[Users] mislabelled template source
by Jim Kinney 13 Dec '12

Greetings, I've built several new templates from the blank template and a ISO install of various OS's. However, when I built a new VM using the new template(s), the new VM still says it's based from the blank template. I expected it to say it was from the "template-foo" U specified. The VM is correctly built from the template so I think it's a generation/database issue. -- -- James P. Kinney III * *Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail.

You previously mentioned you're using package 2.5.5-0.fc17. It looks like you have a typo, so please resend the exact package of ovirt-node you're using. Also - Where did you get the package from? We'd like to try and reproduce here. Did you make any changes to mount so that /var is now Read Only? Please send us the output for the mount command on your system.

Hi everyone! For those who have not heard the news, I'd like to let you know about the oVirt Workshop at NetApp's Sunnyvale Campus, and remind you about the close of the Call for Participation for the event. The oVirt Project, developers of an integrated, open source virtualization platform built on the KVM hypervisor, invites all those with an interest in open virtualization to the project's next workshop, taking place at NetApp's Sunnyvale campus on January 22-24. The workshop's three day agenda will cover installation and use of oVirt, integrating with oVirt though the platform's APIs, and contributing to development of the project. Reserve your spot at this free event by registering at http://ovirtnetapp2013.eventbrite.com/, and see http://www.ovirt.org/NetApp_Workshop_January_2013 for more information. We are actively seeking presenters who can talk about interesting ways in which they are using oVirt, or share integration stories. Please send proposals for talks to workshop-pc(a)ovirt.org before Friday 14th of December, 23:59 PST. Thanks!
