I did not know about qemu-img nor qemu-nbd (Indicently do you know of any documentation on these utilities I can read ? ) = ps I had already managed to install qemu on lfs which I intend to be a host. thanks again. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Note that the kernel drivers will be different, so you would need to rebuild the kernel. Other files such as ifconfig.eth0, hostname, etc would be different, but could be changed after boot. thanks for the info will give it a whirl sometime -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

For qemu-nbd. I used: http://blog.vmsplice.net/2011/02/how-to-access-virtual-machine-image.html with thesse 2 differences: - I did not use kpartx - the command for disconnection is nbd-client -d /dev/nbd0.

You can use them if you want, but I don't see a use for them unless you are doing some kind of dynamic control of the tables. It's better if the admin knows what rules are being used and they can be easily documented in rc.iptables. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
[blfs-support] Gcr-3.10.1 need to set correct path for successful compilation
Hello, While I was attempting to compile Gcr-3.10.1 from the stable BLFS-7.5 book I was not able to do so until I did the following: XDG_DATA_HOME=/usr/share export XDG_DATA_HOME XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/ export XDG_DATA_DIRS I do not yet have KDE or GNOME fully installed, and was doing the compile from an xterm terminal. These are only set from the kde.sh script. perhaps adding those instructions to the page may help others from getting the same result that I did initially, which was unable to find gio and gobject 2.0 in vala search path. It was rather misleading, as it was neither of those that was the actual problem but the lack of the XDG search paths. My apologies if all but me knew to set these, but when following a written guide line, it would be nice if those of us who do not deviate from it, can get something to install as per the instructions.

Can you post the error message? These are only set from the kde.sh script. In BLFS-7.5 the /etc/profile script has changed. XDG_DATA_DIRS is set there now. I'm not sure XDG_DATA_HOME is needed. That said, grepping though the gcr source shows no references to XDG_DATA. It is used in glib though. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
