    Automated Intall under KVM?

    Thanks! We are already using a template. The thing is we would like to launch these things at different IP's. Ie launch one clone at one IP, and then another clone at a different IP. Right now we have to launch one then boot it, then ssh into it, change it's configuration files inside it, and...

    Automated Intall under KVM?

    Hi, I am working with Proxmox 3.2 and things are working nicely. (We have to use kvm VM's instead of OpenVZ containers since we have some requirements using Java on our VM's and we had issues with OpenVZ... Googling around I suspect they might be solvable in the end... But for now things are...

    [SOLVED] Newbie question: storage, partitions, and backups

    Ohhh wow. That is so simple in the end! Thank you so much!! Was that written some where in some document somewhere? It would be nice to read the section but that answered my question!

    [SOLVED] Newbie question: storage, partitions, and backups

    Ok, I am progressing with proxmox and I really like some of the parts of it. I have googled and searched for a simple introduction to how to partition a local disk for proxmox. (I could be doing this all wrong.) Basically I would like to be able to take snapshots and backups of my openvz...

    Couple of starting out questions

    Ahhh! That did it! My tigerVNC session now looks like a normal VNC session! (I suspect this will work for the java driven console as well then? (I have already re-removed java after it wasn't working for me the first time...) Ok my next question is then which is the best set of instructions for...

    Couple of starting out questions

    Ahh... Thanks for the info. So another likely noob question. I tried the installing a new KVM VM of ubuntu server (To which i as going to add xfce), but the console (through java or now through tiger VNC is not connecting / displaying anything. Thus how do I step through the server install...

    Couple of starting out questions

    Ahhh! That worked. Thanks! However, the screen is still kind of messed up, just as the console graphic above showed. Is this a standardly known thing which is misconfigured? Or I am just lucky enough to be the only one seeing this? :) Strangely a normal mac VNC client looked fine (I used...

    Couple of starting out questions

    Actually taking a look through the BIOS settings again I found the difference in the machine. It turns out to run on the Dell OptiPlex 755 with latest BIOS, one needs to set the trusted execution to "OFF"... This seems fairly counter-intuitive to me, but with this setting I can now create KVM...

    Couple of starting out questions

    You mean install gtk2 or gkt3 on OSX? Noooo... I did not do that. I just looked at the page and they listed a bundle. I opened that and the application said it needed X11. The next time I ran it, it didn't say anything else. Installing X11 on OSX is getting a pretty strange in terms of normal...

    Couple of starting out questions

    Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be working for me: So I only see gibberish here... (Note I had to install X11 which apple no longer bundles.) Thanks for the suggestion though!

    Couple of starting out questions

    Ahhh... I don't actually have Java on my normal OSX machine available from the browser. I don't have it installed because of all the perceived security problems... Maybe this is a mistake and java is totally safe but I have seen enough of warnings like this to give me pause... So I logged into...

    Couple of starting out questions

    Well I swapped sata drives like you suggested. This time the drive is now in a dell optiplex 755 (this one with a 3 GHz processor). Once the old drive booted on the new hardware I moved /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules-old . With this I...

    Ahh... Ok. Got it. Thanks! Yes. A normal 160G sata drive. Ok this will take a bit... Trying now... Thanks for the help!

    Couple of starting out questions

    Hi Udo, Raymond, Actually I just checked again and wrote down the relevent settings from my BIOS: The machine is a dell OptiPlex 755 with a E6550 @2.33GHz and 4G of ram running the latest BIOS A22 which I flashed onto it in the last couple of weeks. (I am using this machine to experiment...

    Couple of starting out questions

    Hey Raymond! Ok. I assumed of course others knew about it. Strike me down as another person bitten by this gotcha... And I will move on :) Actually I just checked and my OpenVZ containers have: root@fritzbox:~# vzctl enter 101 entered into CT 101 root@zurmo /# more /etc/localtime TZif2 UTC0...
