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.

@dustinb3403 said in ResourceSpace - DAM: Does anyone here use ResourceSpace Just curious, nothing else. Never heard of it, But was definitely worth looking into!

yum-cron and dnf-automatic do not use postfix or any other MTA. They simply open and send with a direct SMTP connection by default.

@jnaugle also worth noting, no one actually delivers PRI today, that entire market is a scam. It's actually SIP and then they translate the SIP to PRI on your network edge to make it "sound cool" for people who are out of date and remember when PRI was both still available and actually practical (early 1990s and earlier.) PRI is not nearly as powerful as SIP, nor as cheap, so phone providers long ago "all" moved to providing SIP instead (PRI isn't possible without a physical T1) and "virtualizing" PRI on top of it. All the PRI does it increase cost and lower performance, flexibility and reliability. So the best solution is to get the phone provider to stop pretending to do PRI and just give you the raw SIP. This improves your phone quality by removing unnecessary steps and limitations, removes the need for you to convert back to SIP (gateway, card, however you do it) and makes everything better for everyone. The PRI interface has no advantages, only disadvantages. It takes the better SIP, and cripples it. For people running ancient phone systems from before VoIP, SIP isn't possible, so these terrible PRI interfaces are useful for them to continue to be able to hook up those ancient phone systems while still being able to connect to current phone companies. They aren't totally useless, but they are useful only for that one terrible niche case.

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

@romo said in Remote Connect/Support Tools for Fedora, Windows, OS X: Seems really interesting with the monitoring and the ability to have custom alerts. @FATeknollogee How has the testing been going? Haven't done much more than my OP. I plan to do some more testing over the weekend. My main goal is to find a ScreenConnect replacement.

@dafyre said in Ethernet link going down and then up after 3 seconds.: log in to the switch.... and then sho log -r That will show you the most recent entries in the log. Look for anything related to STP. I think it is: log -r -w Without the 'show'. The -w switch helps filtering out less relevant stuff.

@dustinb3403 said in CentOS 7.5 not listing ports when added to firewall-cmd: @jaredbusch Look at the OP, i have telnet listening to those ports. Ahh, didn't scroll enough.

@fateknollogee said in SaltStack setup for /etc/hosts: I remember this has been discussed on the forums sometime back when... I'd like to have a master host file & push this out to Linux & Windows servers & desktops. Anyone have a good how to guide? One more thing, you'll want to use file.managed in a State file. That way, you keep a master copy on Git and only need to edit that. Saltstack will take care of the rest and make sure all minions have that updated file. Otherwise, with salt-cp, you have to manually SSH to the salt-master server and run the command. I'd rather just update the file in VSCode, then be done with it... In your State file, you can do Linux and Windows using an If statement, having it do it one way for each OS. I use grains, os_family, etc.

I found this site to be very helpful. https://negativo17.org/bluray-playback-and-ripping-on-fedora-aacs-bd-bd-j/ There is also a libbluray-bdj package in the main fedora repo. I have no installed it yet. If the next BluRay I watch has a problem, I will maybe try those settings.

@emad-r said in Linux As File Server- Break Out From Other Thread: @scottalanmiller said in Linux As File Server- Break Out From Other Thread: @emad-r said in Linux As File Server- Break Out From Other Thread: The only down side to it, that the files will take size on their machine as well as the NC server, thats it. If you can afford this, then this is the way to go. That's purely optional. Not a given. NextCloud can be used with files purely on the server just like with SMB. Huh, how so ? you mean only via web client. If your installing the agent at somepoint it will need to sync the files to your account synced folder. That's one option, but not what I mean. You can map drives to it, too.

@phlipelder said in Use Hyper-V to replicate Linux vm file share: @scottalanmiller said in Use Hyper-V to replicate Linux vm file share: @phlipelder said in Use Hyper-V to replicate Linux vm file share: Hyper-V Replica would work in this situation with a few caveats. There is a 15 second limit on replication cycles. If the VMs are running database/active services this could be a problem. That would be handled earlier in the process by the backup job. If the backup is good, the replication won't cause an issue. If the backup is bad, the replication can't fix it, of course, but will replicate the bad backup. But the only place that this can be addressed is in the backup step, the replication is of backup files, so not at a point in the process where it matters. "Garbage in garbage out" never seems to go away. It's been the bane of our existence since the switch to image/block based backups. :S File backups suffered from this, too. Databases are just hard to back up.

@fateknollogee said in NFS Server...what to build??: @scottalanmiller said in NFS Server...what to build??: @fateknollogee said in NFS Server...what to build??: @scottalanmiller said in NFS Server...what to build??: @fateknollogee said in NFS Server...what to build??: HW is simple: 2x SSD for o/s 4 - xx SSD for NFS shares Why would you have drives for the OS? This both breaks standard storage practices AND assumes a physical install which is a 'no no'. Why would you assume a physical install ? I'm installing the hypervisor (in this case FC28) on a Raid1 array of 2x SSDs Because you stated a dedicated array for the OS, not for the hypervisor. I'm only going by what you wrote. If you wanted dedicated for the OS, you'd need it whether you had a hypervisor or not. Understood. Next time, will be more specific Since that's a lot of money to spend just for a hypervisor that isn't used, it seems much more rational to use it for an OS than a hypervisor. It's not that there is truly zero value to a dedicated HV array, but it is nearly zero. SSDs, even cheap consumer ones, aren't free. But the value is so low, they'd basically have to be.

@scottalanmiller said in NextCloud Access Is Forbidden By Server: Got it, had Nginx proxying on port 80 instead of 443. Not a big deal as it was on the back side, but it didn't like the headers. That was going to be what I told you to check had I seen this sooner. Did you look at one of my example config’s and see what was different because I also proxy this on port 80 on the backend.

@scottalanmiller said in Make a Bootable Windows 10 USB Installer from Fedora Linux: @jmoore said in Make a Bootable Windows 10 USB Installer from Fedora Linux: @phlipelder Yeah I'm a fan of Rufus on windows but like the Fedora media writer on Fedora But Fedora Media Writer on Fedora can't write Windows media. I believe @JaredBusch had a post on this a while ago. Found it https://mangolassi.it/topic/17140/create-uefi-bootable-usb-from-fedora/

@brandon220 said in How to take advantage of virtualization. Major products get updated: I plan on setting this up in the lab soon. dm-cache also sounds interesting. I've never touched software RAID because 95% of my environment has been MS for a long time. Always have gone the hw raid route. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/improving-read-performance-dm-cache Redhat did some testing with an SSD but it looks ugly. 5 passes and no performance improvement using a SSD. I suspect they are hamstrung by the patent minefield that is ARC (IBM of all people has this patent BTW) and the subsidiary cool optimizations that have been made to it (ARC was intended for CPU cache originally, your storage fun fact of the day!). Also I suspect the IO path on this thing isn't the cleanest. Looks like the Linux kernel file cache is going to be faster which if I"m using that I might as well just give memory to the guest and let it sort it out (especially with the lack of dedupe or single instancing of this cache). If your looking to speed stuff up I say get "the good stuff". We got some PMEM DIMMS in the lab, and this stuff is face melting fast. You can "bolt" it on with a DAX file system, but the best way to use it is with applications that have been redesigned to support it. We forked REDIS to support this and got latency 12x better than using local NVMe drives, and 2.8x better tha DAX. Oracle had 57x better operational latency.
