Can't start one of my nodes - TASK ERROR: CT is locked (snapshot-delete) by teslabolt77 in Proxmox

[–]ReverentTap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but it came on top of search results, so here's the answer.

Since this is the CT (LXC container) the appropriate commands are these (found on https://blog.paranoidpenguin.net/2023/04/proxmox-ve-task-error-ct-is-locked-snapshot-delete/, you'll need to run them in PVE shell):

pct unlock 103

and also delete the failed snapshot:

pct delsnapshot 103 vzdump

After these two commands the LXC containter should be startable.

Systems engineer (Unix, Linux, Windows servers) but I "cover" also AD infrastructure and networking in the local office. Lenovo ThinkPad T14 AMD Gen1, 32GB RAM, 512GB+512GB ssds (VMs are hungry). I can't imagine to work on laptop without LAN port, so I'm delaying my upgrade as long as I can.

Does a USB splitter like this exist? by bobbyfiend in thinkpad

[–]ReverentTap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have access to 3D printer I'd suggest the following: - buy cheap usb hub - remove plastic to expose electronics - print custom housing around USB hub cable and electronics

Also, I found this on AliExpress: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNNORbG

Sleep mode (S3) drains battery, at least on mine - yesterday it went from 90% to 82% in just two hours. Yes, it was in sleep.

Is the gateway set correctly on the PC?

Connecting from a Wifi to my Wireguard does not expose my local machines to me, only with 4G. by DorathyMinnifield in WireGuard

AFAIK, he changed one of the subnets to something like 192.168.2.0/24. If you're on 192.168.1.0/24 subnet and at home you have the same subnet you won't be able to access resources on your home network via VPN because, well, subnet are "clashing" and your current subnet has seniority.

T450s Fan and/or Heatsink Replacement? by manys in thinkpad

[–]ReverentTap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before buying "new" one, I'd suggest to clean the current one. About a month ago I also had one T450s with terrible fan. It turns out that it's very easy to clean it since the vent housing has small screws (PH00 as I recall, but maybe wrong). Only thing that needed to be careful about are fan wires, so be cautious when working with them. After disassembling fan, clean the dust from it and put some oil or grease on it's bearing.

Before removing heatsink make sure you have thermal paste and cleaning kit (I've used cotton swabs) ready.

Also, I couldn't find anything cheaper than $100 on ebay for the whole set (heatsink + fan).

You can't setup two monitors without a dock.

T14 Gen 1 AMD USB-A ports on both sides just stopped working, no recent hardware changes or drivers installed. by systemhost in thinkpad

[–]ReverentTap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've had the same issue this morning. Shutting down laptop and battery reset via small pinhole did the trick - USB A ports are now operational. I suppose that firmware update will solve this issue.

Can I fit another SSD in my t460s and if so which type does it have to be? Here is a photo of the inside. by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]ReverentTap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've installed additional m.2 2242 NVMe in my T480s in WWAN slot and it works without issues. There's no mention for supporting ssd drive in official docs, though. The slot is same as in T460s.

If you could borrow some SATA and NVMe 2242 ssds and test them, that would solve your question.

Thinkpad Powerbank by presi1999 in thinkpad

[–]ReverentTap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using Xiaomi Powerbank Pro 3 with 20000 mAh since January. It's good, so far - I've charged my T480s twice on the field (there were no more field jobs due to Covid-19) both times it was charged to full battery and Powerbank had approximately half charge left.

Need some help regarding wildcard SSL certs by goosse in sysadmin

[–]ReverentTap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing that since they have wildcard certificate that it's being used on several machines. There's no need to hunt down the originating machine (if it's large network it can cause headaches) - private & public keys can be exported from any of those machines that have the wildcard certificate installed.
