[Users] Fedora 17 Guests for Desktop Virtualization
by Kevin Daly 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

I am trying to set up Fedora 17 guests and I've come across a problem with Spice.. It works fine with a Gnome 3 sesson, but if I try et Cinnamon or KDE4, the bottom panel is unresponsive.. You cannot click on anything in the panel, cannot configure it etc etc... With KDE4, I have configured a panel at the top, it works fine.. but if I try move it to the bottom it's dead. Any insights would be helpful. I am running vdagent and vdagentd on the Fedora guest. -- ============================ Kevin Daly

[Users] Ovirt Node install to USB stick - required 70GB disk space?
by Jure Kranjc 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Hi, has anybody installed ovirt-node on a bootable usb stick? If the hypervisor is less than 1GB in size, why does installation require 70GB of disk space? It would be perfect to run nodes from usb without any disks. Thanks Jure Kranjc

[Users] Default compatibility version in ovirt nightly
by Gianluca Cecchi 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Hello, I remember some time ago someone writing about compatibility version defaults for 3.2 that should be put to 3.2. I'm using oVirt nightly in all-in-one config as of ovirt-engine-3.2.0-1.20130101.git2184580.fc18.noarch but compatibility versions defaults are still 3.1 both for local_datacenter and local_cluster and Default Datacenter and Cluster Gianluca

Rapidly improving, too. wish improved: SPICE connection reliability and LDAPS support. wish added: native ATA-over-Ethernet SAN support. wish removed: Kerberos dependencies. Let people who want Kerb have it, but don't force it where it's not needed. LDAP over SSL is secure. Many thanks to all the oVirt team for all their hard work! --Charlie

[Users] adding iso images
by Carl T. Miller 06 Jan '13

06 Jan '13

Is there a way to add an iso image to an nfs share by simply copying a file? Or is there a command to run from one of the hosts? The only method I know is using engine-iso-uploader and it's not working in my environment. c

[Users] yum repo file to be corrected n web site
by Gianluca Cecchi 06 Jan '13

06 Jan '13

Hello, I noticed that the page http://www.ovirt.org/Yum_repo_file doesn't contain correct info. for example for stable baseurl=http://ovirt.org/releases/stable/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/ instead of what contained in file generaed by installation of ovirt-release-fedora.noarch.rpm (downloaded from http://ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release-fedora.noarch.rpm) Also wrong for nightly and missing reference for alpha and beta repos As I have rights to edit wiki, can I correct or is there any reason I don't know or change in plan?
