Hi,

 

My colors for the drives don't apply.

I want to change the 2 lowest drives to another color. 

 

I select:

 

 

 

Save, and the color is back to the orange one. It does not apply. 

 

What could cause this issue?

I know there's some bugs with the custom colors, however it should mostly work.

 

You can first try to press "Reset all custom colors", then you must make sure you don't use the same colors as defined under "Common configuration" for custom colors under "Tray allocations". They can also NOT be in "heat map" mode.

Update 2024.10.26

 

• Commit #324 - FEATURE: Choose dynamic and static styles for LEDs (minor known bugs: this is not completed entirely, and will reset every update/reinstallations).
• Commit #323 - FEATURE: Under configuration you can now set to display LEDs in all color coded circular modes instead of Unraid icons.
• Commit #322 - IMPROVEMENT/MINOR: The "delete all" button and database move/delete requires now an additional checkbox to be performed. Also moved the backup button to a more sensible area. Some SQL syntax tweaks that will hopefully cause less corruption.
• Commit #321 - MINOR: Sometimes the colors behaved weird when saving custom colors. This happened caused by some variables being loaded after the execution of a function that required the info before.

Just a heads up that my dashboard stopped working after the latest update was pushed.  Once I removed the plugin it came back, so it's not playing nice with something.  I don't see anything in logs, latest stable Unraid 6.12.13.

Yes this update also killed my dashboard and wont let me look in the plugin settings.  Is there any way to roll back a plugin?

Had to uninstall plugin today (26/10/24) after latest update as caused dashboard tro load blank. Tried from private or normal firefox sesscion - clearing cache etc. Only way to restore was to uninstall plugin. Version on unraid is 6.12.13 with plugin version that failed released 2024.10.26

For me the Backup Button disappeared after deleting old backups. 

Hmm, this is strange. I can't see why it does not work as it does here. Can someone go to Tools -> PHP Settings -> select "All categories" and Apply that. Then install the plugin, go to dashboard. Then back to PHP Settings and fetch the log for me.

I found out why, this will reappear next update, sorry for that.

You can also try to delete the plugin, and then install this manually for testing:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/olehj/disklocation/devel/disklocation-devel.plg

 

There's something fixed, but dunno if it's related. Any feedback appreciated.

 

@elitexero @Gragorg @Gingertosser @TallMan206 

I am in the same boat as of last night. I'm going to see if I can uninstall the plugin then manually install the test. Will post logs if successful 

So, I installed the dev version and I still have the same issue. I was able to find the plugin directory but I was not able to find any logs.

Is there somewhere else besides /boot/config/plugin/disklocation (and disklocation-devel  where the logs might be?

I am also running Unraid 6.12.13 and my dashboard also went blank after installing the latest update to Disk Location plugin.  

• Safari and Chrome both showed a blank dashboard.  
• I tried rebooting my Unraid NAS, but that had no effect on the blank dashboard issue.  
• As soon as I uninstalled the Disk Location plugin, the dashboard returned to normal (minus the disk location graphic, of course). 
• Reinstalling the Disk Location plugin resulted in the same issue -- a blank dashboard.

 

FlamongOle, I recommend that you remove this latest version and restore the prior one in Unraid's repository until the root cause of this issue is discovered and resolved.  Lacking any on-screen clues as to the cause of the blank dashboard, there's too much chance of someone wasting a lot of time with memory testing, flash drive rewriting/replacement, array parity checks, etc.

@Miss_Sissy is there an easy way to roll back to the previous version?

The only way that I know of is if you have a copy of the old .plg file.  I do not have that.

 

That is why I recommended that FlamongOle roll back the version in the Unraid repository.

same thing happened to me, I updated the plugin and dashboard went away, now I can't even see my disks. I uninstalled the plugin and my dashboard is back, but seeing the disks on the main page required a reboot. 

here is a copy of the old disklocation plg file, dated 7-27-2024, but personally I would just wait for a rollback or patch

Thank you.  I plan to wait, but I worry about others experiencing the unexplained (to them) loss of their Unraid dashboard after an update/autoupdate or new install of the Disk Location plugin.  It's easy for a troubleshooting session to turn ugly and time consuming if the person is perplexed as to the cause of the problem in a complex system.

