Q: Setting up SSL certificates on dydns server

I locally host a Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS server to host an Odoo instance for my business. We access this through a DYNDNS name (XXX.dyndns.org) using port 8069. The local ip address is 10.1.1.2.

I have an Ubuntu (Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS) system image displaying this behavior on different hardware. The enp2s0 interface comes up on boot but if the network cable is disconnected and reconnected, the interface fails to get an IP address. Both "systemctl restart networking" and "dhclient enp2s0" ...

Hey, i have a python script called setkl in ~/bin directory and i can run it with or without sudo. I added the line
`full path to setkl || exit 1`. After that line there is a line as follows:
`exit 0`. But it doesn't do its job. Any thoughts?

terdon

@AbdullahUYU What is its job? What are you expecting and what are you actually seeing?

Abdullah UYU

It's actually so simple:

#! /usr/bin/env python
from subprocess import call
call(['setxkbmap', 'fr'])

terdon

@AbdullahUYU You say it "doesn't do its job". You need to explain what its job is, what you expect to see and what you actually see.

Abdullah UYU

it sets the keyboard layout for french.

terdon

That said, why in the world would you use a python script for this? Especially if you're calling it from a shell script. Just use a shell script directly.

Abdullah UYU

12:46

I dont know writing shell scripts, that's the reason.

terdon

@AbdullahUYU All you need is:

#!/bin/sh
setxkbmap fr

Abdullah UYU

Well, i don't expect this to work, because the current one doesn't :) I don't see any difference.

terdon

@AbdullahUYU Both work fine for me, the python is just slower and needlessly complicated.

Does running setxkbmap fr in the terminal work?

Abdullah UYU

Yep, I used to use it. and then I decided to automize it.

terdon

@AbdullahUYU If it works from the terminal, it will work as the shell script. It should also work in python, unless something's wrong with your python setup.

Abdullah UYU

12:54

Well. it also work in python when I run it from terminal manually.

terdon

@AbdullahUYU Sigh. So you don't run it from the terminal? How were we supposed to know that?

Please post a question on the site and give all the relevant details.

Abdullah UYU

No no. you've misunderstood me. I mean the script i wrote above is also working.

V.7

Hey all

Can I ask here question regards hardware ?

cl-netbox

@V.7 Hi :) Why not ? What is your question ?

terdon

@AbdullahUYU Yes, but it doesn't work when you don't run it from the terminal. But you never explained you don't run it from the terminal. That's why it is better to post a question on the main site and explain exactly what you are doing.

cl-netbox

13:02

Hi terdon :)

V.7

Mobo: X8DTN+-F, Cpu: E5620, RAM (serversupply.com/MEMORY/PC3-10600/2GB/SAMSUNG/… this is installed right now), BIOS shows i.imgur.com/328GJI2.jpg. So it works with ECC 1333MHz, but on 1060MHz, so all in all, would it work with 1600MHz on 1060MHz as with this 1333MHz which is ECC too. (1600: atea.lt/eshop/product/kingston-ddr3/?prodid=848344 this RAM is on view which should be installed ).

Abdullah UYU

@terdon Allright. Thanks.

cl-netbox

@V.7 Well, as far as I can see your MB supports (only) BUS SPEED: 1333MHZ ... so I think you can make use of RAM at 1333MHZ maximum. :)

terdon

Hi cl

V.7

@cl-netbox, So, it will work ? But only on 1060 ?

cl-netbox

13:13

@V.7 I would select a 1333MHZ RAM device rather than a 1600MHZ one ... 1060MHZ should work though. :)

V.7

@cl-netbox, yup but we might have only 1600 right now

cl-netbox

@V.7 Better choose a 1333MHZ RAM which is matching the capabilities of your mainboard. :)

V.7

@cl-netbox, you're right, but would 1600 work with 1333 mobo and 1066 CPU ?

cl-netbox

@V.7 I'm not sure and hence can't guarantee that ... better ask the vendor - all I know is that all specs should match to be on the safe side. :)

V.7

@V.7 You're welcome ! :)

Also, do you know, is it possible to get stepping's revision with letter in Ububtu Server ?

@V.7 What do you mean with "stepping's revision with letter" ?

V.7

I've already asked this question here: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/417337/…

So, might be possible that you know an answer

cl-netbox

@V.7 Stephen already gave you the answer ... you can trust him, he has a huge amount of knowledge. :)

V.7

@V.7 By the way, you can accept and/or upvote his answer ... :)

@V.7 You're welcome (x2) ! :)

Windows XP Installation Music

►

Seth

@TheWanderer I remember this.. Except the default drivers for my soundcard weren't great so it always blared at 100% volume. Not pleasant if you weren't expecting it.

TheWanderer

lol

Seth

how the heck did I type ship and not this

TheWanderer

idk that's your problem

I wanna install XP in a VM now

dessert

I used WinXP ten years long, doing a fresh install every year at least, and never heard that music until just now.

TheWanderer

23:13

I know it was in the tour program

but apparently it also played during the installer

my computers just never had working sound drivers at that point

Seth

Yeah it played during the installer. @dessert maybe you didn't have sound drivers at that point?

dessert

neither did my apparently

@Seth must be it

Seth

@TheWanderer It's really not bad music.

especially for synth made in the late 90s

yeah

Lol?

@Terrance Did you sell it?

@Seth LOL I should have! Could have made sum bucks on that thing! =)

Was told too many times that it was Zen music..... Hmmmmmm, not quite when I was installing about 10 of these systems a week at the time in people's homes.

it's only 589MB!!!

I originally downloaded 14.0.0, which has a broken vmmon module

so I copied the entire vmmon source from the GH repo

and VMWare started

but then complained that the library version was too new

but now I'm up and running

honestly easier than expected

Terrance

Hmmm, interesting. That was the only one that worked for vmmon for me. But then I killed my Xubuntu install because I had too many DEs on it and it was dying.
