I am not sure how one every knows if something is "really" secure without reading the source code ... and, even then, who knows!

Back when I started the thread the only way that I knew it was...

That's what I would have thought! But if you look at the end there, that file doesn't seem to exist:


$ ls -a /home/.vm/ubuntu-kvm/

Hello - am a new user of kvm (previously of vmware) and am running Ubuntu Server 10.04. I built a few VMs with the vmbuilder command (succesfully) but I am a little confused as to where, exactly,...

Did you ever figure out what was wrong here ? I am having the same issue -- have tried a number of different setups ... not sure what the error means, exactly. Right now, am trying just to plow...

I can say I had the same experience -- after Google announced native support in Chrome for Flash, it began working (as expected). Recently, however, even with a fresh install of Ubuntu and Chrome, I...

Hello - is there a way I can tell my Ubuntu server install (Hardy) to "power save" the monitor rather than just display a blank screen?

I share a monitor with a production machine (non-server)...

I am running the Netbook Remix and the mouse is, to put it nicely, terrible. It jumps between lifting of the fingers -- is really difficult to use.

Did you "reinstall" the regular distribution...

Both great suggestions ! Thank you - the vmrun is the command line tool I was looking for ... and the web interface stuff is perfect. I didn't poke around hard enough to find it under the "root" of...

Hi - is there a way I can automatically have my Guest OSes start when I restart my host server (running VMWare Server 2)?

Or do I always have to log in via the web interface and do it manually ?...

Hi -

I am using LVM2 and have two different volume groups with a number of logical volumes.

For one volume group, all of my UUIDs for the logical volumes seem to be mapped correctly (and I...

Hi -

I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this problem and wondered if someone could help.

After I reboot my system, I have to "restart" /etc/init.d/mdadm in order for the monitoring to work as...

Yea - I had thought about that. The backups are created using rsync (with --link-dest for hard links) ... so, am familiar with it. I can give that a go -- thanks for the advice.

Hi - am looking for some guidance ... recently setup a new file server and I was getting ready to transfer the files from the old server to the new one ... but then I go to thinking:

Should I just...

Yea - I see what you mean. I already have partitions I made that I wish were LVM because they are really unused and I would love to swallow them up and gain the space.

Do you recommend having...

Hi - I have been all about google and the forums and having a hard time finding a straight-forward guide to setting up my Ubuntu file server server with NFS and Kerberos.

Does such a guide exist ?...

Thanks for these tips; good idea about the swap ... one less thing to do. I hadn't thought about setting /boot off of the RAID5 ... didn't realize I had to, I guess ... maybe, instead, I can do...

Hi - sorry if this question is naive, but I don't think I understand how this all works fully yet ...

I am going to install 3 drives in a RAID 5 array. I chose RAID 5 so I could add drives (of...

Hi -

Is there a way to mount the same volume two places: one read-only and one read-write?

I want to mount my backup folder somewhere read-write (so root can backup all user's folders to it);...

No! I hadn't!

Honestly, I think getting used to the command line can be a curse ... I don't nearly "click my way around" like I used to.

Sigh. Now I feel silly. Anyway - that was really...

Hi - I am sure there is an easy answer and I just can't find it ... I want to customize my main applications menu ... what I want to do is move a program/icon launcher from the "Other"...

Yea - that does help. Thanks again for the details. You've been very helpful.

Thanks again - so, do I need to do the partitioning of the physical disk before I do the raid ? I got a little confused about that ... so, the first time through it would be:

DISK[1,2] -->...

Hi Rob -

Wow! Thanks for those detailed instructions -- not only does that answer my question but shows me *exactly* how to do it. Smile. I really appreciate it.

I took a look at the man...

Hi -

I run an old ubuntu server box as an NAS in the basement (500mhz pre-2000 system). It currently has two 320GB hard drives using [3ware] hardward RAID-1. I have one partition for /home and...

Hey - thanks for posting your success (or near success!) -- I will definitely have to try that script out when I have a chance and will post back with results. Thanks again.
