There have been a few threads in the past month dealing with various virtual environments, including Citrix and Suse Xen, KVM and VMware. I went searching through recent satlug email archives and I don't think anyone's mentioned proxmox. I'm testing this debian-based distro now and it is super easy - especially if you are like me used to installing kvm and configuring the libvirt xml files from the command line on Ubuntu. The proxmox install is a breeze and proxmox website has videos on how to do lots of things. Some of the features are web-based access, live migration, master-node based multi-server coordination, automatic setup of LVM files and backups. The distro offers OpenVZ as the virtualization platform for non-windows os, which has 2-3% degradation when compared to a native install. Windows operating systems are fully virtualized and do run slower. Proxmox made using these feature easy compared to working with virt-manager on Ubuntu or CentOS. I wonder why I hadn't heard of proxmox before? The maintainers are in Austria, so maybe google localized my searches to the US and I never got past the first few pages or I kept using wrong keywords. A couple links follow: Video Tutorials http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Category:Video_Tutorials Main Page http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Main_Page Enjoy! ~Jaret From toddwbucy at grandecom.net Sat Oct 3 15:14:22 2009 From: toddwbucy at grandecom.net (Todd W.

One virtualization type is Open VZ and the other is KVM - which is full virtualization. I've been experimenting with the KVM side and last night on my i7, I installed Ubuntu 9.04 desktop as a Virtual Machine and the install significantly less time than a regular install on hardware. I'm using proxmox 1.4 beta 2, with all the i7 drivers compiled in. Booting the Ubuntu VM took 5 seconds - tops. I'm going to install windows and see what happens now. I'm blown away right now at the speed differences between my two test machines - both i7s and both using KVM full virtualization. One i7 has proxmox and the second i7 I had loaded with Ubuntu 9.04 desktop and sudo apt-get install libvirt kvm and all the needed packaged programs and then configuring everything from the command-line. The desktop is using qcow2 non-LVM disk files as the VM storage system whereas proxmox uses lvm under "raw" format (qcow2 was an option but I decided to try raw to see what that was about). Anyway I'm trying to make sense of the speed differences. I think proxmox was compiled specifically with speed in mind whereas the desktop version is not. Also using LVM is significantly faster than file-based vms. ~Jaret From tweeksjunk2 at theweeks.org Sun Oct 4 01:18:31 2009 From: tweeksjunk2 at theweeks.org (Tweeks) Date: Sun Oct 4 01:18:38 2009 Subject: [SATLUG] OT From SAPD - new way to assault you In-Reply-To: <4AA49479.90504@shlrm.org> References: <394787.1794.qm@web55601.mail.re4.yahoo.com> <4AA49479.90504@shlrm.org> Message-ID: <200910040118.31708.tweeksjunk2@theweeks.org> On Monday 07 September 2009 12:04:57 am David Kowis wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA512 > > Alex Bartonek wrote: > > if I hear something outside at night, the first thing I reach for is my > > .45. it speaks before I do. true story. > > I think should such things happen to me, it'd be the same.

I was actually wondering the same thing (about those USB/video capture thingies).. I'm setting up a home security system using cheap IR illuminated, outdoor video cams from harbor freight for $30 each! http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=95914 Maybe a couple of IR flood lights (the new LED panel type)... Plus a dedicated box with a multi-cam BT capture card for multi-camera motion detection, and ZoneMinder: http://www.zoneminder.com/ Sending alerts and images to my phone. At first I was looking at those USB based devices.. but I think that 4-6 of those things would eat up too much CPU time.. where the PCI cards are proven.. and probably less proc intensive (don't know.. just a guess). Anyway.. flag me of list if you want to compare notes.

Wordpress has a little bit. There's also something called Wordpress MU, which I think is a MultiUser Wordpress. I haven't used it.

This is so much easier then trying to implement KVM on top of Ubuntu Server. Inside of two hours I had a bare-metal install with a virtual samba server with webmin, a Wordpress server, a Mediawiki server, a Joomla server, and a Drupal server. Admin is done from my laptop via firefox and VNC. Minus's so far is that there is no PCI passthrough so virtualizing my mythbox is out of the question till I get a HDHomeRun. Currently I am trying to figure out how to configure my router incoming network traffic is routed to the appropriate virtual server. IMO Proxmox is the F/OSS equivalent of VMware. Thanks Jaret for the recommendation.

I for one like Wordpress the best, the user interface is much more intuitive and streamed lined. Joomla on the other hand seems to have a high learning curve. that said now that I have a proper VM server (ala Proxmox), I have decided to do some side by side comparisons, luckily Proxmox had templates for Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal.

The old adage that applies so well to the world of sys-admins proclaims, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Also, running a blog on your own site ensures that they won't knock it down for "offensive content." Finally, there are options one can use to mitigate security issues. One is mod_security for apache: http://www.modsecurity.org/ I would much rather host my own data rather than offload it to someone else. But maybe I'm just a psychotic privacy nut.

