moving from mac to mac…

September 12th, 2007 by erik | Posted in blurt |

Today I moved everything on my macbook pro to another macbook pro
because I apparently jumped the gun and assumed that the notebook that
I signed for was the one ordered for me… luckily it wasn’t that big
of a deal.

I used the “transfer profile” and selected to transfer everything
possible… it took about 30 minutes and it came out clean, the
exception being that the launcher somehow lost links to certain apps.

I started fiddling around with my development environment and
VMWareFusion couldn’t run my ubuntu 7.04 virtual machne, giving me an
error of “failed to connect to peer process.” I re-ran the install
(luckily I kept the damage file), and everything was right and tight,
until I went to use SSHFS to mount the VM hard drive. SSHFS wasn’t
connecting so I had to reinstall the MacFUSE-Core package. *check*
That’s working now… until… I sudo -i on my new(er) macbook and try
to ssh to the VM… AH! it didn’t move over the ssh keys I’d generated
for root on this box. Thumbdrive to the rescue.

So far… so good, except for hitting the remote machines out there;
my IP address is different because the nic has a different mac address
and I won’t be able to hit any (all two) of them because of iptables
filters. I’ve got what I need here, so lets get back to coding some
python!

THAT IS ALL!
