tried to upgrade tonight :-\ I started off by deleting the /boot/unmenu folder using XP and then rebooting the tower from the tower web page. Then putty in Logged in and made mkdir /boot/unmenu Then downloaded unmenu_install1371.zip on my XP machine unzipped it on the xp machine and then copied the unmenu_install file to the unmenu folder using XP through the network. with Putty running i ran cd /boot/unmenu which takes me to the unmenu dir , then i ran command unmenu_install -i -d /boot/unmenu and it thinks for a second and returns the message below: Unable to connect to googlecode.com from your server. You must have a DNS Nameserver and Gateway defined in your unRAID setup before you can continue.. For most people, these are both set to the IP address of your router. root@Tower:/boot/unmenu# I keep getting this message either through putty or hooked up direct to the server! any ideas? Aj
January 17, 201115 yr Author You must have, as it says, the DNS server set in the settings page, and the nameserver set. Typically, both should be set to the IP address of your router. Both are on the "Settings" page in the unRAID management interface. It indicates that if you were to type net lookup googlecode.com it would not return an IP address. What version of unRAID are you running?
January 17, 201115 yr 4.6 Pro - Just tried net lookup googlecode.com and it returns nothing, Is that correct i don't want my server on the net
January 17, 201115 yr Joe that means the server will be on the Net right? I could temp edit what i need too download the files from google code and then set it back...? you must have, as it says, the DNS server set in the settings page, and the nameserver set. The name is tower do i just put in my router ip of 192.168.1.1 on the dns server 1 tab? see the picture..... Aj
January 17, 201115 yr Author Joe that means the server will be on the Net right? I could temp edit what i need too download the files from google code and then set it back...? Correct, but you'll need net connectivity to use the package-manager more easily although it provides download links for the packages if you do not have net connectivity. You also need net connectivity to use the check/install updates feature in 1.3 unMENU. It can keep itself updated if you click on the buttons on the user-scripts page. you must have, as it says, the DNS server set in the settings page, and the nameserver set. The name is tower do i just put in my router ip of 192.168.1.1 on the dns server 1 tab? see the picture..... Aj Yes, just put the router IP.
January 17, 201115 yr Author Joe that means the server will be on the Net right? Your server will not be "on" the net, (nobody on the net can get to it unless you open it up for direct access in your router) Instead, with the DNS server field set, the unRAID server will be able to access the net. It can then use it to get to the NIST time servers to keep your system clock set accurately, and to googlecode.com for unMENU updates, and to all the slackware package sites to download add-on packages through the new package manager. Joe L.
January 17, 201115 yr Joe that means the server will be on the Net right? I could temp edit what i need too download the files from google code and then set it back...? Aj Setting the server so it can see the internet doesn't make it any less hidden from the "net" then it was before. If there is a internet -> router -> unRAID connection then it's already connected to the internet. I would hope your router is set to protect the server from access via the internet (it should by default if you haven't opened any ports). When you posted, the server already has internet access but it doesn't know how to convert an address to a IP number. I assume that's what you're meaning? Peter
January 18, 201115 yr In the /boot/unmenu folder there are script files and I looked at 990-unmenu-wget.awk. I'm wanting to have a user script button that will download and maybe install SNAP, do I have to clone the code from that other script or is there some sort of call or whatever available that has been made generic enough for others to use?
January 18, 201115 yr I'm in the process of setting up an email alert setup in case my array bombs, and I am getting asked to install the C compiler when I install MAIL. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/519591/UNRAID/Compiler.JPG But the compiler package says you pretty much dont ever need it unless you have a swap file set up anf 1gb of ram. I have 1GB of ram, but I have no swap file. Will I be ok to compile the mail app? Not too amped to hear I could crash the server haha. Thanks in advance.
January 18, 201115 yr I just did some compiling today thanks to Joe L. The big trick is to stop the array before you compile. If it does crash then you can reboot and go back to normal. The compiler says you don't need it unless you need to compile something. It then says you should have a swap file if you have less than 1GB of RAM. If you stop the array you'll free up some RAM.