Herb, I assume you have two computers in front of you and both are connected to a router, so that at the very least you can "ping" each of the computers. Did you get that far? Each computer then has its own unique ip address. You need to get this far in order to continue.... Assuming yes, then on Computer One, you loaded Proxmox. On Computer Two, you have Ubuntu-8.04-desktop. When you were installing ProxMox, the installer asked you for the root password. Do you remember what that is? This is the password you need to login in order to use the ProxMox web-interface. Like Todd suggested, use Firefox from Ubuntu. In the Firefox url bar, type the ip address of the ProxMox Computer (One). For me, Firefox connected successfully but showed me a "Security Exception" web page. Read this web page carefully and choose to Add the security certificate from ProxMox to Firefox. There are few buttons to push and I don't know the exact order - but you should be able to follow the directions to add the security certificate (or I think as Firefox calls it adding a Security Exception). The reason why Firefox complains on first connection to ProxMox is because the security certificate is not verified by a Third Party (like Verisign or GoDaddy) but since you are not making this computer available to the public, you don't need Third Party verification. Simply add the security exception in Firefox and you'll then be taken to the Proxmox login screen. User is "root" and then type in your password. >> >> 1. Do I apt get one of Linux browsers?

It depends on the type of configuration you want and the setup of your internal network. Then if you want the outside to use your internal webserver running in a Virtual Machine which runs on top of ProxMox, you use your router to point external requests to internal services, such as the Virtual Machine's web site (using ip address and ports). >> >> I can launch my browser in Ubuntu-8.04 by opening a terminal and >> typing 'firefox' but entering firefox in the Proxmox CLI says no such >> command. being logged in as root I am nervous standing there giving >> commands. >> You don't access the ProxMox from the ProxMox CLI... you access it from Firefox on your Ubuntu desktop.

Though if I remember right, I think you are making it too hard. Everything is done through the proxmox web admin. Let me check the proxmox site quickly. Try these.... First follow the tutorial to download a template: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Download_templates_(Video) Second follow the tutorial to create a vm for a template. The email gateway tutorial is based on a template. http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_Mail_Gateway_on_Proxmox_VE_(Video) ~Jaret From hotreks at gmail.com Thu Oct 8 11:44:09 2009 From: hotreks at gmail.com (Sure IT Inc) Date: Thu Oct 8 11:44:14 2009 Subject: [SATLUG] Suse Administrator Message-ID: Hey, I'm looking for a senior Suse Admin for a contract spot at Boca Raton FL.

Vaughan-Nichols When it comes to business computer systems, nothing is more mission-critical than the massive trading software systems that underlie stock markets. A failure of an hour here can mean billions of dollars of lost trades. The LSE (London Stock Exchange) learned that the hard way when their .NET/Windows Server 2003 trading platform diedlike a dog early last September. The new LSE management is not going make that mistake again. This October, the LSE purchased MillenniumITand will be switching its stock exchange programs to the company's Linux-based Millennium Exchange software. I saw this move coming. While the LSE never officially announced that its Windows and .NET stock trade software TradElect was the root of its September failure and perpetually slow performance, it was an open secret in the City -- London's equivalent to America's Wall Street -- that that was the case. Indeed, it was this technology flop that lead to the LSE CEO Clara Furse leaving the Exchangein July. The new CEO, Xavier Rolet, immediately decided to get rid of TradElect and started shopping for other platforms. Friends of mine in the City tell me that the LSE immediately started considering a Linux-based solution. It doesn't take a genius to see why. The world's fastest stock exchanges, like New York's International Security Exchange, run on Linux. In a world of high-frequency tradingwhere a millisecond really can mean the difference between profit and loss, stock exchanges can't afford to be slow, never mind actually going off-line. The platform itself is built primarily on Linux, but Solaris and Cisco networking also play important roles. The back-end database engine is based on Oracle. The LSE expects to see transaction speeds drop from a claimed best speed of 2.7 milliseconds -- which was rarely, if ever, seen under TradElect -- to the Linux solution's claimed 0.4 millisecond speed. It wasn't just raw speed though that brought the LSE to Linux. Linux is cheaper, a lot cheaper, for high-end servers. According to an IBSJ report, David Lester, director of information and technology at LSE, said that compared to the annual bill of $65 million for TradElect, MillenniumIT was a bargain at a purchase price of $30 million. The LSE predicts that moving to Linux will give the company an annual cost savings of at least ?10 million ($14.7 million) from 2011-12. In addition, "The new technology is a lot lighter, nimbler and easier to install" and will also enable faster releases. The LSE hopes to close the deal this month. The transition from TradElect to the MillenniumIT is expected to take up to 18 months. Lester hopes to get it completed faster than that. In the end, the LSE and its traders will profit from this move. As Steve George, director of corporate services at Canonical(the company behind Ubuntu ) told me when we talked about the deal. "When performance and stability matters, as they do in business, Linux is the positive choice. This move will be good both for the LSE and its customers and to the wider family of Linux." -- Cheers!

