Synology service_initjob_action.c:27 InitJobStart failed, [0xD900 privilege.cpp:60

Today it happened again, trying to start a package in the console and it just failed to start. Digging deeper and looking in /var/log/messages) i saw this error service_initjob_action.c:27 InitJobStart failed, [0xD900 privilege.cpp:60. The full error log is here: 2017-05-12T10:47:22+02:00 DiskStation [2401242.610681] init: pkgctl-CrashPlan pre-start process (8406) terminated with status 1 2017-05-12T10:47:22+02:00 DiskStation synoscgi_SYNO.Core.Package.Control_1_start[7994]: servicecfg_internal_lib.c:187 Failed to start job [pkgctl-CrashPlan][0xD900 privilege.cpp:60] 2017-05-12T10:47:23+02:00 DiskStation synoscgi_SYNO.Core.Package.Control_1_start[7994]: service_initjob_action.c:27 InitJobStart failed, [0xD900 privilege.cpp:60] 2017-05-12T10:47:23+02:00 DiskStation synoscgi_SYNO.

The correct way to use the puppet agent Extension for Windows VMs in Azure ARM template

The examples I found with google were all not working, including the official azure-quickstart templates from Azure. After few hours of testing (starting new VM takes time) I found the correct template by actually looking at a VM where the puppet extension was installed via the Azure Portal. The part with the “placeholder” is of course strange and not needed: the actual settings need to go there, not the dummy stuff.

Upgrading SSD in a Samsung Chromebook

I just wanted to show that it is possible to upgrade the SSD (and memory in fact) of a Samsung Chromebook Series 5. This particular model is from Oct 2012. I’ll show you photos of the internals and parts that I used. So first up a photo of the old and new SSD. Make sure that you get the part type right, SDSA5dk, otherwise the new SSD might not fit.
