Rackspace has released a new managed support service for DevOps tools. The new DevOps Automation Service is intended to help developers automate the process of deploying and scaling hybrid cloud infrastructure for "fast-growing" applications, while advancing the adoption of the DevOps methodology among software and IT teams.
This service works by allowing programmers to deploy, scale, and test new configurations in hours. More frequent software releases should, in theory, help improve the quality of software deployments and automating processes will allow organizations to provision servers consistently and free of mistakes typically caused by manual installation and configuration.
"Rather than sacrificing quality or uptime because of avoidable human errors, DevOps methodology and practices of agility and automation can reduce human interaction with code and infrastructure, allowing development and other teams to focus on their primary objectives and business," said 451 Research Senior Analyst Jay Lyman. "This continuous deployment approach to infrastructure can accelerate release time and time-to-market for applications and features by reducing errors and test time and supporting DevOps processes."
"It's hard to find, recruit, and train DevOps talent, so our customers and prospects wanted us to provide the expertise they need to automate their own IT needs," said Jonathan Siegel, product director, Rackspace. "The DevOps Automation Service is comprised of the same tools and best-practices that enabled Rackspace to launch 18 new cloud products, push code into production more than 2,500 times, and run over 15,000 automated tests last year. These tools have had a significant and positive impact on our ability to execute and, through the service, we look to extend the same value to our customers."
Benefits of the new DevOps Automation Service include Enhanced Infrastructure Automation to synchronize development and staging environments with production environment using configuration management tools such as Chef; collect application performance metrics (APM) to view code impact changes with application monitoring tools such as New Relic, stats, Graphite, or Cloud Monitoring; build workflows to automate routine maintenance tasks using workflow automation tools such as Rundeck and Jenkins, aggregate logs from all devices to identify patterns and spot anomalies using log aggregation tools such as logstash; and manage caching needs with tools such as Memcache, Varnish, and more. Multi-server environments are now provisioned in minutes instead of the hours it previously took without automation tools.

CHOOSE the best part
At first Dave gave me the eyebrow-lift when I told him what it was and reminded me once again that a better phrase may be "be on time." But after I explained why I chose it he totally warmed up to it, so hear me out.
In case you're wondering what the heck I'm talking about, last year I started a new tradition for myself (inspired by my cousin Kara) to designate one word to be my motto for the year. Last year the word was "Be Still" (ok, so it was a phrase, not a word, but it still counts). And guess what? I wasn't "Still." I ran around like a crazy woman for a year BUT I always had that phrase in my mind, and it made a difference. As much as I was still scrambling to keep up, I was so thankful for the constant reminder in the back of my head to "Be Still." And in many ways, I was.
So this year I've been thinking so much about what I wanted my word to be. Man that's a lot of pressure I give myself!! I love FOCUS because I have so many things going in different directions and I realize I need to reel in my thoughts and actions and do what's most important. I love LISTEN because I feel I need to do that more...not only listen to my kids--the words that come out of their mouths as well as what their hearts are telling me--but also to the promptings of the Spirit. I've been ignoring them a bunch lately because there's too much going on. That leads me to SIMPLIFY...a great word for obvious reasons. Or there's always LOVE because who can't help but be a better person if they're loving more?
But none of those words seemed to fit right for this year.
Then I was reading this talk by Elder Oaks last week and it made the decision for my 2009 "word" easy as pie.
In it he says, "We have to forego some good things in order to CHOOSE others that are better or best because they develop faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strengthen our families."
I realized that I am lucky enough to have so many GOOD things in my life right now. I teach classes at Blissful Living Studio. I get to be a photographer. I work in the stake primary with great people. I just finished writing a book with my mom (more on that later). I write in this blog which is such a great outlet for me.
And boy oh boy do I ever have so many GOOD things I want to do in life.
I want to have my cake and eat it too.
I want to have my five kids and be the best mother I can be, but I also want to travel the world. I want to learn Spanish. I want to learn to sight-read on the piano. I want to take a serious photography workshop. I want to finally start my photography website.
All these things are good. But the very best thing in my life right now is my family. I love them all to pieces. And these kids are growing up faster than I ever even imagined possible. I don't want to look back some day and be sad that I chose the good things instead of the best things.
Plus right now I not only need to be the best mother I can, I need to somehow figure out how to morph into a health professional. I have realized that no single doctor is going to take care of our health issues. We're spread between too many of them. I have to be in charge. And I need to do it well.
The three older kids are doing well, but Claire wets her bed every night (I'm convinced it's those darn UTIs) and despite frequent baths she smells like urine all the time now (sorry, older version of Claire who may be reading this some day, but it's true). The urologist told me I need to essentially re-potty-train her because of her reflux issues. Her six-month antibiotic doesn't seem to be doing any good at all and her poor face keeps breaking out in cold sores. I tested positive for Lupus...twice. I totally don't think it's right, since I have no symptoms whatsoever, but I need to look into it a little. Lucy needs so much help right now which takes continual self reminders that I just need to slow down. Doctors and insurance are going to be a big part of my life for the next little while as we figure things out with her.
Yes, I have my work carved out for me in the health arena.
And that has to take precedence over all the other stuff in life right now.
Elder Oaks says further, "As we consider various choices, we should remember that it is not enough that something is good. Other choices are better, and still others are best."
So my 2009 word is CHOOSE. I need to choose the best part this year.
And after a ton of thinking and wondering and changing my mind I finally feel like one thing I need to choose to let go at least for this year is photography.
It's killing me and I've been so torn about it but something needs to go. I already told Blissful Living I could only teach once per quarter. I feel like I need to stick with the stake stuff. I thought about just quitting this blog but I can't. It's too big an outlet for me right now...and it's keeping track of life which I need since I have the most horrible memory on earth.
So, photography has to go...at least for now.
At first I thought if I gave up photography I was being wimpy. I should be able to do it all. Photography pushes my creative juices. It is hard. And because of that I love it. It gets me out of my rut. But I've realized that this year I have other things that'll definitely be getting me out of my rut...namely health issues.
