    The desktop is going to need a specific link. Not sure how Ubuntu does this and it will vary by the desktop that you have chosen. But it might be something really simple like just making a symlink to the right folder.

    Yeah, that's all I think should be necessary. I haven't used Ubuntu Desktop in years. I've been exclusively CLI for a few years now.

  • What is the Status of OpenSolaris?

    I loved SunOS, Solaris, and OpenSolaris, but after the Oracle buyout all of the Sun equipment has been slowly replaced and has gone away for the most part, and with the important features being ported to other OSes like FreeBSD, there's not much of a real reason to use OpenSolaris or its babies. Having said that though, I'm put off by the name OpenIndiana, it just sounds really stupid to me, and I don't think I could ever install something like that without flat out denying it if anyone asked. It just makes me think "that's the best name you could come up with, huh? Not even anything remotely related to the Sun or stars or anything..." (I realise the origin comes from a project name, but sticking with it was a mistake, so in a sense I guess I should say "So, couldn't come up with anything at all?")

    Darn. I got it over to Hyper-V but it just goes to automatic repair and won't boot to windows. I guess I should have removed VMware Tools first I forgot. Hopefully that's the only issue.

    No, don't think so... I think it's dynamic DNS, unless it changed.

    You are correct. You'd want something more than a cache then.

    One of the great things about Digital Ocean is there massive collection of Tutorials.

    The best part of all, almost all of them in general tutorials meaning you can use them, even if you don't use Digital Ocean!

    Check it out: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials

    I've used several of their walkthroughs. They are very good.

    If I remember correctly there is no way to properly license a virtual instance of XP.

    XP Mode running under a Windows 7 VM?

    That makes it easier. But you will still need the proper virtualization licenses for WIndows 7.

    It's currently working here, however it could have been a minor service issue, or about a half dozen other things.

    Regarding Spark - that is one clunky, heavy client. Isn't it Java based?

    Yeah, it is ancient and pretty much no one using OpenFire has used it in years.

    Makes what Katie just posted kinda difficult. 😉

    Yeah, I've noticed that even in the Unitrends Community, which is the forum for the community edition (aka Unitrends Free). Unitrends employes have been giving different answers to the same questions. I'm wonderg if they aren't basing their answers off some internal version rather than the Unitrends free public beta. They also said on the forums that the disk based exclusions currently are not working even if selected in the GUI, I don't even have the option for that. So, I'm guessing it's that the non working features are not in the public beta.

    I've done this many many times - mainly so I can use WSUS to pull down the windows updates locally instead of using MS's update servers.

    Do exactly what you said. Build the machine, join the domain, do your setup, take a pre sysprep image, unjoin the domain, reboot, sysprep, take image.. deploy image, join domain.. done.

    Hard to say but I feel like it is tied to the massive shift from VMWare to HyperV virtualization.

    I'd say that's has a lot to do with it. VMWare's offerings are becoming less and less attractive.
