    More of a managed switch question than Linux Networking

    Reading through this I believe you probably need to go to the services > dhcp and enable the dhcp server for vlan. Also make sure everything is configured correctly recommend restarting dhcp and the workstation. If that doesn't work make sure trunking and port on switch are assigned correctly...

    Disaster recovery - creating external bootable disk

    Not an expert on volume groups but my gut says if you could live with half the space I would remove one of the physical volumes. May be more than what you want to do but you will be hanging out for a while until you acquire a backup. If restoration time is critical perhaps you need a warm...

    no server suitable for synchronization found

    I would suggest a packet capture. If this server is behind a firewall or packet filter and something has changed you are likely being blocked. Hard to tell without understanding the architecture

    Forwarding emails from private network to internet email address

    You can give it a try configuring sendmail and see how it works. Lots of factors that can cause issues. For me I found that Google and Yahoo want to see a valid email server. I used the following project a few years ago to create an email server that would successfully communicate with...

    Forwarding emails from private network to internet email address

    You may have problems sending email to a public mail service. If you have an in house email system and then set up a forwarding rule you would have better luck. One thing I did at home was to set up a private email server. My ISP flat out has added my network to a blacklist of networks that...

    KVM and wireless interface issue

    Yah figured out early on that I could let virtualbox or vmware do the work of making a connection for me. I do appreciate your taking the time to explain....

    KVM and wireless interface issue

    No worries. After giving Proxmox another try I was able to import an OVA from virtualbox after manipulating the OVF file a bit and manually adding an interface. Since I was testing on a laptop running vmware and Proxmox as a guest I avoided making bridging work on a wireless interface. If...

    KVM and wireless interface issue

    Thanks I guess I think the flakey behavior I encountered attempting to move an ova file over to proxmox from virtualbox was the last straw for me. It takes a long time to get things formatted in a way to import. I made it through all that and then could never get a working network interface...

    KVM and wireless interface issue

    Tried proxmox today. Good news it accomplishes the bridge I could not make work. Unfortunately I found that it reminded me of ESXI with a scrambled yet unintuitive interface. My ultimate review is proxmox is an attempt at putting lipstick on the pig that is kvm. I would go back to ESXI but...

    KVM and wireless interface issue

    I have tried a half dozen times to create a bridge interface with a wifi interface to use for KVM. I have managed to get the wireless interface to participate as a slave on an interface but it breaks communication. If there is someone who has been successful with this I would like to know...

    How can I unmount my windows partitions from linux in a dualboot?

    If you are using windows pro you can simply run bitlocker on the partition you do not want to see windows by default. I do this and run a script to enter the bitlocker key if I want to access what is on the windows drive. If you are using windows home this will only work if linux is on its...

    Any ideas on what can I do with my dell inspiron 15 5567 laptop whose replaced battery goes dead every 1 year?

    Im not the battery expert but from my understanding You cannot over charge a laptop battery. When they hit full charge they stop. You can cycle your batter about 300 times. Its also not good to run the battery completely dead. Older machines consume more energy and will naturally will not...

    cps - a useful addition to the cp command?

    First thing that came to mind was syncthing but rsync is probably a better apples to apples comparison

    Stand 2ft from nearest building, place hands at shoulder height on wall, lean forward and bang head as hard as possible

    I always tell folks to wiggle the gas cap before replacing the engine. Came up with that when my check engine light came on in my car years ago and took it to the shop. They seated the gas cap correctly and the light went out... I often get irritated with help desk calls I have made and the...

    Today's article was mostly written by AI...

    I have been playing with various flavors of AI on the web oddly enough I found Microsoft CoPilot the best. The reason was it provided citations for the information it regurgitated. Often I find that at least with technical questions I get out of date information. Citations allow for further...

    Creating Practical Examples of SIEM for Linux Systems?

    Hmm why not just implement splunk and run some reports. Analyzing and reporting security threats is really a bit more complicated than that. Threats also evolve just creating some basic rules and launching some notifications probably not all that affective. If you are just doing system health...

    Wubuntu anyone had any experience with this?

    Just loaded it and gave it a spin. They went out of their way to make it look like windows. They added microsoft edge and copilot. Ability to connect to the windows crack pipe (aka onedrive). It does appear to be graphics on top of KDE. I use KDE desktop already mainly because I like...
