Fedora 'customization' - hostname is incorret until restart

Hi all

Summary: I have an image of Fedora 13 model VM Lab Manager 4.0.0 and when I deploy a child VM from the model (active customization) deployed child VM does not recognize its new host name until it is restarted again.

Details: After re deployment / boot (where VMware Tools does its thing), the configuration file "/ etc/sysconfig/network" is correct (name and details of intellectual property), but "hostname" of the system is always the same as the parent template. It is not until the VM is restarted again that the new name is recognized.

Could someone please help me understand why this is the case? Our RHEL images work perfectly every time (IE new name once completed the customization process).

Thank you very much

cwilso,

> Could someone please help me understand why this is the case?

Outside of Fedora being taken not supported for personalization of Lab Manager?  If the customization is completed as planned, the question isn't really of VMware.  It is the Fedora project.  They may require a reboot to change the name of the host or other restrictions, but it is for Fedora to decide.

The Script in the Lab Manager is specially designed for Red Hat, not all of the knock offs (unbreakable, CentOS, Fedora etc).

As a simple solution, you can configure a PostScript of personalization that will restart the virtual computer after customization is finished.

  • Customization is lost when I restart Firefox

    Recently, my computer blue-screened and directed a memory dump. Since then, all my customization options seem to have been lost - for example:

    • Firefox not working when I open a new window
    • All my expansion options (each extension home page opens and asks me to agree to ways to addon
    • My character returns to the default value
    • My menu bar customizations are lost.

    Whenever I get close and re-open Firefox, the same thing happens again. All personalization data seems to be temporary.

    Check your profile directory that you do not have the additional files for these files as prefs.js as with (1) (2) (3) included in the name of the file if a file cannot be rewritten because it is write protected.

  • When a user logs off Windows 7 x 64 session, the rest can not access the internet until the restart network card

    Hello! I found a problem with my system: when a user logs off Windows 7 x 64 session, the rest can not access the internet, until restarted network card. Reinstall NIC driver did not help. Problem appears on a built-in adapter, in the motherboard and a separate PCI card too.  Same router via its web interface is not accessible. Windows cannot automatically fix this problem after trying to diagnose a problem with his problem Diagnostic tool. After the diagnosis in the DETAILS window, MORE tests, it displays a message like this "computer remote can not receive a connection via the Internet (HTTP) Service Port". "Unplugging" a corresponding Local network connection and then reconnect solves the problem immediately. Switching between users, when two of them are connected do not cause this problem. Important: the problem occurs in the account of the user who was logged on the system FIRST after the PC was on, when the user disconnected on newspapers of a SECOND. If the SECOND user is logged in and the FIRST user disconnects, SECOND can still access the internet. It depends only on the sequence of the user's record, not on the particular user name. And one more interesting fact: after each user registered on and outside just for once, the problem seems to disappear until the PC is turned off and turn it back on!

    System details:

    Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-VLK
    CPU: Intel Core i7 3770 K
    RAM: 8 GB
    OS: Windows 7 x 64

    Hi, Mahesh,

    and thank you very much for your help! Update firmware driver and router LAN did not help me get rid of my problem, but greatly improved my experience of networking in general. Anti-virus software was not guilty, also, but! I found the "iControl" network software, installed as part of Sogiciel 'AI Suite II' (that came on the CD of motherboard ASUS driverssoftware), runnning and causing not only the problem mentioned above, but would also decrease upload speed up to 0.3 MB/s, when download passes to nearly 100 Mbps! Moreover, searching the Internet, I have found a lot of complaints about the behavior of this software, so that people watch you the occasional installation of this piece... sweet ;) As "iControl network" has been uninstalled (not only turned off in the settings of 'Ai Suite II'!), I'm totally happy with my system performance.

    Best regards

  • Windows 7 Machines stuck in the status of "customization."

    I just put into service 2 machines Windows 7 to an automatic, non-persisitant pool.  Customization is complete (that I only need the machines to join the domain).  However, according to the Director of view, they are always in a State of "customization."  Even if I restart or shut down the Service Agent to view them.

