Dick Trauma posted:I can't remember who told me that doing the internet OS reinstall would restore my MBP to the out of the box state, but that person was wrong. I expect I have to wipe the drive completely and reinstall to try and unfuck the crappy migration from my old laptop. An internet reinstall will give you a fresh install granted you wipe the drive using disk util after boot and before running the OS installer, but not automatically.

rpop posted:This is a long shot, but anyone know of a way to make OS X request admin password when anything/anyone attempts a restart/shutdown/logout? Quick and dirty way is to create a non admin account, enable fast user switching, and leave that user logged in. Trying to restart while another user is logged in requires an admin password.

Astro7x posted:So is there any fix for if you use Gmail and Mail on Mavericks that it's showing that you have unread emails when they are all read? I am reading about it everywhere, no fix that I can find. I had an issue with the iOS version of Gmail telling me I had unread messages, and it turned out it I had some Gchat logs that Google somehow marked as unread and that counted towards the unread tally. I am using 3 Gmail address in Mail on Mavericks and haven't seen that issue though.

the_lion posted:Thinking about running a VPN on my ol' mac mini core duo for safer interwebs on my iMac late 2012. Unless you are trying to access your iMac remotely in a more secure manner, VPN is not what you are looking for. If you are, Mac OS X Server ($20 app now) is an easy way to set up VPN access to your network.

Binary Badger posted:So it looks like the Migration Assistant update is an update to make Mac users/techs lives harder, because it makes disk images impossible to use. I went through the same thing a few weeks ago and came up empty. I had to restore to a fast USB3 drive and then migrate again. I have NO idea why they would take the image source away.

I tried netatalk with a Centos/Ubuntu VM earlier this year and it was a huge pain in the rear end, and was not very reliable. It would work for a few weeks and then give the dreaded 'could not be verified' error and you would have to start over. I switched my SAN/NAS platform from Nexenta Community to FreeNAS, and its TimeMachine implementation has been rock solid for 2 machines for around 7 months now.

Shaocaholica posted:Whats a reliable zip archiver? Seems like whenever someone sends me something zipped from OS X its corrupt. Granted these are typically huge archives (10G+) but I've never had persistent issues like this with 7z and p7z. I use Keka from the App Store for 7z. It's a couple of bucks, but is really easy to use and updated.

Ashex posted:The last couple days I discovered that my laptop is resetting it's hostname and it's really confusing me. From what I can tell it's happening at work and the hostnames match the naming convention of the windows laptops. Does anyone know how this would happen? Nothing is connecting and resetting it, it just randomly happens. Yup. Once you do that, it will not look for the name via DHCP anymore. That mess started with SL I think, and I can type that command in my sleep after using it so much to ensure my workstations had the proper hostnames.

Ninja Rope posted:Any recommendations for VPN software? Should I use tunnelblik or openvpn? Or Shimo? Or should I just bite the bullet and figure out how to set up Ipsec? I use OpenVPN and love it. They have a ready made virtual appliance too, which makes the setup much easier.

Ninja Rope posted:What client, though? There's no official OpenVPN binary for OSX. I could build it from source (and then get a tun driver elsewhere?) or do you use tunnelblik/shimo/viscosity? There is an official OpenVPN client called OpenVPN Connect. It is included with the server install, and once you authenticate to it, your browser will download it. http://openvpn.net/index.php/access...ent-on-mac.html There is also an official client for iOS is which awesome too.

If you use Xsan, the iSCSI initiator is included, but gently caress you if you don't. The point is that when Apple killed the Xserve, and started scaling back OS X Server a few years ago, they signaled the path to pushing out enterprise and professional applications and support. Now Apple's mantra is 'we are clearly the best at knowing what you want and how to use it, so gently caress you.' See, Final Cut Pro and to a lesser extent, the new Pages, Keynote, and Numbers 'updates'. I used to do video/audio engineering at a previous job, and I was fighting an uphill battle to switch to Windows because I saw this poo poo coming down the pike for a while. The 'professional' workstation with zero PCI-E slots and zero CUDA support, is just laughable at this point if you work in the industry.
