Dustin Kirkland: Results fo the Ubuntu Virtualization Survey
A big thanks to everyone that participated in the Ubuntu Virtualization Survey. I am pleased to share the results with you now. http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/10/ubuntu-virtualization-poll-your.html
Results: http://rookery.canonical.com/%7Ekirkland/Virtualization_survey_2009_11_02.pdf
Answers: http://rookery.canonical.com/%7Ekirkland/Answers_Virtualization_Survey_2009-11-02.pdf
I will provide a few of my own observations, but we are very interested in your own conclusions!
- There were a total of 354 responses -- excellent feedback!
- Nearly 2/3 of all responders use virtualization on Ubuntu every day -- wow!
- Over 3/4 of responders have VT acceleration -- that's overwhelming, I think, and it supports our focus on KVM.
Still, there's 21% of responders who cannot use KVM. kqemu has been deprecated by upstream QEMU, so I think VirtualBox represents the best option at this point for non-accelerated virtualization.
36.7% of responders most use VirtualBox, 22.6% most use KVM. VirtualBox is in Universe and essentially unmaintained by Canonical (though some community individuals are doing an excellent job maintaining it!). I don't know what the business opportunity is around VirtualBox. But it is clear that it's popular among Ubuntu users. People really like the interface and the usability. And we could probably really improve the experience for a large number of Ubuntu virtualization users with some dedicated Canonical effort to clean up the VirtualBox bug backlog.
- My survey design was evidently flawed on Question #3, as a large number of people "wrote in" an "EC2" answer there. This is an interesting approach, as it diminishes the importances of having VT on the local system.
In terms of interfaces, virt-manager and virsh are both lagging behind kvm-from-the-command-line and VirtualBox. I don't know if this means that we should, or should not invest more in the libvirt-based tools. Is the lack of a good GUI for KVM hindering its adoption? I think this data says so...
- Finally, the overwhelming majority suggests that better documentation is simply required for Ubuntu virtualization. I wonder how we should approach solving this? Is this something that we as engineers should be able to just crank out ourselves? Or should we tap into the Ubuntu-Documentation-Team, and attempt to rally a virt-documentation blitz from some more skilled tech writers?
In summary, I think the most important observations are that:
- The overwhelming number of respondents have access to VT hardware.
VirtualBox is quite popular in the wild, despite a lack of Canonical investment.
- The lack of a better user-interface is hindering KVM's adoption.
- Better documentation is undoubtedly requested.

10 reasons Ubuntu 9.10 will be a game changer for business
Jack Wallen, writing for TechRepublic, feels that businesses will like Ubuntu 9.10, and lists 10 reasons for feeling that way.
- The new Software Center that includes commercial programs.
- Ubuntu One, with it's ability to synchronize between machines automatically
- Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud Images that are easily downloaded and installed.
- Quickly, which is a new framework for developers to accelerate the development process.
- Better Intel graphics support with the move from EXA to UXA acceleration method.
Faster and stronger AppArmor for additional security
- Blocking module loading to prevent kernel root kits from being installed
- Boot time, which is getting closer to the elusive 10-second boot time.
HAL deprecation in favor of DeviceKit-Power, DeviceKit-Devices and udev.
- Telepathy, the pluggable framework for real-time communication like chat, voice/video over IP and logging.
The full write-up on his reasons can be found at the link.

The Karmic Koala - Not Ubuntu's Vista
Ghabuntu (ghabuntu.com) defends the alegation that Ubuntu 9.10 is similar to the failure of Microsoft Vista. To this writer, Karmic Koala is a departure from previous releases due to the addition of new functionality, and new can mean bugs. But that new functionality is what people have been asking for. He/she recommends that one do a clean install to avoid some of the problems associated with upgrades from a previous release. You can find the article at the link.

