Conjointly, virtualization is becoming a driving technology for a manifold of industry grade IT services. The cloud concept includes the notion of a separation between resource owners and users, adding services such as hosted application frameworks and queueing. Utilizing the same infrastructure, clouds carry significant potential for use in high-performance scientific computing. The ability of clouds to provide for requests and releases of vast computing resources dynamically and close to the marginal cost of providing the services is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing. Distributed computing concepts that leverage federated resource access are popular within the grid community, but have not seen previously desired deployed levels so far. Also, many of the scientific data centers have not adopted virtualization or cloud concepts yet. This workshop aims to bring together industrial providers with the scientific community in order to foster discussion, collaboration and mutual exchange of knowledge and experience. The workshop will be one day in length, composed of 20 min paper presentations, each followed by 10 min discussion sections. Presentations may be accompanied by interactive demonstrations.

If you've got an F17/rawhide machine (or even an F17 VM) and some spare time, use em to run through your regular virt workflow and file bugs for any issues you hit.

I'm trying to see if it can import my W-2 form, so I type in my employer's ID number and click the search button, and "Poof!" the spice client window disappears instantly. The virtual machine is still running OK, and I can restart the spice client and TAB to the button and hit Enter. That works fine. I don't know what it is about clicking that one button in that one screen in that one program, but it sure upsets the spice client. I clicked zillions of other buttons while filling out my taxes with no issues at all, but that one is too much for it. _______________________________________________ virt mailing list virt&lt; at &gt;lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt</pre> Tom Horsley 2012-04-10T01:16:22 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.virtualization/1702 <pre>See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805942 which describes the problem (all dnsmasq/qemu-kvm/etc processes started by libvirtd are killed by libvirtd restart) and https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-March/msg00946.html which has an earlier fix to part of the problem, and the discussion that led to the above bug being filed. _______________________________________________ virt mailing list virt&lt; at &gt;lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt</pre> Laine Stump 2012-04-09T11:22:29 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.virtualization/1690 <pre>Getting permission denied.

Berrange 2012-03-30T14:56:13 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.virtualization/1687 <pre>Hi, I'm running Fedora 16 and would like to install a KVM VM. On my preious Ubuntu system I used to install such a VM with: $ sudo virt-install [...] --vnc [...] (I'm a sudo fan, not guru) On my F16, running the same command gives me: Starting install... ERROR Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. This, IMHO, is due to the --vnc option trying to open a X11 window. But, if I "sudo -s" then run the same command, the installation goes on, with the X11 VNC window appearing. My system is a F16 XFCE spin, where I disabled SELinux. Would you know how to launch "sudo virt-install [..] --vnc [...]" as a bare user (without escalading with "sudo -s")? On the other hand, "sudo virsh [...] list --all" (which doesn't need VNC X11) works very well. Thank you. </pre> Mihamina Rakotomandimby 2012-03-30T10:42:17 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.virtualization/1680 <pre>This keeps the Fedora and RHEL defaults as-is, but makes the spec code clearer. I would like to get some review before committing this to the fedpkg repository.

The guest sees the network card and I can ping it from the guest itself but it has no access to the external network through the bridge. Other virtual machines, both Fedora and Win7, created in the F16 box do work. I tried deleting the network card in the guest and creating a new one but the same thing happens. Any ideas?

If I use VNC as the model, the keyboard works, but the display has a slow refresh rate. Any ideas on what it may be wrong? Running fedora 16, will updates installed.

We announce the main tool of a vestibule Web for the management of self-sustaining resources by means of Drupal, in addition in the publication there will be an article dedicated to free software, hardware, It is being prepared in inglès, the machinery You can see more details in the index of the publication https://n-1.cc/pg/file/read/1151902/indexresumen-de-los-contenidos-pdf . A computer system that allows us to share resources in all the scopes of our life so that we do not have to generate means different for each subject nor for each territory. A point of contact digitalis to generate projects of life outside Capitalism and to margin of the State. A tool to spread and to impel the social transformation through the resources that will set out in their contents around self-management, the autoorganización, the disobedience and the collective action. In which the capitalist system goes to the collapse, in a while immersed in a deep systemic crisis (ecological, political and economic, but mainly of values), where individual and collective of people they are being lacking of his fundamental rights, is necessary to develop a horizontal collective process where all the human beings we pruned to interact in equality of conditions and freedom. To interact means to relate to us (as much human as economically), to communicate to us, to cover our basic needs, to generate and to protect communal properties, to know and to provide collective solutions us problematic that our lives interfere. We want abrir a breach within normality in the monotonous life state-capitalist, a day anyone, that finally will not be any day. By means of this publication we try: - To drive a horizontal collective process where all and all we pruned to interact in equality of conditions and freedom. - To create communications network between the people it jeopardize with the change and arranged to act. - To find collective solutions to problematic that our lives interfere - To facilitate the access to resources that make possible self-management. - To participate in the construction of networks of mutual support, generated horizontals, asamblearias and from the base. - To publish all this information in an attractive format stops to facilitate the access to all the society. There are 15 days remaining for the upcoming March 15, the day that will come Rebelaos!, Magazine for the selfmanagement Today, we issue the cover of Rebelaos!

Puedes ver más detalles en el índice de la publicación https://n-1.cc/pg/file/read/1151902/indexresumen-de-los-contenidos-pdf Un sistema infórmatico que nos permita compartir recursos en todos los ámbitos de nuestra vida de forma que no tengamos que generar un medio distinto para cada tema ni para cada territorio. Un punto de encuentro digital para generar proyectos de vida fuera del capitalismo y al margen del Estado. Una herramienta para difundir e impulsar la transformación social a través de los recursos que se propondrán en sus contenidos en torno a la autogestión, la autoorganización, la desobediencia y la acción colectiva. En un momento en que el sistema capitalista se dirige al colapso, inmerso en una profunda crisis sistémica (ecológica, política y económica, pero principalmente de valores), donde individuos y colectivos de personas están siendo desprovistos de sus derechos fundamentales, es necesario desarrollar un proceso colectivo horizontal donde todos los seres humanos podamos interactuar en igualdad de condiciones y en libertad. Interactuar significa relacionarnos (tanto humana como económicamente), comunicarnos, cubrir nuestras necesidades básicas, generar y proteger bienes comunes, conocernos y dar soluciones colectivas a problemáticas que interfieren nuestras vidas. Queremos abrir una brecha dentro de la normalidad en la monótona vida estatal-capitalista, un día cualquiera, que finalmente no será cualquier día. Mediante esta publicación pretendemos: - Impulsar un proceso colectivo horizontal donde todos y todas podamos interactuar en igualdad de condiciones y en libertad. - Crear red de comunicaciones entre las personas comprometidas con el cambio y dispuestas a actuar. - Encontrar soluciones colectivas a problemáticas que interfieren nuestras vidas. - Facilitar el acceso a recursos que posibiliten la autogestión. - Participar en la construcción de redes de apoyo mutuo, horizontales, asamblearias y generadas desde la base. - Publicar toda esta información en un formato atractivo para facilitar el acceso a toda la sociedad.

As I see it there are two obvious options - Retire gPXE completely and add iPXE for use by everybody - Keep gPXE and add iPXE to be used by QEMU/KVM only I was wondering if people had any thoughts on the matter ? If we're quick there's still time todo this for Fedora 17, since we have not had any major Virt related test days yet - the OpenStack test day is March 8th (1+1/2 weeks away). Regards, Daniel [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPXE "gPXE development ceased in summer 2010, and several projects are migrating or considering migrating to iPXE as a result." </pre> Daniel P.
