sysadmin class
by Umarzuki Mochlis 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

Hi all, This is probably off-topic but i'm seeking advice about "how can i get 30 students to get a hang of linux system administration while loving it" They seemed to not remember what i had taught, even the simplest thing like removing a line while using vim. One thing that i realized that most of them, especially the boys are pretty must hyped when i taught to gain remote access to another fedora system with ssh client and you can bet that they had tried to reboot that ssh server. Still searching the net about labs related to linux sysadmin and if anyone want to share their idea, just reply to this post, don't be shy ;) -- Regards, Umarzuki Mochlis http://debmal.my

Google Summer of Code 2010 Light Talk @UTM, 27 March 2010
by Tan Kean Siong 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Hi all, Just a event promotion from us, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Open Source Software Group. * ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// * ** *Want to write open source code? Want to make money USD 5000 with you code? Want to do both?* Historically, *Google Summer of Code* has brought together nearly 3,400 students with over 200 open source projects to create millions of lines of code. We’re looking for students to join in making 2010 the best Summer of Code yet! Every successful student contributors will be offered a 5,000 USD stipend, enabling them to focus on their coding projects for three months. The Google Summer of Code (GSOC) program is designed to encourage student participation in open source development. Kicking off in 2005, the program has several goals: • Inspire young developers to begin participating in open source development • Provide students in Computer Science and related fields the opportunity to do work related to their academic pursuits during the summer • Give students more exposure to real-world software development scenarios (e.g., distributed development, software licensing questions, mailing-list etiquette, etc.) • Get more open source code created and released for the benefit of all • Help open source projects identify and bring in new developers and committers Student applications will be accepted from March 29–April 9, 2010! For an exposure about the GCOS 2010, we as UTM Open Source Software Group will organize the GSOC 2010 Light Talk @UTM. We will invite experienced participant and also a GSOC mentor, Devtar Singh to explain about the program, share his experiences and strategy to be selected for the program. Feel free to attend : *Google Summer of Code 2010 Light Talk @UTM Date : 27 March 2010 (Saturday) Time : 10am - 1pm Venue : FSKSM N28 BK2 (Level 1), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Skudai Campus * *Free Admission and open to all undergraduates and postgraduates!* Further inquiry, please visit http://groups.google.com/group/utm-oss or contact Faruq 014-6174641 ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

soft link
by Umarzuki Mochlis 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

I had created a soft link in user2 to access user1's Desktop # ln -s /home/user1/Desktop /home/user2/user1-desktop as root, i can list it (/home/user2/user1-desktop) and access the source from that link via nautilus. But not as user2 i'm using fedora 12, but i cannot reproduce the same problem on my debian 5 and i had already disabled selinux (if it is related at all) -- Regards, Umarzuki Mochlis http://debmal.my

Re: [fedora-my] [ubuntu-my] Memasangan KVM Dalam Ubuntu 9.10
by wariola＠gmail.com 06 Mar '10

