OpenSuse

     Ran out of disk during an attempted update of OpenSuse from 15.0 to 15.1.  Had to halt machine in order to resize the disk image and partitions to accommodate the update requirements.

Reboots Saturday Morning

     Sometime after tonight I’ll be rebooting the majority of servers to install kernel upgrades that address some newly discovered security concerns in Intel processors.  Not all services will be down at once except for a brief period when we reboot the server with the /home user partition.  That should take about fifteen minutes.  This will happen sometime after midnight, probably closer to 2AM.

 

Windows X2Go Audio

X2Go may fail saying pulseaudio not running on either Windows 7 or Windows 10.

The problem is that the mixer is not enabled on windows. Go to Control Panel –> Sound –> Sound devices –> Record –> Right button –> Show hidden devices –> Mixer activate

OpenSuse Up

     OpenSuse.eskimo.com is back online but is back on version 15.0 owing to the inability for x2goserver to run on 15.1 because x2goagent is missing.

NextCloud

     Presently a large number of NextCloud applications are unavailable.

     This is because in a recent update something went wrong breaking one or more of the apps.  With all of the apps enabled it just loads a white page, no errors or clues as to what is wrong even if I turn on php display_errors.

     So to troubleshoot I’ve disabled all apps, which has allowed the page to load and am slowly enabling them to determine which is broken.  This will take a while, please be patient.
