Re: [CentOS-virt] iTunes?

2011-02-12 Thread Lucas Timm LH
Ealier was possible run iTunes in Linux using Wine. Actually I really don't
know if it still works, because a lot things have changed since 2007 (was
the last time I'd installed iTunes in Linux). BTW you can install VMware
Workstation or Player to run Windows XP/Seven/Whattever and do what you
want. I guess VirtualBox OSE have no USB support, so you will need to buy a
licence to VirtualBox or VMware.

I don't know if KVM supports USB too.

 Hi All,

 If you would please suffer a Fedora Code 13 question on a CentOS mailing
 list, I
 have a Linux customer with Fedora Code 13 who loves it but is about to dump
 it because he really, really wants iTunes. (He owns an iPod and an iPhone.)
 None of the Linux utilities quite work right and he wants to buy music from
 the iTunes store as well. Plus he wants to synchronize his contacts list.

 So, I was thinking of installing an XP VM on his computer. Would iTunes
 work
 properly?  Would you use KVM or Virtual Box? Any words of wisdom shared
 would be appreciated.

 Many thanks,
 -T

Re: [CentOS-virt] CentOS 4.8

2011-02-03 Thread Lucas Timm LH
Are you trying to log as root in GDM or in a TTY?

2011/2/3 Y. K. Liu ykl...@gmail.com

 Hi,

 I installed CentOS 4.8 on VMware Fusion 3.1.2. The installation was fine.
 During the installation, it asked me to enter my username and password. I
 tried to enter root as the username, but it was not allowed. So I had to
 enter other name for that.

 After I logged into CentOS 4.8, I could not do sudo because I was a regular
 user. Could somebody tell me how I can become root?

 Thank you.
 Jerry

Re: [CentOS-virt] Resizing EXT3 partition in guest instance CentOS5

2011-01-26 Thread Lucas Timm LH
Yes, it will, works all the time with me but using SysrescueCD. But don't
forget to backup your data before the resizing, any operation with disk
partitions may lost data.

 Hi,

 I have two guest vm instance running CentOS 5 with ext3 partition. I will
 like to reduce 1 VM harddisk space and using the 'release' harddisk space to
 add onto my second VM. Basically I need to know how can I reduce and
 increase an ext3 partition in CentOS KVM. I did a search and basically i can
 do it by booting the VM using Knoppix and use Gparted to reduce and increase
 the diskspace. I am thinking of the following

 1) Boot first VM using Knoppix
 2) Reduce the ext3 partition disk size using Gparted
 3) Shutdown the VM and resize the diskspace using Virtual Manager
 4) Increae the diskspace of the second VM using Virtual Manager
 5) Boot up second VM using Knoppix
 6) Increase the ext3 partition disk size using Gparted
 7) Reboot the second VM

 As this is the first time i am doing it, will these work? Anyone has
 experience resiziing their EXT3 partition in KVM environment before?

 Thanks!

 Regards
 yongsan
