  @JaredBusch said in Chocolatey not available after being installed through ScreenConnect: I guess you could cycle the screenconnect client service. That should do the same. This did it; thanks. It's the only working solution short of a reboot. I did not want to connect to the client with SC so I pushed a re-install, it was current, so it just went through the motions and restarted the services. Perfect for my needs.

  They should be in journalctl right? So I don't have a ton of experience with the AWS side, but with GCP you define your startup scripts like this: Here's what's in my script: #!/bin/bash sudo touch /etc/the_file sudo echo "is this working?" >> /etc/the_file cat /etc/this-file-doesnt-exist Then after boot, you can run jouranlctl --boot and it gives you logs since last boot.

  @scottalanmiller said in HCI vendors: software or hardware: @DustinB3403 said in HCI vendors: software or hardware: I'm pretty positive it requires a windows guest to be supplied the storage, which then gets passed out to the hypervisor. It used to be Windows based. Correct, but you still need Windows to manage the Linux version...which makes no sense to me.

  @JaredBusch said in Windows Offline files won't sync: I don't even bother to try anymore. Make a copy outside of sync location. delete form sync location and hidden sync location make sure folder in solid sync put file back Yup. Don't mess with it. Drop a copy of the files in question into a \Temp folder then delete from the local and redirected folder, sync, and finally put it back into the local folder. Then sync again.

Now it likely will. They claimed that they disabled the "remote kill" ability so that their infrastructure was no longer in use. Is the assumption that they broke their terms of service and secretly kept it tied and they can (and will) remote kill people's systems? I never saw that. So I assumed it was still all tied to the community accounts and such. they had a massive outage a couple years ago and everyone found out that they had been tying it together (and had no redundancy) so when their ISP failed, every on prem SW failed with it. Then they promised that it was separated and no longer depended no their no-redundancy, no-failover back end. And I'd heard from people who tested that it seemed to actually be done. So my understanding was that they really did it, but they are always pretty suspect, for obvious reasons, they've violated their terms so often that there is a good chance they would have turned it back on later. But they were so exposed when it happened that it seems kind of unlikely that they would risk that happening again. It is still tied to it at least on the initial setup, same for network monitor. You can set it up offline after that but it does need checkins for the plugins such as warranty check, cloud detection, alien vault alerts, software updates by Zoho and many more. Additional stuff i"m not surprised, but I think that the product itself is offline, at least after install? Only after install and still dependent of gekko.spiceworks.com What does Gekko do and what happens when it goes away? Scripts and such https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2142631-spiceworks-hangs

Not at the moment. I am just backing up to S3. Look at Wasabi for S3 compatible object storage. Significantly cheaper. Yup, can't think of any reason to use S3 unless you are hosted on AWS and aren't using it for backup but for production storage. And even then, not the majority of the time. S3 is too expensive and doesn't really offer anything except locality that is of any specific value. B2 and Wasabi beat it a lot. Sorry, I posted this as S3 but I should change it to Wasabi. It is the same Idea for both.

I formatted the drives wrong and made separate partitions for /Var, /home, etc Ah yeah, almost always best to avoid that. So I assume that whatever filesystem you were using was full? You are correct sir!

  @IRJ said in One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown): I also think you may be looking at the wrong file. In Ubuntu it is located here /etc/apt/sources.list You can also add sources by file here /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ He's using Centos, and location was correct. Both distros store config files in slightly different locations.

  @travisdh1 said in Cross platform automated patch management: @wrx7m said in Cross platform automated patch management: @marcinozga said in Cross platform automated patch management: Ansible is the correct solution, and I guess you could save output to log file with log_plays plugin. Perhaps AWX or Tower have reporting capability, I haven't used Tower and I briefly looked and AWX. Other configuration management solutions might do what you need too. Tower is pricey, depending on your needs. AWX lacks "support", as it is free. Also, AWX is treated as a toy and has constant issues with the current release software. You can see all the issues I had when experimenting with it: https://mangolassi.it/topic/19300/install-awx-on-centos-7-with-docker That is a complaint that I saw, as well.

  @DustinB3403 said in MySQL MariaDB password reset without knowing the password: Just still seems weird to have the password in plaintext on in a config file. has to be somewhere, how else can an application connect? Look at WordPress, for example, you have to enter the password into the application so that the application can connect to the database. Otherwise, the database would have to have no password protection at all or you'd need a human to log in and enter the password every time a database connection was needed (which is normally thousands of times a minute.)

  @scottalanmiller said in Java JRE Licensing: The easiest way to handle Java installs, IMHO, is via Chocolatey (assuming that you are on Windows.) Java 11, the current LTS release, is available this way. choco install jdk11 To just always be current this should be right to use choco install javaruntime

  @Dashrender said in Exploring VitalPBX: @WLS-ITGuy said in Exploring VitalPBX: Rather than create a new thread, would I be correct that any hardware that works in FreePBX also works in VitalPBX? I have a Sangoma wanpipe card that connects into our PRI and before I break things and move to VitalPBX I'd like to know for sure that it works. Curious why you're switching? Not 100% on switching but would like to test. Before I tested it all and possibly found I liked it better I wanted to make sure the hardware I was using worked.

  @krisleslie said in Spec'ing a new computer from Dell or?: Sadly - sometimes it's due to the fact that they are trying for SUPER thin and SUPER light.. so making things modular costs both thickness and weight. Hell no it's not because of the "lightweight" and "thin size". That is cost-driven to make you purchase the same model that adds one frigging slot. If you look at the PCB, it's got the solder points there already! I hate to say it, this is the same effect and the same thing as what Apple does in certain scenarios. I did mention reduced SKUs also - which is basically what you're talking about.

  it relies on DNS (or hosts files) to resolve itself and generate SSL certs, this has to work before you install the engine. If it did work, and you still get this error, this is a bug
