| mark1234567_ | hello. does anybody know how to enable console access for a vm, runnign qemu as a hypervisor, kvm as the vm manager, and ubuntu 8.04 as the os? | 22:19 |
| pleia2 | just realized I've done that a zillion times in debian (sysvinit && inittab) but never in Ubuntu (upstart with /etc/init/ files) | 22:23 |
| pleia2 | you need a file in /etc/init/ that will spawn "/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100" or similar | 22:24 |
| mark1234567_ | every time i attempt to mod the xml file for the vm to contain a console or serial term the config those devices get dropped when i start the vim in virsh | 22:26 |
| pleia2 | mark1234567_: did you virsh define /path/to/filename.xml | 22:27 |
| mark1234567_ | i have attempted to yes | 22:27 |
| mark1234567_ | unless there is some other form of defining a console within virish itself like if you were in the sql server but i have not found anythig like that | 22:28 |
| pleia2 | the define command should make virsh pick up the changes in the config file | 22:28 |
| pleia2 | you do need to shut the vm completely down and then start it back up though (not a reboot) | 22:29 |
| mark1234567_ | yep | 22:29 |
| mark1234567_ | i go so far as to undefine the .xml then copy it back over with the console defined and it still drops that poriton of the definition when i fire up the vm, i.e. define then start vm | 22:30 |
| mark1234567_ | and yes chmod and chown are run before i do that | 22:30 |
| pleia2 | is the syntax correct? I've seen it kick out bad configuration before | 22:30 |
| mark1234567_ | <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </console> | 22:31 |
| mark1234567_ | that didn't work | 22:31 |
| mark1234567_ | <serial type='pty'> | 22:31 |
| mark1234567_ | <target port='0'/> | 22:31 |
| mark1234567_ | </serial> | 22:31 |
| pleia2 | I don't recall having to do anything like that, it seemed to be included as long as I enabled things in inittab (or /etc/init/filename in ubuntu) | 22:31 |
| mark1234567_ | i tried without it ie after i dropped it setting up the config file /etc/init/ttyS0.conf and it said "start: Unknown job: ./ttyS0.conf" | 22:34 |
| mark1234567_ | without the consle def is what i mean | 22:35 |
| mark1234567_ | nope still says the same thing. | 22:50 |
| mark1234567_ | start on stopped rc or RUNLEVEL=[2345] | 22:51 |
| mark1234567_ | stop on runlevel [!2345] | 22:51 |
| mark1234567_ | respawn | 22:51 |
| mark1234567_ | exec /sbin/getty -L 115200 ttyS0 vt102 | 22:52 |
| mark1234567_ | those are the 4 uncommented lines from ttyS0 | 22:52 |
| mark1234567_ | any other advice? | 23:06 |
| pleia2 | unfortunately not, I've only really done this on debian where it "just worked" | 23:08 |
| mark1234567_ | that might be important to init is init.d as it is 8.04 which is hardy, Edgy/Feisty/Jaunty had upstart, and Karmic is like that but it a couple iterations later | 23:09 |
| mark1234567_ | well thank you anyway | 23:09 |
| pleia2 | good luck :) | 23:10 |
| mark1234567_ | thanks | 23:16 |