If you have already booked appointments with me (I'm booked through April, I have a couple in the summer, and then already a couple in the Fall), I'm still planning on doing those ones. I'll finish out what I have scheduled. But I won't be booking any more appointments this year. My kids need me. My husband needs me. And I need them.
As my wise friend Julie said, I'll always have photography. I can pick it up again whenever I feel ready.
But I can't always have my little kids clinging on my legs. And right now that's exactly what I want. Snotty noses, grimy hands, tantrums, unfinished homework, even health issues...I want it all, because it means I am a mother. And I love being a mother.
Despite the busy-ness of life, I know my kids feel the love I have for them seeping into every conversation we have. (In fact, I think I may have even seen a slight eye-roll from one of them last time I was praising their name.) But I think it was Iris Krasnow who said, "I know I was there when my kids needed me, I just don't know that I was there as much as I needed them."
Now, I personally like to think that I can have my cake and eat it too. I can do all the good things I want to do in life. But I just can't do them all right now. I need to CHOOSE what I can really handle right now and do it really well. Then I can take on the rest later.
Life is long. (Wow...so is this post!)
Childhood is not.
I have a lot more choices to make this year, but I feel like I'm off to a good start.

Yay for you! I'm with you... I do think a single word can help us focus.ReplyDelete
And how lucky your family is that you choose them. Seriously. The wonder years are so fleeting. And I love how you embrace all of motherhood, even the yucky parts.
And "doing it all" is such a misconception... at least you know you're doing what's right for you and your family. THAT'S what I call a supermom!
I loved the post. So much describes my own life and I think what am I going to give up? I know it's probably hard to give up what you've worked so hard to develop and I admire you for having the strength to do so. You are an excellent woman to look up to.ReplyDelete
We look forward to seeing you guys soon- Wisconsin seems so far away!
Love you and our prayers are with you guys!
As odd as this may sound -- due to the fact that I haven't met you --- I'm sooo proud of you!!! I gave up a few very good things last year, including teaching piano -- and my kids are so much better for it. I really feel I'm better for it too. I always feel "wimpy" when I give something good up -- but we really can't do it all. GOOD JOB!!!! You've got a lucky family.ReplyDelete
It's all true- motherhood seems to fly by and if we're too busy we'll miss it and then regret it. I think your chose a great word for the year. About the bed wetting- have you tried an alarm? My daughter wet her whole life until she was 6.5 and we bought a Malem alarm off of ebay- it worked for her and I felt like it was a miracle. Good luck with the health things- that does not sound easy.ReplyDelete
This is a spectacular post. You are so insightful. I admire you for being so candid with your feelings and goals.ReplyDelete
Yay for Mamahood! :)
Thank you. What a great post as I have been thinking about the same sort of choices in my own life. Life does go by so fast. Thank you for your words of wisdom.ReplyDelete
Shawni, thank you so much for popping over to my blog and lending your advice to our sleep deprived family and letting me know about the map. Thank you again! I am using ear plugs and just ignoring her, hoping things will improve. I too love this talk by Elder Oaks, it pretty much sums up the choices we make as LDS women. So many of us have wonderful outlets and hobbies, but sometimes something has to give. I had a gal in my ward get so consumed with scrapbooking that she put all her stuff in a box and marked it "In ten years" because she wanted to focus more on her family. Your kids are sure lucky to have a mom like you...don't stop advocating for them in any arena and area that is necessary.ReplyDelete
What a strong, inspiring post. I haven't come to my word for this year....i'm leaning towards 'mindful'. mindful of the time with my little ones even when they are covered in unmentionables(!) or screaming like banshees!ReplyDelete
Thankyou for this today.
I hope you know we all feel like this, and have to step back and reprioritize.ReplyDelete
Love this! And I hope you get that medical stuff figured out...that weighs on the mind more than anything.
What a wonderful mother you are! When we make the choice to choose the "better part" we see miracles happen. I have 6 children. 2 of them have had many health and development problems. We decided to hunker down and do whatever we could for them. It has been so tiring, but after many priesthood blessings, prays, and alot of work and tears we have witnessed so many miracle come to our family and to our children. Good luck. Your family is so blessed to have a mom like you!ReplyDelete
Sounds like your 24 hours was a blessing in disguise. Such hard decisions. Its not always fun being the adult/parent.ReplyDelete
Way to go on your choices. Although I am deeply saddened that you won't be taking our pictures this year, I totally understand.
Let me know if you need anything. I know you are going through a lot. Thanks for inspiring me once again.
I don't even know you, Shawni but this post was what I needed to hear as I contemplate simplifying things in my own life. Why is it that we feel "whimpy" when we give up something? I think you're pretty amazing! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Our son wet the bed until he was 8! The bed wetting alarm was the trick to stopping it (even though I hated putting him through that!) The alarm only went off twice and he was cured!!! If you want to try it, I could send you the one we used (their not cheap!) Let me know.

My mom says "women can have it all just not in the same decade." I'm glad you're not giving up your delightful blog. :)ReplyDelete
Loved Ellen's Mom's comment. So true.ReplyDelete
And Shawni, I loved this post. You are an amazing mother and your kids are so lucky that you are willing to give up your temporary goals to give them an permanent blessing. In no time flat you will be doing all the things you mentioned, and more, but with no regrets.
You're awesome!
Each and every encounter I have with you either in person, on the phone, or through your blog, I come away uplifted. I love you, and you and your family will be in my prayers.ReplyDelete
k, I'm totally inspired! THANK YOU!ReplyDelete
Oh darn. But I'm happy for you, you made a wise choice. You're right, you won't have your cute little ones clinging to your legs forever. I'll just have to book a photo session with you 5-10 years from now when I'm getting old and gray.ReplyDelete

Shawni I was just having this conversation with my girlfriend at the gym the other day. She wants me to get certified to teach some classes with her and I told her I really want to do it but feel like I need to wait until Sienna goes to school. I will never get these days back and they go so dang fast. I just want to spend time with her (and my other kids) I don't want to be worrying about remembering routines, or stressing about teaching. So long story short I decided to wait. I think you are an AMAZING photograher and you will be in a few years when Lucy is in school too.ReplyDelete
Your a wonderful writer as well and I love reading your blog so I am so glad your not giving that up!
