Cockpit has come a long way in the last year or two. It's kind of leading the industry as far as nice interfaces. Still early without a ton of functionality, but it is getting better and better.

Kind of interesting, handy to have a simple way to get real RHEL, I guess.

@tim_g I thought about it but have never used one so I was hesitant to purchase even though they are "cheap".

I would love to do daily driver stuff on Linux but every time I read on ML, I want to try a different OS. Seems as if there is a new favorite flavor every week....like Korora was for a while.

Korora is nice but there distro releases is slow. You will always be one version behind Fedora. That's my biggest reason to stick with Fedora instead.

Yeah, that killed it for a lot of us.

Has potential, has anyone played with it in any way yet?

@danp said in Newb question - Running a script from the root directory:

Is the directory in your path? What do you get from echo $PATH?

echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/root/opt/scripts/:/root/opt/scripts

I've added it (twice).

Well first off you had /root/opt/scripts not /opt/scripts. Second you either have to log out and back in or tell your user to use the new path with something like

source ~/.bash_profile

I used ````~/opt/scripts``` initially, as I wasn't aware of just adding my scripts into one of the existing locations. (everything said just add a new directory).

By simply moving the script into an already existing path, I am able to update with just "script.sh".

When you are root and your home is /root and you put ~/opt/scripts that is /root/opt/scripts.

Remember that ~ is a shortcut to your home directory, which is /root

So by adding ```/opt/scripts/```` this would've worked, but would've added complexity for no reason.

No that still isn’t a default location. In the OP you said you put the script in /opt/scripts. Where did you actually put it?

Originally I created the directory /opt/scripts and put the script in there so the Directory looks like

/opt/scripts/script.sh

I went back and change the script location to be in /usr/local/bin

So in /usr/local/bin I now have script.sh

This now works without issue, and /opt/scripts no longer exists.

Ok ya that’s where the problem was. /opt/scripts is different than /root/opt/scripts. If you would have had that in your .bashrc or .bash_profile (or whichever shellconfigure you’re using) it would have worked. But you still have to let the user know of the PATH change.

I'm the user in this case, but I never really create / save my own scripts. I just got tired of running a set of commands, every other day.

Thus the need to figure out how I could run the script, without having to jump into the exact directory from which the script was saved.

I mean you have to let the user you are logged in as Know if the change. Either by logging out and back in or by temporarily sourcing the config.

I've logged out, what do you mean "sourcing the config" ?

If you change your PATH while you’re logged on the user account doesn’t know of that change. You have to either log out and log in again or temporarily do something like

source ~/.bashrc

Or the non-aliased version...

. ~/.bashrc

@dustinb3403 said in dhclient preventing network.service from starting:

Disabled network manager and the issue appears to be resolved. @Romo thanks for the help.

After all these years, it's still a pain in the neck.

Not that there is much that can be done about it.

@dashrender
It's a one off issue we have. We have all 50+ Sites running of an MPLS, if something happens and we need BT to look at a line issue then we are subject to OpenReach SLA's. So while they are down most stores have monitored CCTV on a separate BB line, so we use this as a temp VPN connection to a Draytek here that is on a different sub net range to my VM infrastructure. So when they are using the VPN and the route has been changed on the Core switch zabbix can't ping the MPLS Cisco router as the route now goes through the Draytek. So I need to static the route through the MPLS router so zabbix tells me the connection is up once BT have visited.

Like this...

watch "echo Old Size Was: 38M; du -shx /tmp"

Solved it myself woop 😄

What i did was removed the rtl88xxau drivers (apt purge realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms)

then used this github and installed https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/tree/v5.1.5

adding i needed to run chmod +x on dkms-install.sh before install

Just installed on CentOS 7.6 with XFS. Still flawless install.

Does it allow odd number processors yet or do I still have to disable one if I don't have an even number?

Even only for licensing, I believe. No change there.

I needed it today, so I'm pretty aware how useful it is 🙂

After a few days, Fedora 27 is running nice & smooth...no crashes yet.
Everything I used on F26 is working fine.

There have been a few F27 updates.
Gnome is now v3.26.1
Kernel is 4.13.9-300
Firefox is Quantum v57.0b11

Maybe this will be the Gnome release that convinces me to enjoy Gnome. 😛

It depends if you were ever interested in Gnome at all.

My main beef with Gnome is that without an extra tool package, files and directories that you place in the /home/whateverUser/Desktop directory don't actually appear on the desktop. It's been a while since I've given Gnome a chance (notwithstanding a recent thread), so maybe my gripe is no longer valid.

I believe Gnome Tweak has a option to enable Desktop. But it was never an issue for me because I dislike anything on there except for wallpaper.

I know with Elementary OS, they removed Desktop folder.

Yeah, my gripe isn't a functional one. It's more of an aesthetic gripe: "why have that folder if it doesn't make stuff appear on the GUI's desktop?"

Because in Fedora for example allows you to log in using Gnome classic.
