We use ghost adapters to allow EDID hi res with no head attached, I wonder if there is one that forces 640x480? I'll search around...

@IRJ said in Splunk vs iptables: iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --sport 9997 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT Looks like the solution was iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT Or at least that got it working.

@scottalanmiller said in EFI Pace Won't Start After Vault Configuration Change: Had to deal with Fiery too. I think they misspelled that name slightly. Fire that company (I know, you wish they would.)

Something in the shutdown triggers a start of a service or doesn't stop in time. Since something is still running the shutdown never completes. Looking at the screenshot for instance it says "Stopping monitoring of LVM2 mirrors, snapshots etc. using dmeventd or progress polling...". But there is no acknowledgment [OK] that it has completed. I'd start looking there.

Why? Because if your root partition fills up, your system won't boot. Having /var on separate partition reduces that risk. Think of a bad app creating gigabytes of log entries, or writing junk to database. Better solution, don't use bad apps You never know if an app or kernel update doesn't go nuts. Here's an example of bad kernel module causing writing gigs of logs in minutes: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/195360/my-var-log-is-mysteriously-filling-up-gbs-in-minutes-any-cure-before-i-re-ins Sure it's possible, but how many times do we see this sort of thing in normal use day to day? This is the first one I've heard of in years. Used to happen more often because bad programming was more common. Take Ubuntu for example, it will fill up /boot after a few kernel upgrades, so anything is possible. That's a known badly implemented system. IE bad programming. Don't use it. Also, it has nothing to do with /var filling up. It's just an example of partition filling up, doesn't matter which one. It proves the point that it does happen. In your example, they are causing a new problem because they've implemented your solution to the problem. No, it would've had the same outcome if /boot wasn't on separate partition, but under root. Eventually it would've filled up entire disk with old kernel versions. The main point is to prevent root partition from filling up, not any other mount point. That's not really true. That's making a lot of assumptions. In reality... It would not likely ever fill up. The scales are so different. This is where creating a separate /boot actually CREATES the risk. The very pattern you are trying to follow is the one causing the issue. It has lots and lots of chances for humans AND monitoring systems to catch and resolve it long before becoming an issue. This should have years, typically, to be flagged rather than filling up in a day or two.

@aaronstuder said in Install Jitsi-Meet on Debian 9 minimal: @JaredBusch care to elaborate? It's working for me. No, because it has all been posted. between here and my other thread.

Wow this must be an old server. pam_tally was replaced with faillock in RHEL 6.

@dustinb3403 said in Phoronix Publishes Windows vs. Linux Network Benchmarks: That is surprisingly disappointing. Server 2016 is supposedly the best thing ever. . . Of course it is, if you get paid to support it!

@black3dynamite said in Do we dislike Ubuntu: @nadnerb ElementaryOS is nice but you might not like the idea of not able to save items to your Desktop. Deepin is pretty good too. Just not on by default. You can enable it... http://www.fosslinux.com/141/how-to-enable-adding-files-and-folders-to-desktop-in-elementary-os-freya.htm

@emad-r said in Installing Debian 9.1 minimal: @jaredbusch I love Debian very customized 20 + installation steps... said no one ever. I like options. It's not like you're going to go through all 20 steps for every installation once you have a base image setup, at least I'd hope not.

@Dashrender said in Cross Post - Help sorting out a Firewall Issue on a Debian Box: A default gateway on the debian box? My thought. I don't think I've seen a system firewall not accept icmp by default. If you stop iptables and still can't ping it's not the firewall.

My Linux is better than your Linux.

One thing I noticed working here is that the VM's are not named the host names. I looked for it for hours across all of our subdomains and could not find it. I had to go through each individual VM and eventually found it. We still have some old Unix white beards that do this. It annoys the crap out of me. He just set up a server and called it Odin..... That's all fine and good as long as odin.mydomain.net actually resolves to that actual server, lol. Ya it just annoys me ha. Everything else is named by purpose. Our one server... it got names Zues. Of course we knew it was going to be just the 1 server for the foreseeable future. If you must use Planets, Greek gods, Mythical creatures, et al... Please make sure they are pselled correctly to avoid further confusion. I don't understand the reason to do that over function. I'd much rather name a server WDS01 then Ptah01.

That's where I was headed a year ago with this issue.

Not confirmed yet, but I'll post when I know. Thanks From what I can tell, yes it worked. That's both the no sleep and no login password required.

Yeah, it's is a multi-tenant system so it needs info about individual organizations that will be handled by the system. Threw me too. OK well now I'm even more lost. Internal Calls context I took to mean the extensions of the phones in your facility - OK pretty straight forward, you're allowing for extensions 1000-2000, but what are InCalls Context? I have no idea what that even means? Inbound calls and outbound calls respectively. Context is an Asterisk term.

Remember, the issue is NOT a violation of the ZFS licensing, it is a violation (supposedly) of the Linux licensing. It is Linux being violated, not ZFS according to the FSF.

Codename: Init Freedom

I think Landscape does this plus a lot more. I think it's free for 10 physical and 10 virtual machines, but I don't know the cost after that. There are some Juju charms that you can create a Landscape setup with pretty easily.

@scottalanmiller said: For home laptop use (non-gaming) be sure to check out PC-BSD. It's screaming fast, super stable and very responsive. In this particular article it was a solid, but not fastest, performer in the transcoding benchmarks they ran, which were about as close to web serfing and video watching. PC-BSD is the fastest bar none if you're compiling software or iops intensive workloads.

That's what I felt like, a full decade!! I really did feel like it was brand new when I started at CitiGroup, just a couple weeks before that. I was managing OF systems then.

Well... plug-in downloaded source, compiled, installed and activated. In "Setting/Plugins" I can see now the "backup-reports" and "transport-email" plugins. I made some simple test with "Backup Jobs" and all seems ok. Thanks guys.