Thanks for that post. It so beautifully describes how I am feeling at this time in my life too. You don't know me but I read your blog often. I am a friend of Stacy Benintendi and found your blog through her. Anyway, I hope you don't mind that I pop in and read about your life. You inspire me and I just wanted to let you know that I'm glad you will keep on blogging because I truly enjoy reading it. Thanks so Much BethReplyDelete

i am proud and happy for you all at once.ReplyDelete
sometimes when i look at your blog all i see is perfection- and i appreciate that you took the time to share your challenges and goals to CHOOSE the best.
i think you are fabulous.
just for the record.
and i hope by giving up photography, it doesnt mean that you will stop shooting pics of your adorable family. those are musts.
i actually have been thinking about Elder Oaks talk a lot lately, too... its a great one.
thanks again :)
I just stumbled on your blog and I love it! Your one word really stuck with me, particularly the word LISTEN. I'm going to make that my word for the year. Thanks for the inspiration!ReplyDelete
Wow Shawni, you are truly an amazing mother. Thanks for saying you WANT the tantrums, grubby hands, etc. That brought better perspective to me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in your blog.ReplyDelete
This post totally made me cry. Thanks for writing it and inspiring us all to choose the better part a little bit more (I love that talk too.) Yeah for "choose"! Your family is so lucky to have a great, righteous mother and wife such as yourself! You're beautiful woman!ReplyDelete

I love that you posted about your "word." We do that too in our fam.. and my word chose itself this year. I thought of focus, and listen... but a little voice in the back of my head kept saying "grace" ... until I finally listened!ReplyDelete
Thanks for a great post, and such honesty. At the risk of sounding cheesy, you're such a great role model! Looking forward to hearing more about the book with your mom..
Shawni, it's been fun for me to sneak over to your blog every once in awhile (since meeting you at the Porters crazy white elephant Christmas party). I just have to say that you have such a way with words and I wish that I was more like that. Anyhow, I kind of went through the same thing as you did...trying to figure out the balance of what I wanted and needed from life. What I wanted was to be the best mom I could be...photography needed to come second, well...maybe more like third or fourth. It was the best decision I've made. No more missed soccer games, endless nights of editing, weekends where we wanted to escape to the cabin but couldn't because I had sessions scheduled. I keep telling myself that someday I'll start it up again....maybe I will and maybe I won't. We shall see! Thanks for sharing and being you!ReplyDelete
oh Shawni, I love you. Thanks for being so real and so in tune and so in love with motherhood. You have inspired me all my life. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Love the honesty. I remember when I started in MBA school that they told us there would be too much homework on purpose to force us to prioritize. I still think that is a crazy way to make people learn, but I've noticed that the Gospel makes us do it as well. There are always way too many "good" or "okay" things to do, and obviously Elder Oaks' talk was speaking to this dilemma. It's hard to give up creative outlets when you may feel that you already give so much of yourself that nothing feeds that part of you. But I guess God knows what he's doing, just like those crazy business profs. Love ya, Shawni!ReplyDelete
Man, I am one lucky mom to have such an amazing daughter!ReplyDelete
You have no idea who I am. I am blog surfing just to release stress and distract my mind. But I just want to say THANK YOU for posting this. My day has been filled with "Good" things. More than I can even really handle right now and I am breaking down. But those "good" things are totally distracting me from what I really should focus/care about at this time. This was an answer to my prayers. Thank you.
Good for you! I think having time to focus on your family is a good thing right now, a necessary thing.
It's true, you'll always have photography. It's freeing just to 'choose' to remove something off your plate.
I have that brownie pudding recipe for you if you'd like it. It turned out REALLY well, even better as breakfast the next day, I might add.
Choose to be in the moment with your kids - that's what I'm trying to do. So often I shuffle them around, scurrying to get things done while the 'big kids' are in school, letting my two little girls play by themselves. Often I realize I didn't really interact with them. I was so busy trying to get all my tasks done on my 'never ending' task list.
I've thought a lot about your comments on stepping back and taking care of your family.
We've had a big week at our house. We finally have some answers to problems with our little six year old that we have been trying to figure out for two years. Life will change for him and our family. I understand your thoughts on what I call 'circling the wagons' and focusing on building eternal relationships.
I'm happy to email you the recipe...firstname.lastname@example.com
Shawni, you bring strength and a voice to so many who feel the same way you do.
Thank you.
Loved to read your post Shawni, (along with many others)! I've been thinking about you non-stop for the last few days and keep wanting to call, but talking myself out of it because I don't want to call at a bad time. I am grateful for the updates with your health and the health of your kiddos. Know that I've been praying hard for you guys and miss you guys tons! I love your word for the year and I know your sacrifices will pay some major dividends! Love you...see you in March!ReplyDelete
I read a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson today. "Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it."ReplyDelete
You've done just that! No more doubts or fears. You are taking care of the work right before you (your family) Good for you!
Thanks so much for this post. It crystallized what *I* need to be doing right now. I need to become an academic expert and spend time working on finding a better fit for my kids' education. Your post put it in perspective, and reminded me that I'd better do it now, because next year I may be called upon to become a health professional. Thanks for doing the thinking for all of us (and thanks to Dave for the time to do it!).
Love you Shawn, can't wait till the PC reunion. I'll also be there when you get back from Hawaii. I'm tending for Paul while you are all gone. So excited!ReplyDelete
Shawni- thank you for being real! You are a real inspiration to me and many other moms out there!ReplyDelete
I hope that everything goes better for you and your family! I love you all and you are in my thoughts and prayers!