    Is anyway to move to the State "Ready"?

    Thank you!

    Mourado,

    Make sure that desktop computers have connectivity to the network through your Virtual Infrastructure Client first.  If they are unable to ping the connection manager, then the agent not report that it is ready.

    I hope this helps.

  • Error message: unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible

    I know that others have had this problem but none of the validated answers turned out to be viable. When I try to start Firefox, the browser does not open and I see the following message appears: "unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. "I am running Windows 8.1.

    It's what happened leading up to this problem. I was passing through normally when I received a pop up message that says a threat has been detected, and Mozilla had a security patch that I have to download. This is the expedition of phishing malware believer, I closed the browser and restart the computer without having to download anything. When I restarted the computer, everything was normal and I googled for information on what had just happened, to see if I really needed a security patch. A forum suggested that I already have a virus/malware that caused the popup, and that I should deal with the possibility that updating Firefox. Then I refreshed Firefox, which seemed harmless enough. The update took the time, so I finally closed the window to refresh. Maybe I should let the window update but it was taken way too long - after that it's my problem to start with the error message.

    Since then, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I also deleted the profile folder in the hope that it would force the creation of a new folder. Nothing has worked. Someone has suggestions for Firefox run again?

    Thank you!

    Hi jbspear, please press the windows key + r and open: %APPDATA%\protector.exe

    There you should find a folder named "Mozilla". try to rename it to something like "Mozilla.bak" (or delete it if you don't like your old firefox bookmarks, passwords and customizations) and then try to restart firefox...

  • FASFA says to use a previous 3.5 version or3.6, how to get back to one of those who?

    do our fasfa for financial aid from the school. Immediately said that I had to use the 3.5 or 3.6 browser. Some pages wouldn't have come in version 4.0.

    You can return to the previous version and secure that is v3.6.16 v3.6.16 to download Firefox

    But older versions than are precarious and potentially expose your system to piracy.

    To return to a previous version of Firefox, download the file to your desktop first and then go to add/remove programs and delete Mozilla Firefox, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc.

    Then, restart, and then delete the Mozilla Firefox folder at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.

    Finally, run the installation file downloaded previously on the desktop.

    It is of course that there is a hardware conflict. I really don t say what you can do to solve this problem.

    If you want to be sure if there is everything well built into the Atheros card and reinstall the OS using the recovery CD. On this way, the operating system will be clean and after the first start will be detected and properly recognized all hardware components.

  • Is it possible to keep the timer "always on top"?

    When you use the timer I like to keep the timer of disappearing from the screen saver, but I didn't understand how to do... If that's possible.  After the timer starts, he goes down to a few seconds and the clock face appears again.  To check the time remaining on the timer, you must click to the home screen and select new application timer... which, in few seconds again goes to the background and the face of the clock reappears, again he must open the clock app to see the remaining time.  If there is a way to keep the timer "on-top" without having to repeatedly touch the screen during execution of the timer, I have not discovered.  I would also add the timer to my eyes so I can toggle to him as well.  Of course, I can do it on my iPhone, but the Watch has not yet this ability.  Apple engineers could make sure with the timer and the timer if they see the need.  Are there others who want that ability as well?  I think so.

    Hello

    It is not currently possible to add Timer looks. However, your watch can be configured for more convenient use of the application of the timer:

    • Set your watch to return to the last app used to raise your wrist:
      • On your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: Watch My > General > wrist Detection - turn on.
      • On your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: Watch My > General > screen Wake:
        • Raise the topic on the wrist, select RESUME last activity.

    After you start a timer by opening the timer app, your watch will return to timer (for as long it remains the last app used) when you then lift your wrist.

    • Add a Timer to your dial of the watch as a complication. When you view the time on your watch:
      • Firmly press the display > drag left / right to the face of the watch you want to customize (not to slip if you want to customize the current face of the watch).
      • Press the Customize button.
      • Some watch faces offers more than one screen customization options > move left until you reach the last screen to select (if available) complications.
      • Tap a complication to customize what is shown in this place.
      • Turn the digital Crown to scroll through available there complications until you reach Timer.
      • Press the digital Crown, then press the dial to return.

