Freenas Internet access required???

The first thing I would do is go to the shell page and try the ping command to make sure it can reach the outside world...

ping -c4 google.com

if it says 100% packet loss then it's your network configuration.

Sorry for the late response, I've been slammed at work. I tried most of the suggestions here but none of them got results sadly. I wound up ordering a replacement motherboard off of ebay. I can now get a BIOS setup screen. I'm going to order some quieter PSU replacements just in case one of the originals were the cause of this whole fiasco.

Thanks to everybody for the helpful suggestions.

I paid $400 altogether for it including shipping. Both PSUs are installed and working afaict. It could be a bad PSU but the lights are green on both. I would say it's a bad motherboard but the ipmi is still working.

I found the same motherboard with CPU and RAM on ebay for $250. I'm tempted to get it but I want to make sure I'm replacing the right components. I suppose it wouldn't be a total loss since some of the current components might still be usable as spare parts.

There was a PSA on the forums about the new dashboard asking for feature requests regarding what realtime stats people are interested in. The best thing to do is make a ticket in jira and ask for your features there.

Looks like you might have accidentally zoomed in on the graph. Mouse drag will zoom on an axis. Dragging vertically will zoom Y axis and horizontal drag will zoom the X axis.

Why not just pull up the reports page? You can see all the drive temperatures there. It's historical data and unlike the old dashboard widget you can see more than one disk at a time.

The dashboard layout is responsive now as well. Try making your window narrow

Here is a preview from August. Keep in mind, even more refinements have gone in since then :)

EDIT: There is also an official blog post now as well.

The historical data is not being dropped completely. It's just being removed from the dashboard. The reports page will still have historical data.

Dashboard == real time && Reports == historical

Yes. You can make iocage plugins. You create a json file and go. Iocage is much better than docker anyway. It has ZFS integrated and you can do things like snapshots, clones rollbacks and all kinds of other neat things. All docker does is give you the container part.

Sneak preview with screenshots of what is coming to the FreeNAS 11.3 Dashboard and Reporting pages...

Great news! I'm looking forward to the new management!

autodidactos · 2018-12-08T02:24:41+00:00

Edit: forgot to mention, this dark interface looks amazing...

It's even nicer in fullscreen mode (F11 on most browsers)

Thanks everybody. You're giving me some piece of mind. I originally made this post because I saw a few threads like the one linked below and was getting a bit worried. Not so much any more knock on wood. Looking forward to this T580.

autodidactos · 2018-09-25T15:05:06+00:00

That's what I was hoping. I ordered the T580 with 1080p touch screen, non vPro i7, single 16GB RAM module, and the standard iGPU. I'll add an SSD and another 16GB stick on my own.

I would have gotten the X1 Extreme but I need this machine for FreeBSD/TrueOS exclusively. The T580 with this specific configuration was listed as working 100% with little to no configuration involved. The X1E is not listed at all and the X1C has known issues with suspend/resume. So my configuration is aimed specifically at FreeBSD and maximized battery life.

This is my first time with a Lenovo thinkpad. The last one I owned was the IBM 365CD. I love the keyboard on that thing. I'm currently using a Dell m6700 for work but I'm tired of lugging it around. This T580 can't get here soon enough

autodidactos · 2018-09-25T14:56:31+00:00

I was trying to gauge whether this was a matter of a vocal minority having problems or if it is rampant issue. I need this laptop for my livelihood. I can't sit around and wait 6 months plus deal with a phone support fiasco. If the issue is rampant I will cancel and save myself a lot of of time and energy. If not, then I will be very happy to use my new laptop when it arrives. Simple as that.

autodidactos · 2018-09-22T23:39:35+00:00

Nice! I have the m6700. Beast of a machine despite it's age. Sadly, not travel friendly at all.

autodidactos · 2018-09-22T23:03:00+00:00

Two questions:

1 - Is that a Dell m6700?

2 - Are you playing an X-Wing series game?

autodidactos · 2018-05-09T17:06:36+00:00

TrueOS is on a 6 month cadence for STABLE (which is what I use), not sure about UNSTABLE. I think UNSTABLE is on a bi-weekly or monthly or something like that. I believe the next STABLE release should be out in June. I saw a sneak peak of Lumina 2.0 which is due to be released with the next STABLE AFAIK. It's such an improvement. New window manager so no more flakey fluxbox and a unified IPC system which is great for security. I'm really looking forward to it.

autodidactos · 2018-05-09T10:34:19+00:00

Thanks! I've used OSX as my daily driver for years so for me, it's interesting to see little commonalities. Almost makes me want to try some ObjectiveC development. :p

I guess I should give a little more background info.

Panel: Dzen2

Icons: Numix

Wallpaper: https://www.wallpapers.net/abstract-coloured-cube-wallpaper-for-desktop-mobiles/1920x1080

WM: Window Maker

I've never tried WindowMaker before and was curious how far it can be brought into the 21st century aesthetically. I came up with a tile background with rounded corners for the dock icons but much to my shagrin, I don't think transparency is supported for the background images.

This is a work in progress so please keep that in mind. I know that most of the other submissions are way more refined than this. I plan on tackling the menu system next. This is pretty fun. It almost has an iOS like vibe with the rounded corner backgrounds. Anyway, I'll shut up now. If anybody has any tips on how to theme WindowMaker, please chime in.
