Interesting day, flying from Montreal, Quebec to Dallas, Texas for the Ubuntu Developer Summit.
I have been able to try American Airlines’ in-flight wireless, it works surprisingly well, I get a stable 80ms latency to my home server and a quick bandwidth test gives me some 100kB/s.
On a completely different topic but still somewhat related, on that same flight, I have been able to install the latest libvirt packages I uploaded this morning to my PPA.
It’s the first time I actually manage to get networking to work with LXC in libvirt using libvirt’s network configuration.
I’ll be trying to convert some of the UDS attendees so they try it out and help making it work just fine in Lucid. Having that and kvm supported by libvirt will make Ubuntu a rocking platform for virtualization/contextualization.
Quick quote from my first test (starting the container, entering it, setting up network with DHCP, pinging my home server):
