I deployed a Turnkey LAMP appliance to VPS.net's cloud (which uses Xen virtualisation). From time to time the server (which is fully up to date) experiences what is reported on the console as "soft lockups", like below. I find this baffling. VPS.net support say this is a kernel bug with Ubuntu 32bit. Is this correct? Is there anything I can do to solve the problem?

The machine becomes unresponsive and an endless stream of these messages are spewed on the console:

 Hi,

I downloaded the VMWARE file for the Drupal Appliance. After which I got VMWare Player and loaded the file. Now I get this command prompt interface that i know nothing about. I thought there was a GUI. Please help me clear up this confusion. 

Thank you.

Dear All ..

I want to start learning tklpatch.

The problem is I only have one PC with Jaunty Installed, and this is where I do my daily activity.

Is it safe to apt-get install tklpatch in this pc (since the repo is "hardy") ?

Sincerely

I have deployed the project pier VA into a VM Ware environment.  I have changed the disk space in vmware to 40 gig instead of the default 20, but I have not figured out how to get the OS to regonize the increased storage space.  I do not have a lot of experience with linux, but am a quick study.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

I got an Amazon EC2 Turnkey torrent instance up and running...

My question:

Where / how do I upload a torrent file from my laptop harddrive to the AMI so it will run?

I am using a private bittorrent site that encodes my user info in the torrent file as I download it.

When I try to download it off the site when I am logged in - the torrent does not load ...

presumably because the AMI is not logged in to the site.

I wanted to know if the LAMP 'turnkey' includes the Zend Optimizer (version 3.0, 3.3 or greater) on the most recent version.  Could someone please let me know if this is true?  Thanks.

I use VMWare VSphere 4.  I downloaded the MediaWiki appliance, and went to install it (Deploy OVF Template > Choose MediaWiki OVF file > .. ) and I got an error message that won't let me continue:

The OVF package is invalid and cannot be deployed.
Line 9: Unsupported value 'http://www.vmware.com/interfaces/specification/vmdk.html#sparse' for attribute 'format' on element 'Disk'

Dear All.

Is there any step-by-step docs/samples on how to create a patch ?

Sincerely
