Am 25. Oct, 2010 schwätzte Eric Shubert so:
moin moin Eric,
thanks for the workshop on Saturday and for following up on it this week!
Thanks also to Larry and the rest of the Installfest crew for picking up
this extra event.
I'm told you had a good turnout on Saturday and the workshop went well
even if you didn't quite finish.
ciao,
der.hans
We didn't get the server installs finished on Saturday, but will be back at
the regularly scheduled IF this Saturday (10/30) to hopefully finish up.
Here are updates since we adjourned:
1) the hurdle we left off with was related to keyboard mapping on VM consoles
running in the VMware Remote Console plugin. I found this:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1469082 which fixes the problem for
me with Firefox (create a ~/.vmware/config file with
xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true
as contents, on the computer running VMRC, not the server).
2) In case anyone's interested, I found the solution to what I thought was a
video problem on my server. I was using a x86_64 disc when I should have been
using a i386 disc. DOH! I'm surprised that the install process went as far as
it did. X wouldn't run, but the text based was working fine. I didn't go
through with the text based install though because the text installer
wouldn't let me configure LVMs. I'm glad I waited.
At this point I'm thinking I'll go ahead with completing my server build.
Then hopefully I can clear any more hurdles there might be before we continue
on Saturday. Also, I'll be fully available to assist with other builds.
See you again on Saturday!