Is Ubuntu Broken?
Erlik of Tech-no-Media says that there seems to be quite a few concerns and complains about recent Ubuntu releases. Are there really that many regressions and instabilities with the latest releases of Ubuntu? Probably! So is Ubuntu broken? Erlik says he doesn't think so, at least not more than most other Linux distributions. He feels that the problem is that we have two kinds of Linux desktops with their own problems. On one side you have the sedate LTS releases that are stable and ready for the average user, but may be incompatible with newer hardware and software. On the other side you have the bleeding edge interim releases with all the their problems and breakneck 6 month release cycles. Most problems arise when someone wanting a long term solution (a LTS) is forced to use an interim release instead because of hardware compatibility. In the end there is probably no perfect solution. http://www.tech-no-media.com/2009/11/is-ubuntu-broken.html
Installing Ubuntu 9.10
Softpedia's Marius Nestor states that Ubuntu 9.10, also known as the Karmic Koala, arrived exactly on October 29, 2009 and is the eleventh release of Ubuntu OS. He has created a tutorial to teach Linux newcomers how to install the Ubuntu 9.10 operating system on their personal computer. Therefore, it is addressed to people who have just heard about Ubuntu, those who have never installed Ubuntu before and want to test it, but don't know how. The tutorial will make things very simple for you, but if you get stuck somewhere in the middle of the installation and you need help, do not hesitate to use Softpedia's commenting system at the end of the article! http://news.softpedia.com/news/Installing-Ubuntu-9-10-126370.shtml
New Ubuntu OS Features Create Good Karma
Jack M. Germain, in an article for LinuxInsider, looks at Karmic Koala and overall likes what he sees. Though he had some problems with the Ubuntu Netbook Remix on a netbook, still he felt that the improvements included in the release were worth it. Among the things he liked were the inclusion of Firefox 3.5 and OpenOffice.org 3.1. Most significant to him was the Software Center application.

Two Simple Suggestions for Ubuntu
Christopher Smart of Linux Magazine notes that his last (admittedly strongly worded) article ("Hey Ubuntu, Stop Making Linux Look Bad", http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7600/1.html) appears to have touched quite a nerve out there in the community. Perhaps some readers jumped the gun when they saw the title and didn’t read the whole article, or perhaps he didn’t make his point clear. Either way, Smart has decided to clarify his perspective a little, because he actually does care about Linux.

Ubuntu chief responds to sexism allegations
"If there are women in this forum who are here because they want to participate in a vibrant and positive free software project, then I welcome you all to participate in Ubuntu. I’m confident that, like (Ubuntu community member) Mackenzie (Morgan), you’ll be able to find innumerable ways to exercise your talents and socialize (sic) with like-minded individuals." Mark Shuttleworth.
Sam Varghese writing for iTWire takes a long look at the allegations of sexism and those that made the allegations. The question asked of Mark was "how important is having a diverse group of contributors (women & minority folks) to solving Bug #1?". Mark's answer, "not especially, but it makes the project more interesting." was interpreted as being sexist, and led to the allegations posted on the web.

Computerbank installs Ubuntu on recycled PCs
Georgina Swan of ComputerWorld notes that the not-for-profit organization, Computerbank Victoria, is installing Ubuntu 9.04 on refurbished computers for people with a government healthcare card and Australian students. Prices start at $30 and recipients have to sign an acknowledgement that they are receiving a Linux-based system. But Computerbank is nice enough to install media codecs and flash, and do other customizing to make it easier for new and non-technical computer users to get up and running right away.

Canonical and Creative Commons Meet Donations Target
Jono Bacon posted on his blog that Melissa from the Creative Commons pointed him to the rather good news that Canonical’s offer to match Creative Commons donations up to $3000 has already been matched. "Just five days ago we announced that Canonical would be generously matching every donation dollar for dollar for the next week – up to $3,000. Well, we met that goal in record time! Thanks to everyone who donated in the past five days and had your donation doubled – for a total of $6,000 going toward our annual campaign to sustain CC! Many thanks to Canonical for their ongoing support of free culture and Creative Commons. We still have a long way to go to reach our $500,000 goal for this year’s campaign, so please donate today and show your support for a culture of sharing!" Thanks to everyone who donated, and if you haven’t donated yet, go and contribute! http://www.jonobacon.org/2009/11/09/canonical-and-creative-commons-meet-donations-target/
