Hello.

I'd like to ask if someone currently uses lpsched or mod_ipp on OI and 
why? The reason is that there's proposal to remove them from 
illumos-gate. So we either have to obsolete them or keep in separate 
repository (which is rather ugly).

As I just commented in the other thread, the only time I've used lpsched
was when I was transferring a lot (>100) of printers from another lpsched
system ... If someone could make a "convert" script from a printers.conf
file to a CUPS config I wouldn't even have used lpsched.

I still have that system available (running OI u8) if you want me to test,
but my guess is that this is a very rare case.

my "standard" KVM startup command:

MAC=$(dladm show-vnic -po macaddress kvm0)
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm \
        -enable-kvm \
        -vnc 0.0.0.0:1 \
        -smp 4 \
        -m 4096 \
        -no-hpet \
        -localtime \
        -boot order=c,menu=off \
        -drive file=/dev/zvol/rdsk/rpool/kvm/kvm/disk0,if=ide,index=0 \
        -net nic,vlan=0,name=net0,model=e1000,macaddr=$MAC \
        -net vnic,vlan=0,name=net0,ifname=kvm0,macaddr=$MAC \
        -vga std \
        -k en-gb \
        -usb -usbdevice tablet

My guess is that you want the last line "-usb -usbdevice tablet" ...

I had trouble with KVM when I upgraded from OIu3 until OIu6, but have never
had trouble upgrading on Hipster ... not that I now use Hipster for KVM
hosts (I use OIu8 and keep them disconnected from external networks)
