Yeah, that is a slow instance, and Although it works in Ubuntu I barely use that.

I'm just trying to setup an NGINX reverse proxy, should be plenty powerful for that. Going to try the text install now.

@dbeato said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

What type of VM are you running? Like full specs?

a $2.50 SSD instance: CPU: 1 vCore, 512MB RAM, 20GB SSD.

About to rage quit a Fedora 27 minimal install on Vultr... Using the netinstall ISO is soooooo slowwwwwwww. One click on the console, then wait 2 minutes... so bad. Anybody else experience this?

@jaredbusch Ah, I was confusing this with SAM's install script. I was about to say that the script didn't create a nextcloud.conf in my conf.d folder. I ran his script last night on a new server and it was only going to serve this one nextcloud install so I just modified the httpd.conf

@nashbrydges Did you have to set Require all granted in your httpd.conf too?

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Yeah, but that's not as fancy.

True story. I'm not sure that our newfangled fax machinery makes the awesome dying robot sounds the faxes of old did. Maybe it just mutes that part for aesthetics.

@tim_g said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

@scottalanmiller now I have to buy a fax machine and a POTS line...

You don't need a POTS line to get fax spam. Ours comes through our VOIP all the time

@krisleslie said in XenTools installation error for Linux:

Not that I like Windows way better (sometimes it's good sometimes it's bad) but I swear, someone needs to take a look at the way these systems are designed!

There is definitely a learning curve to Linux coming from a life full of Windows. Once you learn it, though, you'll be that much better at all things Linux going forward! I think it's fun and a LOT of it makes way more sense after you learn the reasoning behind it.

Ha! I've done it once before with the GUI. This is a challenge for me.

I think he means the research tells us to not setup FTP on IIS :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

@dustinb3403 said in XenTools installation error for Linux:

So you ran the CLI command within XS to mount the drivers into your guest?
Seems like the difficult approach. . .

Semi off topic, but this is one of those things where I've seen people complain about having to enter UUID's... In the 3-4 years I've been working with XS I've never once had to enter a UUID

@krisleslie said in XenTools installation error for Linux:

Note that CD-ROM drives and ISOs attached to Linux VMs appear as /dev/xvdd(or /dev/sdd in Ubuntu 10.10 and later), rather than /dev/cdrom. This is because they are not true CD-ROM devices, but normal devices. When the CD is ejected by XenCenter, it hot-unplugs the device from the VM and the device disappears. This is different from Windows VMs, where the CD remains in the VM in an empty state

This is wrong though... In the latest releases for fedora, ubuntu, and debian, for sure, it is /dev/cdrom

@scottalanmiller said in XenTools installation error for Linux:

Ubuntu fail.

This is what I get every time I mount the XS guest tools ISO on Ubuntu. Every single time...

@scottalanmiller said in XenTools installation to Linux:

What, the what?

no idea lol that's just how it is

It never mounts on the first try for me on Ubuntu VMs for whatever reason, usually just running the mount command again will mount it read-only. It's almost always in /dev/cdrom despite what the documentation says.

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/

@dustinb3403 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

ha. . . you should email and tell him you have his homework. .

I did. I messaged him on FB. I doubt he'll respond. It looks like him and his wife used to run a computer repair "company" of sorts.

I almost think that maybe somebody stole the laptop from this guy... Why would you ever leave incriminating evidence on the hard drive otherwise... or maybe he's just an idiot :man_shrugging:

@momurda It was direct from Amazon! The chat support lady was like "Let pull up the order so I can report the seller" then she's like ohhh it was us, I'm so sorry, new one will be there tomorrow.

I just got done talking to Amazon about a 512GB Samsung 960 PRO SSD I bought that was clearly tampered with. I plugged it in and it already had Windows installed on it... ok, weird... Go to format, see that it's only a 256GB. Unplug it and examine closer, it's pretty obvious the guy took the Samsung stickers off and placed them on a 256GB Hynix SSD, then returned that for a refund.

Anyway, I plug it back in and start snooping, he has loads of homework on there with his name all over it, address in documents, etc... Bonus is that Amazon said I could keep this one and they're sending a new one next day.

@dbeato said in KB4074588 breaks USB mouse and keyboard:

Also are your devices with AMD Processors?

No, Intel, different gen on both laptops too

Uninstalled KB4074588 on both systems and everything works as expected.

Not sure which update it is, but I've seen this on 2 of my dell laptops so far this week. Seems like other people are having the same issue. Anybody experienced this yet?