 

I don't want any of that to overshadow how grateful I am to FlamongOle for providing this valuable plugin.  I look forward to this minor hiccup being resolved.

I just upgraded this plugin inside Unraid. During the update progress I noticed a big bold red text appearing in the progress window "database too old ..." - I can't remember the rest because it disappered too quickly. Right after that the Web GUI automatically changed to "http://xxxx/Tools/disklocation" which shows basically an empty page with the label "Devices" in the top left.

I have never seen such behavior during a plugin upgrade before, normally the progress window informs me that the update is done and I click the "done" button - here automatically the WebGUI goes somewhere else, which is completely unexpected.

 

After reading the previous reports, I can conform that the Dashboard is also fully broken, meaning completely empty.

 

I'm using current Unraid 6.12.13

 

I found the following in the PHP log (log level default):

Edit: I looked at the PHP, and the error seems to occur while reading the settings from the database.

So I took a look at mine and noticed, that the current database (/boot/config/plugins/disklocation/disklocations.sqlite) is completely empty - it contains the table structure but no actual data anymore.

 

My guess is that the updater tried to migrate the database (hence the message "database too old" i saw) and failed - maybe by automatically loading another URL during the upgrade process which happened to me.

 

I replaced the database with the most recent backup (from /boot/config/plugins/disklocation/backup - file needs to be unzipped first!) - this gets the dashboard working again. There will probably be issues with that path, because something that was supposed to be changed in the database during the upgrade is now not there!

 

TLDR: Restoring from a recent disklocation-database backup will fix the dashboard - hopefully @FlamongOle will be able to fix this soon

After updating the plugin, the dashboard became a blank page. After deleting the plugin, the dashboard was restored. I hope this small error can be resolved   Unraid7.0.0 beta4.

Update 2024.10.27-1337

 

• Commit #331 - BUG: (Update 1337) Used wrong datatype in the database for a new function, might have caused an issue where you must manually save the config again.
• Commit #328 - BUG: Added a check for existing cronjobs during installation and removal. Automatic update was likely started the exact time as the database update, and the installer ignored that partly. Also fixed an error where the plugin would be inaccessible if the database are indeed corrupted. Also enabled manual lock file deletion under System tab again, this will only be visible when it exists.
• Commit #327 - BUG: Backup button disappeared when there were no backups available.
• Commit #326 - MINOR: Styles for LEDs now restored after reinstallations and upgrades.
• 2024.10.27 vs 2024.10.27-1145: nothing special, just minor cleanup.

 

Thanks to @Starfiresg1 for providing logs, this helped for debugging!

 

Those with corrupted databases should restore database from backup. You got backup, right?

 

To clear up some other confusions:

• It should never be required a reboot when installing, removing or reinstalling this plugin - even after failures as this last update. Only hardware changes -might- require it, but often "Force update all" would fix several issues.
• There's no rollback available, even if you have an older installation file, it will still pull the latest from the master branch on github. I do not package the releases manually. There's just "master" and "devel", at least for now.
• It's impossible to test all scenarios that might occur and bugs like this will happen, it has happened before, it will happen again. As stated in GPL license, this software comes without any warranty: https://github.com/olehj/disklocation/blob/master/COPYING

I updated to 2024.10.27 but no dashboard yet. Any action shall I take?

Uh I played around, and whey I changed, in the disk location settings, the "led display" from unraid icons to circular leds, everything started working again.

Likely due to old existing corrupted database, restoring previous database under "System" tab should fix it. 

When updating to 2024.10.27 the updates completes as expected and the "Done" button appears - it no longer navigated to the settings page during upgrade like it did with 2024.10.26 for me.

 

The update windows states now that the existing database (that I restored from a backup) didn't need an upgrade.

 

After the update the settings page of the plugin worked out of the box. The dashboard however was broken (empty) again.

Going to the "Configuration" page in the plugin settings and clicking "Save" without actually changing anything fixed the dashboard again. Maybe my old database was missing some settings-migrations from the broken update to 2024.10.26?

 

So far everything is working now

 

Found the following new warning in the PHP log - maybe related to the initial empty Dashboard?
