I installed TrueNAS Scale last week and have been loading data onto my 18tb array. I noticed that the console sceen has been repeating the “web user interface is at” portion. There is no keyboard or mouse connected to this machine and other than a SMB copy operation from a windows workstation and an occasional login to the web gui, nothing else has been touching this machine. Anyone have any ideas why this is repeating itself? I found an entire screen filled with this at one point.
Hey, i saw you had the same problem as me. I reinstalled everything and its still the same. Have you found a fix or came to the conclusion its normal? I suspect somethings up with the drives because on the first install i could see the message " GPT:Primary headers thinks Alt. header is not at the end of the disk" or smth in the lines and in a split second it turned that into a new print of the IP and stuff.
The web user interface is at:
http://v.x.y.z
https://v.x.y.z
Is simply letting you know HOW to get to the web user interface, in case you did not know. Perfectly normal.
Now if it is constantly updating, then that is a problem. But, occasional updates are likely the TrueNAS Middleware trying to make sure the message is visible on the console in case needed.
As for the other thing;
Looks like the disk was not fully wiped before use. Or was used by another OS before use.
Similar situation here: just “sidegraded” (not my term) from CORE to Scale 24.04.2.5, on a new-built headless server. When Scale boots, I see the same repeating pattern walking down the screen at the same frequency.
Not a big deal, unless you’re trying to actually use that menu from the screen - then its a PITA. Otherwise, so far, its just a nuisance and as far as I can tell, not affecting anything else.
I think I saw one post suggesting this pattern is the result of a failing search for a monitor (my motherboard has an IPMI interface as well as HDMI and VGA interfaces, neither of which are plugged into anything). I configure the server using the WebUI, and via IPMI if necessary. I haven’t tried connecting a monitor to either port yet to see if it makes any difference.
I just tried restarts and shutdown, wait, power on, with monitors connected, and it still repeats the message.
When I was initially installing TrueNas Scale a week or two ago it wasn’t happening. Then I booted to Linux Lite installed on a USB drive to run CPU stress tests and hdd SMART tests for a few days. When I went back to Scale it is now doing it.
Was worried I did something that might have caused a problem I’m not aware of (yet)…
