KVM virtual machine transfer query
by Sanjay Arora
Hello all
I have a question. Can a kvm virtual machine, a linux or windows guest,
generated of fedora, be transfered to a rhel machine and started? or vice
versa?
Please note, I am not talking of live migration. Just transferring files
generated on one OS & running on the another? And what if hardware of the
machines is different?
With best regards.
Sanjay.

Reading an OpenServer hard drive with Fedora
by Bill Davidsen
Is there a way to get at the odd SysV volume manager slices if I have access to
an OS drive? The disk or partition is split into slices, sort of like a crude
LVM. I need to recover the files from the disk, based on a full raw backup of
the drive or the drive itself.
I was hoping for a fuser implementation or so, since the extra cost networking
stuff wasn't bought when the system was built. A local business depends on this,
and I'm trying to help them recover.

prognosticate preupgrade?
by Beartooth
When I first tried F15, I managed to get it hopelessly snarled;
but now I have an expendable laptop running F16 Beta with xfce, and I
think I can learn to live with it. The rest of my machines all still run
F14. I'm wondering what my chances would be if I ran preupgrade twice on
any of them. Anybody want to venture an educated guess?

Yep, names like p4p1 are soooo much better than eth0 :-(
by Tom Horsley
Especially when a new biosdevname package is installed and it
decides the name is no longer p4p1, but is now p6p1.
All the iptables rules that refer to the interface name
are broken.
The ifcfg-p4p1 file needs to be renamed and edited.
Wasn't the theory propounded that these new names
would cause less confusion?
(And why was having some disks named hda0 versus sda0
confusing, so we had to change all the names to sda0?
Can these two theories be made compatible? :-).

SL6 to F16??
by Beartooth
I've been playing with Scientific Linux on an oldish machine, and
now I want to try F16 with xfce -- *not* live, but installed, with
the .iso on a DVD. I realize that requires me to install the gnome
version and then add xfce. Do I just command "yum install xfce," or is
there something more esoteric?
In the course of playing with SL, I've put spare copies of
various data into it, and of course tweaked all sorts of things, many of
them a tad bit tedious; I'd like to preserve them into the F16 install.
Is there a way Fedora can treat SL6 as if I were upgrading
earlier Fedora install? I see this :
$ uname -a
Linux Hbsk.localdomain 2.6.32-131.17.1.el6.i686 #1 SMP Wed Oct 5 17:20:08
CDT 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
There's plenty of space for dual-booting. I suppose I could
install into free space, boot to it, mount the SL partition, and copy
stuff. But that sounds like needless hassle to me, even if I got all of
it right.
Is there another way??

TV Tuner cards?
by Alex
Hi,
I'm interested in a TV tuner card that I can connect to my roof
antenna with a RG6 coax, and wondered if anyone had any suggestions?
I've used the Happauge cards in the past, but that was quite some time
ago. I've found the linuxtv.org page, and although they have a list of
available TV tuners, they don't really give any impression on which
have the best features, etc.
I'd probably also like to set up MythTV at some point.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Alex

Drawer in xfce?
by Beartooth
I'm running xfce on an expendable laptop (under F16, in case that
matters) which can also boot into gnome. How do I add a drawer or three
to a panel?

F15, konqueror sometimes hangs
by Doug Wyatt
After the most recent updates to kde, I'm seeing konqueror
hang every few hours, with no identifiable cause.
What I see is that all currently running konqueror windows stop
responding or refreshing. If konqueror is obscured by another
window, when that window is minimized the konqueror window will
present as all grey.
The hang will eventually resolve and konqueror again becomes
useable. The duration of the hang is more than 10 minutes and
less than 60 minutes. I'm not sure how i can more accurately
measure the duration of the hang, short of staring at the screen
for the duration.
Load levels don't seem abnormal, other apps continue to work ok.
There is plenty of free memory - 200-400 MB. CPU usage is low.
FWIW, I was seeing similar behavior when starting gwenview before
the last kde update. I would start qwenview to view a jpeg and
it would come up as a greyed-out window, then some time (> 5 mins)
later the image and gwenview menus would finally appear.
Any ideas?
Regards,
D Wyatt

Verbose output from Daemons on startup
by Nathan D'elboux
Hi All,
I have built a new Linux box recently, have been using Fedora for years so decided to stick with it and put Fedora 15 on it
I am familiar with strace and redirecting STOUT and STDERR for debugging apps on the CLI but what i am unfamiliar with is on bootup
When the list of daemons begin to start up and eventually gets the [OK] message i have 1 daemon that will hang
So my question is, is there some way whether it be by Console port or rescue disk can i get a verbose output of what the daemon is doing when attempting to boot up so i can verify what part exactly it is failing at?
I want to possibly pipe all STOUT to another box via console or just on local screen but i want a verbose output so i can see more detail of what the kernel is doing on bootup behind the scenes
I tried explaining it as well as i could so i apologize if some people get confused. I can post any other details needed if need be like Specs etc
Thanks guys
Cheers,Nathan
