Dash to dock is one of the extensions I always install, but I keep the default of the middle of the side. Gnome Shell Extensions are awesome.

And the US blinked and withdrew everything.

@PenguinWrangler said in ISPs can sell your browsing history without your consent, Senate rules:

Quiet honestly it looks like there is a market for an ISP that will promise not to sell your data.

Comcast has promised.

and after a lot of episodes, I've fixed the thing.

please let me state this again: I HAVE.

I.

Not the HPE support, not the reseller tech support.

I HAVE.

I = An almost idiot ex-embedded sw developer illogically cast into the sysadmin role of a non-sense company!

TL; DR:
there was a mismatch between OS version, bios version, controllers firmware version, controller drivers version. Selecting the right combination has (apprarently) fixed the issue!

how storage controllers affect reboot signals is still a mistery... but actually all was related to the smart paging I mentioned before. Moving it from the default location caused all the issues.
I have discovered the "bug" recreating a new vm with copy-pasted hdd but with hypervisor defaults... 2 twins VM one running one not... only difference: location of the smart paging file. XD

From a high level it reads simpler than what had to be done with Server 2012 R2.

Still not sure I would use it in production though.

@Breffni-Potter has been a pain with centos on dl160. It is now with dl380 and hyperv

@Tim_G said in Hyper-v and windows updates: how do you deal with that?:

Hyper-V Server 2016 hosts (among others, but leaving those out of this).

why? As it is a new deploymnet I was going the hyper-v 2016 route... still not ready for prime time? If so, I've to double check 2012 r2 features as I have a lot of linux VMs.

What he meant was other hypervisors than Hyper-V and leaving those out of this discussion.

@matteo-nunziati said in wetting my feet with CM software:

At that point if you have interleaved common/specific tasks you have to create a lot of fragmentation with all that includes and a number of "micro" files, or you end up duplicating code in files to have less fragmentation...

How is that any different than if/else statements?

if == ubuntu package=apache2 else package=httpd when: ansible_os_family == "Debian" pkg = apache2 when: ansible_os_family == "RedHat" pkg = httpd

You don't need mico files at all. Just call variables in your j2 templates depending on the OS or OS release. Say for instance you use port 22 on RHEL and 2222 on Ubuntu (stupid but just an example), use the same j2 file with a {{ ssh_port }} variable and have the task insert the port number. No need for anything else other than a single template file.

@matteo-nunziati said in Anacron Jobs on a CentOS 7 Server:

@JaredBusch well never considered the workload on servers. I don't know how they manage it! maybe not so many use unattended upgraqdes in debian.

I definitely feel like Ubuntu users don't keep their systems as up to date 😉
