I currently have a Debian 5.0 (Lenny) VM - want to replace with either a clean 5.0 image or if available a 6.0 (Squeeze) image - is that something I should try to do via the remote management interface (not yet seeing how media would be handled) or get someone from arpnetworks to do?
djbclark: if you'd like to reinstall you can simply reboot via the VNC interface and select 'boot from CD'
djbclark: your initial install media should be still "mounted", and you can reinstall. (I've done this for both of my machines here).
cedwards: thanks, having problems with vnc at the moment but may just be something silly...
djbclark: what client?
cedwards VNC Viewer Free Edition 4.1.1 for X - built Mar 10 2010 22:31:05
5906 should be :6, right?
djbclark: not familiar with that one..
5906 should be :5906
neither worked in any case... I'll try tightvnc...
I generally use tightvnc
works
great!
spoke too soon... video works, keyboard not so much. also both tight and real work, so original not wrking was probably machine being hard down.
have to make sure your mouse focus is in the window for keyboard to pass through
yep, have that. keyboard did work, up until the ncurses debian install screen... perhaps I'll try the graphical install option.
seems happier; the mouse at least works, haven't had need to use kb yet...
kb also works, but mouse is messed up; I think the server-side should probably be setting that "use tablet mode" flag for absolute cursor positioning.
where messed = vnc mouse and remote mouse are not well corelated (eg different positions / hard to get remote pointer to go where you want)
I've seen that before, yeah.
anything I've installed only required the keyboard though
hi all
Does ioctl support SIOCGARP in order to fetch the kernel arp cache table ?
linux does allow that but I don't know how to manage it under bsd's
any help ?
heh... I put miredo inside my freebsd vmware image, and now my vmware image has ipv6 connectivity even if the host OS doesn't :)
now I just need to get dyndns running somewhere
