@jaredbusch said in Fedora with ScreenConnect:

@scottalanmiller I told you to use rpm.

rpm -U screenconnect.rpm

Yeah... and that's what does this.

Did you install java?
dnf install java

The system runs, so the RPM definitely worked, Java definitely worked, it makes the connection, it collects data, it just shows a blank screen no matter what.

Ah, so you are farther than before. I misread that.

When I connect to my desktop at home I see the blank screen.
I blindly type my password and hit enter.
Assuming I typed it right, it logs me in and I see my desktop.

When I connect to my bookstack server I see a blank screen. I hit enter and see this.

I will have to try that on my Thinkpad later on. I also have to fix that lid closing sleep issue.

On my Fedora Gnome computer, I make the following changes:

sudo vi /etc/systemd/logind.conf

And I either uncomment HandleLidSwitch=suspend and change suspend to ignore. Or add
HandleLidSwitch=ignore

@jaredbusch said in Aastra 6737i firmware:

Anyone have valid links to the firmware for Aastra 6737i phones?

The Mitel site sucks.

This link works.

Was out sick almost the whole week, last week. Watched "Happy!", season 1 on Netflix and caught up on Season 2 on the SYFY Roku app. What a really weird show. I would say it has that comedic gore stylings like Ash vs The Evil Dead.

Also, watched the entire first season of Black Summer on Netflix. Kind of a The Walking Dead type. Interesting and well-done.

I enjoyed Black Summer. It's a Z-Nation spin-off.

Depending on the OS, I usually stick with whatever is the default filesystem (XFS/EXT4).
LVM is your best friend.

Upgrading to Fedora 30 Workstation.

@wrx7m said in CentOS 7 - Why Did [Almost] Everyone Switch to Fedora?:

I have wanted to ask this for awhile, but haven't gotten around to it. CentOS 7 seemed to be used fairly heavily, at least when looking through the tutorials here. Why did most of you stop deploying/using CentOS and start using Fedora instead?

Updated packages. Now I still deploy CentOS when necessary.

Which packages are you referring to?

I'm referring to things like cockpit, mongodb, php, nodejs, etc...

With CentOS you normally have to rely on using epel, IUS, remi or other repos that are provided directly from developers like mongo or saltstack. Since Fedora releases a new version twice a year, it makes it possible to have a more up to date applications without the need to use other repos besides the one Fedora provides.

Fu** you windows and your updates, watching the TV and beep,beep I can here from my desk, there goes windows restarting because it wants to...I like to leave certain programs open in certain positions and views and have to launch them all again..
Linux does updates the correct way - no forced reboots, can even update the bloody kernel without rebooting....

@momurda said in CentOS 7 - Why Did [Almost] Everyone Switch to Fedora?:

@black3dynamite I don't know the specific reasons.
I just know that when I wanted to do this a couple years ago, research led me to conclude it is impossible, and in fact the packages used to do the pre upgrade setup from 6 > 7 were removed from repos due to problems.

Hopefully, by the time CentOS 8 comes out, it will utilize the upgrade setup that Fedora uses now.

Welcome to level 1 of developing the skill to tell folks (particularly those in power), they're fools without using the statement "you're a fool!"

Just don’t things like this

@ccwtech said in Fedora 28 Server - Linux 101 - How do you partition your drives:

Isn't XFS preferred now?

RedHat, CentOS and Fedora Server defaults to XFS. EXT4 is fine too.

Good Omens Season 1 on Amazon

For those who installed Ubuntu Server 18.04 using the new installer from (ubuntu-18.04-live-server-amd64.iso), you will notice that renaming the hostname is not preserved after a reboot.

You'll find that you will need to change preserve_hostname: from false to true in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.

Now you can change your hostname using sudo hostnamectl set-hostname <new-hostname> and will stay put after a reboot.

Here's a one-liner command to change the preserve_hostname setting to true and to set a new hostname

sudo sed -i '/preserve_hostname: false/c\preserve_hostname: true' /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg; sudo hostnamectl set-hostname YourNewHostname

Pretty funny if you have seen Avengers: Endgame

Those instructions doesn't include configuring SELinux.

Just found out that the mall in Stranger Things is Gwinnett Place, which is very near my house. That's why it looked familiar.

That’s cool. Season three was entertaining.

I am looking at doing this with another SSO provider; Okta is on the shortlist.

We've been using Okta and its been great.

Thanks for the mini review :grinning_face:
