Upgrading the Family PC to Fedora 17, and Cinnamon
This weekend I upgraded our family PC to Fedora 17. I’ve been running this latest release for a while on my regular work machine and on my various (and generally short-lived) test systems, but I tend to be slower on the distro upgrade draw with the family computer. For me, slow usually means upgrade within…

Looking Ahead to oVirt 3.1
We’re about one week away from the release of oVirt 3.1, and I’m getting geared up by sifting through the current Release Notes Draft, in search of what’s working, what still needs work, and why one might get excited about installing or updating to the new version. Web Admin In version 3.1, oVirt’s web admin console…

preupgrade gone wrong
Having reached a good break point in my Gluster/Openstack/Fedora tests, I thought I’d preupgrade the F16 VM I’ve been using for ovirt engine to F17, en route to the oVirt 3.1 beta. That didn’t go so well. During the post-preupgrade part (uh, the upgrade), the installer balked at upgrading the jboss-as package that shipped with oVirt…

Fedora 17, OpenStack Essex & Gluster 3.3: All Smushed Together
Within the past couple weeks, Fedora and Gluster rolled out new versions, packed with too many features to discuss in a single blog post. However, a couple of the stand-out updates in each release overlap neatly enough to tackle them together–namely, the inclusion of OpenStack Essex in Fedora 17 and support for using Gluster 3.3 as a…

reinstall
I reinstalled Fedora 17 on my main work machine yesterday — I was having weird issues with gnome-boxes and virt-manager, and thought my problems might have stemmed from the weird libvirt machinations I undertook to get oVirt running on my laptop w/o disabling NetworkManager. I always keep my home directory in a separate partition to…

stuck, volume 1
So, I’m working my way through the OpenShift Origin BYO PaaS wiki page, but I’m stuck right now near the finish line. On Saturday, I was cranking through the howto, highlighting and middle-click pasting my way to BYOP nirvana, until I hit an authentication issue when it was time to create a domain on my…

What I Look For In An Open Source Project Web Site
Perusing new open source software projects has long been both a job requirement and a pastime for me. Over the past decade plus so I’ve come across a ton of open source project web sites, running the gamut from good to bad — with a healthy contingent of ugly in the mix. Of course, it…

Building My Own PaaS with OpenShift Origin
I’m working through the OpenShift Origin Build Your Own PaaS howto, which says: Several of the cartridge packages have additional third party dependencies. These have not yet been resolved for the open source environment. Work is actively progressing. On my Fedora 16 host, these are the cartridges that wouldn’t install for missing dependencies: cartridge-jbossas-7.noarch : Provides JBossAS7…

Run OpenShift Origin from LiveCD, and Make it Stick
The OpenShift Origin LiveCD will have you up and running with the code that backs Red Hat’s PaaS in a flash, but installing the LiveCD to your hard drive requires a few workaround steps. [UPDATE: Check out wiki-fied, updated version of this howto at the OpenShift Origin community site.] Today, Red Hat delivered on its…

more test
In general, I prefer Google+ to Twitter. I like posting more than 140 characters, and I like editing my posts if I need/want to (there are other things I like about G+, but this test post is about those first two). I noticed, recently, how people who post wp.me links onto Twitter get their posts,…
