No need to enable root, just use an account that has sudo rights.

That was an awesome speech from the major and the translator was awesome too.

@Scott said in Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect:

When connected to a Windows or Linux computer (have not tried on Mac) and the machine's public IP address changes I can no longer connect to desktop, terminal, files, etc. however the machine still shows up on MC as powered on, so there is some connection, yes?
How do we handle this if a remote machine has its IP address change? Such as a laptop going to a different location, or in my testing, changing address with a VPN.

MeshCentral should be getting that information from the meshagent.

On my Linux system, meshagent is set to always restart every 3 seconds or at least I think what it means.

choco install dar

When using dar on Windows, the path is based on the Unix way.
c:\temp\user1 has to be written /cygdrive/c/temp/user1

# Create backup
dar -c /cygdrive/c/temp/backup -R /cygdrive/c/temp/user1

# Restore backup
dar -x /cygdrive/c/temp/backup -R /cygdrive/c/temp/restore

# Test backup
dar -t /cygdrive/c/temp/backup

# Compare backup
dar -d /cygdrive/c/temp/backup -R /cygdrive/c/temp/user1

# List backup contents
dar -l /cygdrive/c/temp/backup

For macOS Users

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --incognito --proxy-server="http://squid.domain.com:3128" --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\ChromeProxy01\User Data"

I created a script that I placed on a server share. I then manually created a shortcut to it on the desktop. When running, it launches Chrome in icognito and connects to the proxy server correctly. However, the CMD windows stays open and says

CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory.

I have tried adding @ECHO OFF and used PUSHD to create a mapped drive to the sever share, but it still does that. Any suggestions?

Have you tried creating the shortcut using Group Policy Preferences?

I just tried that. It isn't creating the shortcut. It says it is applying the policy, but shows under computer configuration, even though I have the shortcut in the User Configuration.

I've had more success using Replace instead of Create. When I used that policy it was linked at the domain level but my security filtering applied to users in a specific group only.

You need to make some changes to the Spice Server settings for that VM.

From Virt-Manager, change Address: Localhost only to All interfaces

You can also make the same changes using virsh

On macOS you need to go to the website and download.

If you have homebrew installed, you can install it using brew cask install joplin

@BraswellJay said in Fedora install doesn't see SATA drives ...:

I'm new to Linux and have pieced together a system that I was going to use to test with at home. I was going to install Fedora 30 on the machine but when I go through the installer it doesn't see any of the 4 SATA drives in the system.

The bios is detecting them but not the installer. I tried Centos 7 and had the same issue.

The motherboard is an MSI H310I Pro. I had thought that SATA drives would just be seen without any concern about incompatibilities or anything. I feel like there is something simple I'm overlooking. Is there anything that I need to do to make these drives available to the installer?

Thanks

My wife and I trading our Rogue to a Pathfinder.

Nice. My mother-in-law has a gerbalmobile (Kia Soul) she leased about a month ago. Decent vehicle, and going lease meant she got a new car instead of a used model.

We were initially going for a 2018 model that has 52k miles on it but with a 2016 that has around 92k. It comes with practically the same features but leather seats that warms up front back seat passengers. Plus we can configured up to two different driver seat settings.
