GUI slow after update to unraid 6.2

[knarf0007]

Hi,

 

after the update everything works fine (VMs, Docker container, ...) exept the performance of the gui, which is rather bad. The only thing I've found is this error/warning in the log file.

 

Oct 8 18:08:28 UnRaid-Server avahi-daemon[20731]: Failed to find user 'avahi'.

Oct 8 18:08:48 UnRaid-Server root: Timeout reached while wating for return value

Oct 8 18:08:48 UnRaid-Server root: Could not receive return value from daemon process.

Oct 8 18:08:48 UnRaid-Server emhttp: shcmd (4330): /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidnsconfd start |& logger

Oct 8 18:08:48 UnRaid-Server root: Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD DNS Server Configuration Daemon: /usr/sbin/avahi-dnsconfd -D

Oct 8 18:08:48 UnRaid-Server avahi-dnsconfd[21085]: connect(): No such file or directory

 

Could this maybe the problem? And how can I get rid of this error? Thanks a lot!

 

Greetings

I'm having the exact same problem with mine.

 

I also believe this issue causes my media box to freeze whenever I try to stream.

 

Anyone have any info about it?  Frank, have you tried 6.3?  It might fix the problem, but I always wait for stable releases.

Had the same issue, it's the avahi.  Check this thread http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=50635.msg488473#msg488473 I added the avahi and avahi-autoipd lines to my /etc/passwd file and it instantly fixed the issue.  I upgraded from 6.12 to 6.21 and every action in the gui took 30-40 seconds.

I have upgraded to this release candidate (from 6.1.9) and I now have a sluggish/slow webui where page can take 20-30 seconds or more to load. 

I am seeing this error over and over again in the logs.  Did I miss something in the upgrade steps (which I thought I followed)?  I turned off docker and VM's, but it had no effect.  The user shares work just fine as well, it's basically just the Web UI.

I noticed someone posted the same issue in the RC2 thread but there was no response.  I can usually resolve issues from other people posting, google, etc, but this has stumped me for the past 2 days.

Any Ideas?

 

On my system, which doesn't have your problem, I have:

 

Code: [select]

root@Lapulapu:~# ps aux | grep avahi   

avahi    15421  0.0  0.0  34496  3188 ?        S    Jul28  0:47 avahi-daemon: running [Lapulapu.local]

avahi    15422  0.0  0.0  34236  260 ?        S    Jul28  0:00 avahi-daemon: chroot helper

root    15430  0.0  0.0  12752  112 ?        S    Jul28  0:00 /usr/sbin/avahi-dnsconfd -D

root    27979  0.0  0.0  9656  1860 pts/1    S+  13:50  0:00 grep avahi

 

Code: [select]

root@Lapulapu:~# grep avahi /etc/passwd

avahi:x:61:214:Avahi Daemon User:/dev/null:/bin/false

avahi-autoipd:x:62:62:Avahi AutoIP Daemon User:/dev/null:/bin/false

 

Notice that the avahi-daemon is running under the avahi UID. According to the third line of your syslog your system can't find the avahi user. What output do those two commands give on your system? Perhaps your /etc/passwd file has got corrupted, which is odd as it's loaded fresh with each reboot. Perhaps your flash device has got corrupted or your download of unRAID was damaged.

Fixed!

 

I added:

avahi:x:61:214:Avahi Daemon User:/dev/null:/bin/false
avahi-autoipd:x:62:62:Avahi AutoIP Daemon User:/dev/null:/bin/false

to /boot/config/passwd and it fixed the issue immediately.  Even fixed my media box problem.

 

Thanks.

I was surprised to see how many have experienced this issue, so I created a FAQ entry based on what I learned by searching the related posts:
