I was setting up dnf-automatic on a new system today and recalled this post. I changed the reboot option and it made the systemd file as noted, which is what you report. So are you sure someone did not change your config from never to when-changed?

What is the best storage format to use in Proxmox? ( I have SSDs on these servers in case it matters...I heard that ZFS is hard on SSDs?)
ZFS is required for replication

Is anyone going to SpiceWorld 2023? I was able to get the "attached Hilton" and "Flash Sale" for SpiceWorld 2023. Wondering if it may be hard to go with it being Labor Day weekend/week.
I'm going and presenting.
I booked the Hyatt Place outside the room block it was cheaper.
As an update the solution for Windows 11 now also works for Windows 10 if you are on Windows 10 22H2 and fully updated.
@JaredBusch said in Powershell (or CMD) to print PDF files:
with Adobe Reader as the default PDF application
FYI, I cannot use Edge as the default viewer for this as it does not print correctly, I tried leaving that default.
@Obsolesce said in Powershell (or CMD) to print PDF files:
The only thing I can think of atm is keeping the Windows box logged on to, and running the process as the user or launching the process with ServiceUI.exe from within the PowerShell script.
I have no problem with this, the user will be logged in anyway. Just Start Process, with Adobe Reader as the default PDF application causes an instance of reader to launch and close. Taking focus from where ever the command came from. So far focus has come back to the windows that called Start-Process but I would prefer to be certain of it.
So, I guess I'll deal with writing a little PowerShell application for this.
@JaredBusch said in Powershell (or CMD) to print PDF files:
I can easily print the PDF with Start-Process in a simple PowerShell script from the user machine
Because this is launching an actual process of whatever the default PDF viewer is I still would like something better than Start-Process if anything exists.
@Obsolesce said in Powershell (or CMD) to print PDF files:
Another possibility, use node or php to run a powershell script from the web page.
I think this could possibly work since the node or php "server" would be the machine itself. Brain didn't go the route of full local process.
@Obsolesce said in Powershell (or CMD) to print PDF files:
Could you serve the same web page from the Windows box and have it do the printing?
From my prior research I found a webpage cannot print directly, served locally or not. The over all point of the process is the user scans a barcode and something prints, zero other interactions.
I have a bit of an automation problem.
Customer has a tool that generates PDF files (containing a fancy label) as orders are processed. Great.
Problem: Once the order is printed and the line worker is going to package the item, the generated fancy label needs printed for the box.
Previously, they used a not fancy label and a generic barcode printer. For that process I wrote a simply webpage served on a local raspberry pi. The Line worker's computer is a simply Linux Mint system and all they do is load the page and scan a barcode on the product. this printed out the label. making use of ssh and the lp command.
The new process uses a printer without a Linux driver, so I have a Windows box. setup for testing. I can easily print the PDF with Start-Process in a simple PowerShell script from the user machine. But if I connect via SSH and invoke the script, it executes, but nothing happens. I assume this is because there is no environment for the Start-Process command to do anything.
So what other way can I print a PDF file from a PowerShell script? Or lacking that from cmd.
The end users really just need to have only their webpage open and the hand scanner that scans the barcode as the data entry.
@Obsolesce I guess maybe instead of a webpage I could have some kind of PowerShell application running with a little GUI for the feedback?
If the new printer had a Linux Driver, this would be moot, but it does not. https://www.primera.com/lx900downloads
@syko24 said in Zerotier installs but no conectivity on Fedora 38:
@JaredBusch - I know their site says Windows, but maybe something related with the firewall rules getting messed up.
I temporarily shutdown firewalld on both systems as well as disabled selinux.
i worked around this issue by popping syncthing on those two systems to get the data transferred. but I would like to figure out the issue
I have an existing F38 system that has been upgraded since like 31 or so. works great.
I have a brand new F38 system I just spun up.
Both systems on are disparate networks in different states.
I want to rsync a bunch of data from the existing to the new one to get it seeded with some data.
Figured I would pop zerotier on both and use rsync over that. Zerotier installed fine and i joined the network fine. Both systems got IP addresses, but I cannot even ping from those two devices to anything else on the network.
Other devices on the network, Windows 10, Windows 11, MacOS all ping each other just fine. Even from the same locations.
oh n/m you were upgrading.. yeah. you just need to sed all of the repo.list you are using. Each system could be different depending on how you added the no sub repo.
Some instructions have that being added as a separate repo.list file.
@travisdh1 said in Proxmox 7 to 8 upgrade on Unlicensed repo:
This process was simpler than the official instructions make it. I'm using the unlicensed repository.
This is in the GUI since version 7
Disable the enterprise repo
Add the no sub repo