I'm wanting to have a user script button that will download and maybe install SNAP, do I have to clone the code from that other script or is there some sort of call or whatever available that has been made generic enough for others to use? That plugin was from before the "wget" command was added to unRAID. (We actually coded our own wget equivalent in the same way we coded out own web-server equivalent in "awk") You can use instead: wget -O destination_file http://the URL_from_which_to_download since wget is included in unRAID and has been for a long time now. Joe L.
January 18, 201115 yr Looks like it went well, and I am getting emails on my gmail. Thanks Kricker, and thanks Joe for leaving the default entries in the package as gmail addresses, made it as simple as possible.

January 25, 201115 yr Hey Joe, I'd swear there used to be a way to mount devices from the unmenu Disk Management page. Is it gone or am I just getting forgetful?
January 25, 201115 yr Author Hey Joe, I'd swear there used to be a way to mount devices from the unmenu Disk Management page. Is it gone or am I just getting forgetful? It is still there, but it does not exist unless there is a partition with a file-system to mount. From what I saw, unmenu did not detect a file-system on the partition, so it did not present you a button to mount it. (I think it uses vol_id to determine what is on the partition.) Joe L.

I recently had the same thing happen on a couple of disks. One was NTFS formatted and the Other was OS X HFS+ formatted. Neither would mount via unMenu but I was able to issue the commands on the command line and it worked just fine.

If they were not recognized, it would not present a mount button.

Joe L. no, it does not present the button unless it sees a file-system. (any it recognizes) It does not need to be a reiserfs file system. I recently had the same thing happen on a couple of disks.

January 26, 201115 yr Hi all. This is my first post here so I'm a complete noob. Started using unRaid a week back and I'm finding it really easy to use and fast. I've finally finished transferring all my data so now trying to rebuild the other functionality I had on WHS. I started with unMenu so that I can install transmission. However after installing unMenu by following directions, I am able to to log into unMenu but none of the functions are working. unMenu shows my array status as not started with no disks in the array. Trying to install a package on the package manager page has no effect, the page simply reloads without doing anything. Meanwhile the unRaid Main page works fine showing my array to be running properly. I reinstalled a couple of times, changed the name of my server in the config file, changed the port (that worked fine) but unMenu is still not working as I hoped. Another thing is that I can log into the unMenu main page instantly. But unMenu takes a good 30 secs to load. please let me know what other information is required to diagnose this. thanks

What version of unMENU did you install? Where did you install it? If the package manager has no effect, you might need to properly set a DNS Nameserver (to the IP address of your router) and a network gateway (also to the IP address of your router) For the package manager to work your flash drive must be writable. If it is read-only, nothing will work. The clues might be in your syslog. Please attach one to your next post. For now, I'm going to guess you have corrupted the unmenu.conf file by editing it. It normally needs no editing at all. You can get it back to its original form by typing: /boot/unmenu/unmenu_install -u -d /boot/unmenu Then, you'll need to kill it and re-start it. killall awk /boot/unmenu/uu

I'm on windows 7 32 bit and have tried using IE and Firefox with the same result. I have installed the latest version of unMenu downloaded this morning from google code. unRaid is version 4.6 I have followed install instructions absolutely so the install script was placed in \\MY_SERVER\flash\unmenu and when it was run at /boot/unmenu with the recommend switches, files were downloaded to the same folder. I run from /boot/unmenu/uu My flash drive is not write protected, as the install files got written to it. I have attached my syslog. Gateway and DNS in Unraid are properly configured to my router gateway. I'm pretty sure unraid is seeing the internet considering unmenu install script downloaded unmenu from the internet (i guess) Running /boot/unmenu/unmenu_install -u -d /boot/unmenu gave me this output. Downloading 75-unmenu_user_script_dmidecode rev != 7b689990dc86890482ee7e7f0766f169 or fabae4725e210dc5905e8c317f0dcdda, /tmp/unmenu_tmp/75-unmenu_user_script_dmidecode not installed Is this normal? Subsequently restarting the unMenu shows my problem to have stayed. syslog-2011-01-26.zip
