QT5 on xUbuntu 12.04.2 LTS

The latest version of xVideoServiceThief (2.5) switched to using the QT5 library.

To get it to work, I needed to setup QT5 on a xUbuntu 12.04.2 LTS which I did by running the following commands:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties && \
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:canonical-qt5-edgers/qt5-proper && \
sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5webkit5 libqt5script5

Let me know in the comments if this helped you or if there were any issues.

Cloudstack 4.1 on Ubuntu Server

My objective was to setup a Cloudstack 4.1 management node which will also server an NFS server for both primary and secondary storage.

The series of commands below were run on an Ubuntu Server 12.04.2(precise) system. During installation of the operating system, only the OpenSSH server was enabled in the task selection screen. I also made sure to name the server with a fully qualified domain name i.e. cloudstack.henyo.com.

#setup cloudstack source

echo "deb http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/ubuntu precise 4.1" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudstack.list

#setup percona source

cat <<EOF >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/percona.list

deb http://repo.percona.com/apt precise main

deb-src http://repo.percona.com/apt precise main

EOF

#install the cloudstack apt-key

wget -O - http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/release.asc|apt-key add -

#install stuff
apt-get update && \
apt-get install -y --force-yes openntpd nfs-kernel-server cloudstack-management percona-server-server-5.5 percona-server-client-5.5

cat <<EOF >/etc/mysql/conf.d/cloudstack.cnf

[mysqld]

innodb_rollback_on_timeout=1

innodb_lock_wait_timeout=600

max_connections=350

log-bin=mysql-bin

binlog-format = 'ROW'

EOF

service mysql restart

#setup nfs

mkdir -p /export/primary /export/secondary /var/primary /var/secondary

cat <<EOF >>/etc/fstab

/var/primary    /export/primary   none    bind  0  0

/var/secondary  /export/secondary none    bind  0  0

EOF

mount --bind /var/primary/ /export/primary/

mount --bind /var/secondary/ /export/secondary/

echo "/export         *(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)" >> /etc/exports

exportfs -a

service nfs-kernel-server restart

#setup cloudstack database

cloudstack-setup-databases cloud:test@localhost --deploy-as=root:root

#setup management server

echo 'Defaults:cloud !requiretty' >> /etc/sudoers.d/cloudstack

cloudstack-setup-management

reboot
