I deleted some of the virtual images by hand. Now Virtual Manager keeps
complaining that these are not there. I Know, I deleted them.
When I want to remove the non-existing machines, it won't let me. When I
try to overwrite, it won't let me. Releasing will not work.
Somewhere it has hidden the information of this and I have no idea
where. The same goes for some iso's that are not there anymore.
I can make new ones, but the error messages are a bit frustrating.
Anybody an idea?

First we thought the PC was a calculator. Then we found out how to turn
numbers into letters with ASCII and we thought it was a typewriter. Then
we discovered graphics, and we thought it was television. With the World
Wide Web, we've realized it's a brochure. -- Douglas Adams. |

Did a reboot and now all is well again. Weird.

I have no problem when I delete the machine in two places. First right
click on the machine on the run page. Then delete the .vdi in
file/virtual machine manager. You have to delete both. |

On Monday 26 Oct 2009 12:52, houghi played with alphabet spaghetti
and left this residue on the plate:

You've never heard of dick^wuptime waving?

Mine did once. I don't mind.
It doesn't matter if the system reboots during the installation, and my
guess is the use of kexec it purely to cut down the reboot time during
the installation. I don't recall any kernel upgrades ever
offering/using kexed to swap from the running kernel to the new kernel.
Possibly because it's not exactly a safe thing to do when you're sat
there using a GUI desktop browsing for various boobies and other pr0n,
and you can't really expect the end user to give that up long enough to
drop out of the GUI, log in at a text console, issue the required
commands, and then re-log in to the GUI and carry on where they left
off.
Quote: The program responsible is kexec (at least I think
that's what's used) and perhaps you should have a look at it if you start
doing kernel hacking. just run kexec -l /boot/bzImage en reboot with
kexec -e
Never build a working kernel in my life.  Never needed to.
I have. I've built a few that I couldn't use as well[0], and that was
fun to sort out :-)
[0] Not building in module support, and not including support for the
various file systems in the kernel does mean you can't do very much at
all. At least the kernel booted far enough for it to tell me I'd fscked
up :)

Kexec is to boot faster and to reboot faster to a new kernel. This can
be critical in a running enviroment where you have done a kernel update.
http://en.opensuse.org/Kexec
Say you have a busy webserver and you need to do a kernel update. Using
Kexec will allow you to have a bit less downtime.

After two days and having no idea what I was doing, the fun of not being
able to watch boobies was a bit gone.

But I will accept the rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am
free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I
tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free
because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. |
