Setting up a GUI remote access
by Todd Cary 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Currently I have VNC running on my Windows desktop with Samba providing access to my Linux server. Since Linux is more reliable than Windows, I would like to be able to access my Linux (Centos 5.5) via my Windows notebook - hopefully via VNC or some similar application and then access the Windows desktop (if it is not locked up :-) ) with Samba. What is the best VNC like application to install or use on the Linux server? Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.aristesoftware.com

After reading through the libvirt site, I started writing the domain definition manually. Through trial and error, comparison with what virt-install generated and the online examples, I got a working xml. Just for the record, virsh --version reports 0.8.1 For the benefits of other newbies, my discovery so far is that 1. No-activity after the guest VM started Originally, when I specified the CentOS DVD ISO, the guest will load and then do nothing but chew up 100% CPU cycle on the allocated 1 vcpu for quite some time. Subsequently, it appeared that mounting the ISO as loop back is the solution. This seemed to imply that libvirt or KVM couldn't boot a guest from ISO... which didn't quite make sense. I ran into the issue when using my manually generated XML, it turned out that the reason was the permissions (644) on vmlinuz and initrd.img on the DVD. By copying the two files to local disk, changing the permissions and using the <initrd> and <kernel> options, I was able to boot the guest. I was curious how virt-install got around this and learnt that I could dump the config from a running machine. It turns out that virt-install didn't exactly use the .xml it created, it added stuff to the running version. Importantly making a temporary copy of initrd.img and vmlinuz. I think the ISO problem with virt-install may be that it was unable to mount the ISO to copy these files despite me running it as root. 2. Anaconda couldn't see the DVD Which was my rant earlier, since it sounded really stupid that the installer couldn't see the disc it just booted off. Now, with #1 solved, it seems that anaconda wasn't booting off the disc after all. However, the interesting thing here is that once I got past #1, My guest could install from the DVD. After comparing the xml files, it seems the problem is virt-install did not save the path to the ISO/mounted DVD. Under the <disk> element, there wasn't a source. With my manually generated xml, specifying the ISO as the source worked. But the virt-installed anaconda was complaining I don't have any hard disks or cdroms. Not that there was no disk in the drive. Everytime I picked an option like install media in HDD or CDROM, it prompted me no device, do I want to install a driver. Since the hard disk definition appears to be the same, I'm not sure why that happened with virt-install's xml but not mine. So right now, I managed to get the OS installed, rebooting it required removing the initrd and kernel entry as well as the source so that it would boot from the image disk. Only problem is... networking still isn't working although brctl show on the host shows that a vnet0 had been created and attached to the bridge. Any pointers would be appreciated!

libvirt security update CVE-2011-1146
by Riccardo Veraldi 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hello, I have seen that package libvirt-0.8.2-15.el5_6.3 on CentOS 5.6 which addresses CVE-2011-1146 <https://www.redhat.com/security/data/cve/CVE-2011-1146.html> vulnerability is not yet available while for example it is on Scientific Linux. Is there any particular reason why the above rpm update is still not available on mirrors ? thank you Rick

Rsync 3 from rpmforge
by Jussi Hirvi 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

My brain must be on knots somehow. I try to install rsync 3.x, which I know is in rpmforge repo for my architecture: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=22214 http://packages.sw.be/rsync/ But yum does not find it, however I try. I have installed yum-priorities. Rpmforge is low priority. But still... yum erase rsync # erase v2.6 from base repo yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=rpmforge install rsyn\* Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * rpmforge: ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de Setting up Install Process No package rsyn* available. Nothing to do I managed to do this a couple of days ago, but now I cannot. - Jussi

ETA
by Dimitri Maziuk 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

Dear developers, I don't care for reasons, arguments, or flamefests. I need to plan my workload. By now I have half a dozen servers overdue for reimaging. I can put this off for another week or two, but not really much longer. There's obviously no point in installing centos 5 on any new machine. So I need to know: is there any point in my waiting another week, or should I just say 'screw it' and start scheduling SL roll-outs. Thank you in advance Dima

How to switching terminal/console to /dev/pts/X while in SSH?
by Emmanuel Noobadmin 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

Is there a way to switch the display/console while connected while SSH to another display e.g /dev/pts/X ? The purpose is because qemu-kvm diverts the char device output to /dev/pts/X so there's no further way to view/interact with the VM.
