I'm getting old. I can't post the buses on time.

@sublt : Did you check with the lscpu command? ...

Ah, now that you mention this: I have checked my RAM and I should have got 1024MB but only got 960MB [Order Number is: 5922917779]:

# free -m
                total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:             960         406         147           2         567         553

I am missing 64MB~

I wanted to update my address from https://billing.virmach.com/clientarea.php?action=details but when I submit it says:
"The following errors occurred:
You did not enter your email address"

You need to re-add the disabled fields as hidden fields~

On a positive note: the PTR/rDNS setup is working!

Updated. I think this one was my fault when modifying it manually in this case. Reboot for it to take effect. The system wouldn't do something weird like that for future reference where it doesn't set the right CPU but sets everything else correctly. Well I mean it could but it doesn't, so far.

Operating system you have installed (probably Debian?) just displays your memory like that in that view.

We're going to bring back a system to request changes, but until then you need to contact us.

@VirMach can you ping me when you have Debian 12 OS image fixed?.. I will try from my side as well~

A support request just to change an address?!....

AGALEEL · November 25

@VirMach Hi there, I bought a VPS recently but the server configuration seems inconsistent with the promotion package. It has only 512M ram + 10G disk space + 512G bandwidth, while the blackfriday offer shows it should have 512M ram + 15GB disk space + 1024G bandwidth. The invoice number is #1661909. Could you please help check what's wrong? Thank you!

Login via VNC as root.

Update your /etc/apt/sources.list like below:

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb  https://deb.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

apt update
apt install openssh-server
add your public key to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys (the VNC paste is quite helpful here)

Now you should be able to ssh in as root and do whatever.

jcn50 · November 25

@nullnothere oh thanks for this! But it should really work from inception....

Here is the single command to fix Debian 12:
echo -e "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware\ndeb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware\ndeb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware" >/etc/apt/sources.list && apt update -y && apt install openssh-server -y

@VirMach where do we stand in terms of upgrade of the flash sales plans?... Is it possible? At what rate?

My understanding is that flash sale plans are NOT upgrade-able or stack-able.

Agreed - for whatever reason the template is broken.

Beware that by default Debian doesn't allow password based root login - so just installing OpenSSH will not allow you to login as root (I'm not sure if there's another user that is already setup for you to login via password).

"login as root remotely" right? Can still login on console as root to create the user if you need.

JoeMerit · November 25

You can mount the Debian 12 ISO and install from that, then you don't have to worry about someone having done something to the templates.

The installation of Docker on Debian 11 system has always failed. Is it a system problem?

The docker startup failed due to the kernel version problem. Updating to kernel version: 5.10.0-33-amd64 solved the problem! !

@skorous said: login as root remotely" right

Yes (specifically via ssh) - the context of my replies was related to OpenSSH (or so I thought).

Yeah I noticed that~ had to run this command:
sed -i "s/#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password/PermitRootLogin yes/" /etc/ssh/sshd_config && reboot

If your order gets marked as Fraud as a beta tester, you should definitely address it here. I don't know how things will end up but having an incomplete order could end up counting you as being a potential deal sniper (the kind that places orders and doesn't complete them.) It's not currently set up to take that into account since it's a bug. Usually the order would bee caught and you'd still be allowed to complete it. nothing crazy will happen, other than maybe being locked out of each new sale for X period of time or something if that ends up being enabled.

Just throwing that out there, I'll probably have more information soon on some official policy on how we'll deal with incomplete orders, with potential options to restore it if you do want to proceed but we're also not trying to encourage people into taking advantage of that by doing that (placing orders, not completing) then deciding later if they want to contact us about it.

I think they had the template broken, we never got to doing our own version because we're VirMach, and then they pushed out a bug fix for the original issue which was actually related to how SolusVM handled the template rather than the template itself (I believe we disabled Debian 12 for a while.) Then I saw that, resynced the new version after updating to that fixed version, and I guess they just did some other things within the template this time.

@VirMach here's a lil trick that makes the countdown work on firefox and edge and not just chrome

replace this

with this

    var pst = new Date('01-01-2024 00:00:00 UTC-08:00');
    var local = new Date('01-01-2024 00:00:00');
    var serverToLocalOffset = pst - local;

    var countDownDate = new Date(data[productid]['started']).getTime() + serverToLocalOffset + parseInt(data[productid]['saleduration']);
    var now = new Date().getTime();

    // Find the distance between now and the count down date
    var distance = countDownDate - now;

you're welcome

Sorry every time I launch Firefox it brings up an old-school alert box that does what an alert box is supposed to do which is preventing you from clicking anywhere else and getting your attention but then I get mad, force crash it and uninstall, so it's hard to do any testing.

Okay seems like they stopped doing that finally so I have it installed again. Seems to be working for me, I guess the workaround is to be in my timezone, or does it happen in some other specific cases?

Anyway, I don't want to waste your donated code so I'll blindly push it out now. Thank you
