unMENU 1.5 ... now available for download.

There are no files in root. I don't think the directory exists. That command ls -l /root gives total 0 as the output. What should I expect it to be and how do i get them?

 

I'm starting the unMenu server through putty with the command /boot/unmenu/uu. I have installed nothing else to unRaid. Only moved to a pro license and implemented user security. About the fatal errors I think it's because unMenu is behaving comparatively unresponsive on system compared to the unRaid webserver so I lose patience and try to open another page while one is trying to load.

"root"  is the top level of your flash drive.  It is not a directory.  i.e C:\ would be the "root" of your c drive.

That is interesting, since the /root directory is part of the distribution created in RAM when the unRAID server is booted.

 

Either you accidentally deleted the files, or your downloaded version of unRAID is incomplete.

First, stop your array and reboot.

The "ls" command should look a lot like this:

root@Tower:~# ls -l /root

total 4

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  26 Jan 12 00:17 initconfig -> /usr/local/sbin/initconfig*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 171 Jan 12 00:17 mdcmd*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  25 Jan 12 00:17 powerdown -> /usr/local/sbin/powerdown

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  18 Jan 12 00:17 samba -> /etc/rc.d/rc.samba*

"root"  is the top level of your flash drive.  It is not a directory.  i.e C:\ would be the "root" of your c drive.

I know you are trying to be helpful, but you are wrong.

/root is the home directory of the "root" user.  It most certainly does have files in it, as shown in my previous post.

 

"/boot" is the top level of your flash drive and has nothing to do with what "dps" is missing.

In windows you can get to it (/boot) in File-Explorer at \\tower\flash

Thanks for correcting me.  I saw root and thought boot.  Sorry about that.

Nope. No go. After reboot.

 

root@Grail:~# ls -l /root

total 0

 

My server is acting a bit weird. The reboot script doesn't work, the unRaid webserver shows rebooting but doesn't actually go offline and reboot. I need to power cycle.

 

I have downloaded 4.7 AiO and unzipped it but there is no root directory in it. When does root get created? At first login?

 

What are my options? Can I just rewrite my flash drive with the contents of the 4.7 zip file and restart. Will I lose all my shares and data if I do that?

  • Author

Unzip the distribution and replace the bzroot and bzimage files only on your flash drive, then reboot.

 

You may have memory problems.  Perform a full memory test for several cycles, preferably overnight.

 

The /root directory is created when the system is booted and bzroot is un-compressed.  It is always there.

 

Joe L.

 

Beautiful. Everything is working perfectly now.

 

Followed the procedure to upgrade to to 4.7. Root started showing files in it and unMenu is working great.

 

Thanks a ton!

Using unMenu with unRAID 4.7

 

Tried to install package for ViM and it gives me the error...

Installed, but version is different.
Current version='' expected '7.2'

unfortunately, if you were to try to run it, it would complain of an incompatible version of one of the shared libraries

You'll see the error if you invoke it as:

/usr/bin/vim --version

It prints:

/usr/bin/vim: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /usr/bin/vim)

 

I do not have a replacement download package identified.  If you find one, let me know.

I thought I had uploaded the newer version.  Let me check it out.

I had inadvertently left a line at the top of the

dynamic-dns-unmenu-package.conf

file.  It basically says "#AUTO_UPDATE = NO"

 

You can try once more now.  I think I've got it fixed.

 

If, by chance you have previously downloaded the version with the AUTO_INSTALL=NO line, you'll need to delete the

dynamic-dns-unmenu-package.conf yourself, or at the least, delete the top lie before the new one will auto-update.

Joe FYI: Running Parity-Check on Version 5, on unMENU it doesn't tell that this is running.

Yes, its related to the status command output having changed somewhat in 5.0 from what the 4.x reports.

I'll check it out.

Was showing someone unMENU at work (remotely from another home computer) and while I was on the Network Performance screen it stopped working and now I cannot navigate to unMENU.

 

I tried rebooting the unRAID server and I can get to the default unRAID page, but unMENU is gone.

 

I have done nothing else besides navigating to the site.

 

What gives?

You might not have added a line to your config/go file to start it again upon reboot.

 

Joe L.

Any ideas on why it would have crapped out like that?

 

I guess Ill have to add that when I get home. :(

 

Edit: I was able to modify the GO file remotely and it is up and running now, thanks Joe

no... what did you attempt to do?  It  might have just been servicing your request and you disconnected before it returned.

 

It is specifically invoked in an enclosing loop (in the "uu" script) because Internet Explorer closes connections if you abandon some screens.  Since you rebooted, you'll never really know since the previous system log is replaced with the new.

Don't know if anyone else experienced this but I couldn't figure out why my ssh wouldn't reinstall after reboot.  It was because of it's dependencies  being installed after openssh.  Solved this by adding a -r to the sort of the auto install line

I have same issue after installing 5.0B4

so you are saying changing the line to this solves the issue ?

 

cd /boot/packages && find . -name '*.auto_install' -type f -print | sort -r | xargs -n1 sh -c 

 

tested and it works now as above ... ssh is installed at boot now

Just wanted to give an update to my "bad method" that occurs in my syslog.  It ended on Jan 25!  My wife's computer crashed.  No more issue.  I did fix her computer, was a Windows  auto update/restore issue and a hard drive (maybe).  Now that it is all up and running anew, no more issues from it in my Syslog.  What ever it was that caused the problem is now gone.

 

 

I'm sure this has been mentioned somewhere in the 67 pages of this thread, but I'll be damned if I can find it.  Is there a way to get unmenu to automatically start up without having to type "./uu" every time you reboot?  Is there a Linux equivalent of autoexec.bat?

The system automatically executes the script at /boot/config/go -- you can add the startup line there.

 

I added this at the end of my /boot/config/go file:

 

/boot/unmenu/uu

 

As long as that's where you have it installed, that'll get the job done.
