I’ve recently sufficiently mastered rsync to use it everywhere, constantly.
ESXi doesn’t have rsync bundled, cause you know, when 16GB flash drives cost $8, you need to keep your hypervisor footprint down to a few MB? I dunno.
Anyway, here’s where to download a build of rsync that’ll work on there: http://damiendebin.net/blog/2013/12/06/esxi-5-dot-1-and-rsync/
I just SCPed the file over in to my /opt/ and then symlinked it in to my path.
Hello World!
While, yesterday was Ubuntu 9.04 day! With the latest official release of Ubuntu Linux, I decided to put one foot in the water and give upgrading my mac pro from 8.10 a whirl. The process went fairly perfectly with one major flaw. Upon rebooting my upgraded system, my video driver for xorg was no longer functioning properly. The solution was to remotely login through ssh, download & install the latest driver (from here) and then reboot again. After that I was greeted with the beautiful new Ubuntu 9.04 login screen and the upgrade was nearly..
I did go on to find that flash wasn’t working for me properly anymore. I found an interesting post that offered some good suggestions here. Though I found following the preferred suggestion didn’t exactly work out for me. All I did was remove the nonfree flash package and then reinstalled the “flashplugin-installer” package.
I posted pretty much the same comments as above regarding the video issue, with a little more detail on the Ubuntu Forum.
My flash experience is reposted here, but whatever, cause I just said it all over again in this post.
