[Opennode-users] Some questions about opennode

[Scott D. <do...@mo...>]

Greetings,

I just installed OpenNode b22 late Friday and I haven't had a chance to play with it much... so I'm going to ask some questions that I probably could have figured out if I had played with it more.

1) virt-manager appears to be installed but when I try to tunnel the X11 display of the app over ssh, it says that it can't open my display.  I checked and X11 forwarding is turned on in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and it is enabled on my client side as well.  Any idea why virt-manager doesn't work for me?

2) Until the release of the web-based admin app, what is the preferred way to create and manage KVM machines?

3) The install size seems a little bloated with 95 of the 535 packages that are installed (that take up about 1.3 GB of /) are i386 or i686 packages... that can almost surely be removed.  Here is how I derived that info:

[total packages]
rpm -qa | wc -l

[32-bit packages]
rpm -qa --qf "%{n}.%{arch}\n" | grep -v x86_64 | grep -v noarch | grep -v none | wc -l

Do you know of any reason the 32-bit packages are needed?  I know that glibc.i686 has to hang around but everything else can probably go and free up space... and .iso download.

I'm very excited about your product and hope to see it grow and develop quickly.  I'll give back as much as I'm able.

TYL,
