@DustinB3403 said in How to Install Desktop Environment to a Fedora Server:

@Pete-S I was the person to mention creating a desktop environment on the system to use as the management domain, and run virt-manager there. And I've repeated it numerous times, across several topics.

As for using virsh, that is an option too.

Sorry, I didn't follow the other previous thread(s).

@Dashrender think of this as XOCE to XenServer/XCP-ng but with a desktop instead of a web interface.

Literally nothing different and is completely normal.

So following on from the Other thread.

Looks like i'm heading to the Install KVM, setup a Linux VM and use that to manage the KVM server from that.

@bnrstnr said in Install MeshCentral2 on Fedora 29 with MongoDB:

Is it possible to migrate from MongoDB to NeDB after we've been running for a while? Easier to just start over?

Probably, but never considered doing that!

I think @Ylian mentioned that is was possible or was going to be possible. in the main thread.. not 100% sure.

Should be, they share a format. I've just never ingested a backup into NeDB before.

0.0.8-2 is now in updates-testing.

@travisdh1 said in Grub Entries cleanup and maintenance:

@DustinB3403 You never touch grub yourself. You let the system take care of it for you when it adds or removes kernels.

As to removing old kernels, it depends on the distribution you use. A good distro just takes care of this for you. The annoying ones make you do it manually.

RedHat/CentOS/Fedora = automatically cleans up older kernels. You don't do anything and it will keep a sane number by default. I think it's 4 and a recovery option.

Debian/Ubuntu = keeps all kernels till you manually remove them. I forget offhand what the command is besides it's an option for apt.

This is one reason I'm happily moving things from the old rental box to my new server for my home lab. The old rental box has Ubuntu with a tiny little 256MB /boot partition. It can keep ~3 kernels, and that's it, ugh!

You can install without /boot. IIRC there is a other config change with unattended-upgrades to auto remove kernels.

You normally can, yes. Since my current home lab box is a rental, I could only choose from the options they gave me at the time. Today, they'd let you use your own iso, but still wouldn't recommend them for anything other than a test lab.

@JaredBusch said in Install IceHRM on Fedora 29:

Going to be a heck of a learning curve for my client.

They have zero HR currently. They are implementing their first HR person (existing employee with new part time duties).

Cost to much for your client to use something like ADP?

The dashboard has a pretty graph you can use to see what is going on at a high level.

@Dashrender said in Why I Feel KVM Is the Easiest HyperVisor to Learn the Basics On:

The question is - why is the quality so bad? Isn't the process supposed to catch bad quality?

Their process is consider the windows insider group (extreme power users) to be a good enough replacement for proper QE teams, and writing automated build tests.

Right, the new process isn't to catch bad things, it's actually to see bad things as "not all that bad." Presumably because a shift from viewing their products as being for business to being for entertainment. Remember when Windows 95 was a key tool for businesses, but by Windows 98 they had made sure to put a "for entertainment purposes only" label on the product to make sure no one confused it with something that was intended for business use?

I feel like that's where they are now. At least internally, no one is really thinking of this as a business tool.

@gjacobse said in Fedora: Support for Hauppauge?:

Well - unless it's in there some where,.. the Official support page for Hauppauge states that they Support Ubuntu - ... So, It would seemingly be that here is another device I am unable to run under Fedora...

Or - Is that true?

@scottalanmiller - Is there options for running the WinTV-HVR 950q USB TV Stick in Fedora - or am I looking at either;

dual booting going Ubuntu only going back to Windows -

Whats wrong with Ubuntu, I rarely see the difference nowadays between Ubuntu and Fedora, both are great. And trust me there are no apps in Fedora that are not In Ubuntu actually it is the opposite

I’ve only witnessed that with Firefox on Gnome3 Wayland and xorg.

@FATeknollogee said in Fedora CockPit (with KVM) Copy and Paste:

Honestly, this is all kinda silly.
You are "creating" a problem that simply doesn't exist!!

Cockpit terminal tab, Copy & paste in a Windows 10 vm works.
I just tried it again in v1809 (OS Build 17763.107)

No, he is not. Also, no, it does not "just work" as you say. If it did, the post would never have been made.

I consistently have random issues using copy and paste into a web interface terminal. Both Cockpit and UNMS. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.

I do it little enough, that i never care to toubleshoot it.

I'll second this - The troubles in pasting into a web based console are real - and sometimes seemingly random.

I am willing to blame Windows on this problem - but the problem is real.

@Francesco-Provino said in Looking for an effective way to quickly access SMB shares from Fedora:

Autofs.

I have done some tinkering with Autofs... It's interesting, but it did work. I don't have it set up on anything at the moment though.

@dafyre said in Fedora 29 Apache HTTPD Keeps Adding ssl.conf:

Have you tried creating a blank ssl.conf file and then chmod +i ssl.conf ?

I've not, but that's such a hockie way of doing it, I was hoping not to.

@scottalanmiller said in KVM with Cockpit on Fedora 29 Network Type Options Greyed Out:

When building a new VM using Cockpit's web interface to KVM on Fedora 29, the Network Type option leaves most options like Bridge to LAN, Generic ethernet connections, and Direct attachment greyed out. Anyone know why?

Did you try with network manager? Any missing package?

I'm just reading the manual, but taking a stab I would think

Interesting concept when snaps and flatpacks take over, would it matter to have Fedora or Ubuntu ?

Snaps and Flatpack are already here and are nothing but "yet another packaging format." Fedora vs Ubuntu differences still remain. They aren't separated primarily by their package managers.

The one different with snap on Fedora compare to ubuntu is that SELinux can cause issues with snap apps.

If you don't want that, though, just turn it off. Then you are in the same boat as Ubuntu without it anyway.

Yeah, SELinux is disabled on my Fedora workstation. Too many annoying crashes because of it. I’m all good with keeping in enabled on my server installs.

@gjacobse said in UBNT: UniFi Controller Issue:

Follow up, controller is running again under Win10.

I’ll address a Linux system in the future at some point and move over so it can run full time.

Worth it if you have a hypervisor running somewhere with enough extra resources for it - otherwise, in a home environment - not worth it.
