Getn67 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I'm struggling with understanding how to use a modified build script with this. I'm trying to use @juchong FusionIo driver build script located here: https://github.com/juchong/unraid-fusionio-build. I'm more than likely missing something simple, but a walkthrough would be super helpful for me and others with these cards. Quote Link to comment

Just drop it in the Unraid-Kernel-Helper directory, make it executable and run it, also add the variables that are in the github repo. What does not work or where are you stuck? For which version of Unraid do do you want to build a custom image? Quote Link to comment
Getn67 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I'm currently running 6.9 rc1 with your nvidia plugin as well. 2 minutes ago, ich777 said: What does not work or where are you stuck?

I'm pretty certain that a novice like myself can follow these directions, but if I somehow trip over my own feet, I will reach back out. Quote Link to comment

Please read the first post again there is a almost full tutorial on how to do that with the builtin script. 7 minutes ago, Getn67 said: When you say run it, do you mean to start the docker, or do you mean some other way? Open up a unraid terminal, connect to the console of the container with: 'docker exec -ti Unraid-Kernel-Helper /bin/bash' and the type in: 'cd $DATA_DIR' then 'chmod +x NAMEOFTHESCRIPT' and then: './NAMEOFTHESCRIPT' 9 minutes ago, Getn67 said: I'm pretty certain that a novice like myself can follow these directions, but if I somehow trip over my own feet, I will reach back out.

tjb_altf4 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 @ich777 I've just moved to 6.9.0-rc1 and it looks like iSCSI support has been added to the unraid kernel. Is your iSCSI Target plugin still compatible with rc1, or should I wait for the new iSCSI GUI plugin to be complete? Quote Link to comment

Hi You still need to load the plugin to install Target CLI etc and enable the kernel modules. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes, that's only the Kernel modules, the plugin is needed to install the application itself so that you can use iSCSI itself. I will update the plugins next week if everything went smoothly. But could take also a little bit longer since my dev server is defect and I wait for parts to replace them... 1 Quote Link to comment
curtp Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 So I can get channels found on Plex but I am not able to load up the HD ones, I can't see why not as the signal is okay and also I did change the default plex setting for the channel to HD. I also tried tvheadend but that can't find any channels at all. Quote Link to comment

I'm not too familar with Plex but I've heard when you got no EPG data for the channels you are not able to see the channels in Plex even if they are there, eventually you have to assign them EPG data? Keep in mind if you tried also Tvheadend and you got it running in Plex too and Plex is using the tuner Tvheadend is not able to utilize the tuner anyways... 1 hour ago, daze said: I was able to compile fine for 6.9.0-beta35 by pointing to the .

If you are on RC1 all packages that you can build with the Unraid-Kernel-Helper that are builtin should be now availble in the CA App. I have to look into this, can you give me a little bit more information what is failing and evenutally enable the log bevore building and post it here?

Just need the nVidia modules, and maybe ZFS for playing around. I think the problem is simpler. The kernel did build, but it was -beta35 not -rc1. I'll try again. I assume I have to set beta as true again (regardless of rc1, which technically is not a beta, but a release candidate, but can qualify as a beta for our purposes). Maybe some wording change to say, "If beta or rc, set beta to true). Thanks for the awesome and mainly solid work. Impressive stuff! Quote Link to comment

You don't have to use this tool anymore. Simoly download the stock RC1 - reboot - go to the CA App and search for Nvidia Driver install it and also for ZFS and install it, reboot youre done. No more compiling needed and if a new version of Unraid is released the plugins will update the drivers automatically. Quote Link to comment

Thanks and it is weird as I also used Tvheadend to see the channels and also they did not come back in HD, I did try and manually change the channel on plex to the HD ones but also no luck. I will ask plex forums. Thanks for the help. Edited December 14, 2020 by curtp 1 Quote Link to comment

ZFS is not installed by any other tool, and the nVidia plugin has issues (at least for me) with looooong load splash times, or completely getting stuck. Nevermind, just found the new plugin, I'll try it and see how it goes. Not sure if I need ZFS that much, but would be nice to have. One can wish.

I nVidia plugin (new one) works great. Though I need a 1660 to use it for my needs. But it does work, I had to restart Docker before it would accept --runtime=nvidia. Quote Link to comment

Yes that's also what the message says that appears after the first installation of the plugin. You can also restart the server instead of restarting the docker service. Quote Link to comment
DemonWarrior Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) hey so i have a quick question I have unraid 6.8.2 and im using the unraid plugin on this post to get HWA with nvence in jellyfin with the Unriad OS on 6.8.2, but i want to keep my OS Unriad on Version 6.8.2, but everytime i try to use this plugin which automatically builds the repo it will build 6.8.2, and want build 6.8.2 would anyone know how to possibly fix this so can get unraid to work on 6.8.2 build with nvidia GPU for HWA.

Prebuilt images with Nvidia in the first post you don't have to build it on your own... Keep in mind that I designed this tool for use with 6.8.3+, never tested it with a version below.

JonathanM Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 18 minutes ago, DemonWarrior said: i would like to keep the build on 6.8.2 Unraid version That's not a supported version, 6.8.3 is the oldest version actively supported. If there is something in 6.8.3 that doesn't work with your setup, try the latest 6.9 release candidate. It's not a good idea to stay with that old of a release anyway, there are vulnerabilities that are fixed in the newest versions, and you will need to eventually go to the 6.9 series anyway, so if there is some incompatibility with the current 6.9 release candidate with your setup it would be good to get that addressed with limetech before the 6.9 release. 24 minutes ago, DemonWarrior said: Could you specify how to build this or how to get Unriad working on 6.8.2 with gpu transcoding for a nvidia geforc 960 GTX.

No because this container is also at EoL at least for version 6.8.3 I update it now for version 6.9.0 if someone is in need of a "complete" version with everything builtin. 1 Quote Link to comment
