Does the VM I want to work from need to be offline?

When attaching the disk? yes.

why? You can add new disks to VMWare while a VM is running without any issues. I'm pretty sure you can attach a pre-existing partition as well.

You can do the same in XenServer. At least with Windows as the guest. I haven't tried it with Linux.

You can't however do this if the source drive is running on a separate VM. (That VM must be powered off).

Which is what I did in order to do this.

Right, unless you unmount the source drive first. I don't even think VMWare can reliably do this.

VMware can do it reliably on its side, but it would still hose the data inside the drive.

Right, unless it's a cluster aware OS and Filesystem.

Just cluster aware filesystem. GFS2, OCFS, VxFS would all work fine.

@Mike-Davis Interesting. The note file creation was what tipped it off for me at my last company.

Alpha on Linux running fine here.

Well, since going to 7.25.106 I've not had any issues.

send us a screen shot so we can tell you it's just you 😛

Can't reply to a thread when a theme is applied.

I was really enjoying the better readability but having to switch theme to default, close all tabs, force close chrome/Firefox, reopen ML and reply to topic is a very long winded way of doing things

@travisdh1 Zabbix is a monitoring solution you're probably thinking of another product, probably Zentyal I would guess.

I bet you're right. I think it's a good thing I wasn't trying to fix things Friday, I would've just made things much worse!

"I'll jus treinstall Zabbix here and get everything back up and... hey what the crap is this?!"

No hack. Nathan found multiple security issues and flaws in the way imgur's development environment was set up. He reported this to imgur and says he has been rewarded for reporting the bugs / flaws by imgur's CEO and received at least 5,500 USD as a bounty.

BTW, the second half is a good read 🙂

Didn't you go to bed already?

Said nothing about sleeping 😉

Well, this conversation devolved even quicker than normal for us.... Imgur being hacked, to being in bed but not sleeping, 100% certain that the two should not be combined 😉

When it rains....

sovled? no, is it a real issue, not really.

I still need to upgrade to Exchange 2016, now that WIndows 10 upgrade and my vacation is behind me.. I can look into this.

Has this one reached a conclusion? Should we close it out?

Well then, another one bites the dust.

I have seen the video previously. Hilarious, watching it again now haha.

Thanks. Marked as solved.

@Kelly said in OpenSSH installed, but cannot use SCP:

Ok, I can now copy. Thanks for all the help. I have learned a lot in just this one issue.

Cool, just realized that this was solved. So marking it as such. Thanks.

Has this been sufficiently answered at this point? Or should we provide more info?

Checking in on this one, is this one ready to be closed out? Is there any additional information to be included?

@RoopanKumar
Were you able to resolve your Excel issue?

I'm going to assume so and close this one out.

Last I heard it still doesn't have all the functionality of the non-hosted version. Still, if you can live without the features that it doesn't have, then it's a good option. Also consider some of the alternatives like Freshbooks.

I've heard that recently as well. Lots of limitations that you would not expect.

Yeah I used to work at Intuit so I was pretty familiar with both products. QBO was a complete rewrite, which is good because the QB codebase is 30 years old, but bad in that you have to play catchup with the features and the dev/support efforts.

How long is it taking to catch up? Isn't that like a decade?

It's like Zeno's Paradox

Yes, ERLs run VyOS.

For the record, EdgeOS is not VyOS. It is its own fork of Vyatta.

For the record, I did learn that since the original post and knew that now 🙂

Just clarifying for Google's sake.

Confirmed that this is working on Linux Mint 18.
