KVM in fedora 13
Quick note to self:
Install kvm:
yum install virt-manager libvirt libvirt-python python-virtinst kvm
While setting up KVM on a fedora 13 host, remember to
set the default network to autostart,
virsh net-define /usr/share/libvirt/networks/default.xml virsh net-autostart default virsh net-start default
then after that, edit
vi /etc/sysctl.conf
and set
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
and reload and restart libvirtd:
service libvirtd reload service libvirtd restart
or the network will be down on all guests.

Dropbox Servicemenu
I was looking for a new project to package, and I found this: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?action=content&content=124416 .
Then I made this: http://magnu5.fedorapeople.org/review/dropbox-servicemenu/
dropbox-servicemenu
I haven’t tested this yet, and the RPM’s lack documentation, will query upstream to make some. In the meantime, you can enjoy this with your fedora kde!
Requires: dropbox, python, sqlite and kde.
kopete-protocol-facebook is no more
This plugin has been obsoleted by upstream, facebook now supports the xmpp protocol and it’s preferred to use this instead.

kopete-protocol-facebook
Kopete-facebook is now called kopete-protocol-facebook, as that is the upstream name used in openSUSE.

Got to stop…
..My seemingly endless distrohopping.
If anyone’s got some tips how to stop hopping, please do share them! 
Anywhoo I’m back to Ubuntu.
Gnome with Dust Sand theme. Still need to install vmware server 2 on the laptop, so I can study Windows servers + networking and AD and WSUS and Exchange and all the other buggy stuff. Vmware server 2 is good in the sense that it actually shares the NAT between virtual machines, unlike VirtualBox. Otherwise I’d use that. Vmware server 2 is fast run through a local net too, no mentionable lag as I first suspected there would be. Anyhow I’m just rambling, I’ll get back to my whiskey on the rocks now.
Thanks for reading.
testdriving OpenSolaris 2008.11
Just got opensolaris set up on my desktop system, flash, drivers and all. still searching for daap support so I can listen to my music. Seems like a pretty solid system now, even tough it has it’s share of weirdnesses. I’ll completement this post later with an howto for installing drivers for the Audigy2 Zs soundcard and the Nvidia nforce ehternet driver.
edit: no I won’t, I got umm… drunk and distracted by the newly released Sabayon 4….
P.S opensolaris isn’t as solid as one might think, flash causes firefox to crash more often then it doesn’t, but when it works it worls great: full screen flash is not choppy as it is in linux land. And I didn’t get multimedia to work @ all. Another OS that needs some more time to mature.
Fedora 10 Preview #2
4 days until release! This release is gonna rock hard! Only issue I have is with pulseaudio, choppy sound for some strange reason, but other than that, nothing.
Just wating for virtualbox to support fedora 10 so I can test running CentOS using my favorite virtualization product. I haven’t tried installing it from the tar.gz yet
But on the other hand, I might just want to check out what is supported directly from fedora too… but not tonight.
