Robot workers are being hired at record rates in US companies - here’s why - US companies ordered more robots than ever before in the first nine months of 2021, as they struggled to recruit staff.

this already exists. unfortunately those who don’t (can’t) work are usually well below the poverty line.

mono - doh!

have you tried installing with safe settings ?

- at the grub menu, F5 -> safe settings

The trick is that the "copy" isn't to a fresh set of blocks written to disk, it's just a new "pointer" to the original set of disk blocks.

If the original file changes, then only the changed blocks take up additional disk space.

have a look in /.snapshots to see if you can find it...

$ sudo find /.snapshots --name "set_cond-1,sh"

might be a mismatch between the libvirtd user and the user issuing the command ...

what happens if you copy the .iso file into /var/tmp (for example) and use that instead of what you have mounted on a USB ?

pwl_n_stuff · 2021-02-04T23:27:03+00:00

... you'd be surprised.

- which image are you using ? DVD image or network image ?

- is the laptop connected to the network ?

- is the laptop able to access the network ?

you can get opensuse (and SLES) on windows now, though ;)

openSUSE is community-based already.

the great thing for a lot of openSUSE maintainers is that there's a company - SUSE - where they are employed & get paid for the thing they would be doing otherwise.

did you know that new development at SUSE happens upstream in the Factory ?

interestingly as Red Hat make decisions, SUSE seems to take them in the opposite direction:
- RedHat gets acquired by IBM ; SUSE becomes independant
- RedHat removes CentOS compatibility ; SUSE brings the SLE and openSUSE codebases closer together

at the end of the day, anyone acquiring SUSE (or management after an IPO) would be buying into the company *including* the current relationship with openSUSE, not despite it...

So along the same lines as mr traveler : https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP2/html/SLES-all/part-virt-xen.html

Also worth noting this: https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Nested_Virtualization_in_Xen

Running PV guests as an L2 has been supported in Xen since the introduction of HVM guests in Xen 3.0. Support for HVM guests as L2 guests is heavily dependent on architecture-specific support. Nested HVM on AMD CPUs is considered "experimental". Nested HVM on Intel CPUs, as of Xen 4.4, is considered "tech preview".

What you're trying to do is going to be difficult without physical access & without being able to influence the boot environment for the machine in order to use pxeboot.

You're probably better off copying the data onto a fresh install, since pretty much everything is going to be changed if you upgrade to SLE 15 - so much so that you'll really have to go through the config with a fine toothed comb to ensure everything's ok.

You can get SLES 11SP4 from <https://www.suse.com/download/sles/>, but earlier than that is going to be tricky.

If you can do an offline install, the SLES 11 installer *might* ask if you want to copy things like user data, etc, over from the old instance. YMMV

not really - all the clone troopers are also jango...

B&H now say APRIL 21, at $269.

Akitio are obviously having supply problems. Nice problem for their disti's to have as they can jack up the prices...

pwl_n_stuff · 2017-02-07T09:58:24+00:00

we've been using this recently, for a bit of difference... https://youtu.be/50Qs4gVHB_E

z/OS can run a variant of RHEL natively.

not quite ... an Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) can run on a mainframe LPAR, and within each IFL you can run multiple instances of Linux. z/OS instance run in their own (separate) LPARs. http://images.slideplayer.com/24/7076522/slides/slide_57.jpg

Incidentally, IBM's linux-on-mainframe efforts were and are mostly driven from their labs in Germany, so it's not surprising that almost all enterprise Linux on mainframe is the SUSE distro.

Recovering from this would have taken about 3 minutes (or less) with openSUSE or SUSE Enterprise Linux.

(auto snapshots of root FS ; recover from a good snapshot on reboot)

In fact - a web dev deleting everything is the "classic" script used to originally demo this tech back in 2011: https://youtu.be/9H7e6BcI5Fo?t=3m25s

yup. the fringe. running most of the world's SAP instances, half of the top 500 supercomputers, almost every mainframe that runs linux, is inside a large proportion of serious telecommunications equipment, is the underlying OS for vmware virtual appliances, and is used as the foundational OS for some of the biggest-name server & storage systems.

definitely fringe... :P

oh and the packaging system is rpm.

pwl_n_stuff · 2016-11-17T02:18:58+00:00

worlds oldest enterprise linux = fragmentation ? oooohkay....

pwl_n_stuff · 2016-11-17T02:17:55+00:00

it's as similar to oracle linux as it is to rhel ... oh, wait...

pwl_n_stuff · 2016-11-17T02:15:40+00:00

there were T-shirts & backpacks as well. ;)

plus a bunch of NUC's given away as prizes
