Today, I had to move my storage pool in Qemu to some other partition due to low disk space on my root partition. I decided to move it to a directory in my /home partition (I'm used to allocating most of my disk space to the /home partition). First of all, we need to stop libvirtd. /sbin/service libvirtd stop Next, we should move the storage pool to the new location. By default the storage pool is located at /var/lib/libvirt/images . I choose to move it to the directory /home/ausmarton/vm . mv /var/lib/libvirt/images /home/ausmarton/vm Any storage pool that is configured, has an xml file created for itself in /etc/libvirt/storage . So, in our case, we just need to edit the file /etc/libvirt/storage/default.xml . Here, we need to edit the path element which comes under the target element. <path>/var/lib/libvirt/images</path> Now that line should look something like this: <path>/home/ausmarton/vm</path> I would like to point out that /etc/libvirt/storage/ a...

I just installed Fedora 17 on my laptop. After doing that I noticed that I was not about to click and drag stuff. Experimenting with it a little more, I figured that "dragging" would work only if I hold the first click for a few seconds, i.e: if I want to drag something around, I had to click and wait for the click to register and then I could drag. This was a pain since you cannot select text, navigate maps (Google Maps), resize or move windows etc. The solution was a pretty trivial one though. After a bit of looking around, I came across the mouse and touchpad configuration tool in Gnome. There is a slider for configuring the threshold of the drag and drop. Larger threshold would mean you need to hold the initial click for a shorter duration while smaller threshold would lead to a more prominent drag lag/delay. An important thing to note would be that this won't work until you restart the X server. So, either log out and log in or restart your system.
