Living outside the USA has shown me how many supposed 'IT Security Policies' are in my opinion, racist.

I got this today:

1. I happen to be in Nicaragua right now, and I think it would be hard to argue that there are a lot of Nicaraguan hackers (In other words we aren't talking originating from China or Russia here).
2. Do IT staff really think that the hackers they should worry about aren't familiar with VPN's or other ways of spoofing their IP or location?

This happens from time to time and today it I guess annoyed me more than it normally does.

Thoughts?

Not sure what race has to do with geographic restrictions. I'd say it more-so has to do with laws, regulatory, and other such things:

How does it not?

@CCWTech It looks like the usefulness of it was discussed here: https://mangolassi.it/topic/22519/linux-geoip-blocking
I'm not someone who finds racism in everything, but this just struck me as odd. Maybe I am totally off base.

@scottalanmiller Figured it out!
dpkg --purge pve-kernel-helper
Fixed it!

@travisdh1 Command not found.

The upgrade to 8 was sucessful. It's running 8 now. Just having those errors.

@travisdh1 It's an existing install. Just doing an upgrade.

I decided to make the leap from Debian 11 to 12 and Proxmox 7 to 8 to see if it would clear things up... Still issues:

@dafyre Yes, I did. I am using a different kernel now and for the moment, things seem to be happy! (Ish!)

Turns out it's a Ubuntu bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-oracle/+bug/2023986

https://dpaste.com/997P6VA4B
Looks like drivers not loading.

@dafyre I'm sure you are better than me at Linux! But yes. It just shows dummy output.

@scottalanmiller Yes and sudo apt dist-upgrade shows all is up to date. Not sure why I have no sound or why the webcam isn't recognized. I am guessing it's a driver or dependency issue as well.

Now I am finding out that my audio and webcam aren't working. Not sure what was in this latest update but it sure caused havoc on my system.

@dafyre Yeah, and it was working great until a recent update. So, not exactly sure what happened but I am sure glad not to be working off of just one monitor anymore. I don't know how anyone does that!?!

Ran this, sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Not sure why they weren't installed or what happened but I have 4 monitors now.

I have tried different versions of NVIDIA Drivers and no luck.

Doesn't look like NVIDIA Drivers are loading.

nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

After a recent ubuntu update I only have one monitor (of 4) working. I have uninstalled and re-installed the NVIDA graphics drivers, disabled secure boot. I have tried both different versions of the NVIDIA graphics drivers as well as the Nouveau drivers. Nothing seems to work.

I have learned my lesson and won't buy NVIDA again, but for now, I have to work with what I have. Any ideas? It was working fine for quite a while.
