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.

 

OpenSuse Down

     OpenSuse.eskimo.com is going to be down longer than I thought, days, maybe weeks.

     15.1 is installed but I can’t get into any of the graphical tools I need to complete the configuration because x2goserver is broken on it, no x2goagent necessary for x2goserver.

     No idea yet how I’m going to work around this one, maybe vnc or rdp.  At any rate it’s not going to be easy or fast.

 

OpenSuse Down for Upgrades

     Opensuse.eskimo.com will be unavailable for several hours during upgrade from Leap 15.0 to leap 15.1.  Unfortunately, an in-place upgrade failed requiring a fresh install.  This has never been a simple or straight forward process with Suse so will take a few hours.

OwnCloud

     OwnCloud has once again pissed itself during the upgrade process.

     Checking usage, I see nobody has made use of this in the last 90 days so I am going to discontinue support for OwnCloud and leave NextCloud alone to provide cloud services.
