I am also not getting any activity lights on the network card. Is this normal in Linux?

Your OS does not change the hardware.

I get that, but wasn't sure if Linux would handle the hardware differently. Thought it was a nuance of Linux vs. Windows.

That's like saying that the recent iOS upgrade for your iPhone now made your iPhone water proof. Software doesn't change hardware.

Well, that's even easier, it's a hardware problem. Nothing should ever effect the blinking lights.

Possibly a driver issue then?

While possible, it's unlikely. The only real exceptoin that comes to mind is Debian with certain closed-source Broadcom drivers. What kind of network card is it, and was it working before?

It used to work before as it was my first coming to this company. I later switched to a newer laptop and put this one in the back for storage.

driver: e1000e
version: 3.2.5-k
firmware-version: 0.12-1
bus-info: 0000:00:19.0
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: yes
supports-eeprom-access: yes
supports-register-dump: yes
supports-priv-flags: no

It did the first time, but not anymore.

Can you post the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1, or whatever file(s) start with ifcfg in that directory other than ifcfg-lo?

Retyping as I see it.

TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no
NAME=em1
UUID=(big long number) Do you really need it?
DEVICE=em1
ONBOOT=yes
PEERDNS=yes
PEERROUTES=yes
IPV6_PEERDNS=yes
IPV6_PEERROUTES=yes

Everything looks right to me, but maybe I'm missing something.

nmtui

New tool. Didn't know it existed.

Just tried and activate the em1 connection. "Could not activate connection: Connection 'em1' is not available on the device em1 at this time."

Following @scottalanmiller series on learning CentOS 7 server. I am on a Dell Latitude E4310.

I did ip addr and got back em1 for my nic. I try "ip link set em1 up" and keep getting "Operation not permitted". I use sudo and it acts like it runs, but if I check with ip addr, link is still down. I have also tried it as root and got the same thing as sudo. I know, sudo asks to escalate to root for one-time commands, but I thought I would try anyways.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

28 days strong. Tomorrow? Objects...

GAH!!!! Catchup time for me!!!!

Just a bit. My daughter is gunning for you now.

Oh, it's on now..... no bosses in sight, lecciones de Espanol are going down!!!!

Vienes Liesl!

@scottalanmiller This is for you.

I would be hesitant about switching licenses without some kind of backup. As soon as you release that license without having the other license being applied at the same time, that mailbox will be gone. I would contact MS Support just to make for sure.

Now?

Just saw a Popular Technology~Science~Mechanics magazine in Toys R Us about the new artificial intelligence. Glanced at it real quick and one article was titled on how to build new machines that won't kill us. Wish I could have gotten it but more focused on Christmas shopping right now.

@scottalanmiller said in SAN Products Short List:

@BBigford and @zuphzuph were asking about this and I figured we should talk about it here. If you are shopping for a SAN, what is your vendor short list?

How does PureStorage fit into all of this?

Level Up!

This is still up for debate.

I've always been more scared of Google than any three letter agency out there.

ultimately I agree with this.

Google's goal is to strip us of our money...

Better than the goal to strip us of our money and our freedom. Three letter agencies do to everyone by force what Google might do with permission.

This is more of boiling a frog in a pot of water. Except for we are the frog and we just don't know it.
