After upgrading synergy, every time I would hit the shift key on the remote screen, it would crash. I found the bug report, and decided to roll back the package. To make sure it didn’t get upgraded automatically, I did this:
# echo "synergy hold" | dpkg --set-selectionsOf course this will also work for Ubuntu.
When looking on a pxe boot install server, you can see what the newest clients were to boot. If you don’t have KVM access on new servers to be installed, just look at the newest lease info, and make an educated guess about which new one to login to the auto-installer environment (preseed) via ssh.
Here’s a snippet from the leases file:
lease 10.101.40.85 {
starts 3 2013/05/15 19:54:36;
ends 3 2013/05/15 20:54:36;
cltt 3 2013/05/15 19:54:36;
binding state active;
next binding state free;
hardware ethernet 00:30:48:5c:cf:34;
uid "\001\0000H\\\3174";
}
And after some parsing:
# cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases | grep -e lease -e hardware -e start -e end | grep -v format | grep -v written | sed -e '/start/s/\// /g' -e 's/;//g' -e '/starts/s/:/ /g' | paste - - - - | awk '{print $2" "$18" "$6" "$7" "$8" "$9" "$10" "$11" "$14" "$15}' | sort -k 3,3n -k 4,4n -k 5,5n -k 6,6n -k 7,7n -k 8,8n | awk '{print $1" "$2" "$3"/"$4"/"$5" "$6":"$7":"$8" "$9" "$10}' | column -t
