similar to: how to enable auto-start on newer versions of Xen ?

I am pleased to announce the official release of Virt SIG Xen packages for CentOS 7. To install: * Install centos-release-xen from centos-extras yum install centos-release-xen * Update to get the new kernel: yum update * Install the Xen packages from the centos-virt-xen repo: yum install xen There are also packages for libvirt 1.3.0 (which should be compatible with openstack) and

PJ, I didn't have virsh installed (libvirt-client).? After having installed it, it still didn't see the process: virsh autostart testvm error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: no valid connection error: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory Then, after having installed libvirt, it gives essentially the same error.

So first of all, if you've used the CBS before, please note the name change -- it's no longer virt6-testing, but virt6-xen-44-testing. Easiest way to install: rpm -ivh http://cbs.centos.org/repos/virt6-xen-44-testing/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-release-xen-7-7.el6.x86_64.rpm This will set up yum repositories for both the eventual release repositories (enabled by default), and the

Greetings: I'm planning to set up a test Centos 6.0 box (has CDROM, but no DVD) with these partions: / 10GB ( no separate mount for /usr ) /tmp 1GB /var 10GB /boot 500MB The centos mirrors I have seen do not provide the full distro on CD (this box has no DVD). I'm used to having about 6 CD isos to work with. The livecd install to hard

?My .02 is to stay the course. ?As a server admin, I want to be able to type things like: yum upgrade php ????not yum upgrade php55-epel-rpmforge-fancy-package Having to remember all the idiosyncrasies of a system is what causes some type of major failure in the future whenever (1) you forget something or (2) someone else has to pick up the box to adminster. -- ?Craig Thompson,

First post to this list. I would appreciate some help on this issue. As background, I installed CentOS 7 on a Dell server, and then ran the following commands: yum update http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/virt/x86_64/xen/centos-release-xen-7-11.el7.x86_64.rpm yum --enablerepo=centos-virt-xen-testing update yum --enablerepo=centos-virt-xen-testing install xen Doing that, I was able to

Yes I usually work headless, but I have been setting it up from new, so need to see what is going on. Regards Francis From: "Scot P.

Hi all, I have some problems with libvirt >2.1.0 (so 2.2.0 and 2.3.0): I have a working environment using libvirt 2.1.0 with 1 domain (called "mail") and one network (called "default6"), both are autostarted. I have no problems with this environment using libvirt 2.1.0, everything works great. But after (testwise) updating to libvirt 2.2.0 or 2.3.0, libvirt doesn't

Not sure if this is the right place to report this, but: Am using ggmap to generate a map of a bounding box from 161 latitude/longitude pairs and the code crashes R (in ess). Data is at http://analysis.d8u.us/~hdiwan/plotSource.csv and the code to read it is below. I'm not sure if ess, emacs, ggmap, R, or my laptop is to blame. Here's the code: > rmc <-

Folks I'm about to set up a non-root user on a Centos=7 server that I control for a friend. It is in his home, so access is local. He's a refugee from the latest Windows 10 Upgrade. I'd like a suggestion as to which of the several possible graphical desktops to suggest to him and set up for him as his default. My aim is: - Allow him to try out Linux as an end-user - Let him

Dear All I am using Centos 7 with Xen 4.6 on a Dell Poweredge T430 When the machine boots, after the 'Scrubbing Free RAM' message, I get a screen filled with little white squares until the login prompt, so I cannot see what is happening as the machine boots. Also there is nothing on the screen when I reboot. My /etc/default/grub is GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release

My vote is still for KDE It's got a similar feel to Windows before it went pear shaped at Win8. It's fairly easy to use. He should be able to do most stuff as a user.

All, I've had a heck of a time getting Fedora 16 to run as a guest VM under CentOS 5.7 host as a paravirtualized Xen guest. I believe the issue has something to do with Fedora 16 using grub2... When I attempt to start the VM (via xm create), I get this error: Using config file "/etc/xen/fedora-workstation". Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pygrub",

Yes, that's because the CBS is is not meant to be for production use, but only for building and testing. This is for two reasons: 1. The CBS itself is not mirrored, nor provisioned for

I learned from Anne that if I boot to level 5, after I enter the username, can select Gnome or KDE. I note that the default is always Gnome. How can I make the default KDE? How can I get KDE with startx after booting to level 3? Thanks, Mike.

Hi, when I try to install Centos 5.8 on a Dell r410 then I don't get a "Virtualization" option during the package selection of the installer. Centos 5.7 does show that option fine. Is this a known issue? Regards, Dennis
