Well if it was for a tech job im sure you could’ve shown off some troubleshooting skills haha
And the ArchWiki link is perfect. Ill read up on that and ensure I’m using it correctly. Thank you very much for the pointer kind stranger! :)
I’ll ask! How do you know? Lol
All jokes aside, I think this might really help me with a side project I’ve been working on. Ive been trying to get full disk encryption working on a NanoPi R6S running NixOS. The issue that im having is that im not sure exactly what modules I need in the initrd. When I boot, there is no output on the display after systemd-boot shows.
The manufacturer puts out a version of Ubuntu thats works flawlessly so I know its possible. But I’ll pass on the snaps and id rather not use uboot. System is working with edk2 and nixos.
Long story short, will this software allow me to figure out what is running in the manufacturer’s kernel and port it over?
If you run systemctl reboot on a non-vm it will actually power cycle the system and cause it to go back through the BIOS and then the bootloader. Using systemctl kexec allows you to “restart” the computer without having to go all the way back through the full boot process.
In the case of a VM, some are setup to do this behind the scenes. For example, virt-manager allows for direct kernel booting. If you look in the options there will be a path to the kernel. If its not setup that way, then the VM still has a bootloader. In that case, restarting the VM with kexec will allow for a faster reboot since the bootloader is skipped completely.
So you can just run kexec if its installed on the distro. This tells the kernel to boot into another kernel. The reason to use it with systemctl is to properly shut down all the services running in userspace. That command will have systemd gracefully turn off all services and then the new kernel with whatever updates / modules can be loaded in a clean environment.
Its useful if say, you have a VM in a data center. Now most of them provide a web gui where you can turn your VM off and then on. But if you’re lazy like me and already remoted into the terminal lol
I hope it helps you someday! :)
I think the command “systemctl kexec” would like to have a word. Great command to know if you have a VM on a system you dont manage / share with others.
Woah woah… is there someplace in the event logs where this would show? Does this mean that you cannot run a windows computer headless?
Not OP but I use headscale and have it configured using Authentik for SSO. Works flawlessly once its up and running. I also use headplane for the UI. It has SSO integration as well which makes everything a breeze.
Edit: Forgot to mention, all running in docker with traefik as the reverse proxy.
Holy shit I had no idea about this. Thank you so much!
Looking into the history of Kodak is crazy. They used a 13 month calendar and secretly kept a nuclear reactor in the basement for years.
People forget that Kodak was a chemical company, not just photography.
Ah, what you’re looking for is called udev. It supplies the system with device events from the linux kernel.
This gist of it is, to use this command
udevadm monitor --environment --udev
then unplug and plug in your monitor. You should see the events on screen. You then write a rule and place it in /etc/udev/rules.d. To run a script add something like
ACTION=="change", SUBSYSTEM=="drm", KERNEL=="card0-HDMI-A-1", \
RUN+="/usr/local/monitor-script.sh"
See the man udev page for more info (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Thats a lot of text that didnt actually respond to my comment.
Your original statement was that ICE will snatch you up after 31 days of being awol.
Let’s clarify a couple things. You are awol the second you dont show up to formation. Article 85 is desertion, the UCMJ article that you can get charged with. Theres no arbitrary amount of days, the second you’re awol you could be charged with desertion. Read the Article and tell me if you see a time.
You also completely ignored the ICE comment. Your factually incorrect and fear mongering comments are unwelcome.
Originally you said
After 31 days, you’re not awol. The military lists you as a deserter
And I said that 31 days is nothing, to which you responded
But that’s at the CO’s discretion, but three months is nothing lmao
So which is it? I was responding to your original claim that after 31 days ICE will hunt you down and give you ten years. Which is a completely silly claim on its own, the US Marshals are in charge of finding federal fugitives.
Haha no, we had a boot go out for a pack of smokes and they picked him up 3 months later in a hotel in Palm Springs with two hookers. Fucker was back in morning formation with an NJP the next morning.
They spend a metric fuck ton on how to train you to do your job. They are going to get their investment back.
Made me laugh in the middle of a restaurant, thanks 🤣
Yeah you just have to deal with mast bumping, as if thats any less worrying.
You can use Authentik to setup an LDAP outpost then use a jellyfin LDAP plug-in to sync everything up.
