@jaredbusch said in Rescue computer with remote access: I put fedora workstation on a usb, and live booted and installed l2tp dependencies with no issue. So installing iced tea should be fine. I've worked with lots of live sessions without persistence, and never had an issue installing additional software. Granted your limited to RAM as your total storage and system operation, and any additional software installed goes away on power off/reboot. It's odd that you're having trouble installing something unless it's requiring lots of large dependencies. Your game plan is sound. Maybe they'll learn the joys of good backups?

I'm going to start using it on Windows if my Webroot issues keep up! (NOTE: these issues are not Webroot's fault, I don't think.)

If you go to their website today, you can't even get a clear picture as to the state of the project. http://one.laptop.org

I have a Monster OTG that I want to upgrade by moving to a SBC (rPiZ).. could be fun to try out.

@lakshmana Should work on any Linux.

Yes, always make the service first, any apps come last.

Then we can just link to it. It comes up all the time it seems like. There is a link to Travis' blog post but his site was down. https://travisdh1.net/lenovo Yeah, I got caught in the fun domain renewal and switch dance, gr.

@jimmy_k said in Urgent: How to fix this FreePBX Repo Access Issue?: @jimmy_k Well, I just fixed it I modified etc/resolv.conf by putting this nameserver same as DNS1 nameserver same as DNS2 That's what that script is supposed to do. If you did this, it means either you never activated the script or it is broken and will stop working again.

@scottalanmiller Wow, that must've been a 'fun' troubleshooting session.

@emad-r said in Linux NiC Bond Question: Hi, after you create linux nic bonding, do you disable the original nic adapters, so only the bond network adapter gets IP and has priority. Cause the only way I saw activity of my nm-bond interface was when I disabled the ens33 and ens34 from getting an IP, so only the bond has it. Or you keep all interfaces as is with the machine having 3 IPs, how then it will determine to use the bond IP and not others? I used rr or round robin I use only use the virtual NICs as well on Debian as well.

I have no need for it at any current client. But it is something I am well aware of as an option.

@travisdh1 bs=4k is read and writes up to bytes at a time. Spinning off of yours, this is how I write mine. sudo dd if=/home/user/Downloads/filename of=/dev/sdc bs=1M status=progress status=progress gives you a nice little progress output without having to pipe it into anything.

Have you checked the logs to see what Snap activity there has been? Any idea when these first appeared?

What desktop environment are you using on ubuntu? Gnome I’ve got 18.04 with KDE. Have you tried ubuntu Budgie 18.04? No. I only have the one 18.04 instance. Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 looks pretty nice. That's a great looking desktop.

Doesn't look bad. What kind of RAM utilization does it have?

@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!

@dbeato said in Computer Recycling: Update from ZorinOS Very nice. I've already finished with these laptops though so likely won't revisit this.

cute little bugger.

gedit is still around. I'm not surprised, just glad my first UNIX editor is still around. Yes, for all those wondering, gedit was the standard gui editor in IRIX.

@scottalanmiller said in Ubuntu 18.04 adding Minimal Install: @jaredbusch said in Ubuntu 18.04 adding Minimal Install: @dbeato said in Ubuntu 18.04 adding Minimal Install: @aaronstuder said in Ubuntu 18.04 adding Minimal Install: Seems like a good move https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/02/ubuntu-18-04-minimal-install-option I thought they had it already, I have been using the net install for a long time in Debian and Ubuntu https://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads Minimal Install != Net Install Net Install is more "Minimal Download" rather than "Minimal Install" Correct. A NetInstall is a small initial download because it installs whichever version from direct net downloads after selection. I always use the NetInstall download for Fedora/CentOS because that is the only way to get a solid "Minimal Install". But I also installed my full desktop from a NetInstall image.

@jaredbusch said in Fedora Update Breaks httpd: So, if you followed the original instructions, you can use this to fix it. sed -i "s/access\.log/httpd\/access_log/" /etc/httpd/conf.d/bookstack.conf Then start apache. systemctl start httpd As always, thanks @JaredBusch that fixed it for me as well.
