@jaredbusch said in Remmina - using profiles causes application to crash - Fedora 28 Workstation:

Thanks for the fast reply, the issue is the color setting were set to low by default. Setting it to 16 bit corrected the issue.

So the crash was connecting, not the profile creation?

Correct.

@irj

I've never seen that either, even when installing it on old AF linux boxes.

I've seen it barf errors before when the right version of Python isn't set as the default.

what version of python does it want?

Python3 on Fedora 28.

@jaredbusch nice

@obsolesce
XFS -

I use your document minus Hyper-V, DHCP and automatic updates (I don't install those packages). I differ by creating a separate 5 Gib XFS partition /myshare during setup along with the different info in smb.conf file.

Thanks everyone. Yes it is most likely an unneeded extra step.

I just stood up a 2016 DC. I did nothing at all to it, and by default it uses the PDCE as the w32tm /query /source.

I haven't had a need to stand up a 2016 PDCE, just regular DCs.

I'm going to stand one up in a lab to see what the source is by default.

I could have sworn it was time.windows.com and not CMOS. That was 2012 R2 though, I'm curious now.

It has always been CMOS first, that's why all the systems that lose their time over time are due to that. Also any VM prior to booting to the OS regardless or not they have Guest Services enabled, get the time from the Host BIOS.

That makes sense. The PDCE I set to use ntp.org very well may have said CMOS before I changed it. But regardless, when you join a pc or server to the domain, it automatically is set to use the PDCE as the time source.

Yes, in a domain all computers get the time from a DC.

They SHOULD anyway.

Yeah, that's important to note, should is the keyword.

@siringo said in RAID what?:

Are 146GB disks too big for RAID5?

Those are itty bitty. Like 2004 tiny.

@obsolesce said in Is Spectrum down again today:

No, if they catch wind of a customer wanting to cancel, they turn off their website and kill their phones.

heh.

Well it just loaded and I see everything properly looks ported.. time to have the owner call in and cancel.

@tech1 said in Microsoft new account security questions:

Creating a new account for a pc in Windows 10 and it makes you do security questions. Is there a way to bypass?

Yes, it happens on Windows 1803 and up and only on local accounts. With microsoft accounts it is the usual.

Is Remmina ceashing when RDP to older servers like Server 2008 R2? That’s the only server giving me issues with Remmina. Try freerdp or rdesktop through command line and see if you have a better experience.

@jaredbusch said in PDQ Deploy:

I quit using PDQ with any regularity when I found chocolatey.

Same, but I only used it at the last job, now I just use a chocolate ps script that does all of it.

@wrx7m said in Shared HP Printers - Apply Preferences/Settings to Clients:

I figured it out. You have to use the Printer defaults button on the advanced tab. It opens the same window as shown in the OP, but it will apply it to the clients.
0_1530920108014_751c2e82-b84e-4108-ba2c-63f37353bf8d-image.png

Yes, that is where you always do it. Remember that when you change printer drivers you need to change it all over.

Couple thoughts...

It's spelled EPYC...

There were some weird NUMA considerations when trying to saturate 100Gbps Ethernet NIC's. I saw some firmware improvement/workarounds (basically stick TCP to a core so it wouldn't span NUMA nodes). 99% of people are not going to care about this, and the work around seems to be holding from what I've seen.

For Single socket it's really the best bang for buck out there. I've seen some impressive vSAN numbers on it if anyone's wondering. It doesn't lock out 1/2 the PCI-E or Memory lanes like Intel in a single socket config.

I've got a RYZEN at home, and quite happy with it.

I'm hearing Intel made some optimizations for multi-threaded and cloud native workloads in Skylake that cause issues for .NET and single threaded apps. I haven't done any bake offs but I'm curious if AMD went down the same pass (especially with spin locks). If you have older .NET code with lots of spin locks you want to get it updated or get ready for potential (heavy) regressions on performance vs. Broadwell. We are entering a weird situation where CPU vendors are starting to NOT optimize for enterprise applications but for the mega clouds.

While I think ARM is awesome, there also is a LOOOOOOOT of optimization to be done with compilers before it gets taken seriously outside of edge cases, or homogenous workloads where people will invest the time like CloudFlare.

It requires a outage to migrate between Intel and AMD at a virtualization layer. Intel also has QuickAssit and some other interesting offload, as well as Apache Pass technology.

@emad-r said in SBC = RK3399 is the chip to look for:

@penguinwrangler

Compared to Pi3 this chip = RK3399 paves the way for ARM desktop alternatives without any lags.

I never use RPi as a desktop.

@pete-s said in Easy to manage KVM host setup:

Fedora Server was a no go on the old HP server I had. It would hang during install.
I tried xcp-ng (= xenserver ~ centos) on it and it installed fine. Debian 9 also installs fine.

I'll try CentOS next.

That's surprising. What server is it?

I had to go check what it was and it's a HP DL360 G5.
It's too old and slow anyway so not a big deal, but still surprising.

I have two Dell R710 laying around as well that I could use instead. They're a little less ancient I think (xeon 5500 series). It just for testing so as long as it works performance doesn't matter much. Just need to have enough RAM.

So it turns out that Easy Appointment is not a fit. No reminders of an upcoming event, only if an event changes are there email notifications.

Nextcloud Calendar may work but for some reason, the popup reminders are not working even though I've enabled popups for the site on my browser. Even tried via Edge and Firefox and popups don't work in those either. I'd also need to figure out a way to turn off the file share function of Nextcloud for this to be approved. I'm going to keep plugging away at Nextcloud and see if I can get reminders to work.

@stacksofplates said in Ubiquiti WiFi vs... everyone:

This isn't wifi related but a big downside for us is the largest 10 gig switches are only 16 port. For a site with 40 Gb core and 10 Gb everywhere it's a big limitation.

I wouldn't buy 10Gbps ports in 2018. 25Gbps or 100Gbps. Cost is the same for 25Gbps with how the ASICs and optics work.

Atlanta had a few outages the last several days, too. Nothing big.

@scottalanmiller said in Fedora: Skype for Linux:

Does the installer allow for video? Any benefit over the web page?

Seems to - though I've not had any calls to test it.... if you wish,. call away to test. But it did pick up the Jabra Headset and the Logictech Camera.
