Linux VM always disconnected after a few seconds or minutes

VM on VMware or vSphere always got disconnected after a few seconds or minutes.
CentOS or RHEL VM cannot be accessed via SSH and unable to activate or make the Interface UP.
Typing: ip link show
nmcli dev status
nmcli gen staus
Shows that VM interface is not yet UP.
Typing: ip link set ens192 up
Will bring the interface UP but still SSH is not working and not able to reach the VM.
Typing: nmcli con up ens192
Shows "STATE" connecting but will never shows "connected".
Restarting the VM and creating new interface will not help either.
Typing: nmtui (network manager text user interface)
It shows that the interface has been assigned with correct IP Address, DNS and Gateway
But the VM still not available on the network and SSH cannot access to the VM.
Well the solution, might just be an overlooked by configuring so fast the VM that a simple option was not carefully set.
If the VM was set with IP Address, DNS and Gateway manually, however, the option "Automatic" was not set to Manual on nmtui interface might be the issue.
Technically, nmtui was set with correct IP Details but the connection method was still DHCP and the "manual" or static option was not clicked or chosen as the preferred type of connection.
Selecting to Manual, and selecting "activate" for the interface will resolve the issue.
However, the above method will work only if there are no other issues on the system.
If above method will not work, then further troubleshooting is required.

Cheers! Till next time.

Pray always, it is the gateway to Heaven!

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only. But then the person printing the file accidentally chooses “A4 Cover” then this error 016-799 will occur. ...

WMIC get computer name

WMIC get computer model, manufacturer, computer name and  username. WMIC is a command-line tool and that can generate information about computer model, its manufacturer, its username and other informations depending on the parameters provided. Why would you need a command line tool if there’s a GUI to check? If you have 20 or 100 computers, or even more. It’s quite a big task just checking the GUI to check the computer model and username. If you have remote computers, you need to delegate someone in the remote office or location to check. Or you can just write a batch file or script to automate the task. Here’s the code below on how get computer model, manufacturer and the username. Open an elevated command prompt and type:     wmic computersystem get "Model","Manufacturer", "Name", "UserName" Just copy and paste the code above, the word “computersystem” does not need to be change to a computer name.

Delete Directories with Wildcards using rd or rmdir

  Deleting files in command prompt using wildcards is quite straight forward. Command below will delete all text (".txt") files on the specified path.      Del D:\txtlog\*.txt Command above will delete all files with ".txt" extension in d:\txtlog directory. Easy enough to delete all matching files. Using the same method with rmdir or rd command this will not work. For example, if we have a directory on d drive that is auto-generated by an application and the filename is consistent with a pattern plus incrementing number at the end to differentiate the folder from other folders.    D:\baklogs\log1\    D:\baklogs\log2\    D:\baklogs\log3\    Etc..    D:\baklogs\log100\ The folder name has a consistent pattern that is preceded by the word “log” plus incrementing number. If the command below is executed to remove the directories in one go, an error is shown which h...
