Subject: I have successfully installed Palo Alto VM-Series Software Firewall version 10.0.4 Evaluation in Ubuntu Desktop 22.04.5 LTS KVM Host Good day from Singapore, I have successfully installed Palo Alto VM-Series Software Firewall version 10.0.4 Evaluation in Ubuntu Desktop 22.04.5 LTS KVM Host. Palo Alto VM-Series Software Firewall (PA-VM) Download Links ============================================================= PA-VM 10.0.4: https://www.certcommunity.org/forum/topic/1910-offer-palo-alto-vm-pre-licensed-eval-1004/ PA-VM 11.0.0: https://www.certcommunity.org/forum/topic/4761-offer-palo-alto-vm-1100-qcow2/ It is unfortunate that PA-VM versions 10.2.5 and 11.0.0 don't work on my SGD$150 Intel Celeron J4125 firewall hardware appliance with 16 GB DDR4-2400 RAM (SODIMM) and 128 GB SSD. Perhaps my Intel Celeron processor is too old and is not supported by Palo Alto Networks any more. Anyone can confirm? But PA-VM 10.0.4 works.

Differences in compatibility between old hardware and new hardware for Palo Alto VM-Series Software Firewall in Ubuntu KVM Host

Subject: Differences in compatibility between old hardware and new hardware for Palo Alto VM-Series Software Firewall in Ubuntu KVM Host Good day from Singapore, Let me try to make things clearer. Palo Alto VM-Series Software Firewall is a VIRTUAL MACHINE (VM) inside Ubuntu KVM Host. I want to use Linux-KVM. I chose to install Ubuntu Desktop 22.04.5 LTS because I wanted to use Virtual Machine Manager, which is a GUI. With Ubuntu Server, there is NO GUI. My old hardware consists of AMD Athlon 3000G with Radeon Vega Graphics, ASUS PRIME A320M-K Motherboard, 12 GB of DDR4-2666 RAM and 1 TB SATA harddisk. With the old hardware, Palo Alto VM-Series Software Firewall either keeps shutting down or keeps rebooting, leading to a critical error. That is why I have just bought a refurbished/used/2nd hand firewall appliance with Intel Celeron J4125 processor, 8 GB DDR4-2400 RAM and 128 GB SSD for SGD$120 at Boon Keng MRT station (near 7-11) in Singapore on 27 Mar 2025 Thursday at about 6.45 pm in ...

I have found out the reason why Postfix keeps getting killed by OOM Killer

Subject: I have found out the reason why Postfix keeps getting killed by OOM Killer Good day from Singapore, On 1st March 2025 Saturday, my Postfix service stopped responding. When I executed the "systemctl status postfix" LINUX command, it shows that postfix was killed by the OOM Killer. To solve the problem, I tried restarting the postfix service but it did not solve the problem. Then I tried rebooting my Virtual Private Server (VPS) in Germany but it did not solve the problem. As a last resort, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling postfix but it did not solve the problem as well. My postfix service was consuming 6.2 GB of RAM before it got killed by the OOM Killer. The total amount of physical memory (RAM) my VPS has is only 8 GB. No wonder my postfix service keeps getting killed by the OOM Killer. Is this a Denial of Service (DOS) attack? This morning, on 2nd March 2025 Sunday, I suddenly had an idea. I started checking the Mail Queue. There were 115 messages stuck in th...
