I just did it. The guide still applies, apart from getting 15 and not 13.

@stacksofplates said in Grub Entries cleanup and maintenance: @travisdh1 said in Grub Entries cleanup and maintenance: @DustinB3403 You never touch grub yourself. You let the system take care of it for you when it adds or removes kernels. As to removing old kernels, it depends on the distribution you use. A good distro just takes care of this for you. The annoying ones make you do it manually. RedHat/CentOS/Fedora = automatically cleans up older kernels. You don't do anything and it will keep a sane number by default. I think it's 4 and a recovery option. Debian/Ubuntu = keeps all kernels till you manually remove them. I forget offhand what the command is besides it's an option for apt. This is one reason I'm happily moving things from the old rental box to my new server for my home lab. The old rental box has Ubuntu with a tiny little 256MB /boot partition. It can keep ~3 kernels, and that's it, ugh! You can install without /boot. IIRC there is a other config change with unattended-upgrades to auto remove kernels. You normally can, yes. Since my current home lab box is a rental, I could only choose from the options they gave me at the time. Today, they'd let you use your own iso, but still wouldn't recommend them for anything other than a test lab.

@FATeknollogee said in Fedora 29 Server (or 28) install is stuck...?: Update... There is definitely something wrong with this mb. I have the 6 core version X10SDV-6C and Fedora 29 installs with no errors! Ah, awesome. Might just be a hardware error. Interesting.

@Emad-R IOPS varies wildly by how it is tested. The question for your Windows tests would be... how was it tested? We know how the Linux was tested, it tells us. Knowing how the Windows was tested is the real need at this point.

@flaxking said in vTigerCRM Installation - Troubleshooting: Is SuiteCRM's Cases feature decent? Not a sales guy, not sure how it is.

I've run Pi-Hole in Docker, now I have it on Raspbian on Rpi 3+, I might deploy it inside Docker Swarm on my Rpi cluster at some point. I'm also trying out alternative, Adguard Home, on Rpi too, although installation is not as straightforward as Pi-Hole.

The dashboard has a pretty graph you can use to see what is going on at a high level.

@StorageNinja said in Why I Feel KVM Is the Easiest HyperVisor to Learn the Basics On: @Dashrender said in Why I Feel KVM Is the Easiest HyperVisor to Learn the Basics On: The question is - why is the quality so bad? Isn't the process supposed to catch bad quality? Their process is consider the windows insider group (extreme power users) to be a good enough replacement for proper QE teams, and writing automated build tests. Right, the new process isn't to catch bad things, it's actually to see bad things as "not all that bad." Presumably because a shift from viewing their products as being for business to being for entertainment. Remember when Windows 95 was a key tool for businesses, but by Windows 98 they had made sure to put a "for entertainment purposes only" label on the product to make sure no one confused it with something that was intended for business use? I feel like that's where they are now. At least internally, no one is really thinking of this as a business tool.

@dbeato said in Zimbra Update Fails with Validating LDAP Configuration, Cannot Create TLS Connection to LDAP Masters: @scottalanmiller said in Zimbra Update Fails with Validating LDAP Configuration, Cannot Create TLS Connection to LDAP Masters: So it worked by rebooting. WTF Weird. Very

Good to know, I use Ubuntu/Debian so I will check for that.

Sorry, ignore me. I got this figured out. I was being really dumb and had the wrong config.json file open and didn't know what I was looking at. Just ignore. Yes, the socket.io settings were missing, but were on my screen so I was sure that they were there.

@dafyre said in Fedora 29 Apache HTTPD Keeps Adding ssl.conf: Have you tried creating a blank ssl.conf file and then chmod +i ssl.conf ? I've not, but that's such a hockie way of doing it, I was hoping not to.

@scottalanmiller said in KVM with Cockpit on Fedora 29 Network Type Options Greyed Out: When building a new VM using Cockpit's web interface to KVM on Fedora 29, the Network Type option leaves most options like Bridge to LAN, Generic ethernet connections, and Direct attachment greyed out. Anyone know why? Did you try with network manager? Any missing package?

@dbeato said in NodeBB Setup Error on Amazon Linux: @scottalanmiller said in NodeBB Setup Error on Amazon Linux: I love how we get an npm command not found error... while running NPM! Are the NPM binaries linked or in /usr/bin? # which npm /root/.nvm/versions/node/v8.13.0/bin/npm

@scottalanmiller said in NPM Errors on NodeBB Install on Amazon Linux: @DustinB3403 said in NPM Errors on NodeBB Install on Amazon Linux: Have you tried as root? Everything was done as root. Amazon is all root by default. yeah, the default user for centos is centos with your KMS or privatekey they create. For Ubuntu is Ubuntu.

