Hey all. Is there any reason why X should be eating up ~600MB of memory?
|
Probably just general X weirdness, I have never encountered problems with X unless it's either buggy or misconfigured.

I am recieving the following message when I run apt-get upgrade: http://pastebin.com/2iFs9yeA - is there a reason for this?
|
Maybe some of packages you have are dependent on a specific kernel

is there a guide for setting up bridged networking using virt-manager? I have virt-install working already, but virt-manager won't let me use the bridge
|
that's probably the biggest advantage VirtualBox has over KVM right now - Bridge networking is just a click away in VBox -- and a big pain under KVM. I did it a couple years ago - don't remember the steps at all sorry
