Neither closed or open software is safer than the other in my opinion. If someone wants to find a vulnerability they will find a vulnerability. The only advantage open source maybe has that it's harder to hide vulnerabilities for years and it's more obvious if they don't fix it. But personally I wouldn't use open source just for safety reasons.
Even if you don't buy a lottery ticket an infinite of you wins
For me it sounds like more like a PR move. It sounds like they just want people to adopt Oracle Linux because now it's the good thing and when they'll have the chance they'll do the same thing. Not necessarily exactly what Red Hat (and IBM) did but something that won't benefit the community but them. But maybe this is just my superstition or something and it won't come to this. I hope it won't come to this but I doubt it
I just turned off NSFW in settings. It doesn't really remove all nsfw posts but it hides them so you have to click a button to show the nsfw post. Not the best solution overall but the best we have right now
Edit: the setting is called Hide NSFW
They give extended support after a Ubuntu version is EOL if you're a subscriber. By the way there's a free version of the subscription for personal use up to 5 devices I think, maybe more maybe less.
I was using the ubuntu-drivers utility that this page mentions too but it turns out it isn't working very much. Now I installed with the manual method from this page using apt install linux-modules-nvidia-${DRIVER_BRANCH}${SERVER}-${LINUX_FLAVOUR} and it's working. Thank you for the suggestion!
Shows up in lspci. Booting a live OS would be a little bit tricky because it's in a wall mounted rack but I will try that if nothing else works. Thank you.
Hello everyone,
Today the nvidia driver on my server stopped working out of nowhere. Yesterday it was working and today it's not. I didn't do anything in yesterday or today.
Today my Plex container stopped working because there was a problem with the nvidia card I was using for transcoding. It's a GTX 1650.
I tried running nvidia-smi and it said Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch. After I tried upgrading my system because it was a months ago I upgraded, maybe it will help. It didn't. I tried some rebooting because some sources said it solves the issue but it persisted.
It's driver reinstall time. Purged the driver with apt purge nvidia* then installed driver with ubuntu-drivers install --gpgpu nvidia:525-server. After reboot nvidia-smi gives the error NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running..
lsmod | grep nvidia shows nothing and /proc/driver/nvidia/version doesn't exists. I tried starting nvidia-persistenced with systemctl but it gives this error:
Failed to query NVIDIA devices. Please ensure that the NVIDIA device files (/dev/nvidia*) exist, and that user 113 has read and write permissions for those files.
/dev/nvidia\* doesn't exist.
I'm very noobish when it comes to nvidia and linux it was a pain to set it up initially and I was hoping that it wouldn't go wrong someday. But here I am unfortunatelly. I don't really know what logs should I show you or what commands should I run to troubleshoot so every tip is appreciated and I will provide logs and things like that if needed.
System info:
- Ubuntu Server 22.04
- kernel: 5.15.0-76-generic
- theoretically installed nvidia driver: nvidia-driver-525-server
Solution
I was using the ubuntu-drivers utility to install the driver but turns out it's not that great. After installing with the manual method from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaDriversInstallation using the command apt install linux-modules-nvidia-${DRIVER_BRANCH}${SERVER}-${LINUX_FLAVOUR} it's working again.
Started with Bitwarden years ago, then I used 1password for a few months and now I'm using Keepassxc (Keepass2Android on my phone).
And I recommend everyone to use one. Not necessarily Keepass if they are not very tech savy (database synchronization can be a little bit tricky but not hard). Bitwarden was good too but Keepassxc supports adding ssh keys which is a big plus for me.