Geoff, I bought one of these USB relay controllers but it runs on windows not Linux. I have never used it yet but I consider it worth the price. nice little board and if you can get it to run on Linux I would like to know.

That's three different career paths. Oh, and also an HP hardware expert - a fourth career path. Ah, yes, of course, backup admin - a fifth career path.

I wish I could check the logs (well, I will try), but several hundreds of packages have been installed since this occurred... Though I may be able to trace it back to the first package(s) relating to KDE 4.3.2, which I think was kdelibs... at first I was awaiting updates to kwallet or kdelibs, etc. Now that I have ruled kwallet out as the culprit, I'll have to look at what else was upgraded early on a few days back.

I have tried running apps which use authorization dialogs, such as kmail, from a terminal. No errors show and nothing abnormal occurs before, during or after an authorization dialog is displayed (canceled) on the screen. It is almost as though the authorization dialog is not occurring at all... at least it does not send anything to the terminal. I will try again to verify that, but I had already tried that.

I've noticed that Fry's often has a lot of cameras that are also available, and wherever possible I would definitely want wired models instead of wireless.

Sigh.... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jim Wells, President Date: Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 8:17 AM Subject: Reminder for Meeting on October 14 To: satlug@salug.org Hello all! A reminder about the SATLUG meeting tomorrow evening. Ernest DeLeon has graciously agreed to do a presentation on cloud computing. Here is a short blurb about his presentation: "What is all the buzz surrounding cloud computing? In this presentation, I will discuss what cloud computing is, what it is not, the history behind the concept, what the enabling technologies are and what the major players in the field are. I will also address migrating your infrastructure to cloud computing, common concerns about cloud computing, and avoiding vendor lock-in. I'll discuss what Linux and other open source software have to contribute to cloud computing. If you have any other questions before the presentation, please submit them to the list so I can answer them when I'm there." Hope everybody who is interested in this subject can make it to the meeting.

Never try to use X10 to "animate" Xmas lights.. it's frequency and accuracy are far too low to reliably do a cool out door music synch'd setup. I was just using X10 to turn them on and off once/night. To do the whole animated, music synch'd thing.. see the XCSSA presentation from Jan.. where Charles Strang demo'd his microcontroller and computer controlled setup: Meeting: http://xcssa.org/archives/XCSSA_2009-01-19.html Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_QiUrjGSPM Now THAT's the way to pimp out your Xmas light display! :) Maybe we can Charles to give another technology overview this year...

Travis, both Vmware and VirtualBox support sound.

QuakeWars is one, but I cannot remember the others. http://www.playdeb.net/welcome/ PlayDeb is an unofficial project with the mission to provide the latest open source and freeware games for the current Ubuntu Linux release, in an easy to install manner. The PlayDeb repository extends the official repositories by providing latest versions and new games. Unlike the official packages, PlayDeb packages do not have a predefined release schedule - new game versions are provided as they become available from their authors. There is a short and limited testing phase instead of a full testing cycle to ensure packaging quality, however it is less strict than Ubuntu's official requirements. You may also be interested on the UbuntuBackports project. It has a limited scope compared to PlayDeb but the advantage of being an Ubuntu official project. There is no "company" behind this project - it is managed, maintained, developed and supported by a volunteer group and by the users themselves. Your help is needed and appreciated.

Never had any problems that I didn't have with the standard 32-bit version.

It's not like is > needs to access > 4GiB of RAM. Plus NOTHING works right in 64bit mode. This brings up the whole issue of 32-bits vs 64-bits. In the current Linux From Scratch book, I wrote: "Some other facts about a 64-bit systems need to be added here. When compared to a 32-bit system, the sizes of executable programs are slightly larger and the execution speeds are only slightly faster. For example, in a test build of LFS-6.5 on a Core2Duo CPU based system, the following statistics were measured: Architecture Build Time Build Size 32-bit 198.5 minutes 648 MB 64-bit 190.6 minutes 709 MB As you can see, the 64-bit build is only 4% faster and is 9% larger than the 32-bit build. The gain from going to a 64-bit system is relatively minimal. Of course, if you have more than 4GB of RAM or want to manipulate data that exceeds 4GB, the advantages of a 64-bit system are substantial." Everything I've tried works fine in both a 32-bit system and 64-bit system. I still believe that a 64-bit system for most users is unnecessary. However, it's probably relatively difficult to find a new hardware system that does *not* support 64-bits. Eventually, I think we'll see support for 32-bit systems drop away like we saw support for real mode software dropped. The current mixed-mode systems that have /lib and /lib64 are an inelegant hack and I think we will see less and less need for any 32-bit libraries. Even today, the only real need for 32-bit libraries is to support proprietary code like flash and other older code. Nvidia already has 64-bit versions and Adobe is going that way with the flash player. The only other proprietary code I run is vmware and I'm pretty sure that comes in native 64-bit versions too. -- Bruce From alex1009dgo at hotmail.com Thu Oct 22 11:11:23 2009 From: alex1009dgo at hotmail.com (Alejandro herrera) Date: Thu Oct 22 11:11:25 2009 Subject: [SATLUG] Problems with the kernel on opensuse 11.1 using ndiswrapper In-Reply-To: <4ADFDF7A.4000408@gmail.com> References: <20091019174310.GE6076@subspacefield.org> <200910202256.04584.tweeksjunk2@theweeks.org> <4ADF14F4.9060207@shlrm.org> <200910212136.57070.tweeksjunk2@theweeks.org> Message-ID: I installed opensuse on my computer and the Wireless NIC is not working....