Shawni, tears are filling my heart and eyes as I thank the Lord for you, your wisdom, your goodness, your great insight. You are choosing well!ReplyDelete
this reminds me of when elder maxwell gave a talk at BYU and said, speaking to women, "You can have it all. You just can't have it all at the same time."ReplyDelete
i like your word and it's evident you want what is best for your family and yourself.
p.s. marie g. told me about your blog and i'm married to dave nilson.
wow... light bulb moment. as a photographer myself (in the midst of CRAZY season) editing as we speak, mother of 4, and busy with a stake calling I feel like I am running around like a mad woman. and your post has really struck me. i feel like you have just given me permission to let go of a some things:), now i just have to have the strength the do it.ReplyDelete
thank you.
This was such a wonderful post. Thank you for putting it into words for me. I have had to let go of my artwork recently - to homeschool my three youngest sons. I love it now, but cried for days in the beginning. I am going to pick a word for 2010. I like this idea. You sound like a wonderful person and an even better mom! You are an inspiration. Glad you didn't give up the blogging! Thanks.ReplyDelete
I know htis was written a while ago, but you peaked my interest with your mention of testing for lupus. Have you written about what came of that? Whether you foudn out what was going on? Could you point me in the direction of those posts if so? I have some unexplained health issues that have at times been attributed to Lupus but in the end it was determined that it's not Lupus- we just don't know what it is. So, I'm curious to hear about your situation.ReplyDelete
I hope these comments come into your inbox even on old posts.ReplyDelete
I just wanted to mention to you that one of my daughters had a serious bed wetting/day wetting problem like Claire's. We had to retrain her to use the bathroom by getting her an alarm watch when she was in kindergarten.
It worked, somewhat, but what finally did the trick was taking her off dairy. She miraculously stopped bed wetting 4 days after going off of it, and has re-wet if it builds up in her system again.
She doesn't test positive for a dairy allergy, so I took her to a naturopathic doctor & had her tested for food intolerances, and the dairy intolerance showed up there.
I'm so glad you didn't give up your blog! Through a particularly hard time, I found your blog through the I'm a Mormon site. Your words of wisdom inspired me to keep moving forward and trust in God. Since then I've read most of your blog, and it never ceases to be of help. Thank you for reaching out to strangers you've never met. I hope you know how huge of a difference you make :)ReplyDelete

VirtualBox is a virtual PC emulator like VMware. It is in constant development and new features are implemented all the time. e.g. version 2.2 introduced OpenGL 3D acceleration support for Linux and Solaris guests. It has a Qt GUI interface, as well as headless and SDL command line tools for managing and running virtual machines. It includes guest additions for some guest operating systems, which integrate functions of the guest and host systems, including sharing files, the clipboard, video acceleration and a "seamless" window integration mode.

Installation on host
The basic GPL-licensed VirtualBox suite can be installed with the virtualbox package, found in the official repositories.
The virtualbox-host-modules package, which contains the precompiled modules for the stock archlinux kernel, should be installed with it. If you are using the linux-lts kernel you should also install the virtualbox-host-modules-lts package. For custom kernels, read the section below.
In order to use the graphical interface, based on Qt (
VirtualBox command), you will also need to install the qt4 package. This is not required for the simpler SDL-only GUI (
VBoxSDL command) nor for the
VBoxHeadless command.
Hosts running a custom kernel
VirtualBox works just fine with custom kernels such as Linux-ck without the need to keep any of the official ARCH kernel packages on the system. The trick to keeping pacman from bringing down the ARCH kernel packages is to install virtualbox with the virtualbox-host-dkms package, which contains the source for the virtualbox kernel modules. See FS#26721 for further explanations.
Once virtualbox-host-dkms is installed, simply generate the kernel modules for your custom kernel by running:
# dkms install vboxhost/<virtualbox-host-source version> -k <your custom kernel's version>/<your architecture>
Which for the lazy is the command:
# dkms install vboxhost/$(pacman -Q virtualbox|awk {'print $2'}|sed 's/\-.\+//') -k $(uname -rm|sed 's/\ /\//')
and load it:
# modprobe vboxdrv
To load/compile virtualbox modules automatically at startup you can enable
# systemctl enable dkms.service
Automatic re-compilation of the virtualbox host modules with every update of any kernel
This is possible thanks to vboxhost-hookAUR from the AUR. In vboxhost-hook, the 'automatic re-compilation' functionality is done by a vboxhost hook on mkinitcpio after forcing to update the linux-headers package. You will need to add 'vboxhost' to the HOOKS array in
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf, as well as 'linux-headers' and your custom kernel(s) headers to the SyncFirst array in
/etc/pacman.conf for this to work.
$ pacman -Sy linux-headers && pacman -Suinstead to manually cause linux-headers to be updated first. See This explanation.
The hook will call the dkms command to update the virtualbox host modules for the version of your new kernel.
Add the desired username to the vboxusers group. Everything may work fine without this step but shared folders and possibly some other optional stuff require it to work. The new group does not automatically apply to existing sessions; the user has to log in again or start a new environment with a command like
newgrp or
sudo -u username -s.
# gpasswd -a username vboxusers
Loading Kernel Modules
VirtualBox running on Linux uses its own kernel modules, including a mandatory module named vboxdrv, which must be loaded before virtual machines can run. It can be automatically loaded when Arch Linux starts up, or it can be loaded manually when necessary.
To load the module manually:
# modprobe vboxdrv
To load the VirtualBox driver at startup, create a
*.conf file (e.g.
virtualbox.conf) in
/etc/modules-load.d that contains all modules that should be loaded:
depmod -a.
To start the VirtualBox graphical manager:
$ VirtualBox
To ensure full functionality of bridged networking, ensure that the
vboxnetflt and
vboxpci kernel modules are loaded.
Guest additions disc
The virtualbox package also suggests installing virtualbox-guest-iso on the host (Arch Linux) running VirtualBox. It is a disc image that can be used to install the guest additions onto guest systems. Make it available to the (running) guest by going to Devices and clicking "Install Guest Additions... Host+D". Then run the guest additions installation from inside the guest.
