Is there any need for CentOS to build and distribute the OSE version of VirtualBox? The differences between the versions are here: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions The reason I ask is that the Full version is free for personal use and the restrictions (especially no USB or RDP) make the OSE version fairly crippled, so I am not sure there is enough benefit to design and keep updated

I am trying to connect to the virtualbox hypervisor through libvirt java binding. I am on Ubuntu 10.04 and I have installed libvirt-0.85, libvirt-java-0.4.6 and virtualbox-ose-dkms. I have configured libvirt project and its java binding at Eclipse and the default test of the binding runs properly. When I try to run a simple test in java with the connection: conn = new

Hi everyone, There's been discussions in the past about updating MATE RPMs in EPEL-7: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1436260 https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2019-August/173154.html (and lots of others...) As a proof-of-concept, I've written some scripts that clone specific commits from the Fedora master branches, and then runs a tool to re-apply RPM scriptlets

Just noticed on a freshly updated CentOS 5.1 system: # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5 (Final) # rpm -qi centos-release Name : centos-release Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 5 Vendor: CentOS Release : 1.0.el5.centos.1 Build Date: Thu 22 Nov 2007 06:32:15 PM MST Install Date: Mon 03 Dec 2007 08:10:09 AM

Is anyone running the Opera browser on Centos 7 or 6? While not available in a yum-repository, it seems to be available as a snap-package. Not familiar with those yet but curious if the browser is worthwhile to run. I have generally found Firefox less useful/compatible than Chromium but would also like alternatives, particularly since Opera defaults to a VPN-connection.

I'm trying to connect to vbox hypervisor on an Ubuntu 10.04 machine through libvirt java binding (libvirt-java-0.4.6) by simply invoking: Connect conn = new Connect("vbox:///session", false); but I got this exception: libvir: warning : Failed to find the interface: Is the daemon running ? libvir: Remote error : unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock':

Hi unfortunately VirtualBox does not work yet in a Solaris Dom0: I installed VirtualBox beta and it runs fine on bare metal. Unfortunately the necessary driver does not load automatically in a xVM Dom0. It can be loaded manually but it looks like it does not work in a Dom0: bash-3.2# modinfo | grep vbox # this is a one time task: bash-3.2# cp /platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/amd64/vboxdrv

I am trying to install the Cluster RPMS from rpm.karan.org. But since I have updated my kernel with yum, I have the wrong kernel for a couple of the packages. # rpm -i --test cman-kernel-smp-2.6.9-36.0.i686.rpm error: Failed dependencies: /lib/modules/2.6.9-11.ELsmp is needed by cman-kernel-smp-2.6.9-36.0.i686 kernel-smp = 2.6.9-11.EL is needed by cman-kernel-smp-2.6.9-36.0.i686

I have been asked to update OpenLDAP to the latest stable version. I am using CentOS 4.2 and have OpenLDAP 2.2.13 installed. I can install from source if I have to, but I would rather stay with rpm packages if possible. I found an rpm from Fedora Core Development on RPMFIND. Will this one work with Centos, or should I grab the source rpm and rebuild it? Bowie

Howdy folks, I'm having a weird issue here. I have winbind running on several other servers on our domain, and they are working fine. From what I can tell the configuration is identical, as I custom rolled my own RPM that set's all the config parameters. What's happening is when I try to ssh to this one specific server, it seems looking at the logs it's trying to continuously

Hi, I am studying for the RHCSA Exam and wanted to install CentOS 6.4 alongside Windows 8. I got a new laptop with a processor that supports virtualization. I am planning to remove all the recovery partitions after backing up all drivers etc. on them. Lets see how it works out. Any caveats I should know about? Regards adj

I have a new OSX Lion Macbook and would like to control VirtualBox using "virsh" (as I do with KVM under Ubuntu). I've got this far: * Installed VirtualBox * Installed libvirt (brew install libvirt) But now I'm a bit stuck :-) I ran VirtualBox itself, and created a test VM successfully. If I try to use virsh, this is what I get: Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ virsh -c

I have an older quad-core AMD processor that supports hardware virtualization on a motherboard that does not support it in the bios. Eventually I'll swap the mobo out on this box for one that will support hardware virtualization and use qemu-kvm. I prefer kvm because of SELinux and sVirt that protects the host from VM breakout should a VM become hostile. In the meantime, I want to start work
