a quick check-in here. last night I rebuild my server as per the guide referenced in your main post. (well I used that mostly for references as I had install the Ubuntu server before), in case you did not see my post with my networking issues a couple of days ago, all is fixed and up and running. af...

Hi, I have started my home server rebuild last night, and as I have some network issues I still have time to think about my storage and it's sharing. my plan is to have a file server and a VM server. so I am building out a Ubuntu 14.04 server with KVM + cloudmin + webmin. as main HOST server. I have...

about what? it being annoying?

no, the "Virtual Machine Host " / KVM install actually creates the virbrX bridge. most people just drop that after install and if needed create the brX bridge. it's just a naming convention though. they all the same thing. just annoying like hell.

Yes that is the case, when you setup KVM on ubuntu (which what installing the "Virtual Machine Host " does ) it creates the bridge by default,to be used for vm NAT setup. I do however have a hunch about what happend though, I think, and this is just an educated guess so far, that 14.04 ser...

well I am googling, but nothing useful so far. also only one nic is currently in use(i.e. connected to the router) so I don't think it's the issue. if anything, I will remove the PCI one until all is configured. as a side note, where is the virbr0 configuration defined, do you know? as it was not in...

thanks Ian, I think I just might do that. however this were a fully functioning server (opensuse 13.1) until last night :-), and it did find the interfaces during setup, even ask me which one should be used for primary (I have 3 interfaces, a builtin realteck and a dual-port PCI intel pro) so I know...

Ok, even though I got no answer on my other post here, I decided to take the plunge and start setting up my new server. easy enough, I got the ISO and burn it onto usb stick, rearange my HDDs as I want it, and boot up the machine from usb stick. run through setup OK. but made a mistake to select ins...

will do...

you should watch out for mine as well :-)

good luck with that, I have all my CD/DVD library ripped already :-P as for VNC I can never seams to get it working for me properly. why do you need VNC on a server? or do you have a DE loaded on it? also try ramina for client. it's linux based, very user friendly and can do telnet, vnc ,rdp, ssh. a...
