HowTo: Install configure KVM Virtualization & run Guest OSes in openSUSE
By rbkumaran at 2008-09-30 16:25

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a Linux kernel virtualization infrastructure. KVM is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions Intel VT (vmx) or AMD-V (svm).

Flash in Konqueror
By trevorparsons at 2008-09-30 13:36

For ages Flash has failed to work properly for me when embedded in Konqueror on my Arch Linux system. It would start to load, look as if it was buffering, but not play, and meanwhile that tab or instance of Konqueror would be eating CPU.

Today I found a fix, as detailed by Mike Arthur.

Install kmplayer. I'm currently running kdemod3, and I had to install kdemod3-kmplayer from AUR, which I accomplished by running
yaourt -S kdemod3-kmplayer

By sridhar11 at 2008-09-29 00:55

VMware Inc. released an OpenSource version of their VMware-Tools, called open-vm-tools. While they’re quite easy to install on Gentoo (emerge open-vm-tools), it’s not that easy having them installed on a Debian Etch (4.0) if you want to go the proper way.

package does not update
By walter81 at 2008-09-27 06:01
Hi there,

I have a working Mandriva Free 2008.1 distribution and want to update glibc.
My current version is 2.7-12.

The Software Manager did not find glibc as an independent package.

I have downloaded version 2.18.0. ./configure, make, make install work without any errors but rmp -q glibc returns the older version.

I have tried searching for an RMP package of glibc but till now I did not find it.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Ubuntu scp stall resolved
By Vermind at 2008-09-24 06:34
I had been troubled for long by my Ubuntu server not uploading files with scp or rsync properly. The transfers would hang at a little bit over 2MB, and never proceed from there. I asked on the Ubuntu forums about this, and yesterday received a fix suggestion that worked for me. The fix entails adding lines to /etc/sysctl.conf that change the default net and IPv4 behaviour, like so:

[code]
net.core.rmem_default = 524288
net.core.rmem_max = 524288
net.core.wmem_default = 524288
net.core.wmem_max = 524288
