A cluster for Kubernetes. Main issues are motherboard drivers for things like NICs and M2/SATA. Squeezed into a 2U case, cooling is interesting too. While we ended up rolling out ubuntu 20.04, I spent some time evaluating them on devuan 3. Everything was supported, save the onboard NIC, so ended up running a pair of low profile cards in each to get LACP to a pair of switches. We also went with some USB based temp monitoring and fan control units, not supported on devuan 3 due to libraries, thus ubuntu. Might pay me to go look at this issue again now I’ve moved machines to devuan 4. The desktop MoBos support GPU on the CPU, A DVI port is on the MoBo, however that was not in the CPU model we chose, so ran a low profile GPU instead. Next time I build something like this, I would rather the GPU be on chip to avoid extra pci-e cards. Look to the chipset on your MoBo of choice before hand. Hopefully you can avoid any pain this way in advance =) Cheers, Kim ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
Re: [DNG] nvidia-persistenced can't be installed
I wondered why I needed nvidia-parsistenced when someone said thet solved the proboem by doing without it, I decided I could as well. Deleting the application seems to have done no harm.

Marjorie, Thanks! I don't know how nvidia-persistenced got (partially) installed, but see it is optional. Following your advice I simply deleted it. -- Haines Brown ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

The problem I found is caused by the nvidia-persistenced init not checking for an existing running copy of nvidia-persistenced. i) if you don't use CUDA then you can simply get rid of nvidia- persistenced. ii) if you want CUDA then you can patch /etc/init.d/nvidia-persistenced My dev1galaxy forum posts might be of some help: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=20903#p20903 - my fixed version of /etc/init.d/nvidia-persistenced. and https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=20917#p20917 - which explains that you can probably also get away with simply removing or disabling nvidia-persistenced as for most use cases it's not needed unless you want to use CUDA. If you can't access these I can send you the patched init. -- Marjorie ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I have had several instances of this problem. I posted a workaround https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20210122.105344.eab549d1.en.html I have been doing this for over a year every time it crops up: the list of affected packages has grown since that post, and the workaround seems to be without consequences. Perhaps someone who knows stuff could comment.
