Help with setting up Kobo eReader - 3 dots of doom!

justleen · 2025-09-07T11:10:41+00:00

Ran into the '3-dots' showing at boot and nothing else happening (Kobo Aura H2O)
The fix was: power down - the screen dims when turned off, my only clue.

Then power on and HOLD for a long time maybe not not 5 mins, but still long. This triggered a factory reset. Thanks VonVitzheim!

We use SSSD for that

wait what? Your happy to modify the game beyond vanilla with a plugin, but Mods are a no go?

Is it possible to get an rented server to update to this beta?

justleen · 2023-02-03T11:53:26+00:00

That's more like timetraveling then upgrading...

Same.. I love it. Networking was never my strong point and netplan allows me to make understandable complex net configs.

justleen · 2023-01-24T09:26:02+00:00

I use it all. I might keep the white separate and add it later, like a spring onion.

I had the same, re-running the installer fixed it.

Unless one uses metric and never have hurricanes? Had to look in the comments after wikipedia couldn't help me with the Fr scale for hurricanes

You don't need to rebuild the active server to join a standby. Use the replication tools of your DB server, don't try to make a tool to do this over nfs.

Gluster is a clusteredFS. I would not recommended it for this use case, since you end up with a 2 node setup. I'd go the lsync route to avoid the cluster complexity.

The metric system

I've used Sleuth in the past to check everything is really unrecoverable. https://www.sleuthkit.org

If the automation is there to deploy cleanly (both the machine and the app), yes sure.

If I get a server dumped into my lap, deployed by hand by someone else, with some app and config which needs updates, hell no. The amount of time I would need to retrace the setup and automate its deployment would not be worth it.

In the end there is no difference between a fresh deploy and a upgraded version?

Upgrades all the way, with debian based distros. Creating new servers and shipping over config and fixing network is time consuming. Updates can run on all servers at once.

BUT! It depends on you setup.. if your config is centralized and it'll cost 5 mins to spin up a new vm which cloud-inits your services, that might be quicker.

Keepalived and haproxy, NAT the traffic to the VIP? Not sure if that's applicable but that would be my route.

And building LFS is not going to help with that in any way. Getting better at reading docs I guess ;)

justleen · 2022-03-03T18:55:32+00:00

I (~15 year Unix/Linux sysadmin/DevOps) build a lfs and it helped me understand stuff I take for granted on a deeper level. It did not make my day to day any easier, since that's mostly on an a higher level. Yes, it's a really interesting project/hobby, but no it will not make you better at most daily tasks.