Booting a live disc
Click the 'New' button to create a new virtual environment. Name it appropriately and select Operating System type and version. Select base memory size (note: most operating systems will need at least 512 MB to function properly). Create a new hard disk image (a hard disk image is a file that will contain the operating system's filesystem and files).
When the new image has been created, click 'Settings', then CD/DVD-ROM, check 'Mount CD/DVD Drive' then select an ISO image.
Starting virtual machines with a service
See Systemd/Services#VirtualBox virtual machines for details on how to setup a systemd service for each virtual machine.
Advanced setup
See VirtualBox Extras for advanced configuration.
Arch Linux guests
Installing Arch under VirtualBox is straightforward, and additions should be installed through pacman (not through "Install Guest Additions" in VirtualBox, or from a mounted ISO image).
Install the Guest Additions
Install the virtualbox-guest-utils package. Manually load the modules with:
# modprobe -a vboxguest vboxsf vboxvideo
Create a
*.conf file (e.g.
virtualbox.conf) in
/etc/modules-load.d/ with these lines:
vboxguest vboxsf vboxvideo
Automatic re-compilation of the virtualbox guest modules with every update of any kernel
This is possible thanks to vboxguest-hookAUR from the AUR. In vboxguest-hook, the 'automatic re-compilation' functionality is done by a vboxguest hook on mkinitcpio after forcing to update the linux-headers package. You will need to add
vboxguest to the HOOKS array in
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf, as well as 'linux-headers' and your custom kernel(s) headers to the SyncFirst array in /etc/pacman.conf for this to work.
The hook will call the dkms command to update the VirtualBox guest modules for the version of your new kernel.
Start the sharing services
After installing virtualbox-guest-utils above, you should start
VBoxClient-all to start services for sharing the clipboard, resizing the screen, etc.
- If you are running something that launches
/etc/xdg/autostart/vboxclient.desktop, such as GNOME or KDE, then nothing needs to be done.
- If you use
.xinitrcto launch things instead, you must add the following to your
.xinitrcbefore launching your WM.
# VBoxClient-all &
Using USB webcam / microphone
- Make sure the virtual machine is not running and your webcam / microphone is not being used.
- Bring up the main VirtualBox window and go to settings for Arch machine. Go to USB section.
- Make sure "Enable USB Controller" is selected. Also make sure that "Enable USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller" is selected too.
- Click the "Add filter from device" button (the cable with the '+' icon).
- Select your USB webcam/microphone device from the list.
- Now click OK and start your VM.
Using Arch under Virtualbox EFI mode
My experience with this configuration was pretty terrible, but it does work.
UPD. Using efibootmgr has the same effect as using VirtualBox boot menu (see the note below): settings disappear after VM shutdown. First,
efibootmgr does *not* work. It will appear to work, but all changes it makes appear to be overwritten on reboot. After performing a standard UEFI/GPT installation, reboot and you should get dumped to the EFI shell. Type exit and you will get a menu. Select the Boot Management Manager, Boot Options, Add Boot Option. Use the file browser to find the grub efi file and select it. Add a label if you want. Afterwards, select Change Boot Order from the menu, use arrow keys to select your Arch option, and + to move it up to the top. GRUB should boot by default now.
Other options are: 1) move your loader to \EFI\boot\bootx64.efi, 2) create \startup.nsh script, which executes desirable loader, like this:
Here I'm using consistent mapping name (HD16a0a1). It's probably a good idea, because they do survive configuration changes.
exit. Obviously, this will only work with
grub-efi, not
Regenerating the
grub.cfg file may also be required to fix broken UUIDs. Check with the
lsblk -f command that they match.
Shared folders are managed via the VirtualBox program on the host. They may be added, auto-mounted and made read-only from there. Creating a shared folder from the VirtualBox program in the host locates that folder in
/media/sf_SHAREDFOLDERNAME. At this time an additional step is needed to have that folder created in the Arch Guest because Arch use a package for Guest Additions. To create and access this shared folder from the Arch Guest, this must also be done at the command line after installing the Guest Additions package(s) from pacman:
# groupadd vboxsf # gpasswd -a $USER vboxsf
If you wish, a symbolic link may be made to another folder in your home directory for easy access. As an example, if a shared folder named "Dropbox" was created in the VirtualBox program on the host machine, then /media/sf_Dropbox is automatically created in the guest so this could be done:
$ ln -s /media/sf_Dropbox/* ~/dropbox
The .run script provided in the Guest Additions iso does this for you, however, Arch does not recommend using that script so this step must be done manually. The instructions for it were found here: (pastebin: [1]) .
If shared folders are not auto-mounted, try manually mount or read the next section.
To prevent startup problems when you're using systemd, you should add
comment=systemd.automount to your
/etc/fstab. This way, they are mounted only when you access those mountpoints and not during startup. Otherwise your system might become unusable after a kernel upgrade (if you install your guest additions manually).
desktop /media/desktop vboxsf uid=user,gid=group,rw,dmode=700,fmode=600,comment=systemd.automount 0 0
Don't waste your time to test the
nofail option.
mount.vboxsf is not able to handle this (2012-08-20).
desktop /media/desktop vboxsf uid=user,gid=group,rw,dmode=700,fmode=600,nofail 0 0
Synchronise guest date with host
To keep sync date and time, make sure you have virtualbox-guest-utils installed in your host (see previous section). Then run
# systemctl enable vboxservice.service
To enable the service for next boot. To start immediately, run
# systemctl start vboxservice.service
You also need run this daemon in order to use auto-mounting feature of shared folders that are mentioned above.
VBOX_E_INVALID_OBJECT_STATE (0x80BB0007)
This can occur if a VM is exited ungracefully. The solution to unlock the VM is trivial:
VBoxManage controlvm nArch poweroff
USB subsystem is not working on the host or guest
Sometimes the USB subsystem is not auto-detected resulting in an error or in a not visible USB drive on the host, even when the user is in the vboxusers group. See this topic [2] for details.
USB subsystem will work if you add
~/.bashrc and reboot your system or open a new bash instance.
