Installing Hyper-V Linux Integration Components v2 in CentOS 5.2
Microsoft still hasn’t released a CentOS or RHEL RPM for Hyper-V’s Linux Integration Components, so you still have to build them yourself. Of course, since neither RHEL or CentOS are supported platforms, Microsoft won’t help you much.
So, with help from Julian Field’s work log on installing the original LIC v1, I’ve put together a minimal instruction set for performing a LIC v2 install on a fresh CentOS 5.2 install.
I started with an absolute minimal install, so there should be no packages other then those below that are needed.
Lines starting with “$” are shell commands.
Lines starting with “#” are something you need to do.
# In Hyper-V: Mount CentOS 5.2 ISO image
$ mkdir -p /media/cdrom
$ mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
$ yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c5-media install gcc make gnupg kernel-devel
$ umount /dev/cdrom
# In Hyper-V: Mount Linux Integration Components ISO image
$ mkdir -p ~/linux_ic2
$ mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
$ cp /media/cdrom/drivers/dist/* ~/linux_ic2/ -R
$ cd ~/linux_ic2/
$ make install
$ reboot
YOU ARE DONE!
To verify, look for the new seth* network interface.
Wasn’t that easy?

Taxes, representation, and the voting age
Boston Legal just brought up a good point tonight. one of the major purposes behind our revolution against England was to stop taxation without representation. Yet, today, many people under 18 earn enough to have to file taxes, but can not vote. While there are many arguments regarding the age at which you should be able to vote, one that is directly related to the founding of the USA does have a certian ring to it… comments?
VMWare Fusion: “Error loading operating system”
If you are using VMWare Fusion under OS X 10.5 (Leopard) with bootcamp, and get an “Error loaded operating system message”, there is finally a simple fix.
Open your *.vmx file for your virtual machine, and add the following line:
ide0:0.biosGeometry=”1024/255/63″
that should do the magic!

Syncro Editing for BarCamp Portland 2008
I’m running both a Gobby Server (Sobby) and MoonEdit server this year for session notes and the like. Both these programs allow you to synchronously edit a document, among multiple users at once. I’m also saving all the documents on my server, and will clean them up and post them at the end of BarCamp Portland 2008.
- The password for either is bcp2008
- Gobby Server: gobby.lokkju.com:6522
- MoonEdit Server: moonedit.lokkju.com:32123
Gobby (http://gobby.0×539.de/)
- Open Source, and Free
- Available for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and OSX.
- Windows Binaries are on the web site
- Linux users install via Apt or RPM
- Mac users can find it in MacPorts
MoonEdit (http://www.moonedit.com/indexen.htm)
- Free, but not open source
- Available for Linux and Windows
- Binaries for both platforms are available on web site
Even More Enhancements to subModal:
subModal is a nice, simple, javascript lightbox script that uses iframes. It is quite useful, especially after enhancements done by Todd Huss (Enhancements to subModal).
Two annoying things about it are that it modifies the history of our browser, and that the loading indicators go away to early. Attached is a simply replacements for it, that is drop in except that instead of settings the “loader.html” file, you need to set the “loader.gif” file.
The code is pretty self explanatory, and you can see a demo by clicking the “Map” icon at Kent Price Realty.
A Browser for SmugMug Galleries, because SmugMug uses incrementing gallery ids
This will add a small div in the top right corner of your screen when on SmugMug. You can then click the Previous and Next links on that div to go to the next or previous gallery, based on the id.
Because of how SmugMug works, this will let you view non-password-protected private galleries… have fun!
You can either get it from userscripts.org or the code itself is after the break.
