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)…
Anyone find a fix?? I dont know if this is well known but i changed my truenas os drive to a sata and it seems to do it less but still over time it repeats… Is anyone getting this running truenas without any added apps just straight truenas for smb and nfs or scsi shares… cause i kinda have a feeling it has to do with apps loading or logging in but it could 100% be in my head… just never had any of these tell i installed plex on my system if im remembering right…
anyway its just annoying and hoping its not a sign of a serious problem thank you for any responses.
I think it just refreshes when you log into the GUI or have the GUI webpage up in a browser. Normal, not a problem if you are just seeing the usual menu.
