My wife and son is finally discharged and we are heading home.

Supported on: Debian 5.0, Ubuntu 8.x, CentOS 5.0, Fedora 10, Slackware and Gentoo, both 32 and 64-bit platforms.

Nobody should be using those old versions. They should really change that or just don't add the release version.

@wrcombs said in Windows Firewall:

Im generally curious, Why does Windows Firewall block communication between Point of Sales Terminals, and the Back office PC?
Example: we had a Site call in that their Credit Cards wouldnt Process, and they were having problem settling the Credit Card batch from the previous day. Someone thought they were helping and turned on Windows firewall on the Terminal that was set as "master"
With windows firewall blocking communication between the 2 points Their Credit Cards were creating mock transaction stored on the Terminal set as "master" for the amount they were supposed to pay,
Turning windows firewall off on the terminal allowed the processing of the cards to flow as it should.

Im just wondering why , if anybody knows, Windows Firewall would stop the program from communicating?

We supply Firewalls to every site because we turn windows firewall off, So we protect the sites as much as possible with configured firewalls from the office. ( I think we use Sonic Walls, I dont make the rules guys, Im just a tech). Im only asking because im curious if there is an answer out there.
Thanks

I never turn off Windows Firewall even when I have an edge firewall. The same goes for Linux too.

@gjacobse said in Running 3d Scanner on Ubuntu:

Looking to help out another with some searching on an issue he's having with his 3d Scanner.

Original software was written for Ubuntu 14, but is suppose to work with release 16. However, he has not been able to get it to do so.
The 3dScanner he is using is here, and reports per the documents that 16.04 will work.

However - when he tries to install it, he gets:

Err:21 http://ppa.launchpad.net/bqlabs/horus/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
404 Not Found

He has been able to re-install Thusty 14.04, but of course that is not ideal - it's an old release.

While I have not had the time to go through the documents completely as of yet, I thought I would go ahead and ask and see if anyone can spot the issue without to much digging.

TIA -

The only distro listed here shows devel, trusty, vivid and wily.

Try using this instead.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bqlabs/horus-dev
sudo apt-get update

Which firewall profile is active? Its possible that it was set up and working on private but then the profile was switched to public.

Non-Persistent Option

# Force apt-get to use IPv4
apt-get -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true update

# Force apt-get to use IPv6
apt-get -o Acquire::ForceIPv6=true update

Persistent Option

# /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99force-IPv4or6
sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99force-IPv4or6 <<EOF
Acquire::ForceIPv4 "true";
EOF

# If you are using the persistent option, you can switch between IPv4 or IPv6 by changing 4 and 6

# This is how you change them using sed
# IPv4 to IPv6
sudo sed -i 's/ForceIPv4/ForceIPv6/' /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99force-ipv4or6

# IPv6 to IPv4
sudo sed -i 's/ForceIPv6/ForceIPv4/' /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99force-ipv4or6

# To confirm the changes
cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99force-ipv4or6

Improvements to remote command execution. This week the remote command execution dialog box was improved so that you can specify if a command must be run as the mesh agent, or run as the currently logged in user on the primary console if a user is logged in. This is super useful since you can now launch an application on your user’s desktop remotely. For example, run “notrepad.exe” as the logged in users and notepad will launch on the user’s desktop.

Printers going down.

This is how I feel every time. EVERY TIME!

Since I'm using KVM on Fedora Workstation I needed to add a isolated interface so I can access my VM from the host. First of all loopback interface was the only thing in /etc/network/interfaces.

I thought something was broken so I added my ens3 (macvtap-bridge) and ens4 (isolated) interfaces.

And then none of commands that we normally would use was not available.
After doing some Google-fu, I found out that Ubuntu Server 17.10 uses NetPlan to manage the network configuraton now.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Netplan

The configuration in /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml looks this.

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# For more information, see netplan(5).
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    ens3:
      dhcp4: yes
    ens4:
       dhcp4: yes

The supported renderers are NetworkManager NetworkManager and systemd-networkd networkd.

The following commands is available to generate and apply the configuration.

# Use /etc/netplan to generate the required configuration for the renderers.
sudo netplan generate

# Apply all configuration for the renderers, restarting them as necessary.
sudo netplan apply

# Attempt to generate an equivalent configuration to what is specified in /etc/network/interfaces.
sudo netplan ifupdown-migrate

Learned something new with ssh.

ssh -t hostname 'sudo reboot'

Using option -t makes it possible for me to get a prompt to enter my password when using the sudo command. Without -t , you end up getting this: sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

If you trying to update composer dependencies using sudo -u apache php composer.phar dump or sudo -u apache php composer.phar install --prefer-source.

You might end up getting a message saying...
Cannot create cache directory /usr/share/httpd/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, or directory is not writable. Proceeding without cache

Cannot create cache directory /usr/share/httpd/.composer/cache/files/, or directory is not writable. Proceeding without cache

You can fix this by creating the directory and change the owner to apache.

mkdir /usr/share/httpd/.composer
chown -R apache:apache /usr/share/httpd/.composer

My wife’s enchiladas.

Zabbix is another option.

HaHa! Now if only you didn't have to fix it.

Yeah, AND now I just found out that my wife took EVERY car and or car keys with her when she took the kids to the arcade! I have no vehicle!

It's Uber time

And here I was hoping the title says "Ansible for Linux MS SQL Server".