This combined with all the "little things" that haven't worked like some graphical operations in GIMP, certain tools screen refresh issues or artifacting, etc. Use the right tool for the right job.

There's also a 64-bit java plugin. And I don't think things happening in linux requires vendor support first. Build it and they will come. (of course, it has to be built well...)

The advantages of 64 bit systems may be relatively minimal until 2038, when 32 bit *nix systems will run out of seconds. But on Xen kernels, the 64 bit versions do a much better job of optimizing core usage on systems with dual CPUs, each with 4 cores in my experience. On my AMD box at home it doesn't make much difference, though (or at least it won't until 2038).

Not really. There is nothing except a few CPU cycles preventing a 32-bit system manipulating a 64-bit integer. In the C99 C standard it's called a long long int. For time/clock, it probably should be unsigned. As I said earlier, I see 32-bit systems fading away, but not for technical reasons. It's easier and cheaper to make all 64-bit CPUs instead of mixed 32-bit and 64-bit, so they'll all go to 64-bit systems. There is nothing really wrong with 64-bit systems, it's just that they're rarely needed. -- Bruce From youcanlinux at gmail.com Sat Oct 24 20:54:17 2009 From: youcanlinux at gmail.com (Daniel Villarreal) Date: Sat Oct 24 20:54:22 2009 Subject: [SATLUG] OT discarded computer and new OS Message-ID: This last week I was going to throw away something downtown, and when I peered into the trash can, there was a computer!

While I was going over a blog post about the upgrade paths for Windows 7, I realized why: it is far easier and cheaper to junk the machine and buy a new one than it is to upgrade. For the average user, performance is not an issue on 3 year old technology, but after 3 years a Win PC is so slow that it seems like a 10 year old computer. The average user won't reinstall their machine every year or pay someone to clean it up because you can go to Best Buy and get an eMachine for $300 with the latest MS OS. On the bright side, those of us who realize the true useful lifespan of hardware can reap the benefits of this throwaway mentality :) -Henry On 10/24/09, Daniel Villarreal wrote: > This last week I was going to throw away something downtown, and when I > peered into the trash can, there was a computer!

Like Jaunty all the Drivers were detected and all I had to do was to activate my proprietary drivers (intel wireless and the nvidia display driver). Overall I am enjoying what the new version has turned out to be, now I will try out the 64 bit edition on my desktop and see how that has improved.

There's nothing magical about BitTorrent that makes it any more dangerous than downloading any other file. You can think of it as a new kind of FTP with error checking. The malware comments are talking about people who search for files by description and then download and run whatever comes back. You could say the same about Google, as the results may include "mental malware" -- potentially dangerous misinformation. Perhaps this page from Ubuntu will help. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BitTorrent Your browser should automatically launch the proper client when you click on a .torrent link. If it saves the file instead, just open it with your bittorrent client (often found under Internet in the menu) and then tell the client where to put the files it gets for you. Remember to leave the client running a while after your download so others in the cloud can benefit just as you did. Only the file described by the .torrent is shared -- you don't have to worry about others getting your movie collection instead. --Don -- Be well - or at least have interesting symptoms!

I was cautiously optimistic about the service, but as I have been researching it prior to their scheduled November launch in the San Antonio market, I uncovered a few things. It seems that the vast majority of their users rate the service as slow and unreliable. It also appears as if the company (Clear) is 51% owned by Sprint, which explains a lot. Always over promise and under deliver. That's Sprint for you. Anyway, I would suggest that anyone planning to sign up for this service at least google for some reviews. Here is one: http://www.dslreports.com/comments/2879 And another: http://www.dslreports.com/comments/1592 And another: http://www.my3cents.com/showReview.cgi?id=57495 Etc. Etc.
