KVM Virtualization on Ubuntu 9.10 Server 5
The last few days, I’ve been playing with Ubuntu Server 9.10. It hasn’t been perfect. There have been problems along the way. So everyone else knows the issues, I’ll list a few here with a little detail.
It all started during the Server 9.10 x64 installation.
Be certain to check out the comments for solutions to issues as I discover them.
Ok, you want WinXP support from me?
Here’s what you need to do before you call me.
VNC Method required for XP Home
- Install UltraVNC
- Forward your router ports for 5800, 5900-5901 to the PC to be helped
- Open PC firewall ports for 5800, 5900-5901
- Start the VNC Service (Start—>Programs—>Admin Tools—>Services)
- Set a VNC password and tell me what it is
- Connect to my web server so I can see what IP address you’re coming from.
- Call me and watch as I troubleshoot your PC.
Remote Adminstration Method
Alternatively, if you have WinXP Pro (only) – enable "Remote Administration". How to do this should be in the online help. Follow the firewall port forwarding instructions for your router. Open port 3389 – the RDP port. I’ll need a login on the machine.
