@jaredbusch Hm. I'm getting too many rewrite errors now. Some odd problems occurring. Relative pathing problem?

@pete-s said in FreePBX Restored from Vultr Snapshot - No IP on boot:

@bigbear
It's udev that has a rule with eth0 and the old mac address.
Don't know what distro you're running but try looking in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.
Delete the line that has NAME="eth0" in it. And change the line with NAME="eth1" to eth0.
And then you have to swap back eth1 to eth0 in your network settings.

Perfect!

@jaredbusch said in How to use a systemd timer instead of cron to automate a git pull:

Oh look I just found this posted here already /sigh..

So many questions I could have not asked of @stacksofplates, had I recalled this thread.
https://mangolassi.it/topic/13455/systemd-timers-instead-of-cron

I honestly forgot I posted that.

@obsolesce said in Systemd timers instead of cron:

@stacksofplates said in Systemd timers instead of cron:

Now just enable each one
systemctl enable backup-tower backup-pbx backup.target backup.timer

I'm not sure how this works.
Why wouldn't you just enable the backup.timer? Why add everything else in there?
I'm not clear on how it's all linked.

Yeah you don't. I honestly don't remember why I had it this way. Could have just been an accident. Was quite a while ago.

So at this point I would assume a clean install of FreePBX 14 with Asterisk 14 is recommended?

I've had better luck with Asterisk 15.

So FreePBX14 with Asterisk 15?

That's what we are using.

Yes, FreePBX 14 with Asterisk 14 is what I have everywhere.

I was thinking this. 14 and 14. Have you used FreePBX14 with asterisk15 in production?

All of my production FreePBX 14 are Asterisk 15.

So now that everything is fixed and the update is complete I see the update software section of System Admin is gone. I had read that they can automatically manage security and updates now. Is that what you are doing, or did you disable it?

I prefer to do it myself because I don't want to deal with a down PBX. Granted that has never happened from a normal update, at least to me.

It is now under Admin -> Updates
0_1535136718470_ecab0baa-2524-40e2-889c-fa6997c2afbc-image.png

It has this scheduler, but it does not seem to actually do anything except check.

@jaredbusch Look at the OP, i have telnet listening to those ports.

Ahh, didn't scroll enough.

@bigbear said in Blinking Cursor on Fresh Fedora 28 Install after reboot:

So I made a full USB installer for Suse Tumbleweed this morning and loaded it up, I am afraid to reboot.

I am hoping its something Fedora is missing the Suse got right...

/me hands you a dang helmet.

Good luck!

@dustinb3403 said in Saving space by leaving NTFS hard links with tree size pro:

Rather than trying to remove hard links I would look at applying some kind of deduplication to your file server.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/data-deduplication/understand

You (and @travisdh1 for upvoting) need to read more.. Server 2008 was clearly stated. There is nothing for Server 2008. Even your link states that Server 2008 R2 was the first to have the old infrastructure called "Single Instance Store"

And your assumption that @shutdown_engineer isn't running R2 is somehow more accurate? And not for nothing, but there are deduplication tools, that can be run on Server 2008 outside of what's provided by microsoft. This was a simple reference to the functionality.

@wirestyle22 said in Certifications! Are they still worth pursuing?:

The knowledge is beneficial but the piece of paper is irrelevant. I use certification books as education paths and then have @scottalanmiller and @JaredBusch yell at me until i understand. It's worked well for me. As a side note, Cisco can over-complicate a lot of simple concepts so watch out for that.

I think Cisco is a bad path for general education. Their material is super Cisco specific and engineered way more to promote the use of their products than they should be. You could say something similar about Windows certs, but operating systems have to be like that in a way that networking does not and Microsoft is certainly better about keeping knowledge and concepts more general. Cisco certs are for Cisco jobs.

Great business model for Cisco, though. Without CCNA, Cisco would lose a huge market share IMO.

Yes, they all learned that model from Novell. If only Novell had learned it.

It amazes me how much I hear Novell referenced. People are still upset it failed.

Not many, it was pretty crappy. Stable, but archaic, even at its peak. But they did a lot to give us much of Suse, so that's good.

@krisleslie said in Configuring QoS on a Edge Switch 48 Lite:

See for me I don't understand when and where to apply QoS. As one minute your told it's useless the other it's useful. Like what's missing is the context behind the usage. I agree with Jared in that if your enabling it, by that alone it doesn't mean something magical is happening, something specific is.

It's EXTREMELY USEFUL in VERY LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES.

It's like a shotgun isn't useful at the grocery store, but in the limited case of hunting, it's useful.

Couple corrections to the solution posted above after more testing this evening.

@emad-r yes, yes we can complain.

It's why NN is so damn important! (even though it's dead now. . .)

@g-i-jones That's interesting that we don't have the same issue then. Glad you got it resolved.

Yup, basically just automating Postfix configs.
