@scottalanmiller said in Yealink T46S Missing Opus Codec in 66.84.0.15 Firmware:

Anyone noticed that several firmware updates for Yealink T4xS phones seems to be missing the Opus codec, which is the primary reason for getting that phone in the first place? Very strange. We've seen it missing in multiple firmware releases, on multiple phones in the series.

FYI, we're on 66.83.0.55 which I think is the latest approved firmware for 3CX. It has the opus codec.

How did you determine you don't have the opus codec?

If I send all logs to a remote syslog server, what happens if the syslog server is down?

Depends on the sending mechanism or client.

It seems like the servers I want to send logs from all rsyslog.

The A chips are probably AMD's A-series desktop chips.

Alright, it looks like the boot drive or controller is dead.

Thanks!

@travisdh1 said in Dell MD1220 Rebuild Question:

It's RAID 5 with spinning rust, failure to rebuild is very likely. Automatic rebuild just ups the anti by taking away any chance you have to run a backup before attempting a rebuild. Hope the QA Team doesn't care about the data on it, and the backups are good if the data is at all important.

I didnt really type my question out properly. Apologies. What i'm asking is if anybody has heard of full arrays never rebuilding 'due to parity' as Dell just told me... not specifically about backups/Raid5.

I would expect that if the rebuild is successful, I would see a full drive come online. But available with 0 space. What Dell are saying is that as its full, it just wont work...

What they said is true, but they used the wrong terms and/or didn't follow completely through with the thought. It's all about weather a drive experiences a URE, in which case parity can not be calculated for that block. Most array controllers (apparently including the one in your MD1220) will just stop and not continue. Thus the failure 'due to parity'.

I'm guessing the person was just reading from a script and doesn't actually know much.

Shiboleet anyone? https://xkcd.com/806/

So, if we do not hit URE the rebuild will go fine, and just show our full drive?

So long as no other failures happen, yes. That's still a big gamble because of how much stress the drives are under while rebuilding. Can you see what percentage it's at and how long it's been running the rebuild?

But why isn't the array available during rebuilding? Usually it should be.

@manxam said in What is this?:

That is the UEFI shell which typically means that the device is configured to boot in UEFI mode and cannot find/load the boot file/partition.

So it's the BIOS that gives me this. Does it mean it doesn't find the disk or just doesn't find the partition or it could be both?

I have a server that starts up like this. Exactly what is it?
Is it a BIOS shell or from some boot ROM on a pci card or is it some recovery shell from an OS partition?
Microsoft, linux or what?
Does it have something to do with UEFI?

@Jimmy9008 said in VLAN on Dell N4064 Stacked:

Im guessing 'U' is fine. As I want vLAN2 to pass traffic where the device has already set vlan2 in its NIC. If the LAG is set to 'T', all traffic will be set to vlan2, right? Even when from vLan1/default...

I think it's better to tag every vlan in both ends. Then you can be certain traffic ends up on the same vlan on the other switch stack.

I have never used a remote syslog server (thinking of graylog) so I have a few questions.

If I send all logs to a remote syslog server, what happens if the syslog server is down?
Also, will the performance of the syslog server have any effect on the server sending logs?
Are there any special security concern regarding having all logs in one place?

@RojoLoco said in Adobe After Effects - Preview is not real time:

@scottalanmiller mid to late 90s. absolutely. I graduated with my audio degree end of '96, literally EVERY VENDOR had Apple's ball juice conspicuously on their chin. According to "the industry" at that time, nobody could record multitrack audio, use photoshop/after effects / premiere etc, or do any kind of multimedia production without a Mac. My personal mission since then has been to shit all over that mindset.

I know what you're talking about. At the end of the nineties I worked with a company that was running Protools on Windows NT and not Mac. It was rather unusual. System could do 64 tracks of 24 bit @ 48kHz on a Pentium II full of effects, but that was in large part because audio processing was offloaded to DSP cards. That's Digital Signal Processors for those who don't know. Audio tracks where recorded to SCSI disks. I remember it was a very stable and good system but it was extremely picky on hardware.