Failed to create the host-only network interface
To be able to create a Host-Only Network Adapter or a Bridged Network Adapter the kernel modules
vboxnetadp and
vboxnetflt need to be loaded. It's possible to load these kernel modules manually with
# modprobe -a vboxnetadp vboxnetflt
To load them automatically at boot, add a new line for each module to
vboxdrv vboxnetadp vboxnetflt
MODULES array in
/etc/rc.conf. This is now deprecated.
More information in this topic.
WinXP: Bit-depth cannot be greater than 16
If you are running at 16-bit color depth, then the icons may appear fuzzy/choppy. However, upon attempting to change the color depth to a higher level, the system may restrict you to a lower resolution or simply not enable you to change the depth at all. To fix this, run
regedit add the following key to the Virtual Windows XP registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services] "ColorDepth"=dword:00000004
Then update the color depth in the desktop properties window. If nothing happens, force the screen to redraw through some method (i.e. Template:Keypress to redraw/enter full screen).
Mounting .vdi Images
This just work with static size vdi images! Dynamic size won't be easy mountable! First we need one information from your .vdi image:
$ VBoxManage internalcommands dumphdinfo Arch_64min.vdi |grep offData Header: offBlocks=4096 offData=69632
Now, add to your
offData 32256. e.g. 32256 + 69632 = 101888
Now you can mount your vdi image:
# mount -t ext4 -o rw,noatime,noexec,loop,offset=101888 Arch_64min.vdi /mnt/
Startup problems because of mount failures
If you experience problems in a systemd setup after a kernel upgrade, you should start the system with
init=/bin/bash (if the emergency shell does not work for you).
root=/dev/mapper/vg_main-lv_root ro vga=792 resume=/dev/mapper/vg_main-lv_swap init=/bin/bash
Then mount the root-filesystem with write access:
# mount / -o remount,rw
/etc/fstab according to #Shared Folders as Arch Linux Guest. Then exec systemd within the Bash shell:
# exec /bin/systemd
Copy&Paste not working on Arch Linux Guest
Since updating
virtualbox-guest-additions to version
4.2.0-2 copy&paste from Host OS to Arch Linux Guest stopped working. It seems to be due to
VBoxClient-all requiring root access. In previous versions adding VBoxClient-all & to ~/.xinitrc was sufficient to make copy&paste work. Update ~/.xinitrc to match
sudo VBoxClient-all & and add the line
, NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/VBoxClient-all to your username in the sudoers file and restart X. It should all work again. The line in the sudoers file should look similar to this:
# Allow sudo for user 'you' and let him run VBoxClient-all without requiring a password you ALL = PASSWD: ALL, NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/VBoxClient-all
visudo to edit the sudoers file. This will check for syntax errors when saving.
Use Serial port in guest OS
Check you permission in Serial port
$ /bin/ls -l /dev/ttyS* crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 64 Feb 3 09:12 /dev/ttyS0 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 65 Feb 3 09:12 /dev/ttyS1 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 66 Feb 3 09:12 /dev/ttyS2 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 67 Feb 3 09:12 /dev/ttyS3
Add you user in uucp group.
# gpasswd -a YOURUSER uucp
and relogon.
Abort on resume
There is a known bug that causes abort on resume: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/11289. The workaround is simple: always use Host+q or the menu to close the VM.

Soasta has announced TouchTest Lite as a free version of its mobile app functional testing software. Hosted in a fully formed and fully free version, this product features "precision capture and playback" of all gestures on touch-based mobile devices.
So this offering aims to provide continuous testing for native, hybrid, and mobile web apps with a team collaboration element too.
"In a market with different operating systems, and multiple form factors, it is imperative for development organizations to automate the testing of their mobile applications to ensure their users have a great experience every time," said Tom Lounibos, Soasta CEO.
The new release of TouchTest has been integrated with HP Quality Center and a group of related IBM technologies.
"The new integration allows testers using HP Quality Center to run TouchTest mobile automation as part of their established enterprise test management process," said Lounibos.
Additionally, Soasta now integrates with IBM's Anthill Pro and Altassian's Bamboo — it expands on existing Jenkins plugins to include 100% hands-free mobile device testing to these commercial and open source continuous integration approaches.
Unlike traditional testing solutions that rely on manual testing, device emulators, or fragile external object recognition, TouchTest utilizes Soasta's in-app approach to mobile app test automation that captures and plays back all actions and gestures with correct motion and velocity on real devices.
Other new features in this release include reusable test components and unique identifiers, or locaters, which are stored for every user interface element to use later for resilient, maintainable test cases. An enhanced validation setting interface makes choosing and setting validations, the most critical parts of functional testing, faster.

Goodguys Hits Up Columbus Ohio for their 16th year.
Friday Coverage /// Opening Day at Goodguys 16th PPG Nationals
We're in Columbus, Ohio this year for the Goodguys 16th PPG Nationals going on this weekend from July 12-14, 2013. The weekend is already off to a great start at the Columbus, Ohio Expo Center. We're looking at a high of just under 80 degrees and slightly higher temps tomorrow and Sunday. Folks have already begun to make their way throughout the Expo center. Goodguys is predicting in excess of 6,000 cars to make their way through the grounds and as much as 80,000 plus in crowds.
We spoke with Communications Director for Goodguys, John Drummond who told us, "With no rain in the forecasts and clear weather predicted, that initial 80,000 may even draw more!" Of course, Goodguys is well known for producing some of the greatest car shows on Earth and you can expect to see everything from Rods, Customs and classics here in Columbus, Ohio.
We've already made our way through the show fields and have our eyes on some great builds, vehicles and products coming.Of course, we'll be sure to send them your way as the weekend progresses. We'll be covering everything from the vehicles competing for the Goodguys 2013 Optima Batteris Street Machine, Street Rod of The Year Award, Rod & Custom Fab Five, and Street Rodder's Finest Five award.
Were also on hand to cover the COMP Cams Entine Builders Duel competition. COMP Cams is providing two engines for the COMP Cams Engine Builders Duel competition, which went off today at 3pm (eastern standard time).
