Hi All, I am running Virtual box on a CentOS 5.5 x64 bit host. The guest is 23 bit Windows Server 2008 SP2 (not R2). Virtual Box bug 7606 is causing a customer of mine serious financial harm. http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/7607#comment:3 I have tried in vain month or month over month to get Oracle to sell me a tech support contract, so that we can get some priority on this issue.

Hi All, What are guest cores in KVM? Are they fake, like everything else in the guest? Just another process running on the host emulating a core? Or are the guest cores actually connected directly to the physical cores on my motherboard? Many thanks, -T

I hope this is not to far off topic. I have a Windows 2003 guest on a CentOS 5.5 KVM host. I need to use the serial port on the win2003 guest for the application it is serving. I have no idea what needs to be done but it looks like the linux host is trying to use the serial port as the priamary console but I don't really understand what that is or where it is configured. What I need is for

Hi All, If you would please suffer a Fedora Code 13 question on a CentOS mailing list, I have a Linux customer with Fedora Code 13 who loves it but is about to dump it because he really, really wants iTunes. (He owns an iPod and an iPhone.) None of the Linux utilities quite work right and he wants to buy music from the iTunes store as well. Plus he wants to synchronize his contacts list. So, I

Hi All, How does KVM handle multiple cores. I have an x5650 with 6 real cores that presents itself to my OS as 12 virtual cores (hyperthreading). Does KVM see 6 or 12 cores. And, can I tell KVM how many cores I want it to use? Am I misunderstanding how KVM works? What I am after is if my guest is 100% busy, I still want some power left over for my host. Many thanks, -T

Hi All, I have been Googling my rear off. Where is the manual for KVM? It seems like the information is just all thrown about. Anyone know of a manual? A pdf? A home page with instructions? I am teachable (mostly). Many thanks, -T

Hi All, Can someone point me to a good reference on how to configure "tdbsam" ? Many thanks, -T

Hi All, Okay. Now I am confused. I have a bunch of virtual machines running under Virtual Box 3.2.12. I want to run them under KVM and drop Virtual Box from these systems. Supposedly "qemu-img convert" now supports direct conversion from vdi to whatever KVM uses. So I fired up the man page and got really confused. Then I fired up Google and got worse confused. Might I impose on

Hi All, Now that I have winbind running and wins support = yes in my smb.conf, am I missing something? Like setting up WINS, configuring it, populating it, etc.? Can someone point me to documentation on what to do (administrate) WINS? Many thanks, -T

Hi, I am attempting to plot survival curves estimated by cox proportional hazards regression model. The formula for the model is this: F.cox.weight <- coxph(Surv(Lifespan, Status) ~ MS + Weight + Laid + MS:Laid + Weight:Laid, data = LongF) MS = Mating status (mated/virgin) Weight = adult female weight, continuous covariate Laid = number of eggs laid by each female, continuous covariate I

Hi, I have a server running CentOS 5.5 with KVM capabilities. I need to migrate all the VMs to another server with the exact same hardware specs. The problem is it is running on individual harddisks, not shared storage. What is the best way to migrate to minimise downtime? Thanks!

Hi All, I am confused. In one of the examples of a PDC, the following smb.conf parameter is given: add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m -G users '%u' If you have "passdb backend = tdbsam" and the way to add users to "tdbsam" is "pdbedit -a -u username", what is the purpose of the "add user script"? I am thinking it is to add the user

Hi to all, I am trying to install CentOS 5.5 as VM on a KVM server running Ubuntu 10.04. The Problem: the installer does not find the iso image. (Direct copy from website downlod.) I can start CentOS from the iso and can even do some disk checks. But when I go further the installer says "no CDROm found". Pretty weird. I tried all CentOS 5.5. image available (Live CD, net install, bin 1

Rich Hi, After Qwest pronounced my circuits as within spec. (yes, disconnected from the house) I listened on the lines with my butt set. Clear of all noise and hum. I then got my box of Cat3 and laid a circuit around the outside of the house and into my lab. Still clear of all noise and hum. I then connected the circuit to the Adtran and made a call. Lots of hum and buzzz. As I said,

Hi All, What causes this error message in /var/log/messages when an XP-Pro client boots up? nss_wins[27722]: create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users Many thanks, -T CentOS 5.3 $ rpm -qa \*samba\* samba-common-3.0.33-3.7.el5 system-config-samba-1.2.41-3.el5 samba-3.0.33-3.7.el5 samba-client-3.0.33-3.7.el5 $ uname -r 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5

Hi All, I am upgrading my samba server from a workgroup to PDC server. I am doing this to make a Windows 2008 Terminal server happy. Eventually there will be a bank of them (thank you Virtual Box). Anyway, in my test bed, I have a Samba PDC (newly updated to PDC), a Windows 2008 server, and XP-Pro-SP3. Both Windows machines are able to join the domain and log in as users only in the Samba

I collected eggs laid by Springtails everyday over 28 days after swich to isotopically enriched diet. The eggs were pooled at day 7, 14, and 28 (+ day 0 = initial value) and analyzed for isotopes. After the diet switch the isotopic values of the adults and eggs change towards those of the new diet. Here are the d13C values (y) of the eggs: x y 0 -22.2 0 -22.2 0 -22.2 0 -22.0 7

Hi All, Just a bit of PDC confusion on my part. 1) I do not give machine names a password. Am I correct? 2) I am presuming that machine names are used to limit what machine user names can have access to to the samba server. If Foo has an smb username and computer A has a machine name, but computer B does not, then Foo can enter only through computer A. Am I correct? 3) If I am correct on #2
