@EddieJennings using virt-builder and virt-install together is another nice option to create Linux VMs and its easy to script it too.

I wonder how long before LMDE will be Linux Mint developers main focus? Isn't LMDE their backup plan in case Canonical do something so drastic that forces Linux Mint to switch to LMDE?

During the install, Target Harddisk should show you /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. The default filesystem is ext4. Now if you want to raid those to drives during the install, you can click Options, click the drop-down next to Filesystem and select either zfs (Raid1) or zfs (RAIDZ-1) or other RAID(Z).

I’m a big fan of Snipe-IT. You can enable multiple companies support. You can then restrict assets and users to those companies.

Another option is GLPI (https://glpi-project.org) but it does a lot more like tickets.

Also Ubuntu sucks.

But why?

The added complexity of Debian is my main one. I used to be annoyed by their hang-up on always having to type sudo for anything that needed root access, but Ansilble, Salt, etc have really made that a thing of the past.

Too much work to switch to root?

@WLS-ITGuy said in Fedora 33 upgrade time:

Is there a reason for the Fedora preference?

s it more stable than CentOS, Debian, or Ubuntu?

Do you use it mixed with other OS's as to what each situation calls for?

For Desktops, I preferred Fedora (The best Vanilla GNOME3 experience for me) and then Ubuntu/Pop!OS.

For servers, I preferred Fedora over CentOS because it’s easier to keep up with latest packages and to upgrade the OS with minimal impact of packages breaking.

I preferred Fedora over Ubuntu/Debian because I’m more comfortable with it. But I will use Ubuntu or Debian if I need to.

Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, and Debian have been pretty stable for me. It usually the combinations of packages, repo and upgrades that sometimes cause stability issues.

I will doing a clean install on main desktop. I'm still debating about sticky with Fedora or going with Pop!OS for the computer connected to my bedroom TV.

Had to switch back to Cinnamon from Deepin - dock issues!

I am giving Gnome (the default) a go. Been a few weeks now on my laptop.

A couple of Gnome plugins related to the status bar and I’m good to go.

I’ve worked out the only major issue I found so far. Which was really not major. Just Flameshot would not work right.

I thought you've always been a Cinnamon guy!
I guess I can always check out Gnome, doesn't hurt!

I would suggest trying out Pop!OS when it comes GNOME3, Fedora is pretty close to vanilla version GNOME3.

My experience with Flameshot on Gnome is that it works great after installing the Kstatusnotifieritem/appindicator support plugin and if you use Xorg instead Wayland display server.

You can trying using auditd to audit the file.

sudo apt-get install auditd

Running sudo auditctl -l by default show no rules

Create a temporary rule to audit changes to index.php

sudo auditctl -w /var/www/html/index.php -p rwxa
# -p = read, write, execute, attributes

Run sudo auditctl -l will show the rule that was created.
Now run sudo ausearch -f index.php | more to show what's touching index.php
or sudo tail -f /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep index.php.

Finally extended the Root partition on my FreePBX, which has been giving me hourly emails for being at 78% capacity for like the past year... :man_facepalming: Nice to have my email back in check lol

You could not do any cleanup? The email threshold is 75% I believe.

I've been doing cleanup for a while and that would usually buy me a week or two without the onslaught of emails. The last updates I did pushed me up to 78% though. Not sure why I only gave it 15GB to start with, so another facepalm there.

Unless a system has some stupid large requirements, I go with 64GB minimum for the OS drive / root partition.

64 GB is my preferred minimum too.

@flaxking check if “Delete cached copies of roaming profiles” is configured.

@flaxking said in Roaming Profiles killing local copy:

Just wondering if any of you with more experience with Roaming Profiles can explain this behaviour.

There's an old Roaming Profiles set-up that's been dragged along through the years and we're wanting to senset it.

One thing we're seeing is that for users who's roaming Profiles write-back haven't been working, (maybe permission error on some files) if we do something that might trigger it to star working again (like add folder exclusion), their local profile gets nuked.

It seems like this is only an issue with roaming Profiles that haven't been working, if they've been working, any changes we've made hadn't had the affect off killing the local profile and starting fresh.

I've check for any GPO settings that might be asking for the local profile to be deleted, but I haven't found anything. From what I understand, the profiles should only be merging.

Has anyone else seen behaviour like this before where a roaming profile goes from not working to working and it kills the local copy?

It's been a long, long time since I touched anything with roaming profiles. Just about everyone uses redirected folders now if they need that sort of functionality, and this is one of the reasons. Roaming profiles just proved very buggy historically.

man, I dislike redirecting things like the desktop... it's no longer a local folder and makes using it as a scratch pad super slow...

Ever since I embraced using OneDrive and Nextcloud, I would use junctions points. Folders like Desktop, Documents and so on would be stored in the OneDrive or Nextcloud folder and then I would use junction points. The user shell folders paths will still stay the same.

@JaredBusch said in Setup Nextcloud 19.0.4 on Fedora 32:

ok fixed. thanks.

sed '$d' for the win there.

Nice! I was about to post that command.

And I think you need to be root to create conf files under apache as well:
"Create the nextcloud apache config file" section

No, because it is created in the local folder and then moved and permissions fixed.

Because you cannot sudo cat >> /restricted/folder/fuck.conf << EOF

Using sudo with tee works well.

sudo tee -a config.php  <<EOF
  'memcache.locking' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\Redis',
  'memcache.local' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\Redis',
  'redis' =>

);
