@scottalanmiller said in Yet another Communication issue....:

When troubleshooting on the network, always start at the bottom and work up.

Start with a ping to the IP (not the hostname.)
Then ping the hostname.
Then nslookup the hostname.

These basic steps tell you what is working and what isn't. Don't hop around, use progressive testing and you'll get to answers really quickly.

That's good advice,
We usually start with Aloha based issues such as the control service running on Server, any files telling it to stop, that sort of thing.
Then we move to Windows/networking.

If you know other things are working, you can move up the "stack" to where you can guarantee success. Like if you are transferring files, you know ping works.

@scottalanmiller based on @mroth911's most recent topic he is looking to setup a Hyperconverged system and appears to be testing Hyper-V and oVirt.

can't do hyperconverged without shared storage. Shared Storage is the foundation of hyperconvergence.

EMC shows it is assigned to all services and the schedule task is there.

Calling this a win.

Locking a port to a single IP is a trivial task for any gear, even consumer.

I wouldn't go that far.

I don't know much consumer gear that doesn't make that easy.

Super easy tomport forward? Yes. Able to restrict to a specific source IP? No.

eh - if you're only open for the trunk provider, then you can likely lock to one or a few IPs.

if you need mobile support - that's another story.

How? Where? Been a while since I was in a consumer router, but port forwarding screens had nothing about source IP.

Is there anything else that you can tell us to help to fill in some gaps?

I... just... what...

Oh dear.....{sigh..}

There has never been a promise or timeline made for the mobile apps. Anyone expecting anything on that front is operating in their own little fantasy.

That's the main use case of softphones, though. Like 95% I would guess. Softphones for the desktop are way more niche.

I totally disagree. Softphone on the desktop is by far the largest user base thanks to call centers.

Softphone on mobile is a far second to that.

Maybe overall, but for FreePBX? FreePBX is pretty rare in call centers, AFAIK.

Product was discontinued three years ago. That one didn't make it very long.

Windows DUMBASS-ory..

Talking to my brother, he mentioned some 'issues' with Windows not releasing the lock on the partition. He suggested and this is the really dumb part on windows.

To boot Windows and RESTART normally.

Since grub starts Ubuntu by default, it booted normally into Ubuntu.

I did the lsblk -f as before, only this time for /dev/sda4 - there is a UID for it. AND it shows as NTFS..

so,.. FFS Windows,.. FYS. now,.. to see how to prevent this stupidness in the future.

This why someone suggested that you go into Windows and do a full shutdown with shift shutdown.... normal shutdowns now aren’t full shut downs to allow the system to boot faster.

But he did that and it made no difference

Yup - a FULL shutdown didn't do anything more that the SHIFT shutdown.

User is a local admin, but that does not solve the issue.

When when logged in as a local admin - processes don't run with higher privileges. Did you try doing a run as for this process? While UAC was enabled?

"Run as" worked, but wasn't always called. It's not a universal option, that was apparently the problem.

You can right click the shortcut for the app and check the box to make it run that way.

Only some apps. That's why I could test with Notepad.

huh? what app can you not right click and check the box to always run as admin?

Fast forward >>>> I was evaluating DMS and it seems like OpenKM did change the code, as it appears to not require any client-side java anymore.

https://demo.openkm.com/OpenKM/login

Yeah, seems like it has updated a lot.

For Linux, its like they only support LTS distros.
A little behind the time for Windows support.

... I don't see how just using some flashy marketing terms would actually get good talent.

my point exactly! 🙂

Not really what companies using recruiters like that want. It's mostly a myth that people want to hire great talent. Most places want to hire cool sounding, middling talent.

@scottalanmiller Yeah just saw that when I clicked on it.

oh wait, that's the quote from Anchor man, LMAO

I use invoiceninja, checked out akkaunting and decided not to go there, but I might switch to Wave if I ever run into the invoiceninja limitations

Someone needs to rip that earring out of his head.

Maybe then he'll get a clue.

He wouldn't get as many views then, and that's really the point. People don't like watching someone succeed nearly so much as the utterly stupid. (See his $100,000 pc build for another one.)

Views also get him sponsorship which is where the $100,000 PC came from.

Exactly. The sponsors don't care that the content is banal. They care about the numbers of viewers and to a lesser degree their demographics.

That is so weird.
