Sure enough I look in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and there is blacklist 8139cp I comment it out #blacklist 8139cp Then I reboot and it works. Linux admi ...more

Ubuntu Turns 7 Years Old

I remember when I first used Ubuntu. One of the guys I worked with at a local data center threw a cd in a nice cover at me. It said Linux for Human Beings. I did not think much of it but once I installed it I was like wow. Not bad. I did not like Debian much at the time I liked Redhat better but even then Ubuntu was cool!

Years ago back in the day as they say I was constantly on IRC! I was told try Linux to run several services! That is what got me into to linux. I want to say around 1998! I am sure it was 98!

Migrating Virtuozzo to OpenVZ or SolusVM!

I worked for a data center that hated Parallels. The wanted to stop paying the ridiculous pricing for Virtuozzo.. We decided to migrate from Virtuozzo to OpenVZ. We were actually going to SolusVM but the migration to any OpenVZ platform should be the same. First you should copy over the configuration file. We like to do this using rsync. rsync -a -e ssh /vz/private/1234/ve.conf root@10.1.0.1:/etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts/6860.conf Next we copy over the container to your OpenVZ server or in ou ...more
