How To Force Flash an AMD Instinct GPU To Another Model Using Debian Ubuntu Mint Linux

Be careful with this and make sure you know what you're doing. In this example we took an Old AMD Instinct Mi25 GPU and flashed to WX9100, because both cards are essentially the same hardware (gfx900) but the WX9100 firmware will enable the miniDP port and also higher power and performance (Mi25 is capped at 110W vs WX9100 170W and of course makes use of the display). Most guides on the internet for some reason have people using a physical ROMprogrammer, which works but is........

VMWare ESXi/VSphere Disable Balloon Segfault in Services Solution

After looking at several deployments of VMWare, we had one deployment where the company enabled balloon mode which is essentially a way to overcommit memory the hostnode(s) don't have. Let's say you have put your database into memory or use a cached service in Apache or haproxy/nginx. VMWare will start taking some portions of these and at some point it corrupts things and the application running will either crash, malfunction or segfault. Another factor is that OOMwill be........

Bad Power Supply Issue Story Diagnosing Troubleshooting

These are fairly classic symptoms but they may not present obviously enough early on. I had a power supply issue with my old Corsair CX430 (430 Watt). The build had two old 95W Xeon CPUs, 2 USB devices and a PCI-E powered Nvidia Quadro or at one point a GT710. This shouldn't have overwhelmed the PS but this power supply is known to be weak by many users. Symptom 1. Graphics Issues This would only present it self after coming back with the........

LSI MegaRAID in Linux Ubuntu / Centos Tutorial Setup Guide megacli

Usually when I come across a system like this, Ijust flash the firmware to an IT mode so we get just an AHCI system with JBOD, but sometimes it is not practical for remote systems or if we fear that flashing is too risky if something goes wrong. In this case, we unfortunately have to use LSI/Broadcom proprietary CLI tools (megacli) to even make the drives visible. Step 1 - Download MegaCLI The official broadcom packages lack .deb packages and only have .rpm for........

Linux and Windows Dual Boot Issue NIC Won't work After Booting Windows

In Windows, with some NICs, especially Intel, Windows may enable features on the card that break it in Linux. It is hard to troubleshoot as what you'll see is that the NIC is still detected in Linux, the NIC/port will be up but nothing will work (eg. DHCP requests or even static IPs won't work). You may see STP bridge traffic but that is all. In a corporate environment this can result in many calls to support and is essentially downtime and an unnecessary waste of resource........

Cloned VM/Server/Computer in Linux won't boot and goes to initramfs busybox Solution

This is mainly for if you've done something silly like trying to clone a Live, running VM image. In this example, the VM initially finds grub and tries to boot but is kicked straight into initramfs rescue mode/busybox right after this. If you've done this "silly" thing, you could have dataloss but a lot of times just using fsck will fix it as you are guaranteed at best to have some corruption and inconsistencies in the filesystem. My theory is that some files wer........

Linux Debian Mint Ubuntu Bridge br0 gets random IP

How to install Windows or other OS and then bring to another computer by using a physical drive and Virtual Machine with QEMU

This has been a tried and true method for Windows because it is finicky with hardware changes without a reinstall (eg BSOD on boot is what happens 9/10 times unless you move to the same hardwar). Surprisingly, if you use a QEMU VM and do a standard install, it has worked in every system I've thrown the drive in afterwards. So the play is this, use a USB SSD, physical SATA drive plugged internally or for convenience, you could use a SATA to USB adapter on another computer to perf........

RHEL 8 CentOS 8, Alma Linux 8, Rocky Linux 8 System Not Booting with RAID or on other servers/computers Solution for dracut and initramfs missing kernel modules

This seems to have changed for RHEL 8 where a normal dracut to update your initramfs creates a system that only boots for the running kernel. For example if you have Kernel 5 and then chroot into a RHEL 8 variant which uses kernel 4.18, and run dracut, it seems that by default the system will be unbootable. It is also the case that if you move your RAID array or drives to another server that it will be unbootable, because dracut seems to only include modules needed for the curre........

How To Do Linux Network Bonding Teaming in Mint Debian Ubuntu

Bonding is an excellent way to get both increased redundancy and throughput. It is similar to the "Network Teaming" feature in Windows. There are a few different modes but we will use mode 6, I think it's the best of both worlds, as it is not just a failover, but it provides round robin, so you will get redundancy and load balancing. So if you have a 1G single port, you will have a combined throughput of 4G at this point. Just bear in mind that the true thr........

Cisco Howto Configure Console Port/Terminal/Comm Server with Async Cable Setup

This assumes that you've already installed the relevant HWIC cards eg.

You connect all of the cables to the devices you need (even non-Cisco devices) whether switches, routers or firewalls, they will usually work. The real m........

EFI PXE grub2 Howto guide for Linux EFI PXE Booting on Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, RHEL

Just a quick note and warning is that if you are testing to see if EFIPXE booting works on a VM, MAKE SURE it actually works. For example Iinitially tested using my Distro's QEMU 2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.46 and ovmf BIOS firmware (OVMF supports EFI). However, I found on old versions of QEMU (like 2.5), EFIbooting with GRUB NEVER works so it may appear that you have made a mistake when everything is fine when you boot a physi........

CentOS 6 and 7 / RHEL Persistent DHCP Solution

It is very silly but the default on the ifup-eth script tells dhclient ( the program that obtains a DHCP IPaddress if you have selected DHCPin your ifcfg-eth* config file) to EXIT / QUIT if the first attempt to obtain a lease fails. No amount of dhclient.conf settings will fix this because if dhclient is started with -1 (which it is by default)then dhclient will quit. This is obviously very bad for MOST cases. Say for example you have a power outage or........

Linux named / bind how to dump, view and clear the cache!

Do you hate it when your ISPhas old cached records because of a high TTLon the DNS record of the relevant domain? In plain English this means you often can't connect to a site or service because your ISP's DNS servers haven't gotten word of the new IP address (probably because they haven't checked). There are also some that are notorious for ignoring TTL and not updating records for days! But if you are lucky and smart enough to have your own Linux based DNS se........

Linux How To Clone One System Harddrive to another remote system

The easiest way is to use SSHand DD or a combination of netcat.

This is also OS independent as it doesn't matter what the source OS is because you are literallly cloning the drive so you retain the partition table and settings. Clone HDD using SSH and DD........

Essentially SSH will do the NAT part even if the........

What's Needed To Fix Linux

I really am a Linux fan but my comments here may not show it. Although I'm quite familiar with Linux CLI to administer servers, I find Linux GUI OS's like Ubuntu at times very clunky.

Linux is made up of several different projects that are generally completely separate and this lack of integratiion is a key issue that makes things f........
