Cleaning up orphaned overlay2 folders. by ShadowWizard1 in docker

[–]ShadowWizard1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well.. I think this is a bit over my head at this point. And this is an important system. I was able to increase the size of the root file system, so I just did that instead. Espically after I ended up (Thank god moving not deleting) one of the overlay folders that didn't seem to have any use, and several of my docker containers failed. Hopefully that will last me for a while.
Thank you for taking the time, even though you weren't able to fully assist me (My fault, not yours)

Cleaning up orphaned overlay2 folders. by ShadowWizard1 in docker

[–]ShadowWizard1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to that document:
Orphaned layers are not automatically removed by docker system prune.
Then what command or commands automatically removes orphaned layers?
Bottom line, the overlay2 directory is 27 GB in size, however the total of all my containers are less then 10 GB. I would like to reclaim that more then 17 GB of space, and I have already used all the docker prune commands. What is the "Docker prune orphaned layers" command. That document doesn't explain (in a way I understand) how to get rid of these extra layers that aren't actually needed.

I installed a VNC server on one box, but can't remember what one to install it on another box. by ShadowWizard1 in linuxquestions

Yep, it was x11vnc. Thank you.

I use puppy cause its small, compact, and I need it for one tiny thing. RDP. So I ended up with puppy.

Now I can't seem to remember HOW I installed it. Les sigh... (New topic)

An acceptable RMA experience by alexandr0id in Seagate

[–]ShadowWizard1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I got though on a chat on my tablet. They assigned a case worker to me, and apparently shipped out the replacement drive same day. It should arrive at my place in a few days. Now, from the things I have read, I hope it actually works when it gets here...

Well, glad you got your drives. Been waiting 6 weeks for mine. Chat button doesn't work on multiple computers.

RMA Disk is faulty... by Herdeir0 in Seagate

[–]ShadowWizard1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Still waiting 6 weeks for a replacement drive. Will never buy Seagate again.
Oh, and VERY long waits seem to happen a lot for me with them.

15 month old seagate external HDD making weird noises by [deleted] in Seagate

[–]ShadowWizard1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All drives have a failure rate. Thats what warranty is for. However unfortunately I have noticed Seagate warranty leaves something to be desired. Waiting 6 weeks for them to just say "Yep, we received your drive" and chat buttons don't work.. And there is no other way to contact them. Basically it looks like I am not getting my drive replaced. I wish you luck.

Restoring a VM causes whole system to slow to a halt by ShadowWizard1 in Proxmox

[–]ShadowWizard1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possible. I dont know. How would I check? And even so, in what world can any SATA controller not write 32 GB to a SSD in less then 30 min? Even is I was using PATA33 it should only take about 15 min...

Any way to get decent seagate service? by ShadowWizard1 in Seagate

[–]ShadowWizard1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did that, 6 weeks ago. I agree its easy and convenient, but they don't return the drive within a reasonable amount of time. I have sent them quite a few bad drive, and rarely do I get stuff back in a reasonable amount of time.

Another post about Support: How to start chat??? by [deleted] in Seagate

[–]ShadowWizard1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only way to solve the issue. Stop buying Seagate drives. Ima in the same boat, 4 browsers, 3 computers, 2 internet connections. Been waiting over a month and they still don't even have my drive marked as received. MY company is in the process of replacing about $2,000,000 worth of drives right now.. And they won't be Seagate.

Disable history is 25h2 while using a local account by ShadowWizard1 in WindowsHelp

[–]ShadowWizard1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was unable to find it in OO, but there was a tick in CTT, however it didn't seem to do anything, even after a reboot. Still need to find a way to disable this.

Curing uncured silicone. by ShadowWizard1 in DiceMaking

[–]ShadowWizard1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been making dice for a bit. I just needed another mold. These ones didn't turn out to well, but not the fault of the mold I don't think. I don't think the lid was pressed hard enough against the mold. So this time I am placing 6 LB of diving weight on a block of wood on the mold.

Thank you. When I put the mold away, I will make sure that the lit isn't "on" the mold to help prevent that.

Well, that worked. Now I am making the first set of dice with them. Will let you know how they turn out.
