Hi, running the UGREEN led driver plugin on a fairly fresh installation of UNRAID 7 beta 4 on my UGREEN DXP2800.

The first led is flashing orange (yellow to my eyes ). It does this immediately after booting and is always in that state.

Ugreen manual reads: 'Data transfer (no internet)'

 

Howewer the NAS is connected to my LAN and internet works very well, too. And there is no active service running that transfers data. At least none that I have started and am aware of. 

 

UNRAID syslogs do not report anything suspicious. What can I do to troubleshoot? Thanks :)

You know that this is only true for their OS?

Do you have Diagnostics?

 

Orange means normal operation and the script actually can't detect your link speed.

 

You can change the color by editing the file:
/boot/config/plugins/ugreenleds-driver/settings.cfg

 

And change the value from the line: COLOR_NETDEV_NORMAL so that the line looks like:

COLOR_NETDEV_NORMAL="255 255 255"

 

After that reboot and the LED should now be white.

Thanks for the very swift response and for clarifying that this is normal behavior

I made the edit and it works. However I also needed to change 

COLOR_NETDEV_LINK_2500=

to white, as your script successfully detected the 2.5g network.

 

May I suggest to change anything that`s referring to a default or 'good state' to another color code than yellow, orange or red? These colors typically indicate warnings. Maybe white, green or blue for different network speeds? Just an idea... thanks!

These colors where choosen because of LAN indicator lights.

To what was this set?

@ich777 it was set to a bright yellow. I forgot the exact value. And the LED affected was the left one (of three) on the front of the case. I tested it with a 1gb connection, and then the LED turned blue, with the same blinking frequency. I hope this helps

This is expected with the plugin.

You can change the values as you like and these are basically the color values in RGB from 0-255

The colors where done on purpose.

 

It will only blink if there is actual traffic running over the NIC, if no traffic is running over the NIC then no blinking will happening.

Blinking is actually slower than on the Ugreen OS to not cause CPU spikes/additional CPU load.

Hi all,

 

I have a question. Hope you can help me out.

 

Just moved my Unraid system to a new mainboard and cpu. But now Emby won't use Intel Quick Sync Video anymore. Tried to install Intel-GPU-TOP but no "/dev/dri" directory is created.

I'm using a Intel i9 285K CPU on a Asus ProART Z890 mainboard.

 

Intel-GPU-TOP gives no error.

 

Install log:

Does anyone know what could be wrong?

I think this CPU is simply to new and isn‘t supported yet, at least the iGPU.

 

You can try the following:
1. Issue these commands form a Unraid Terminal:

mkdir -p /boot/config/modprobe.d
echo "blacklist i915" > /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf 

(this will make sure that his iGPU is initially blacklisted)
2. Install the plugin Intel-GPU-TOP from the CA App
(the plugin will then make sure to force the probe on his iGPU)
3. Reboot

On what Unraid version are you?

Please make sure to be at least on Unraid 7.0.0-rc.1 before trying the above steps.

Hope I'm in the right place.

 

I have the INTEL-GPU-TOP plugin installed,, as well as the GPU-Statistics plugin installed,, and neither appear to be able to see my intel internal GPU.  

Running newest stable version of unraid, Intel i5-12400.  Tdarr // Plex can see and use my GPU, not sure why neither of these can.

 

For the message" no GPU's selected", there is no place to select my GPU in that settings page.

 

Thanks

Nope at least not when you ask about GPU Statistics. This is related to GPU Statistics.

You have to go into the GPU Statistics plugin settings on the Settings page and select your GPU there.

 

Do you maybe have Diagnostics to troubleshoot further? You mention that the iGPU is not detected...

Hi again. Another issue popped up. CPU was constantly at its max level. All cores. No task at all was running. What can I do to prevent it? Again, it`s a fresh Unraid installation on new hardware. Only 2 small docker containers running so far. Intel N100. Unraid 7 beta 4. Could the beta cause the problems due to the new Kernel they use, afaik? Typical workload of the CPU normally does not exceed 10%. (Sorry for not copy pasting text from the log. I could only take a screenshot on my iPad at that time.)

I've contacted the developer from the Kernel Module, the plugin is based on this repository.

 

It would be really helpful if you could post your Diagnostics since for such issues these are necessary.

 

If that happens again please also pull the Diagnostics and post them here.

 

Please note that Unraid 7.0.0.rc.1 was already released.

There you go. Diagnostics are attached. thanks again for the responsiveness and also thanks for the heads up on the RC. Will update right away and let you know if this happens again.

@ich777 hi. CPU load is again at 100%. Diagnostics attached. I checked the running processes and none of them show a significant CPU load over 1 digit. Which is confusing... I also checked the CPU load with an external tool and it`s confirming the load up to 100%. I de-installed the LED plugin for now and will report back.

Are you really sure that the plugin is causing the issue and not this, your syslog is full from these messages:

Dec  5 08:39:59 NAS smbd[878263]: [2024/12/05 08:39:59.782439,  0] ../../source3/smbd/smb2_service.c:746(make_connection_snum)
Dec  5 08:39:59 NAS smbd[878263]:   make_connection_snum: canonicalize_connect_path failed for service proxmoxbackups, path /mnt/user/proxmoxbackups

 

I assume the high load is caused by I/O wait which could be related to these messages.

could be, yes. As the timing of CPU load issues with the LED plugin errors is corresponding, this was my first guess. Will let you know once I know more. Thanks

Having the same issue with my new build: an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K. I updated to 7.0.0-rc.1 and followed the steps above, but still get "No device filter specified and no discrete/integrated i915 devices found" when running intel_gpu_top in the terminal after a reboot. I've attached my diagnostics in case it's helpful.

Hopefully it will be supported in RC2, but I can‘t tell for sure.

Sadly enough you have to wait, bleeding edge hardware on linux always takes some time to be supported and also please don’t forget that Unraid is now tied to a Kernel version that is supported by OpenZFS, this can slow down things even more…

Let's hope so. I was also unable to make it work with your suggestion.  

 

Now I'm thinking about getting a cheap external GPU case on TB3 from Razer (Core X) and putting a Intel A380 in it for the time being.

Don't forget about the A310, there is even a low profile version out there:

Yes I noticed. But for a few euro extra you have the more powerful A380. 
 

all my PCIe slots are occupied. So if I need to make use of an external case I can get the bigger one.

If you are only using it for transcoding it makes no difference at all.

My NAS reports ITE IT8613E Super IO Sensors when I run sensors-detect.

 

I installed this plugin, then Dynamix temp plugin, I run detect, nothing.

 

I restarted, noted that now my Dashboard has a "FANS" area with my fans speeds, but the temperature info for CPU/MB are empty, and running Dynamic detector finds nothing still, even tho the fans part shows it8613

 

How is this supposed to be used??

I assume you are referring to the IT87 plugin.

It is as easy as installing the plugin, go to the FAN plugin, click Detect, click Apply, select the sensors and that's it.

 

If anything is not working please post a screenshot or the output from `sensors` from a Unraid Terminal.

However it might be possible if some temperature sensors are not showing up that your chip is not fully compatible or not fully supported.
