Linux_Dash Stopped Working - v6.7.4
Linux-dash on my RN214 has stopped working - browsing to the GUI, it comes up but shows zero CPU cores, zero RAM and empty Disk Usage etc. Apart from that, the NAS appears to be working OK. I ins...
I successfully upgraded my rn104 and rn204 from 6.6.1 to 6.7.4 on wednesday without issues so far. linux dash is running fine on both machines.
If not tried, you might want to deinstall and reinstall the app.
Hi,
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing linux-dash a few times, without success. Also a number of reboots!
IIRC I originally installed linux-dash OK under v6.6.1 or even earlier. I then upgraded via 6.7.3 to 6.7.4 last weekend. Linux-dash was still working fine on 6.7.4 until I found a problem with one of the other apps regularly crashing due to something taking all the RAM, (was using linux-dash to diagnose this), and I ended up doing a full wipe, factory reset and re-install from flash of 6.7.4
It seems to be that if linux-dash is already installed during a previous OS version then it continues to work OK under 6.7.4, but if you try to install it directly on to 6.7.4 then there is a problem?
Maybe I need to downgrade my OS back to 6.6.1, install lixux-dash and then upgrade to 6.7.4 again?

Well, I cannot confirm, whether that might solve the issue. However, before conducting this imho major effort to get this tiny app to work, you might want to wait for more comments from other community members on this.
I do not have much knowledge about php, but it seems, that there is a more general issue with this. linux dash is php-based to my understanding.

Thanks,
I was not aware of the connection with PHP, nor the wider problems with that.
Whilst linux-dash is indeed a "tiny app", it was proving invaluable in narrowing down a problem I was having with excessive RAM usage. I will hold off rolling back to an older version of the OS for now, but it does seem to be relevant that a system that had linux-dash installed on an older version of the OS still works when ReadyNAS OS is upgraded, (your experience and mine), yet when linux-dash is put on to onto a fresh install of OS v6.7.4 it does not work, (my recent experience)?
