@rhya said in alternative way to copy stuff with read access: I am using fedora 22. Fedora 31 is current. F22 is insanely ancient.

@Francesco-Provino said in Nu Shell, a New PowerShell-inspired Shell for Linux: Nice, but why use this when we have the real PowerShell for Linux? Performance probably. And ease of use. And while PS is on Linux, does it process any Linux data in this way?

I could even VM those, right? or no? - Forgive the newbness, but I'm thinking a Desktop and then run a VM Boxes with server OS's to do what @Dashrender is saying and thoughts on which ones to try. Boxes is weird, but yes. Throw Fedora or Ubuntu onto a laptop or desktop, install KVM, and virtualize anything that you want. You get a fully functional, and gorgeous desktop environment, but can test any server OS or alternative desktop OS that you like. sounds like the likely chose.. I know they're out there; anyone got the link for the guides? for installing KVM ; I'll start another list of projects that I'm going to work on and go from there https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-kvm-on-fedora/ Did I not have a guide here on ML? For KVM on Fedora? Don't recall one. Apparently not. I just did some searching, and it is mostly posts and screenshots of the various things in other people's threads.

@IRJ said in Doublecheck the Security of Your Linux: Just a couple notes from the article: You cannot set a bootloader password for AWS or other cloud services Apt Armor is specific to Ubuntu / Debian. SELinux is used on RHEL / CentOS / Fedora AppArmor is default on SUSE as well. And you can run SELinux on Debian / Ubuntu if you want. BTW, AppArmor just replaced SELinux as default on Debian 10. So that was only a couple of months ago.

Thanks for the reply, the issue is that sanoid.conf does not send the snapshot to the usb but syncoid does, or does having that template automatic prune the snapshots?

Hi, I found the problem also mentioned here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/dp8xvj/issues_with_the_kernel53x_series/ I don't know if the problem is known by the kernel upstream... Regarding Fedora updates, I always run it manually from the command line, so I just enter: dnf upgrade -x kernel*

@black3dynamite said in Ubuntu Updates to 19.10: @Emad-R It's all great having numbers and visual aid to show results but will you really notice the difference when using Ubuntu compare Debian, assuming you are using the same desktop environment? That's the tough comparison. Ubuntu has more features and a different desktop. I specifically like Ubuntu's desktop. So going to Debian I'd likely modify it to the point of being Ubuntu, lol.

@Obsolesce said in City of Munich Moving to Closed Source Software: It looks like the whole issue was due to their use of some weird distro years ago. That article technically doesn't say why they need Windows now, so for all I know they have some new weird requirements I don't know about, but assuming they don't, I think the decision to go to Windows is a horrible idea. They'd be much better off going to Ubuntu instead. Yes I upvoted a post about how Ubuntu would be better than an alternative. Please no heart attacks people.

@wirestyle22 usually they are stored in /usr/local/bin that is why you can run them anywhere

@Obsolesce said in UREs Strike InnoDB on MySQL: @scottalanmiller said in UREs Strike InnoDB on MySQL: @Pete-S said in UREs Strike InnoDB on MySQL: Step one is to remove the drives and clone them with dd or recovery tool to a new drive. You could probably recover 99.9% of the data - if you want. As you can guess from all of their previous issues, they don't want to pay for any recovery, they just want it magically fixed for free. They don't own any storage onto which to clone it, either. Then what is the point of any of it? It appears to have zero value to the business. I said that to them.

@black3dynamite No change, still getting a blank connection. Just a black session.

I can't read the phrase "kernel panic" without thinking of this tune: Youtube Video

No dice just yet, finishing a beer and headed home. Going to see if this can get resolved tomorrow.

@Pete-S Ok, I went ahead and let the installer partition it using the defaults for LVM. Everything is working! The installer creates a small primary partition and installs /boot to it. It then creates an extended partition with the remainder of the drive and slices up logicals out of that for the LVM. It puts “/“ in vg1 as “lv root” and puts /swap in vg1 as well as lv swap”. I was not creating a /boot. Never have. I was just creating a primary for the “/“ and then saving some of it for an extended /swap. I’ve done this forever. It even works in a VM. I have no idea why I couldn’t get it to work on the physical machine.

@dafyre said in PATH Error with TimeScaleDB-Tune on Fedora 30: then why are you even using it? Capacity Planning, for example.

So how we did it the last place I worked. We used a mix of X2Go, X-11 forwarding/MobaXTerm, and RDP. It depended on the user as to how they wanted to do it. RDP gave them a full desktop since X2Go couldn't any longer on GNOME 3. X2Go gave them just applications from a menu to pick. People who were used to the cli used X-11 forwarding because it's what they were used to.

This is the provider I use to clone KVM guests with Terraform https://github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt

@scottalanmiller said in Tracking Down Ubuntu BASH Session Closing: @matteo-nunziati said in Tracking Down Ubuntu BASH Session Closing: @scottalanmiller said in Tracking Down Ubuntu BASH Session Closing: If I use zsh, I'm good. If I enter BASH from zsh, I get kicked out after several seconds. Definitely is something to do with BASH. Stupid tryout: use bash and then enter zsh before being kicked out. Still out? To understand if it is the firing of bash itself or the stay in bash... No, the underlying bash remains until the ZSH closes. Same as if you were running top from it, for example. So basically bash is able to run long running jobs with your user... It's the interactivity with the shell to be broken... Meh. Sorry the thread is long, did you mention any test from zsh with: Bash <-- ok this kills the session Bash -i any difference??? Bash -l ??? bash --norc bash --noprofile From bashman page

@wrx7m said in Configure Nginx as Reverse Proxy for ScreenConnect to Enable Lets Encrypt: Less to that than I thought there would be. It's surprisingly simple and basic. It's really just passing one port to another, and using SSL. About the most basic setup you can have.

I went to MicroCenter tonight and was looking at laptops. I had a salesperson ask what I was looking for. I got a strange look when I said I wanted W10 Home cause it would get wiped anyway. I don't think she thought I was serious.

It is also a free trial weekend for the game on Steam, for anyone wanting to fire it up and see what they think.

I've been using Duplicati where I need a standalone backup of a thing. Web based management interface makes it super simple to manage.

To add to this- I have an error that started appearing after updating their Fedora 29 and 30 instances. Further testing found that the error appears in different regions using their server type template installers or even a custom iso option that I used with net install. All I have to do is deploy, run dnf update and reboot. The error is present in every boot after the update. https://mangolassi.it/topic/19903/fedora-29-and-30-edac-skx-can-t-get-tolm-tohm-error-on-vultr

Vultr got back to me last week with an email - "Hello, We apologize for the delayed response to this ticket, while we investigated this matter further. We are continuing to review our OS template and application images, and should be applying comprehensive changes across all available deploy images in the near future. Your continued patience and understanding is appreciated in the meantime. If you have any followup questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out."
