I cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed the move to ProxMox and how exciting it was to remove VMWare Tools from all my VMs after the migration.

@scottalanmiller So True.

I hate having meetings just to have a meeting. I don't care that it is on the schedule, if there is nothing to talk about why are we having the meeting?

We're switching our domain name and because of that a few websites that we use have our old domain as the username/email address. Is there a way to SQL command that change without having to go into 700+ user accounts?

Something like: ```
UPDATE users SET user_login = '*olddomain', display_name = '*olddomain' TO 'newdomain'

Or is it?

I make a .bz2 zip of a directory on a linux VM and then download it to my machine to upload it to another machine. When I upload it (142GB), my FTP software says it has finished but when I check the file size on the new VM it says it is only 8.2GB.

The issue is when I try to unzip it, it fails. I am guessing because it isn't actually uploaded but am not sure. I have tried Cyberduck and Transmit for Mac.

Is there a better way to skin this cat?

I'm starting to test making the switch from VMWare to ProxMox.

A question I have is how are you converting your VMs from VMWare to ProxMox?

One of the applications we use just released a new version and the update requires php8.0 or above.

We're using Debian 11 and since 11.7 was just released, which doesn't have php8 in the release. I was wondering how do I find out when things like php. Mariadb, Apache, NGNIX, etc get applied to distros?

Hello all,

We have 3 shared calendars and someone is deleting things that they shouldn't be. Is there a way to configure permissions so that a user can only edit/delete entries that they make to the shared calendar?

Pretty sure that this belongs in the "I Can't Even" thread...

I would agree about the "I Can't Even" thread.

Although, a lot of things don't surprise me like they used to.

@CCWTech I think some have become dumber as well. Whether that is from COVID brain or we're just more observant now, I'm not sure.

We are on a support contract until 2025 after which time a few changes may happen as far as cloud moves. But until then, I might as well consider the move to vSphere 8.

Anyone else considering the move?

After getting interrupted for the 3rd time when trying to ask questions, I wouldn't have cared at that point what the benefits were, I would've been DUDE! You're SO BEING A DICK RIGHT NOW!

Isn't that Seth Rogen on the main page?

OMG, run away! For real?

I like that guy, but any tech conference that has actors instead of tech people that directly apply to what you are doing is a horrible idea.

I couldn't see anyone on their page because it's just a cookie warning that can't be closed here.

Isn't that Seth Rogen on the main page?

@dashrender said in Linode to be acquired by Akamai:

Is there a reason to not like Akamai? Why leave other than reasons you already mentioned.

I was just curious. I don't see a reason other than what I said but with all things when a company gets bought out or migrates with another company there are always those that jump ship.

@eddiejennings

Anyone plan on jumping ship? We only have one site there now and that one might be brought back in house as 95% of the users are internal.

Previous IT director didn't want anything in-house.

I have two physical servers that would take a great deal of time to rebuild to virtual so a conversion from P2V would be ideal. What are you guys using to do P2V conversions?

I was looking for VMWare's converter but I don't think it exists anymore.

@pete-s

Doesn't FreePBX use their own distro though? Or is that something different?

@dashrender said in FreePBX DAHDI card not connecting:

Total Linux Noob here - is that really a new kernel or just a patched kernel? Hell is there a difference?

Good question. Maybe @JaredBusch can answer that one.

@wls-itguy said in FreePBX DAHDI card not connecting:

Turns out the updated kernel doesn't like the Dahdi card. So support had to roll back the kernel version until the engineering team fixes it. No kernel updates for me until then.

How can you get kernel updates on CentOS? I thought you'd only get security patches on the same kernel. Exactly for the reason to avoid the problem you had.

Did you mean on FreePBX?

I have Update Manager module and this is the kernel header they rolled back to:

kernel-headers.x86_64 3.10.0.1127.10.1.el7. The newest release is 3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7 which is the one that has the issue with my Dahdi card.
