      Normally all we have to do is change it back.

      That is not fixing the problem though. Simply working around it.

      The problem is why do these tools not work under Wayland?

      @jaredbusch said in Restoring a Windows MS SQL Server Database to Linux With Move SQLCMD:

      @scottalanmiller I have not had to do that before with a normal backup to a .bak and then restore. Not some an place move like it seems you are doing.

      Happens if going to a space with a different storage layout. If you are coming from Linux you are probably fine. But Windows injects the drive letter into the path (obviously) and so going from one machine to another that doesn't keep identical storage path names causes the issue.

      @scottalanmiller said in How to Install PHP 7.3 on Ubuntu 18.04:

      I hate having to do this, but sometimes it has to be done. Here is how to get this middling PHP version onto this old version of Ubuntu.

      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php sudo apt update

      I'm not sure that is the proper way to do it.
      ppa are personal repositories - meaning someone put it together.

      I think Ubuntu has offical backports, just like Debian.
      In that case it would be better to get a the "newer" php version from the backport repository instead.

      UPDATE.
      It looks like the ondrej/php repository is actually maintained by a Debian developer, Ondřej Surý. He is one of the package maintainers for the official debian and ubuntu php packages.

      @DustinB3403 said in Oracle Linux Installation and performance seems insanely bad:

      @Obsolesce CentOS as a product is dead, the alternatives are RHEL or CentOS Stream.

      CentOS Stream is a totally different thing. Not what people consider alternatives. It is an alternative in the same way that Ubuntu or Windows is.

      The real alternatives that are drop in replacements that work exactly the same and cost the same are Oracle Linux, AlamLinux and Rocky Linux.

      @scottalanmiller said in New to Linux Administration: RHEL-Based or Debian-Based OS:

      I agree, both is the obvious choice. But to truly answer the question, I'd focus on Ubuntu (not Debian) and then RHEL. Debian is great, but it is Ubuntu specifically that has the market.

      Yes, almost the same is never the same as exactly the same.

      @Pete-S said in Installing Laravel on Ubuntu 20.04:

      OK, if you are not running apache or nginx, you should install the php-cli package instead.

      So that seems to get installed anyway as a dependency on its own.

      Yes, it does. But by using the php package and not php-cli, you probably got apache installed on your system as well - by dependencies.

      You could find out by running: apt list --installed | grep apache

      Or systemctl status apache2 to see if it's running.

      Even if it was, Laravel uses Artisan's server.

      I'm guessing they are invoking php's built-in webserver.

      Regardless, the point is that if you swap php to php-cli in your install guide you don't get apache and other stuff you don't need.

      Getting ready to throw Mint Cinnamon onto a laptop although Pop OS seems to be the new belle of the ball nowadays.

      Pop_OS doesn't make their own desktop like Mint does. Mint's focus is making an alternative desktop environment and Mint is just the showcase OS for it. Pop_OS! is a tweaking to Ubuntu used as the default on custom hardware.

      Cinnamon is far and away my preferred DE. I just wish that other distro's / spins would integrate it as tightly with the underlying OS as Mint does. The add/remove (install/uninstall) integration right into the main menu is convenient. I just have an extreme dislike for their policy of staying on LTS / Stable packages and package base.

      Fedora's Cinnamon spin is pretty much as integrated as Mint.

      They are pretty much all integrated once installed. Many DEs have a software manager / software center gui now that is shortcutted.

      Yeah, pretty much all DE have that now.

      @Seb1982 said in Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop Lag:

      My Dell XPS 13 lags after upgrading to 20.04. All graphics are fine, but the system simply does not respond quickly enough. Sometimes all is fine, but often the pointer is about half a second behind, so is typing.

      And, I assume, it was snappy under the previous version?

      Since the initial issues, mine has stayed responsive.
