The enterprise world is one that is fond of funny, crappy hardware gadgets such as KVM (Keyboard-Video-Mouse) switches, often in the matrix variant: you have one or more consoles connected matrix-style to different computers, for the obvious benefit of not having to connect keyboard, mouse and monitor when needed let alone have a set connected… Continue reading Why your kernel’s drm.edid_firmware parameter doesn’t work anymore in libvirt environments

Consistent udev storage names during and after OS installation: when minimal is too minimal
Getting your custom OS installation ISO to boot from both DVDs and USB sticks is but the first step in making the whole installation working from USB sticks as well. There can still be unexpected pitfalls in the course of the installation process as I encountered yesterday and while my experience was with a specific… Continue reading Consistent udev storage names during and after OS installation: when minimal is too minimal
Recreating ISOs that boot from both DVD and mass storage such as USB sticks and in both legacy BIOS and UEFI environments
This may seem to some of you like a blast from a long forgotten past but that’s what an Enterprise world often looks like: I’ve been seeing scripting that creates a custom Linux installation ISO from given public images, adds extra software repositories, install automation, provisioning for delegating to a dedicated config management tool (Puppet,… Continue reading Recreating ISOs that boot from both DVD and mass storage such as USB sticks and in both legacy BIOS and UEFI environments
Autoyast: Scripts being executed in POSIX mode inspite of being executed with Bash
Here’s another tip related to AutoYast and scripts such as pre-install scripts, indirectly related to the previous post on error reporting.
Autoyast: Error reporting in pre-install scripts
After the opener on Retaining/reusing existing partitions and the followup on Partitioning that works on both real hardware and inside virtual machines, this post looks at error reporting in pre-install scripts.
Autoyast: Partitioning that works both on real hardware and inside virtual machines
Continuing a small series on Autoyast tips and tricks after the first post, Retaining/Reusing existing partitions, let’s look at another use case for dynamically modifying the Autoyast profile.
Autoyast: Retaining/reusing existing partitions
If you plan to do automated installs of openSUSE or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), you will sooner or later meet their installation automation solution, Autoyast. Since there is not much info on the Web on Autoyast control files and scripts apart from the official documentation, I thought I could contribute some of my own… Continue reading Autoyast: Retaining/reusing existing partitions
An alternative introduction to rspamd configuration: Configuration file structure (4/4)
Now that we know the what there is to configure let’s look at the how.
An alternative introduction to rspamd configuration: Scores (3/4)
Let’s have a look at rspamd’s default scores. As mentioned, this is kind of a moving target, the scores in the default configuration can in theory change anytime unless you disable rspamd_update, so you should verify a particular score you want to override in your installation.
An alternative introduction to rspamd configuration: Modules (2/4)
Updated August, 24th, 2018 We already learned that the choice of modules basically determines which tests rspamd executes in analyzing a message. But what are the modules we can choose from? The official documentation has an alphabetical list but let’s instead approach them differently here.
