No wrong answer

vmware for portability and for its support community
vmware for a larger range of guest OS support
vmware is a standard in the industry
The vmware virtual appliance community is huge and this will help you
play and familiarize yourself with virtualisation.


question about Virtual box, they claim to be the only GNU
virtualisation product, then why are their packages in archive:

deb http://www.virtualbox.org/debian gutsy non-free

I saw the items on virtualization techniques. What is the best package
to get some experience with virtualization. VMware or VirtualBox ?

Why don't you just try out which one you prefer? Both are available for
free.

Personally I use VirtualBox - it was easy to install XP in a virtual
machine.

Hello Bertrand,
Thanks, did what you suggested - compiz complete removal of Compiz the
problem did not repeat. No apologies please I tried learning French as a
second language in college and failed. I did not try out the cube thing
as the white screen effect was not there everytime I logged in.
Thanks again.
Mohan

Copie ? :
Objet : Blank screen

Many a time after I start the computer and log in with the user name
and password on 7.10 i get a blank screen and have to then use my power
off button and then repeat the process all over again.
I am not yet sure about whether it happens only when I have modem online
while booting.
Is that a problem do files get corrupt?

That's the prprietary version with some extensions to the GPL version. See
<http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions> for the difference between the
versions. The GPL version is in the universe repository.

Hi,

I encountered the same problem on our LTSP-server and clients.

On Nov 7, 2007 7:19 PM, Philipp Hanselmann <philipp@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I noticed that on the server screen everybody can switch off the server?

To prevent that, I found out that I can use SystemMenu=false in the gdm
configuration (/etc/gdm/gdm-cdd.conf).
Ok with this the shutdown and reboot options are not anymore available
on the login screen.

for a more general discussion have a look at
http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/20/disable-shutdown-for-normal-users

This works for GNOME.

We also use XFCE and then you need to do the following:

we need to force xfce in the kiosk mode by creating the file
/etc/xdg/xfce4/kiosk/kioskrc containing

[xfce4-session]
CustomizeSplash=ALL
CustomizeChooser=ALL
CustomizeLogout=ALL
CustomizeCompatibility=%wheel
Shutdown=NONE


This worked for us, so hope it will be helpfull to you as well.


Cheers,

Alexis Kotte
