The Open Enchilada Project S04E02 - Godinez Universitarios


En esta ocasión estuvimos visitando la residencia del señor Gunnar Wolf, famoso miembro de la comunidad de Software libre en México, académico de la UNAM y Debian Developer. Nos presentó su libro “Construcción Colaborativa del Conocimiento” (post en su blog aquí).

Estuvimos platicando con el acerca del libro, del voto electrónico, de los móviles (Gunnar tiene un telefono basado en openmoko). Platicamos también de Nokia, y su evento (el cual pueden ver aquí).

Anexamos que … extrañamos a Mike, quien fué a Chetumal.

Loop mount iso files without being root

There is a rather convenient way to mount ISO files (CD/DVD images) onto a directory on Linux, which goes as follows:
mount -o loop,ro /path/to/image.iso /path/to/mountpoint
(where the mountpoint is a directory).

This method works very well, but has one essential drawback: you must be root in order to do that. So how do I get to do so as a regular user ?

A barely known alternative lies in fuseiso, which uses the FUSE filesystem in user-space layer to accomplish that.

In order to use it, you must install the package fuseiso, which is available with the openSUSE distribution, and from the release repository (e.g. for 11.4) as well as from the filesystems repository and OBS project:
zypper install fuseiso

Once that has been done (as root ;)), you can simply mount ISO files like this, without being root:
fuseiso /path/to/image.iso /path/to/mountpoint

Note that as an additional benefit, fuseiso also supports images in NRG, BIN, MDF and IMG (dd) format, as well as zisofs.

In order to unmount, simply use fusermount -u, e.g. like this:
fusermount -u /path/to/mountpoint

Updated libvirt for openSUSE12.1 RC1

Last week I updated the libvirt package for openSUSE12.1 RC1 / Factory to version 0.9.6. The package was also submitted for SLE11 SP2 Beta8. Changes since last update include backporting of AHCI controller patch for qemu driver. With this patch it is possible to use SATA drives with qemu instances. The following controller device XML is used to specify an AHCI controller

<controller type='sata' index='0'>
  <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
</controller

The libvirt qemu driver supports many AHCI controllers, each with one bus and 6 units. To attach a SATA disk to a unit on an AHCI controller, use the following disk device XML

<disk type='file' device='disk'>
  <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
  <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/test/disk0.raw'/>
  <target dev='sda' bus='sata'/>
  <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/>
</disk

Also new to this libvirt update is opt-in for Apparmor confinement of qemu instances. /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf has been patched to explicitly set the security driver to ‘none’. If Apparmor is enabled on the host, libvirtd is generously confined since it needs access to many utilities and libraries, but users must opt-in to also have qemu instances launched by libvirtd confined. Simply edit /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf and change security_driver to ‘apparmor’. Of course, selinux is also available if users prefer it over Apparmor.

New Style for YaST2

YaST2 got a lot of improvements which will be available in openSUSE 12.1. YaST doesn’t accidentally overwrite configuration files anymore (last bug fixed 😉 ) and snapper provides a rollback function for configuration options, just to mention a few. Therefore it’s time to give YaST2 a new and fresh style. As YaST Qt supports Stylesheets it’s simple to influence YaST’s style.

Screenshot of YaST's New Style

FACTORY contains the new style already. Packages for older releases are also available in my build service project: http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:tgoettlicher:Factory&package=branding-openSUSE.

I hope you like it. You can use YaST’s Stylesheet Editor to play around the the stylesheet as described in my this blog post. Please send me improvements you want to share. Thanks.
