  1. I have more info. It is just 1 user using a file server in the office. He uses Access on his personal laptop and accesses the databases on the file server via his LAN. There is a front end UI and a back end so I'm not sure how you would migrate that. The server is old and going to die so they are looking at a cloud solution, furthermore it would be good to access this from anywhere outside the office. One time he tried to access from home using a VPN but it was terrible experience but he may just been using a bad provider.
  2. Hey everyone, What solution is best to use to move an on server Access database to a Cloud platform? The reasoning behind it is the usual extra redundancy and security. Is it just a case of moving it from the server to Azure? (I saw some basic videos of how to do this via CSV etc). If so, how do people then use that database, is there an option in Access to point to some URL where the database is in Azure or do they need to RDP to some VM in Azure which has Access and the database on it? Or are there 3rd party vendors who will do this for you or have a better way of doing it? Thanks for any help!
  3. I don't want to game or anything, just watch movies on the flight. It seems this 90w is not actually recognised by windows but when I connect the charger to the device the same LEDs like up as it would do if the right charger was plugged in hmm. Doubt I can undervolt my 4800H either.
  4. I travel a fair bit and I can't charge my Lenovo laptop legion 5 as it just trips the socket in air planes as it draws too much current. I did just try to buy a random lenovo 90w charger but it doesn't charge the laptop at all. Any other gadgets would could help with reducing the voltage to maybe 90W? Or perhaps there are some Windows settings I need to put to like not use the GPU?
  5. I see hmm, will research into this. So I would be browsing from my own personal PC? The server already has an IP I need though as it's in a country which I require.
  6. Ah I literally just use it to browse a website from a certain IP address. Hosting company wanted to charge a bucket load for it to have Microsoft Server on it. Fuck that.
  7. I totally understand this no worries. I had a solution of perhaps installing a Windows VM on the system and then just directly connecting to the Windows VM box with my remote tool. Maybe that is a work around.
  8. Ok that could be an explanation, by any chance do you know if there are 'best' remote control gui tools for Linux in any chance?
  9. Just if I connect to it with a remote tool like Teamviewer or NoMachine the general response is non existant, like I can see the screen of the server but its just frozen or like massive massive delay (a few minutes) of it responding even if I just click.
  10. Hi there, I bought a dedicated remote server but I'm noticing its freezing or becoming very slow to respond within sometimes just a matter of a few hours. I therefore has to log in via putty and do a sudo reboot and then when it comes back up it seems to be fine. I am just wondering how I can trouble shoot this, I check resource manager but didn't notice anything too weird and speedtest showed 1GB symmetrical which would suggest no network issue. I connect using teamviewer and no machine and its the same issue. This is what I am running:
  11. Hi all, I purchased a remote server to do some experimentation on however I'm getting all sorts of bugs, unstability and errors. I used putty initially to install Kubuntu 20.04 / Ubunutu 20.04.1 LTS but now I just want to wipe it all and start fresh with Linux Mint (cinnamon) which I can install from putty again (I believe?). I don't have any data I need to save on the server.
  12. There is not, seems like I would need to ask them to do it. The provider is OneProvider for whatever that is worth.
  13. Right, it seems pretty basic but I just enabled something called 'API'. Looks like I can issue commands but not sure I want to do these.
  14. I bought it with Ubuntu 18 so I guess thats the base. I put Ubunutu 20 on top it but the control panel still says it has Ubuntu 18 but doubt if it is dynamically updating and checking that on the provider's control panel.
  15. It is listed in my control panel as "dedicated server". When I purchased it I said not to install any OS on it because I was able to work out how to use SSH to install a Linux shell on it. Linux was free by default so went with that. It says it has Ubuntu 18.04 LTS but I installed version 20 ubunutu gui on top of it. Currently Running: UBUNTU 20.04.01 LTS Codename: Focall
  16. Hi there, I bought a Linux server online so I don't have physical access to it. I have been able to SSH to it and install Ubuntu on it but I notice some things are not working how they should been so I want to nuke it and start again. I figure my best bet would be to partition the existing HDD and then somehow install WIndows or Linux to it and then change the boot priority or is there a smart way to by default load into 1 partition then I can hot switch to the other? I can't physically be at the device to choose which to to boot to after my teamviewer and other remote software kick in right? From my experience with Windows, the bootloader is part of the BIOS so no way to control it remotely? Currently Running: UBUNTU 20.04.01 LTS Codename: Focall
  17. Hey everyone. I'm a total linux noob and bought a remote server for some personal reasons. Anyway after a lot of fiddling around I put xfce4 on but didn't like the interface so I ended up putting Kubuntu on it, then I changed it to put Gnome on. I had Teamviewer installed and all was good. I couldn't get VNC to work but RDP from a Windows machine did but it kept taking me to the XFCE4 interface so I uninstalled it in hoping it would just go into Gnome. Anyway I run a load of commands but now I can ping/ssh to the server but can't teamviewer to the machine even though I can see its online. When I RDP from a linux or windows machine i see the login boss with the blue screen but after typing in my credentials that box closes. I'm guessing Linux is just totally buggered on it, I have no data on it so I don't mind to reset it. Any ideas?!
  18. I currently have MDT setup to deploy Windows over the network like most companies do. I just wonder though is it possible to do this wirelessly rather via lan cable? It's not a permanent thing, more of a project / proof of concept. So I would boot the laptop up via WiFi card and connect to deployment server that way rather than using LAN cable..
  19. Happened just now this afternoon, it wasn't an issue with the dock, I removed everything and still just the laptop screen only it was like 10fps. It self recovered after 10-15 minutes. I didn't test disabling throttle stop in case it was an undervolt problem but I thought if it was voltage problem it just means it would lock up which I have experienced many times, not a performance degredation.
  20. Yeah I have dell command update always checking and intel driver support assist, always up to date.
  21. I have a Dell XPS 9560 and when I play a game, it will just random decrease in FPS for maybe 10 minutes. I can play WoW Classic or Halo MCC for hours and hours then it just all of a sudden my machine will become unsuable, Windows will be very slow and laggy. It seems to recover itself after maybe 15 minutes? I have done ALL tweaks possible and testing and I can't understand why this happens so I don't get what the fuck is going on. This is what I've done: -Padded VRMs -Repasted CPU and GPU -Undervolted CPU by 110 and iGPU by 75 -SST is on, EPP is set to 110 -Turbo boost is off -Used MSI afterburner to undervolt GPU -Battery is disconnected, it's on some 'ultra performance' power mode. -Uninstalled Intel Dynamic Thermal Framework -Disabled BD PROCHOT -Nvidia control panel is set to use integrated graphics for everything apart from my 2 games (WoW classic and Halo MCC - not demanding games). -I have the machine plugged into 180W WD19 docks (connected to 2 screens, I game on one of the external screens) - This is the only variable I can think off which is maybe causing issue. -My temps are like 60s maximum when gaming, maybe the odd bit of 70 if its a warm day. I'm running a very streamline version of Windows 10, it was like 2GB or something. Maybe it's that but hmm.
