Tips for using Fedora9

I have been working under Fedora9 for a long time without knowing the specific reasons for switching the version. The device has been changed to thinkpadX61. After playing Vista for a while on the first day, I changed the system. Ideology is very aggressive. What I can reach is probably a "quasi-Child" of a very good similar gene ". But I still live in reality, but now I feel that businessmen are better at getting along with each other, because they are not demons and ghosts after all. 1.

I have been working under Fedora 9 for a long time without knowing the specific reasons for switching the version. The device has been replaced with thinkpad X61. After playing with Vista for a while on the first day, I changed the system. Ideology is very aggressive. What I can reach is probably a "quasi-Child" of a very good similar gene ". But I still live in reality, but now I feel that businessmen are better at getting along with each other, because they are not demons and ghosts after all.

1. Network
The Network in my work place is bound to a MAC address, and the machine is naturally disguised as a disguise.

The NetworkManager is often deleted when the system is installed. Convenience does not mean that the function is powerful and the status is stable.

The configuration file for the wireless network exists in/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0, And the password for accessing the wireless network is stored in/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-wlan0

Fedora 9 does not enable the network by default, just before wlan0 is activated, use ifconfig to change the MAC address. If you change the MAC address, use ifconfig for up and down operations on the NIC device. If you use ifup, ifdown, and iwconfig, it may fail (complaining about incorrect MAC address, ignore operations)

The wireless switch of X61 is at the bottom of the palm. If the system complains that the device cannot be found, make sure the switch is enabled.

2. Development
The drscheme In the yum source is as old as the apt Source In debian. You can download the latest version from the official website, regardless of the interface or help documentation.

But DrScheme has always had a BUG, that is, if your environment is set to Chinese, you cannot enter characters normally in its IDE editor.

In fact, the solution is very simple. Use the root identity to open the drscheme in your path and execute the script and add export LANG = "C. As for the UI Language, Chinese and English are unaffected.

3. Virtual Machine
Because we need to use ERWin in windows to view the database model, we have to use it in a virtual windows.

My x61 CPU supports VT (which needs to be enabled in the BIOS). Therefore, it has been playing kvm for a while, and the speed is very fast, but the interaction with the host is relatively poor, the final choice was vmware player (and a vmware-any-any-update-117-very-ALPHA patch was required for normal use ).

However, this version of libvirt seems to be in conflict with virtualbox and vmware. before using it, you must delete all the previously installed virtual software (especially libvirt ).

Otherwise, virtualbox reports a com creation failure, and vmware reports a vcpu error.

You can only use vmware player to install a new system, but it is a little difficult to configure. Qemu-img can create a vmdk hard disk image file, while the vmx file can be copied and pasted manually.

Below is my. vmx file. Most of the content is copied from the Internet, and only a little bit of content is changed:

#! /Usr/bin/vmware

VirtualHW. version = "3"
Ide0: 0. present = "TRUE"

In ide1: 0. fileName, you can replace it with any ISO file that you want to insert into the virtual machine. Therefore, install the system and vmware-tools (in the workstation installation package.