COMP Cams Engine Builders Duel
Before we showcase the winners, today's competition was a unique face off between Teams, "F.A.S.T." and "COMP." Team F.A.S.T. was made up of Associate Editor Kev Elliot from Rod & Custom Magazine and Ryan Manson, Editor of Custom Classic Trucks Magazine. Team COMP was comprised of Associate Editor's Stephen Rupp from Camaro Performers Magazine and Jake Amatisto of Chevy High Performance Magazine.
Each team went head to head each putting together a partially assembled small-block Chevy which only included a properly thrusted crankshaft and main caps. The rest of the components were to be installed by each team. Each engine is identical from carb to pan. Once completed, each engine must be properly timed and fired up and remain running for a 60 seconds.
With both teams squared off, the time started and each began slamming the pistons and rods into each cylinder. From there, it was only a matter of plugging the slugs, adding the hardware and torquing it all down. As the time ticked by, it was pretty clear, Team F.A.S.T. had the upper hand with both cylinder heads installed before Team COMP could dial in and install their timing gear and chain. That jump on the lead led Team F.A.S.T.to end up winning the COMP Cams Engine Build Duel. In the end, Team F.A.S.T.had assembled and had their engine running a full 15 minutes before Team COMP. Total time for Team F.A.S.T.came in at just over 48 minutes for the win.
Goodguys 2013 Optima Batteries Street Machine of the Year
In the meantime, competitors for Goodguys 2013 Optima Batteris Street Machine of the Year just finished their round of autocross action. If you aren't aware, the Street Machine of the Year contenders must complete two laps on the autocross course. So far, the top time went to Clayton Graham of Baker Montana.

Infragistics is a company that likes to keep reinventing itself. It used to talk primarily about its presentation layer framework and today denotes itself as an enterprise "mobility empowerment" company, whatever that marketing-driven spin is supposed to mean.
What the company may perhaps be eluding to is its business intelligence and collaboration software products, ReportPlus and SharePlus — both of which are now combined into the firm's new Infragistics Enterprise Mobility Suite.
The Enterprise Mobility Suite allows users to annotate as they "collaborate and share" (if sharing is in fact different from collaboration) on documents and enterprise data without needing technical expertise or heavy IT processes.
Users can access and create dashboards for social data, CRM, analytics, enterprise databases, and cloud storage solutions like Salesforce, Twitter, Dropbox, OLAP, SQL, SharePoint and Google Analytics.
The firm's Dave Mendlen says ReportPlus helps users shift from data to insights while mobile by making it simple to create mobile business intelligence dashboards that are visually compelling.
"Users can find the information they need in SQL Server, Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, or virtually any other data source and connect the data to insights behind the numbers. For example, they can view sales trends by time frames or geographic regions," he said.
Both solutions are available in iOS and Android versions and provide the consumer-like experience that enterprise employees have come to expect.
The other member of the suite, SharePlus — the universal mobile interface for SharePoint and mobile client for Office 365 — simplifies and enriches mobile collaboration. It enables users to sync SharePoint and all documents, providing access to all files via iPhones, iPads and Android devices even when connectivity isn't available. They can securely share data insights with their teams with SharePoint support.

BAO is an acronym that has been appearing more and more in TSA related news stories and blog posts. So what does BAO stand for?
a) Branch Artery Occlusion
b) Best Atomic Orbital
c) Best Available Option
d) Bomb Appraisal Officer
While "c" is the best available option, if you chose "d" you are correct. A Bomb Appraisal Officer is another TSA position that you may or may not have heard of. Some of you may have even been fortunate enough to meet a BAO after your bag triggered the suspicion of one of our officers.
What does a BAO do and what experience must one have to become a BAO? To answer these questions and more, Richard, a BAO at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, (CVG) stepped out of the shadows to shed some light on his critical position.
Blogger Bob: So what is a BAO? Tell our readers a little about the day in the life of a BAO.
BAO Richard: BAO is an acronym for Bomb Appraisal Officer. All BAOS serve three primary roles.
1. Workforce Training. This is where we are expected to focus the majority of our efforts. BAOs are charged with finding effective ways to share their expertise and years of real-world experience with the workforce. We build simulated explosive devices and run them through the screening process to show the workforce what the terrorists are doing and what they are capable of. This is challenging in that no two airports or groups of TSOs are exactly the same. It is incumbent on the BAOs to find effective way to do this, regardless of the challenges.
2. Conduct Advanced Alarm Resolution (AAR). When the conventional alarm resolution process has been exhausted and the alarm has not been resolved, the BAO is to be called. At his point, the BAO is responsible for resolving the alarm, with zero margin for error.
3. Serve as the TSA subject matter expert liaison for law enforcement and bomb squad partners. BAOs speak both TSA and bomb squad languages. This is important during a critical response event. In addition, it is not uncommon for law enforcement and bombs squads to request technical assistance and advice from BAOs for incidents at the airport as well as those unrelated to airport operations.
Blogger Bob: Tell our readers a little about your experience prior to the TSA.
BAO Richard: My personal experience came from 21 years in the US Army with 19 of those years as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technician. I then spent 5 years as a contractor/instructor for the US Department of State Anti-Terrorism Assistance Program (ATAP) training and certifying Bomb Technicians for allied countries around the world. Essentially, I have been doing bomb disposal response or training for the last 29 years.
Blogger Bob: Do other Bomb Appraisal Officers share a similar background as yours? What kind of experience do you need to have under your belt to become a BAO?
BAO Richard: Typically all BAOs have a very similar background. We're "Bomb Guys". Either as a military EOD Technician or as an FBI certified Public Safety Hazardous Devices Technician. TSA has established as a minimum requirement that all BAO candidates have been a Certified Bomb Technician from either of these two programs and served a minimum of 3 years as a technician in a Bomb Disposal Unit. All BAOs are interviewed, tested and hired based upon their experience, background and understanding of the terrorist threat. Nationally, if you add it up and divide by our numbers you are looking at an average of 17.5 yrs experience, per BAO across the board. That is an incredible amount of expertise at TSA's fingertips.