Command was... nvm use 0.10.8, as it was already installed here, just not in use.

So how much weed will be in the next release then?

@scottalanmiller said in Microsoft to Launch Linux Version of Sysinternals: @StuartJordan said in Microsoft to Launch Linux Version of Sysinternals: ...it would still probably be less than windows though because you need to elevate privileges on Linux and we all know most people run with admin privileges on windows. That's not related to Linux vs. NTKernel (the Windows Kernel.) They are essentially identical there. You are seeing "common approaches from the userbase" and perceiving that behaviour as being caused by the kernel code, but it is not. Run Windows uses on a Linux-based OS and they will behave the same as they always did. Put Linux-based OS users on Windows and they are secure. It's the userbase, not the product, that has that effect. Windows is just as much "need elevated privileges to run" as any highly secure Linux distro, but Windows end users are way more likely to work around that, and be accepting of third party products that demand it. Port the Windows desktop to Linux, literally nothing will change, because those users will come along with it. I suppose I was meaning the userbase more then the actual kernel in that statement.

Nice, for ten dollars I'd be happy to pick one up just to play around with. That's certainly in the silly money range.

@black3dynamite said in Red Hat Discontinuing KDE in RHEL and CentOS: @travisdh1 said in Red Hat Discontinuing KDE in RHEL and CentOS: @scottalanmiller said in Red Hat Discontinuing KDE in RHEL and CentOS: @travisdh1 said in Red Hat Discontinuing KDE in RHEL and CentOS: @black3dynamite Aha! They both did it! Yes, I have a thing about an entire desktop worth of space getting forced down into one little bar, and the menu being at least 2 clicks deeper than it was. Why is the menu deeper? I don't prefer this setup either, but it's no deeper. It's still a button on the desktop for me. Because as the admin/geek, everything I want/need to use is a submenu of the all programs menu. Granted I mostly just favorite a terminal emulator and be done with it, but it is much farther to move around and menus for me to get through. Give me Cinnamon with a hotkey set for the menu any day. As long as the search function works, I usually find what I need by searching for it. ^ this

@matteo-nunziati said in How can I build this displaylink driver for fedora 29: @JaredBusch said in How can I build this displaylink driver for fedora 29: I have a standard Dell USB dock but want to use it with a Fedora 29 user. https://github.com/displaylink-rpm/displaylink-rpm That repo has a pull request in for the Fedora 29 updates, but I figured I could build it early for testing. Also I want to get more familiar with doing this on Linux in general. I have no *devel bits installed on my system. Obviously, I can clone it down and run make, but I wonder if I need any other resources? Inside the "ci" folder there is a script to let fedora downlad everything and compile via makefile That did it.

I haven't got to muck around with Netplan yet...

@gjacobse said in Security while Traveling -: Could something like this or similar be supplemental? Seems pretty silly. So here is the question.... What threat do you perceive there being? How do you feel this device addresses that thread? I don't really see any threat in the first place, and so that makes it extra hard to know how to assuage your fears. But how this device is supposed to help, I'm really unsure.

@jaredbusch said in Error While Updating Ubuntu 18.04 to 18.10: Always reboot before doing system updates, IMO. It was freshly powered up just to do the update. So it was.

@jaredbusch said in FusionPBX Install Error on CentOS 7: @fateknollogee said in FusionPBX Install Error on CentOS 7: Just emailed Mark at Fusion. He said "Yes, the official FusionPBX install script works fine with Debian 9 and Freeswitch 1.8." So outdated documentation? Or what? Seems like just one page of it wasn't updated. The rest was.

If you want to exit the SQLite command line shell, the command is dot exit... .exit

@manxam said in Dumb question - linux dd write 0s to multiples disks at once: @stacksofplates : Now you're just showing off Ha I didn't mean for it to look like that, but you did make me realize I made a mistake so I'll have to fix it. Make has a lot of uses outside of jsut building software. It's a pretty awesome utility.

@obsolesce said in Fedora 28 KVM Cockpit Doesn't Show All VMs: Everyone is always waiting for someone else to report bugs and issues, that's why they take so long to get fixed. Not as bad with FOSS, but a big reason with MS for example. But I don't know that it is a bug. It's reasonable that it might be, but it's just one possibility.

Because I'm annoying and like things that are text based I like graphviz. However if you want some really nice looking stuff I've used cloudcraft.co. It's AWS specific but has blank shapes as well.
