  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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, […]

  • As loyal readers of this blog (if any such creatures did exist) might have noticed, I’ve been working with the oVirt project, which got a reboot last year when Red Hat finished open sourcing and porting to Java the previously .Net-based management for its enterprise virtualization product. Given the new start for oVirt, the project has […]
