Lots of poor documentation around the interwebs for this… here is the required packages to make this useful. If you want the normal driver with xorg just remove headless from the package name.
apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) -y
apt install nvidia-headless-470-server nvidia-utils-470-server libnvidia-encode-470-server -yThis took forever to find, saving here for others.
This is a placeholder for me comprehending how video encoding works… I’ll update/edit as I become more familiar.. please don’t assume I have any idea what im talking about.
But, basically you have a GOP (group of pictures) and that GOP has a specified number of frames per second. So lets say you have a 30 FPS video, it has 30 frames per second of data, you can have a number of GOP that is different than that though.
So lets say you have a GOP size of 90, but your frame rate is 30 FPS. You will then have 29 P-Frames per I-Frame, For a total of 87 P-frames and 3 I-Frames.
I-Frames are ENTIRE picture, P-Frames are the “guess” at what changed since the last I-Frame. More I-Frames = more bandwidth.

sudo dnf install -y network-scripts
sudo systemctl disable --now firewalld NetworkManager
sudo systemctl enable network && sudo systemctl start network
sudo touch /etc/sysconfig/disable-deprecation-warnings
Most us devops engineer nerds have to deal with old java versions for things like IPMI and network device configuration tools… New versions of Java literally refuse to work due to security issues… soooo I present to you.. a solution!
Once you’ve done that, simply open the jnlp file with “OpenWebStart” and it will just “work”. You may need to open the settings app for OpenWebStart and select the OpenJDK JVM over Horacle java.
These rules below will allow you to add Ipv6 to all of your instances.. by default openstack only allows ipv6 between the same security group.

Automator:
Using MacOS “Automator” and “switchaudio-osx” from Brew I was able to automate switching to my logitech 533 headset automagically. I have this setup on a key binding for control+F13
The code:
on run {input, parameters}
set theSwitch to "/usr/local/Cellar/switchaudio-osx/1.0.0/SwitchAudioSource"
set theSource to do shell script theSwitch & " -c"
try
if theSource = "Built-in Output" then
do shell script theSwitch & " -t output -s \"G533 Gaming Headset\""
do shell script theSwitch & " -t input -s \"G533 Gaming Headset\""
display notification "Audio switched to G533 Headset." with title " Audio Input/Output Switcher"
else
do shell script theSwitch & " -t output -s \"Built-in Output\""
do shell script theSwitch & " -t input -s \"Built-in Microphone\""
display notification "Audio switched to Internal iMac Devices." with title " Audio Input/Output Switcher"
end if
end try
return input
end runYou’re welcome.
The CentOS kernel is really old… some hardware requires a newer kernel, like intel VROC requires kernel 4.15+ to work properly…
This guide assumes you’ve installed the kernels for the CentOS AltArch kernel repo: http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/kernel/x86_64/
#Download latest pxe kernel initramfs
wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos-7/7/os/x86_64/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz -O /tmp/pxeinitrd.img
#Make a directory
mkdir /tmp/pxeinitrd
cd /tmp/pxeinitrd
#Extract the kernel into the folder
/usr/lib/dracut/skipcpio /tmp/pxeinitrd.img | xzcat | cpio -idmv
#Remove the old kernel modules
rm -rf lib/modules/*
#Copy in the kernel modules from your new kernel, in this case its 4.19.84-300.x64_64 or CentOS AltArch
rsync -r /lib/modules/4.19.84-300.el7.x86_64/* lib/modules/4.19.84-300.el7.x86_64/
#Compile the ramdisk..
find . 2>/dev/null | cpio -c -o | xz -9 --format=lzma > /tmp/initrd.4.19.84-300.el7.x86_64.img
#Grab your files and stick em in your pxe directory
cp /tmp/initrd.4.19.84-300.el7.x86_64.img /var/lib/tftpboot/images/centos7/initrd.img
cp /boot/vmlinuz-4.19.84-300.el7.x86_64 /var/lib/tftpboot/images/centos7/vmlinuzNode dies? Put disk in another node and run this. Magic.
