I was wondering, if I do not have hardware that natively supports full virtualization...and I choose to use KVM, will my VMs be running in some form of chip emulation (and therefore terribly slow). To date, I've been using Xen and am very comfortable with it. I have some fears that later whenever Xen is dropped - I'll have to consider KVM. Also, will Xen be carried forward should

I just tried to change the memory for my F11 xen guest from 512 to 1024. After executing: xm mem-set workstation 1024 xm list shows the memory still being 512. Anyone else see this behavior before? I tried other values as well - but the memory is still what it was when I created the VM... I'm running CentOS 5.4 on an i386... Scot P. Floess 27 Lake Royale Louisburg, NC 27549

I have some weird behavior I can't explain... I've noticed this behavior since CentOS 5.2 (version I started running) through 5.4... I am running a Xen host/VM. On my guest VM, I use Alpine as my email client and Aspell as the spell-check... For whatever reason, when Aspell is kicked off - there appears to be what I'd call a prolonged pause before Aspell does its job. Should I

I have a question about a Xen host that runs dhcpd and installing guest/running guest VMs on that host (that use DHCP)... On other hosts or hosts running VMs, they are absolutely able to get DHCP addresses no trouble... However, the fun begins when the machine I run dhcpd on is also hosting VMs. I can see in /var/log/messages the request and ack from dhcpd but the guest VMs never hear it.

I am running CentOS 5.4 (both i386 and x86_64 - different physical machines)... I've been able to get Fedora 11 running as a Xen guest - no trouble. However, I have had no luck with Fedora 12. My kickstart file lists /boot as ext3 - but for whatever reason Fedora 12 insists on making /boot ext4. I do have a bare metal machine running Fedora 12, so I thought "let me try to put

I have a really silly question... but just want to ask... I have one box on my home network that is x86_64 capable... My other boxes are all i386. As this x86_64 machine can, at most, house 4 GB of RAM (currently only has 1 GB) - is there any advantage to my running x86_64 on that machine instead of i386... Long story as to why I am asking - but before I go off and moveit down to i386 -

centos has the 4 virtual desktops by default. if I have a terminal window open in desktop 1 is there a command I can execute (type in) to switch to desktop 2? The mouse will not be attached at this point and I want to switch views using a command line. How do I do that? Thanks, Jerry

I'm in the process of setting up subversion and since the version packages with C5 is, shall we say, showing its age, I've built an updated version. In order to do that I had to upgrade sqlite from the default 3.3.6 (which the current subversion will not build with) and I went with 3.6.22. Has anyone else had any experience with whether or not that breaks anything? I'm a little

Hi, I setup a FreeNX server with a GNOME desktop, and I can access it from a client with the NoMachine client. Everything is running fine, and now I only have two problems left : audio and printing forwarding. I'll follow the "only-slay-one-dragon-at-a-time" rule and take care of audio first. Did anyone manage to forward sound with FreeNX ? Here, server and client are using

Doing a kickstart install of Fedora 12 results in a non-bootable image. >From a virt-maanger instance, the error produced when trying to run the domU is: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 498, in run_domain vm.startup() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 573, in startup

Is it possible to use isolinux to create a bootable dvd? I have a .iso that boots fine from cd but not from dvd. I have a Dell OptiPlex GX240 with dvd/cd drive. Dont know for sure if the bios requires an update to boot dvd. Any info would be appreciated.

Hi folks I have more than 12 years experience with UNIX system administration, but I am too stupid for programming. My only programming experience is shell scripting. I tried to learn Java, but don't understand it because it is too complicated for my limited brainpower. What programming language should I learn? A friend said that C-Sharp (Mono) is very simple. Is this true? cheers Sven

Is it possible to have Calls incoming to different DIDs? I want an AA that handles 100s of businesses. [Incoming-pizza] Exten => 4045551212,1,Goto(pizza,s,1) [Incoming-hvac] Exten => 8085551212,1,Goto(hvac,s,1) [Incoming-gutter] Exten => 6175551212,1,Goto(gutter,s,1)

The TDM410P doesn't support 'hvac', only the obsolete TDM400P supports that option was for the old phones that have a neon light (or equivalent LED+ZENER ciruit). Are other phones off the TDM410P (other than the VTECH) working, or is the Vtech the only model with VMWI available to you. I'm not able to check at the moment, I have copied the asterisk-users list, someone else may

Trying to debug a database server getting cpu softlocks causing SSHD to hang and not let anybody log in. Figured that a good first step would be to get some kernel dumps when the problem occurs. According to what I read at the following web site, I can get dumps for softlock problems too. Here's the site: http://blog.kreyolys.com/2011/03/17/no-panic-its-just-a-kernel-panic/ Using a

Hi I tried to install the * in my Radhat 7.3 machine. The "gmake" and "gmake install" went fine, but "gmake sample" gave me errors of "configs/*.adsi", "sounds/demo-*" and "sounds/*.mp3" errors. I created a dummy.adsi in the configs folder and commented out the "sounds/demo-*" and "sounds/*.mp3" in the Makefile to

Dear All, I use a raid card on my Centos 5.4 server. Whenever I updated the kernel, I used to compile drivers of the card for the new kernel. I have done this many times in the past without any problem. But this time after installing the new kernel files given below, I can not compile the new driver anymore. kernel-headers-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5

I've gotten wine to run the installer for ArcView 8.2 . It installs certain required components and then says that i must reboot the computer to continue the installation. At this point i click the reboot m$ window and the installer closes. i've tried both rerunning the installer at this point and actually rebooting, but either way, i always end up back at the beginning of the

Kernel 2.6.18-308.8.2.el5 I recently experienced an odd problem with a host at our warm-site location. The facility we use suffered an hvac failure during elevated ambient temperatures (30C+) on Monday past and the equipment room reportedly cooked for some hours. It was sufficient that our equipment shutdown. In all probability this was due to an over-temp condition since the systems are all