Salam semua, Mengenai komputer nombor 1 tu, jikalau nk install atas hardware yang tidak support hardware virtualization (selepas grep cpuinfo) mmg boleh, tapi yang akan terjadi ialah technology yang akan digunakan bukannya KVM tapi QEMU. Performance hit utk running QEMU agak teruk dan agak dicadangkan. Berkenaan processor core 2 duo, bukan semua core 2 duo support hardware virtualization especially utk notebook. Jadi sila check di laman web Intel dahulu sebelum proceed. Kadangkala walaupun ada support hardware virtualization, tp mesti di turn on dalam BIOS terlebih dahulu. Utk Virtualbox pula, tidak timbul isu compile kernel jika install virtualbox OSE dalam repo ubuntu. Dia akan take care semua dependencies. Atau gunakan SUN Virtualbox binary juga agak senang utk compile, cuma kena install kernel source dan pastikan semua system telah update dan compiler telah ada. Lps tu restart utk pastikan kernel source dgn current kernel sama sebelum compile. Commandnya "/etc/init.d/vboxsetup start". Virtualbox lebih sesuai utk desktop kerana banyak function memudahkan user share file dgn vm dan host, banyak GUI dan USB pass through yang mudah (among others.. byk lagi). Sgt digalakkan utk user yang baru install dan ingin berjinak2 dengan virtualization. Mengenai XEN pula, ia tidak upstream membawa maksud XEN tidak menggunakan kernel Linux yang dikeluarkan oleh Linus dan kawan2 tp sebaliknya menggunakan kernel sendiri. Justeru aplikasi virtual machine yang kita ingin install mungkin tidak compatible dengan kernel xen jikalau kita belum buat testing sepenuhnya. Ubuntu juga by default support KVM dan kurang support kepada XEN. Even utk install Xen dalam Ubuntu / Debian mungkin perlu kena bootstrapping process terlebih dahulu, yang agak teknikal. Tanpa menggunakan bootstrap, Ubuntu perlu di install menggunakan hardware virtualization support juga sama seperti KVM, dan ini menghilangkan advantage XEN yang tidak perlu hardware virtualization support utk run Linux yang telah dimodify. Mengenai perbandingan XEN dan KVM, KVM upstream dan integrate dalam Linux kernel since 2.6.20. Ia telah di design sbagai kernel module yang boleh di load dan unload. Berbanding XEN yang perlukan kernel sendiri (dan tiada tanda2 akan dimerge dgn main kernel dalam masa terdekat), KVM menggunakan sepenuhnya kelebihan2 dan ciri2 kernel Linux seperti NUMA dan CFS scheduler dan kernel Linux tidak akan direlease jika KVM module masih belum stabil. Berbanding XEN, kernelnya menggunakan scheduler sendiri dan kebanyakan tools sendiri dan tidak sama dengan kernel Linux yang kita biasa gunakan. Ini perlukan banyak testing utk pastikan sesuatu aplikasi itu compatible dengan mainline kernel selain dari patching dan komuniti support yang berbeza. Namun perlu diberitahu bahawa Oracle dan Citrix masih komited dengan XEN dan masih ada ruang utk development XEN ini di masa akan datang. Mengenai KVM dan VMWare, KVM di install directly di dalam kernel justeru seharusnya performance-nya lebih baik. VMware perlu install Hypervisor layer di atas kernel Ubuntu dan jarak antara Guest kepada kernel adalah lebih jauh. Namun ini semua teori sahaja kerana saya tidak menggunakan VMWare server kerana ia tidak open source. Saya hanya berminat dengan teknologi Open Source. Ada beberapa aplication-level virtualization yang jauh lebih ringan, namun mungkin tidak flexible seperti KVM dan XEN seperti LXC, OpenVZ, UML dan V-server menggunakan teknologi containers. Sila2 la cuba dan berkongsi dengan semua komuniti di Malaysia :-) Sekian celahan saya, -wariola- 2010/3/5 Muhd Syazwan Md Khusaini <jipang_menjerit(a)ubuntuseekers.com> > rasa lagi mudah dengan xen.. > tapi yang mana lebig stabil? xen atau vbox? > > 2010/3/5 Harisfazillah Jamel <linuxmalaysia(a)gmail.com> > >> Free yang bebas sebab agensi ni lebih kepada OSS dalam bangunkan >> >> anggota dalaman. >> >> 2010/3/5 Hasanuddin Abu Bakar <bizkutrai(a)gmail.com>: >> > VMware Server adalah percuma dari segi kos, walaupun bukan opensource >> > http://www.vmware.com/products/server/ >> > >> > p/s bukan VMware desktop >> > >> > >> >> -- >> Ubuntu-my mailing list >> Ubuntu-my(a)lists.ubuntu.com >> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: >> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-my >> > > > > -- > Muhd Syazwan @ jipang_menjerit > blog.ubuntuseekers.com > jipang_menjerit(a)ubuntuseekers.com > > One Online Radio > www.oneonline.cjb.net > me(a)oneonline.cjb.net > > -- > Ubuntu-my mailing list > Ubuntu-my(a)lists.ubuntu.com > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-my > > -- .: war|ola :.
