@CCWTech download the MS power toys and use fancy zones.

Unless I am missing something, it looks like that won't work. It all opens in ONE Window. So I don't see that it will drag the tabs the way they were...

And just this evening I went to watch TV and I came back... Guess what? Windows decided to reboot for updates while I was gone...

I gotta go back to Ubuntu I suppose... I just wish there were better games for it...

@Obsolesce Ok, I'll look at this, thanks!

@DustinB3403 I wish I could add two more honestly! But it's so frustrating because with Ubuntu, it just worked... If only there were more apps written for Ubuntu!

@DustinB3403 What I get instead...

@DustinB3403 What I want to happen

@DustinB3403 I do have a primary set, however maybe photos will help. On reboot I get All the tabs open I set to open on startup, but ALL one one 'Window' of Chrome or on one screen. I got spoiled because on Ubuntu it remembers WHICH monitor you had which tabs open. Photos coming...

I am using Windows 11. This worked fine on Ubuntu but I needed to switch to Windows in order to support other apps.

Maybe I am asking too much but I have 4 screens. I have Chrome open on each screen and about 8 tabs open on each screen.

But, when I reboot, Chrome remembers the tabs I have open, but puts them all on one screen and I have to then re-arrange each time. It's quite a pain, especially with how often Windows makes you reboot.

Is there anything I can do to get Chrome to open as I want it to?

Not sure if this goes in IT Discussion or Water Closet because it's more of a RANT than an IT Problem.

I have ranted previously on this, but still finding it as common behavior.

Will someone PLEASE tell IT security departments that geoblocking is insanely stupid?

You have to believe that people on vacation in Central America (or living abroad there) is a huge thread, and/or that hackers don't know how to use VPN or otherwise spoof their IP addresses.

@IThomeboy80 You are welcome. I keep falling more and more in love with Proxmox every day. It's just a great product!

We have a physical box running Hyper-V and need to go to ESXi
I know VMware has a converter and Starwind has one.

Anyone use either of these tools and can give some feedback?

The starwind one looks pretty simple but it scars me how easy it makes it look. Is this a live migration or does it shut the VM off? (Or do I need to shut it down first)

Any help is appreciated. I know @Oksana is here, maybe she can give some input.

@scottalanmiller Great, but can you explain the syntax of the command?

I'm going to be doing a fresh install of 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat in a few days. In the past when I have installed UBUNTU I haven't been able to get the automatic disk unlocking to work and have to put in the encryption password in order to boot.

Anyone have a guide to follow for setting this up right? Ideally I'd like to just have to put in my Ubuntu PW and not a disk encryption key each time.

I am running brand new hardware so it should be quite capable. I am thinking I am missing a bios setting or something...

ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI and AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D × 32

Proxmox 8.2 is available. Some really cool new features:

1. EXSI import (how timely!)
2. Automated installation
3. Firewall enhancements
4. Backup performance configuration and more...

Easy to tell VMWare adios!

Maybe VLC might be a good option since it plays almost al media type files.

It doesn't handle many channels

@gjacobse said in Suggestions for an IPTV player for Ubuntu:

@CCWTech
Silly question but,…..
20,000 iptv channels? How do you find anything?
At 10sec a channel that 35min to cycle through them,… ( if my math is anywhere to being close, which it doesn’t seem to be,… I don’t math )

That's how many are available. I can select which one's I really want (USA Channels, Spanish channels, etc.)

@DustinB3403 said in Suggestions for an IPTV player for Ubuntu:

I use Emby, simple to setup and maintain.

Never heard of it. I'll take a look.

@gjacobse That's what I am trying right now. It seems like it works reasonably well, except takes a bit of time to start up each time.

@CCWTech said in Broadcom Acquired VMware: Does KVM Have a Chance?:

@Oksana You couldn't pay me enough to use VMware. KVM is the industry standard and has been for years. And VMware with the recent announcement to kill their free offerings is now just a sinking ship.

And it isn't like when it was free, it was worth it. It was laughable what a bad product it was for free. Paying for it is totally insane.

The people who are using VMware have to either be getting kickbacks or completely ignorant or incompetent tbh.

@EddieJennings said in MeshCentral Future:

The one ask I have of MeshCentral is Wayland support.

That's an issue with MANY remote access software. But for sure a nice feature to have.