Blogger Bob: Before BAOs, how did TSA handle situations with possible explosives? How have things changed since Bomb Appraisal Officers came on board?
BAO Richard: In the old days (2 years ago) the only safe procedure was for the TSOs to contact the local Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs), evacuate the terminal and wait until a Bomb Squad arrived and cleared the item. These evacuations cost the aviation industry millions of dollars annually. More importantly, the increased security risks inherent in evacuations are significant. The presence of BAOs available to TSOs prevents unnecessary evacuations and minimizes disruptions in service and risks to all. Adding BAOs to the resolution process allows a Bomb Technician trained individual the opportunity to look at the item, look at the X-Rays and make a "more knowledgeable" determination of whether the item is dangerous and whether the terminal should be evacuated or not. Since implementation of the BAO Program, BAOs working with the TSOs have responded to and safely resolved thousands of alarms at their airports over the past two years.
Blogger Bob: Have you ever had any experiences at the TSA where you thought you had a bomb on your hands?
BAO Richard: Thinking I actually had a bomb? No, but when BAOs respond, we all approach with the understanding that if the TSO has called us for assistance, then we assume a viable threat until we determine it is not. Safety first, then a methodical process for checking and determining whether a hazard is there. Understand though that if we still cannot make a positive determination the item is not a bomb, then passengers are evacuated and the Bomb Squad is notified.
Blogger Bob: With all of the shared experience of Bomb Appraisal Officers, it makes sense that they train Transportation Security Officers and share their knowledge. Can you touch more on the training side of your job?
BAO Richard: Training TSOs IS the BAO mission. Here at CVG our BAOs are on the floor, providing training approximately 6 hours of their 8 hour day. Each day, each BAO is required to build a new training device and use that device to provide a "new learning point" to the TSOs, and we provide 24-hr a day support. Our goal is to keep TSOs current on the products, procedures and practices of the bad guys, so they can better identify it when it is presented to them. Currently ongoing as we speak every TSA employee at CVG is receiving a 6 hr block of classroom instruction and demonstration from the BAOs on explosives, IEDs and terrorist methodology.

Blogger Bob: Do BAOs go through any training even if they have extensive prior experience?
BAO Richard: Absolutely, all new BAOs are required to complete a 3 Phase training certification program. Phase-I all BAOs are required to complete Basic Screener Training (CP and CB). Phase-II is the BAO Certification and Instructor Presentation Skills Course. Since all BAOs will be spending most of their time conducting training, IPS certification is required. Then in Phase-III each new BAO is required to complete a minimum 40hr OJT course with a Senior BAO at an airport with an established and successful BAO-TSA Training program. Once all 3 phases are completed they are certified as operational BAOs.
Blogger Bob: To many travelers who don't understand the liquid threat, they feel that prohibiting items over 3.4 oz such as toothpaste and mouthwash is insane. The baggie baffles many a passenger. How would you defend the legitimacy of the 3-1-1 program if confronted by a curious passenger?
BAO Richard: The last two liquid explosives threats have originated in Europe and targeted U.S. flagged airlines. This type of threat is not new, but our enemies are persistent and totally committed. They learn from their mistakes and then make adjustments all the time to try and stay ahead of security. Explosives come in ever changing shapes and materials to include a caulk like explosive that looks and feels just like toothpaste or Sunscreen. If we added personal hygiene products such as toothpaste to the "must be sampled" list, the lines would back up forever. It is just simpler, easier, and more logical to restrict those things in the sizes already established to minimize the risks to passenger aircraft.
Blogger Bob: Do you have any frequently asked questions you'd like to answer?
BAO Richard: The most common question we get is based upon the word Appraisal in our title….. "So, what does a Bomb cost?" :) To TSA, it would cost a lot if it makes it on a plane, but seriously, All BAOs are trained and certified explosives security specialists and what we provide is an expert assessment of the item or material of concern based on the totality of circumstances. After doing so, we determine what the appropriate course of action should be. Our focus is, training every day, and safety all the time.
I have to add that the BAOs are not stand alone security assets. While much is made of BAO expertise, we rely on the expertise of the TSO workforce in order to do our job. We are all partners with a common goal and we add an additional expert resource to the TSA's many layers of security.
Blogger Bob: What does the future hold for the BAO program?
BAO Richard: The success of the program has driven an increasing need from the Federal Security Directors for more BAOs. Originally authorized to hire approximately 300 BAOs, TSA is now looking to add additional BAOs to expand the program significantly. Expansion provides the opportunity to train more people and nobody loves to talk about their job more than a "Bomb Guy".
Thanks to Rick for taking the time to answer my questions. He and the other BAOs in the field are an extremely critical part of TSA's mission and we are fortunate to be able to learn from all of their combined experience.

Altova has announced the commercial availability of MetaTeam, its online project collaboration environment. MetaTeam offers practical solutions to the organizational challenges high-performance teams face every day.
"While point solutions addressing the components of project failure exist, there was no single product that adequately solved these problems," says the company.
Attempting to manage teamwork through endless email chains, outdated spreadsheets, and other common but cumbersome project management tools, Altova set out to create a new kind of team collaboration solution.
MetaTeam claims to reduce conflict and add consistency to decision-making. The product integrates the three areas that are vital for boosting team performance: sophisticated project management, collaborative decision-making, and team performance management.
This tool has a streamlined interface that requires no installation or training so that users simply log in and start working. As a team's work grows in complexity they find MetaTeam's power grows with them.
MetaTeam works to try to improve individual team members' performance by clarifying their goals, identifying who can help them meet their responsibilities, illustrating how decisions will be made, clearly defining what terminology means, and where to write documentation and ask questions.
"Real-world studies show that lack of engagement, poor quality work, poor decision-making, and difficulty finding information kill teams. All of these problems can be avoided with better team organization," said David Kershaw, VP of cloud services at Altova. "MetaTeam is truly an eye opening new approach to collaboration that anyone can use to help their team be successful."
