@Obsolesce I don't know. I never tried that. Possibly if it supports two connections, you could choose each monitor on their respective connections. I never tried this. Unfortunately, I no longer work at my old job to test it out.

Mesh Central. I connected easily and could choose both or either screens.

Just got back from the grocery store... time to start marinating some lamb chunks for kebabs!

We have a small middle Eastern presence in our town. Lamb over rice and lamb on the rod are very popular dinner choices in at least a dozen spots.

Highlights are definitely different

The coolest thing I can think of is if ChatGPT would listen to the arguments given it by participants and incorporate the information into it's foundation. Being able to adjust based on information discovery is base behavior.

Now that I think of it, that may be what many people are afraid of.

Sorry, but I really like red wine.

Getting ready to head to the Premium Outlets in Grove City, PA. Nikes for me and summer clothes for the grandkids. Primanti Brothers for dinner if I can convince the gang.

Search on YouTube for
First We Feast or Hot Ones
Interviews while eating hot wings from mild to needing assistance.
They show each kind of sauce they use - 10 for each episode.
I personally liked the interviews with Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel.

MeshCentral has a router app that works nicely via relay. I have at least one PC at each site and the router allows me to connect to most anything at our sites. It's worth a look.

Anyone else grow up watching this?

Youtube Video

I saw the 1st episode. I think I was maybe 12ish. And yes, we watched more after that.

Could easily be.
I'm not sure (maybe Windstream -- ugh) is the next hop up from one of our sites in NE Ohio and they were down all day Monday.
Some odd behavior with our cell service lately too. We have dead spots where we have never had issues before. Verizon, in this case.

Armstrong Cable - their product is called Zoom Internet.

Which has come back up.

Armstrong down in Mercer and Crawford counties. Started about 15 minutes ago.

@scottalanmiller said in Remote Screen Blank in Ubuntu 22.04 | Switch Wayland to Xorg:

If you update to a recent version of Ubuntu, especially Ubuntu 22.04 you will likely have remote access tools like MeshCentral, RDP, Remote Desktop, ScreenConnect, ConnectWise, LogMeIn, and others stop working.

This is generally because Ubuntu has switched from using Xorg by default to using Wayland and changes which is used during the upgrade process. Normally all we have to do is change it back.

vi /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

Edit this file and Ubuntu has handily included a commented out line for us:

[daemon]
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
#WaylandEnable=false

Just remove the comment mark, the pound sign (hashtag for the youngsters), save and reboot. Voila.

[daemon]
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the previous version allow you to switch window managers at the login? I seem to remember that from a year or two ago.

UPS here too. I go to the site and it takes 12-18's. I have 12-12's. I tried the 12-12's and no go. The unit doesn't like it when you try to fake it out. Or I did something wrong. Batteries are due in here on Wednesday.

We're relaxing and trying to recover after a day spent a Cedar Point. Back in the hotel and looked at my step counter, 18093. A normal day is ~5600.

Did you get hit by any of the storms yesterday?

Around 3:45 PM. We got into the park at 9:00 AM, so we still had a long day riding rides and roller coasters. Very few lines this time of year as it's the first week Cedar Point is actually open during the week.

Wow,

I haven't been there since I was in high school. I would like to get there again.

You definitely should. Halloweekends is a great time to go if it is still warm with no rain.

Halloweekends when we went was so busy as to make it not worth the trip (paying for the expensive fastpass would've helped, but we didn't know ahead of time).

We're fastpass fans. My oldest daughter just responded, nope. I'm working her over with my son-in-law's help. This is going to be fun.

The kids are in their 30's, grandkids are getting bigger. I'm pushing this out for review. They better say yes.

Oddly enough, after pulling off the cover, looking at the diagram, CPU2 is on the left and RAM slot 3 is the 1st slot on the left of the board. So, in order for the ILO to function, you need viable RAM in the 1st slot on the board. In this device, that's CPU2 slot 3.

The error in ILO was -- Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception (Processor 2 APIC ID .....

Then -- DIMM Failure - Uncorrectable Memory Error (Processor 2, DIMM 3)

Further in the logs -- Uncorrectable Memory Error Threshold Exceeded (Processor 2, DIMM 3). The DIMM is mapped out and is currently not available.

Finally after I pulled the plugs out of the power supplies, and a hard reset -- The installed number of DIMMs on one or more processors results in an unbalanced memory configuration across memory controllers. This may result in non-optimal memory performance.

The server was completely unresponsive. I've never had the ILO go down like this. Fortunately, this was onsite here. It did come back up and ran normally until maintenance showed up with a new stick of RAM. Also, there's two different types of RAM for these units. You need to grab the part number to get the correct replacement.

Like Scott said, ILO was separate from the system -- apparently in the past, this was true. No longer.

@scotth said in Proxmox in 2022:

So, this morning 4 VMs are down and not responding. Tell them to start and ppfph. Connect to the ILO and ppfph. I had to power down the box and pull the plugs for a minute before it would start correctly. It turns out that I have a bad stick of RAM on CPU2 -- which prevented me from ILO access. Aaaaaaaahhh!!!
So on HPE G10s, a bad stick of RAM on CPU 2 interrupts the ILO. I would not have guessed. I can get into it now after a hard boot. Friggin' BS.

Sorry, wrong post -- VMWare, not Proxmox. Feel free to move, delete, ....

It's neither. It's about HPE speciifc hardware.
