@jaredbusch said in Fedora Update Breaks httpd:

So, if you followed the original instructions, you can use this to fix it.

sed -i "s/access\.log/httpd\/access_log/" /etc/httpd/conf.d/bookstack.conf

Then start apache.

systemctl start httpd

As always, thanks @JaredBusch that fixed it for me as well.

Got it working. It is something with GRUB2 portion of the installer code, it has a bug in it. The LILO portion of the code does as well. Use the old GRUB portion and it installs just fine. Quirky, but it works.

@quixoticjustin said in Installing SaltStack Salt-Minion to Solus Linux:

Solus Linux lacks a native package for SaltStack and so to use it as a Salt Minion you have to grab the packages from GitHub and create it yourself. Special thanks to @scottalanmiller who looked into this and Exoner4ted in the Solus community who did the research and figured out how to make this work.

Remember to change "saltmastip" to the actual IP of your salt master or handle that however makes sense for you.

cd /tmp; wget https://github.com/saltstack/salt/archive/2018.3.zip unzip 2018.3.zip; cd /tmp/salt-2018.3/ python /root/salt-2018.3setup.py install echo "saltmasterip salt" >> /etc/hosts cp /root/salt-2018.3/pkg/salt-minion.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/ systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl enable salt-minion eopkg install python-pyzmq pycrypto python-msgpack python-tornado python-jinja pyyaml systemctl restart salt-minion

Unfortunately this package is not self updating.

Once you get the initial client installed, you should be able to to push out new salt-minion packages via Salt itself, right?

Yes, but not using a repo. So you'd need to build your own installer / updater inside of a Salt state. Totally possible, but not as simple as telling it to update.

I am doing the tutorials right now.
Im on the simple math one.

@nerdydad said in MSBuild OpenSourced and Available on Linux Systems:

So do you see MS leaving the OS market altogether and go solely into IDEs?

Building development systems, yes. This has been the general analysis expectation of MS for years. OSes have never been their strong suit. Their strength has always been development tools and applications. They started as a BASIC programming company before they bought their first OS to sell. They didn't even make an OS of their own for over a decade. Their DOS/Windows era was an OS they bought and resold with, eventually, their own graphical environment on top. Windows NT 3.1 was their first fully in house OS, and that was even partially done by IBM.

@hobbit666 said in Install Zabbix on Fedora 27:

Just ran through this again as moved from a CentOS install to Fedora and only just noticed it pulls down Version 3.0.15?

Current Version is 3.4.8. Does the script need changing or how do we update to the latest?

3.0.15 is Zabbix 3.0 LTS version.
https://www.zabbix.com/download?zabbix=3.0&os_distribution=centos&os_version=7&db=MySQL

Edit: You will have to manually install the new version.

@bbigford said in Goto Linux Server OS:

RHEL if support is required, CentOS if I'm being lazy on updates (joke); beginning to just use Fedora Server for everything not requiring support. I will probably start phasing out CentOS.

That's what we are doing. CentOS is nearly gone now. Only required for Zimbra.

Zimbra actually requires CentOS? Can't use FS? 😐

Zimbra does not require CentOS, you can also use Ubuntu which others might not like.

We mean in the context of the RPM distos. It only supports Ubuntu LTS and not current which is arguably not even a form of support since Ubuntu’s own support path can be to force you to current meaning Zimbra isn’t actually supported in that ecosystem.

Yeah, Zimbra supports Ubuntu 16.04 LTS but yeah we are almost on 18.04

Yeah. So far worse than only supporting CentOS 7 in the RPM world. At least RHEL 7 offers full support from the vendor, not partial.

@tim_g said in Anyone Running Arch Linux:

I tried it on my ASUS ROG, but the fans were constantly running at 100%. Other than that, Arch worked the best on it.

It's very up to date, in general.

@black3dynamite said in Meltdown Shows Why to Avoid LTS Releases:

What makes Red Hat and SUSE exempt compare to CentOS and OpenSUSE leap? Because we are paying for the support?

Nothing makes them exempt, they ARE CentOS and Leap, just paid for instead of free. They suffer just the same.

Here’s mine based off of the DISA STIGS.

Ok, I dislike this 😞

Artificial limitation of 4 accounts.

0_1518883951621_c2bcbe04-1fdb-40ca-816c-6926eff3ace7-image.png

$8/month for an email client that doesn't even support calendars.

@black3dynamite said in Do we dislike Ubuntu:

@nadnerb ElementaryOS is nice but you might not like the idea of not able to save items to your Desktop. Deepin is pretty good too.

Just not on by default. You can enable it...

Is there anything new with updating the script? 🙂

@scottalanmiller I am on 6.4.something and it works for me on Fedora.

No Korora instance to test on

But OLD Ubuntu, that is expected to have lots of issues because it is not up to date, right?

Yes Now WiFi Detected will go with KVM and then Centos will run it

Great!

@scottalanmiller Thanks Scott it worked

@stacksofplates for acpi "command not found" is the error

You'll have to install it.

yum install acpi

The package has one more letter in the name. Should be this...

yum install acpid

Then you can fire it up like this...

systemctl start acpid systemctl enable acpid

Installation done but error comes
[root@localhost ~]# sysctl start acpid
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/start: No such file or directory
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/acpid: No such file or directory
[root@localhost ~]# sysctl enable acpid
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/enable: No such file or directory
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/acpid: No such file or directory
[root@localhost ~]#

It's systemctl not sysctl. Two different things.

Thanks

Ya I also pretty much use Virt-Manager/Virsh. I have a bare KVM server and an OpenStack box. I pretty much use Ansible/Terraform to spin up new instances on OpenStack.

I had a microcode update applied by Korora 26 during the week, perhaps that?

Check dnf history?

Yeah dnf history shows my command/install history. But I don't know how to get it to show everything that was updated.

You can do

dnf history info <history number>

I've tried that but it doesn't show the whole line... it gets cut off so it doesn't help at all.

huh? There should be a lot more than one line.
