I'll wait for when Fedora 30 is released.

It applied to the instance (multiple servers)

FFS no. That is not what anything is.

It applied to the Account. Which contains multiple instances.
Instances that could be servers or desktops or WTF ever.

My apologies. I meant to put account.

OSTicket is not a solution I can use, because I need time tracking also.

I never saw a plugin for that for OSTicket.

@JaredBusch said in Setting Up a Standard MySQL or MariaDB Database for an Application:

I like my approach to setting this up.

Obviously, install MySQL/MariaDB first as noted above.

Then do the following. This all needs done in the same SSH session, but otherwise things are simple.

Choose once of these exports for your DB root password.

The first one is for you to specify, the second generates a random one and echo's it back to you.

# Specify your own password for MariaDB root user export DB_ROOT_PASS="somebigpasswordgoeshere" # Generate a random password for MariaDB root user export DB_ROOT_PASS="$(head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 30)" echo "This is your MariaDB root password: $DB_ROOT_PASS" Specify the application database name and application user name # Database user to use for application export DB_USER='yourusername' # Database name to use for application export DB_NAME='yourdatabasename' Generate or specify a random password for the database user # Specify your own password for the application's database user export DB_PASS="somebigpasswordgoeshere" # Generate a random password for the application's database user export DB_PASS="$(head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 30)" echo "This is your password for the application user: $DB_PASS" Then create the application database, use, and grant access. mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE $DB_NAME;" mysql -e "CREATE USER '$DB_USER'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '$DB_PASS';" mysql -e "GRANT ALL ON $DB_NAME.* TO '$DB_USER'@'localhost';" mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" Finally, lock down the system without the interactive requirement of mysql_secure_installation # Secure MariaDB (this does what mysql_secure_installation performs without interaction) mysql -e "UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('$DB_ROOT_PASS') WHERE User='root';" mysql -e "DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User='root' AND Host NOT IN ('localhost', '127.0.0.1', '::1');" mysql -e "DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User='';" # Beginning on some version of MariaDB after Fedora 29 was released, the test DB is no longer there by defualt. mysql -e "DROP DATABASE test;" mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"

Your approach makes it easier to use as part of a script.

It also generates random passwords, which I prefer.

I'd normally keep swap space too but I know for sure you can run without it successfully because we used to do that with embedded linux for years - with devices that had years of uptime.

With memory ballooning you can overcommit RAM and the hypervisor can swap guest RAM to disk if it comes to that. I don't know which hypervisors supports it though. As always it depends on how much you want to cram out of your gear.

I think they misspelled that name slightly. Fire that company (I know, you wish they would.)

No, that is not valid. WTF is even “mainstream”?

main·stream /ˈmānˌstrēm/ noun

I know how it is defined. But how are you claiming which ones are mainstream. Because there is only subjective evidence to support any of your wild ass bullshit claim.

Mint is Mainstream to many. It is old and nasty and not something I would ever use.

Ubuntu is a steaming pile of shit that only has popularity among "developers" because it was "popular" as a desktop OS.

Okay ass.

You know what my intention is and was when using the term Mainstream.

So get off your horse and onto the dildo, cause you need to sit and spin for a while.

Completely unwarranted reply from you, because the use and intention of "mainstream" is useless no matter how you try to swing it... HOWEVER, I LMAO so hard at this.

Maybe if it is studded? For that extra oomph?

Definitely studded. Only way to go.

Et me guess it is much faster on Linux than on Windows server

No idea, but it is one less Windows Server license needed.

Also MS SQL Server Express works well for many tasks.

@DustinB3403 said in How to Install Desktop Environment to a Fedora Server:

@Pete-S I was the person to mention creating a desktop environment on the system to use as the management domain, and run virt-manager there. And I've repeated it numerous times, across several topics.

As for using virsh, that is an option too.

Sorry, I didn't follow the other previous thread(s).

@vpr00 said in MeshCentral Performance Testing:

Sometimes after i press connect, half of the image loads and it wont load any further. I have to press disconnect and connect again until it works. Have you experienced the same? It only happens with WebRTC though.

Yes, we do see that from time to time.

So following on from the Other thread.

Looks like i'm heading to the Install KVM, setup a Linux VM and use that to manage the KVM server from that.

@dafyre said in Running Xrdp on Ubuntu:

Not sure what to do about the EFI issue....

What I do when I want to use mine like that is set up x11vnc-server and then run it through XRDP (and choose the console option). It's faster than stock VNC... Don't ask me why, lol. I haven't gotten instructions for that yet, I don't think.

If I remember right, after a reboot, you have to connect, close the connection, and then reconnect back using the XRDP+VNC option. I don't have any installation instructions for that setup on hand though. I can work it out and post them if you like.

This is likely where I went 'rouge' in that I didn't use x11vnc-server.. I had notes on that,.. at least I believe and have misplaced them. so I had forget that.

As I was starting to have other 'OS' Kernel issues (the mouse and keyboard wasn't working correctly) I nuked that partition from Windows, and will rebuild. Maybe it'll survive as I am of course getting grub 'errors' since that partition is gone.

Too bad it is KVM only right now. Not that KVM is bad, it's just early. The have LXC coming "soon" and that will be really awesome. I want VDI on LXC so that we can do it faster and on top of Scale HC3.

Windows DUMBASS-ory..

Talking to my brother, he mentioned some 'issues' with Windows not releasing the lock on the partition. He suggested and this is the really dumb part on windows.

To boot Windows and RESTART normally.

Since grub starts Ubuntu by default, it booted normally into Ubuntu.

I did the lsblk -f as before, only this time for /dev/sda4 - there is a UID for it. AND it shows as NTFS..

so,.. FFS Windows,.. FYS. now,.. to see how to prevent this stupidness in the future.

This why someone suggested that you go into Windows and do a full shutdown with shift shutdown.... normal shutdowns now aren’t full shut downs to allow the system to boot faster.

But he did that and it made no difference

Yup - a FULL shutdown didn't do anything more that the SHIFT shutdown.

I have only had this happened on the upgrades between versions and OS upgrade.

This happened to us while simply up and running. Middle of the day. Very odd.

Weird

What version?

8.8.10_GA_3716

Hmmm I just upgraded from 8.8.9 to 8.8.11 last week or two weeks ago.
