Got it working. It is something with GRUB2 portion of the installer code, it has a bug in it. The LILO portion of the code does as well. Use the old GRUB portion and it installs just fine. Quirky, but it works.

What you may need to do is log in to the Calendar's web interface on Google... then go to Settings.

Then click on the Calendar you need to sync... and then scroll to the bottom and get the "Secret Adddress in iCal format"

Then Link that one in iCal on the Mac... I think you add it by URL... But that should give you 2 way Syncing, not a one time import.

Create a new secure SSH key:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "root-webserv1-key"

Hit enter for default location and name.
Hit enter again to skip passphrase creation.
Now you should SSH to server to continue.

Does this step disable normal logins or change anything at all? After my first restart my root password isn't working.

This only generates a new certificate and does not do anything else. If your root password is not working, maybe you are typing it in incorrectly, or it's something else entirely, as what @NashBrydges is referring to. If you are using Putty, perhaps it's caching the old public key.

@quixoticjustin said in Installing SaltStack Salt-Minion to Solus Linux:

Solus Linux lacks a native package for SaltStack and so to use it as a Salt Minion you have to grab the packages from GitHub and create it yourself. Special thanks to @scottalanmiller who looked into this and Exoner4ted in the Solus community who did the research and figured out how to make this work.

Remember to change "saltmastip" to the actual IP of your salt master or handle that however makes sense for you.

cd /tmp; wget https://github.com/saltstack/salt/archive/2018.3.zip unzip 2018.3.zip; cd /tmp/salt-2018.3/ python /root/salt-2018.3setup.py install echo "saltmasterip salt" >> /etc/hosts cp /root/salt-2018.3/pkg/salt-minion.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/ systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl enable salt-minion eopkg install python-pyzmq pycrypto python-msgpack python-tornado python-jinja pyyaml systemctl restart salt-minion

Unfortunately this package is not self updating.

Once you get the initial client installed, you should be able to to push out new salt-minion packages via Salt itself, right?

Yes, but not using a repo. So you'd need to build your own installer / updater inside of a Salt state. Totally possible, but not as simple as telling it to update.

@scottalanmiller said in Dell Machines Unable to VPN Due to SmartByte Bloatware:

SmartByte, a bit of bloatware or possibly malware - certainly closer to malware than not, is shipping by default on some Dell laptops and desktops. If you are doing a clean OS install as is best practice, this bloatware will be unknown to you. But if you keep the random stuff that ships with your machine, you may run into networking problems. SmartByte has been found by Cisco (and us, now that we know about it with clients) to break network connections and specifically has been found to cause VPNs to fail to connect.

You'll need to disable, or better remove, or best do a proper, clean OS install, to get your machine able to network reliably.

None of my Dell Devices has ever come with this. Not even laptops bought through Amazon. In the past Dell and HP have had the Cisco AnnyConnect client but that is found more on home and retailers like Best Buy, Staples or such.

Then again I don’t buy Dell Inspiron (Which are the ones with SmartByte for sure)

I never run into it because I would never run a machine without doing a proper OS install, you never know what is on there. But we ran into this (and I've been ranting about how people got into the process of not doing a clean install - dealing with that separately) just now because someone had a machine that didn't get installed and, of course, terrible bloatware problems.

@wls-itguy said in Cannot SFTP into Webhost:

Your comment would work normally. However, it was an update that indeed broke the system only to have to search for the fix again on their site.

Oh my...any pointers for us here?

I have been using it for the last 3 days, seems to be stable so far.

I have not used it, I disabled it on my recent install.

@momurda said in Intel's NVMe VRoC System Now Out:

If an SSD is rated at 1DWPD for 5 years and in actual use one only uses .2DWPD, does that mean that such an ssd would nominally last 25 years barring some other catastrophic hw failure not related to the destructive nature of flash program and erase cycles?

All reliability is about chances of failure. So it’s likely to last that long.

@stess https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/platformspfe/2014/01/20/integrating-xaml-into-powershell/ look at this. It gives the basics of integrating XAML into a PowerShell script and might be right what you are looking for.

The CEO of that company is an enterprise admin. Why they have this or where they find the time to do anything on the network without breaking lots of things is beyond me. I asked about it, but was never given a valid response; moving on...

As a consultant, why would you not make a bigger deal out of that?

As a consultant, you only want to bring it up. Let them determine the level of deal that it is for them.

Glad that you figured it out.

@shuey

Ah, sorry, bad assumption on my part.

No worries - I work for one of those companies that falls outside what's probably considered the "norm" - I've been here for over 5 years so I'm pretty used to it now 😄

Are you sure it's not the same kernel bug that @JaredBusch found?

The Kernel issue is not on the ER side.

@stuartjordan said in Yealink T19PE2 FreePBX:

I personally like freepbx and will continue using it, the interface is a bit dated I must admit, but that doesn't bother me.

FreePBX interface is definitely dated. But also .... why would the interface ever matter that much? But even if it did, I've used 3CX and their interface was far worse.

@dave247 you might have a look at this thread. I think it could be useful for you.
