@Pete-S said in RHEL 8 is out!: If you missed it Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 was released a couple of days ago. https://www.redhat.com/en/enterprise-linux-8 Hopefully CentOS 8 will be soon to follow. They have a timeline on their site.

@FATeknollogee said in oVirt Host Choices for Production: @EddieJennings I would start by using oVirt Node (it's based on CentOS), it's the simplest, least hassled way of setting up. Yeah, they have their own Node deployer, I'd generally just use that.

@Emad-R said in Installing MS SQL Server Express on CentOS: Et me guess it is much faster on Linux than on Windows server No idea, but it is one less Windows Server license needed. Also MS SQL Server Express works well for many tasks.

@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.

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

@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

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

@jaredbusch said in How to use a systemd timer instead of cron to automate a git pull: Oh look I just found this posted here already /sigh.. So many questions I could have not asked of @stacksofplates, had I recalled this thread. https://mangolassi.it/topic/13455/systemd-timers-instead-of-cron I honestly forgot I posted that.

@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

Kind of interesting, handy to have a simple way to get real RHEL, I guess.

Has potential, has anyone played with it in any way yet?

Just installed on CentOS 7.6 with XFS. Still flawless install.

talking about number of packages, this has always been my reference: http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/ if a distro has it packaged it is quite sure they have anything both debian and suse have it.

We ran into this issue last week with several legacy applications we soon hope to commit to the bone yard...

@gjacobse said in Managing Multiple Linux Servers via the Browser with Cockpit: I haven't read the article yet,... but would be nice if it is available on Windows - However, that said. I can just set up a VM and run there.... I don't do a massive amount of managing Linux Servers, but sometimes it would be helpful.. Not even on most Linux yet.

Oops.

Just as a comparison, here's what it would look like with Ansible: name: Recursively own html files file: path: /var/www/html owner: apache group: apache state: directory recurse: yes

@matteo-nunziati said in Anacron Jobs on a CentOS 7 Server: @JaredBusch well never considered the workload on servers. I don't know how they manage it! maybe not so many use unattended upgraqdes in debian. I definitely feel like Ubuntu users don't keep their systems as up to date

/proc/version usually has pertinent information across most systems. Edit: I looked closer. It's just the OS name (RHEL/Ubuntu) and kernel version. Never mind.

So that is where we are now. A missing package, unclear documentation and yum unable to resolve dependencies for some of the remaining packages. As the support community showed no interest in Kopano being used in production and actually got angry that we wanted to, we decided to halt here. But there is the documentation in case anyone runs into this and wants to pursue it further.

Planning to test this out soon.

@thwr said in Fedora Server for production use?: @stacksofplates said in Fedora Server for production use?: @thwr said in Fedora Server for production use?: Interesting: Fedora 25 starts to panic with RAM < 512MB at the beginning of the kernel init phase, even in text mode. Just had a look at the manual which clearly says that Fedora requires 1GB of RAM. Looks like I'm out of luck and have to stick to Ubuntu / Debian. Another thing to note is with RHEL/CentOS 7.3 they recommend a 1GB boot partition instead of 512MB. Just an aside. Should work as long as you keep an eye on it. Ubuntu for example likes to keep old kernel and initrd images there until you clean them up (e.g. apt autoclean etc) Ya I usually keep 3 and remove the others but I think the images are getting big enough they needed to adjust the size. If you do anew install it defaults to 1GB.
