The most effective meetings are the ones that you don't have. - Quote (by me)

Turns out it is an App Armor restriction that Unity hasn't mentioned anywhere in their documentation even though we are at LEAST two releases into this problem. The fix is simple, but should be part of the install docs.

This is the error for the search engines:

No usable sandbox! Update your kernel or see Chromium Docs - Linux SUID Sandbox Development 48 for more information on developing with the SUID sandbox. If you want to live dangerously and need an immediate workaround, you can try using --no-sandbox.

To Test:

sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0

And then for the real fix: /etc/sysctl.d/unity.conf

kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0

But my CEO always needs help with EVERYTHING

Reading about trusts between Red Hat Identity Management and Active Directory.

YOu'll enjoy this... So a mutual old customer of ours (wink wink) that fired us over three years ago because we made it obvious that their new CEO was laundering, called us to beg for us to rebuild their infrastructure because they've not maintained anything for three years (even though money flows to an MSP every month AND they have a whole internal IT team now) and they don't know how to get their servers online. They literally called to ask us HOW TO SIGN IN to the servers that THEY have "maintained" with TWO companies for THREE years. LOL

We said sure, but I don't think you are in our billing system anymore (we already wrote down the $38K that they stole from us), we just need to set that up. And they literally acted shocked that they'd have to PAY us to do their jobs for them. They actually thought that we'd do all the work of their IT department, that they happily pay two organizations to not do already, for free!

@IThomeboy80 said in Proxmox os backup and restore:

Restore:

Log in to the Proxmox web interface.

Select the node or server where you want to restore the backup.

That's for restoring VMs, not ProxMox. By the time you have this interface available, you've already restored ProxMox.

@IThomeboy80 said in Proxmox os backup and restore:

Note: It is essential to follow the backup and restore process carefully to avoid data loss or system failure. Always test the backup and restore process before performing it on a production system.

Actually, it should have no data loss. No data should ever be stored outside of the VM files.

So what is the best way to setup a single pve so that we can backup and restore the os. I have not been able to backup and restore using clonezilla. Maybe the proxmox backup server ? Any ideas and answers will be appreciated

Thanks
Ronney

Just for my own clarification, are you saying you want to backup/restore the Proxmox system?

Yeah, that's what he is doing.

@ronneyb So the main question is... why would you want to? There isn't much documentation on this because it's not generally considered a good thing to do. You normally just want to reinstall fresh.
