Nat!'s Web Journal

Well documented. Hehe, i think 95% of the comments are the GPL3 claimer and disclaimer notes.

Nice. Seems that my work for this year is done.

Important first steps, when the XenServer has booted up for the first time:

1. Enter the shell
2. Mount the support Linux Guest Support image: mkdir /tmp/xxx ; mount /dev/cdrom /tmp/xxx ; cd /tmp/xxx ; ./install.sh
3. Check the templates installed with xe template-list, note the names.
4. Install a VM with xe vm-install template-name="Debian Squeeze 6.0 (32-bit)" new-name-label="Debian Linux Test"
5. exit back to the XenServer Configuration console
6. Check Virtual Machines/All VMs that your VMware is there.

Looks OK, but the VM won't start, most likely because I am testing this in VMware.

Kempe:~ nat$ cat foo.c
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
   printf( "%4$*3$.*2$s\n", 1LL, 5, 3, "hahaha", 2LL);
}
Kempe:~ nat$ cc -o foo foo.c
foo.c: In function ‘main’:
foo.c:5: warning: format argument 1 unused before used argument 4 in $-style format
Kempe:~ nat$ ./foo
hahah

Yet, printf manages to do just fine on MacOSX and Linux ?

Posting this, although everbody will think, it's my fault :)

sudo ping -f <some other mac os x box>

shows lots of packet loss.

It's quite normal.

Maybe start worrying, if the pinged server is linux.

You knew that already, and you forgot again.