    To start the timer directly from your watch dial, press the complication. Once started, the remaining time will be then showed complication on your watch until the end of the timer dial, when the application opens for you to make them disappear.

  • Cannot install KB980182 + 17 other updates - error 0x8007371c or "does not apply to this system".

    I am running Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2, 32-bit. For example, I have the 8.0.6001.18828 version. I use AVAST AV and Comodo Firewall. I've never had McAfee.

    I have 18 'Important' Windows Vista updates will not be installed: several updates, several windows Vista updates, etc. Back to 08/12/09 and 27/04/10 the most recent. They start to add up. Here is a screenshot of them:

    http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/5003/updatesl.PNG

    For about 11 of them, let's say in the meantime (until restarted), but then after the resumption, that they do not have to install but have no error code. The event viewer indicates that they are 'not applicable for this system' (then why they have been downloaded?). Who does not apply are: KB905866 KB971468, KB972270 KB979683 KB978601, KB977816, KB978338, KB979099, KB974318, KB980248, KB980232.

    The rest of them, as (for example, KB980182) will fail because of an error of 8007371 C. In Event Viewer, they all have a sequence of error similar to this one (it's for KB980182):

    I'd appreciate any advice! TKS

    Hi Paul,.

    There are 2 methods to do this, take a look;

    Returning to standalone Access Point

    It is possible to return to a point of access compatible LWAPP Cisco Aironet return to autonomous mode. Please refer to Cisco Aironet Lightweight mode standalone update Access Points to get detailed instructions on the returning to stand-alone mode. Use this URL

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/products/HW/wireless/ps430/prod_technical_reference09186a00804fc3dc.html#wp161272

    Convert a standalone Lightweight Access Point

    You can convert an access point of the mode light return to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS version that supports stand-alone mode (Cisco IOS release 12.3 (7) JA or earlier version). If the access point is associated with a controller, you can use the controller to load the version of Cisco IOS. If the access point is not associated with a controller, you can load the version of Cisco IOS using TFTP.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Note in some deployments LWAPP, LWAPP controller lies between access points and the rest of the network. In this topology, all traffic must pass through the controller communicate with network resources, such as a TFTP server, can occur. When converting back to non - IOS LWAPP with an access point that uses the LWAPP Protocol is no longer, traffic does not reach on the controller to reach the TFTP server.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Using a LAN Controller wireless to go back to a previous version

    Follow these steps to return mode LWAPP stand-alone mode using a wireless LAN Controller:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Journal of step 1 in the CLI on the controller that is associated with the access point.

    Step 2, enter this command:

    config ap tftp-downgrade filename tftp-address-ip access point name

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    By using a TFTP server to revert to a previous version

    Follow these steps to return mode LWAPP stand-alone mode by loading a version of Cisco IOS using a TFTP server:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Step 1 the IP address of the computer on which the server software runs TFTP should range from 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.30.

    Step 2 make sure the PC contains the file access point (for example, c1200-k9w7 - tar.122 - 15.JA.tar for a 1200 Series access point) in the TFTP server folder and the TFTP server is activated.

    Step 3 Rename the access point image file in the folder of the TFTP server c1200-k9w7 - tar.default for a series of 1200 point, c1130-k9w7 - tar.default of access for a series of 1130 access point and c1240-k9w7 - tar.default for a series of 1240 access point.

    Step 4 connect the PC to the access point using an Ethernet category 5 cable (CAT5).

    Step 5 disconnect the power to the access point.

    Step 6 push the MODE button and hold the button while you reconnect power to the access point.

    Step 7 hold the MODE button until the status of the LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds), then release.

    Step 8 wait until restarting access point, as indicated by the LEDs become green followed the status LED flashes green.

    Step 9 after the access point reboots, reconfigure using the GUI or the CLI.
