Hi folks. I'm primarily a Windows user (DOS/3.1x-NT/11) and over the years in IT support I've dabbled in a large number of *nix distros and MacOS so I guess I know enough to get me into trouble.

I've recently installed an unraid server which was easy enough and love the functionality. However in trying to install unmenu to extend the WebGUI I've come across an issue when running its bash install script.

At CLI logged in as toot I can create the /boot/unmenu dir and wget the install script zip, and can unzip it so the boot USB is mounted as rw as expected.

Then I need to execute the script file unmenu_install so tried to chmod +x on the rw file but this op fails without error since ls -l unmenu_install shows no change to permissions (same rw but no x).

Of course if one then cd to /boot/unmenu folder and tried to execute with ./unmenu_install we get the bash: ./unmenu_install: Permission denied error.

It's obviously a permission issue but since I'm logged in as root I should have the right to chmod anything.

The OS is Slackware 14.2+ and Unraid is version 6.9.2 with a Trial registration cert.

Ok folks, no need to reply on this topic as it's been pointed out to me that the USB boot folder is prohibited from executing scripts for security reasons, and the unmenu documentation I was following was designed for earler Unraid versions. Overall I'm very happy with the Unraid NAS solution

It's better if you post solutions as a follow-up post, because:

1) it removes the thread from the list of "Zero Reply Threads".
2) it causes anyone who might have subscribed to get notified (which editing doesn't do).

Hi bougthonp. Yes will do in future posts.
Just confirming this post is to close the thread as SOLVED.
Cheers
