The virtual flavor only contains the drivers necessary to run as a guest in the supported hypervisors, and it is, therefore, smaller.

Does your hardware support KVM? If it does not KVM will not work. you can run the following command to see:

kvm-ok

The Ubuntu version of Eucalyptus uses KVM as the hypervisor. It is possible to setup Eucalyptus to use Xen, but you would have to do it manually.

Can you post the vmbuilder command? Also could you add the --debug switch to the vmbuilder command and post the output?

That is as designed. By default the images should be as small as possible.

if you pass the --addpkg ubuntu-server^ and leave out the --components it should give you a full ubuntu server install....

It should be enough to be in the libvirtd group. Can you try adding yourself to the group, logging back in and see if that fixes it?

In intrepid, we have added support for easy encrypted private directories. It won't be default, but it will be very simple to configure and use.

Hi,

Nick Barcet and I will doing a presentation about Ubuntu Server Edition at OSCON next week.

It is left off because of more than bloat. Remember, Ubuntu server is designed for production environments. It is best in most cases not to be able to build binaries on your production servers. It...

In Hardy Heron, the following command should be all you need.

$ sudo adduser `id -un` libvirtd

First of all, netstat -r tells you nothing about open ports.

Try netstat -ltu That will give you all open tcp and udp ports. If it shows them listening on localhost, they are not external...

Look at the openvpn package. It is pretty easy to use. You should change mysql to listen on a socket or localhost.

BTW, Ubuntu Server Edition, ships with no open ports by default, includes...

I'm sorry, but this is absurd. While OpenBSD is known for having few remote root exploits as shipped. As soon as you run any package like apache or mysql and open it to the internet, there is...

your user needs to be in the libvirtd and kvm groups for this to work.

The #ubuntu-virt channel on FreeNode is a good place to get help. The developers hang out there.

if you install Ubuntu using the alternate CD, you can select encrypt+lvm during install, and that might keep them out. If they are a bit more skilled you will need to put your private key on a usb...

if you are upgrading from a recent release, this should work:



sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

when logged in as the user, do the following command to list the groups you belong to:

id

you should add your user to the kvm group, not change the permissions of /dev/kvm.

If you are using Hardy and are a member of kvm group, the module is loaded automatically.

As of Hardy Heron, KVM is officially supported in Ubuntu. I suggest you check it out. We will be testing KVM with every kernel update and fixing bugs throughout the support life of Hardy.

BTW,...

It is worth noting that kvm will be the officially supported virtualization technology in 8.04.

When used with libvirt and virt-manager it should be very user-friendly.

Ubuntu Server...

-m 512 tells kvm to use 512MiB of memory for the VM. It is dedicated to the VM. This is exactly how it is supposed to work.

All of the memory in your VM is considered used and will not be free...

Oops, I didn't notice your last post. I was going to ask what changes you made, but I'm sure soren will let me know.

Neal,
Are you going to merge your changes back into Soren's main branch?

BTW, we plan to have a cli based on libvirt in Hardy, but you know that, since you were at UDS. :)

Hey Everyone!

I am new to Ubuntu, but an old hand at Linux. I first used Linux in 1993. I switched completely in 1995, and haven't looked back.

I am an employee of Canonical, Ltd. the company...

How about if we had an image of the US mainland as a background, instead of the us?
