Upgrade Fedora 9 to 10, with IPA-server

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Hi again,

Just today I have upgraded my Fedora 9 IPA-server to the latest Fedora version, namely Fedora 10.

As reckless can one be.. just upgrade the system (with all of its db4 libraries), while the ipa instance is still running, increasing the risk of corrupting the (live) berkeley databases that are the back-end of the ldap instances.

I managed to fix the problems I encountered.. read on to read about my investigation and how I solved the problem, it might be of use if you happen to have the same symptoms . . .

Fedora 9 finally working in VMWare guest

Friday, October 17th, 2008

Yes.. I finally got it working.. not granting this issue much time, it took a while for me to have my Fedora 9 machine working within a VMWare workstation session…

What was wrong? The mouse pointer was not synchronized well. The guest ’saw’ my pointer on other places than where my actual mouse was.

The solution? as suggested by this blog, I modified the xorg.conf, and voila, I had it going.. now I can continue my Fedora Directory server quest while using Gentoo Linux as my host machine.

Thanks, tapman!
