[15:26] <iheartubuntu> Good morning all! is anyone going to their local Oktoberfests this year? The one in Big Bear, CA (socal) is a lot of fun.
[16:04] <Darkwing> Hey guys :)
[16:06] <pleia2> morning iheartubuntu and Darkwing
[16:06]  * Darkwing waves cheerfully
[16:08] <pleia2> how's not-california?
[16:08] <Darkwing> It's getting better. Was homeless for a bit.
[16:08] <pleia2> homeless is not fun
[16:08] <Darkwing> Nope.
[16:08] <Darkwing> But, It's all looking better.
[16:13] <iheartubuntu> r you settled now
[16:14] <iheartubuntu> hello lyz how is your day going?
[16:14] <iheartubuntu> weather nice and cool up in SF?
[16:15] <pleia2> yeah, foggy this morning :)
[16:31] <iheartubuntu> love it! miss it!
[16:32] <iheartubuntu> its starting to get cool here down in socal at night.
[18:28] <nUboon2Age> I'm using TapChat now to have uninterupted irc connection here. :-)
[18:29] <nUboon2Age> some of y'all mentioned you use screen to do the same.  maybe i'll fool with that at some point.
[18:30] <pleia2> :)
[18:43] <nUboon2Age> jtatum, jledbetter will you make it to UH tomorrow? last time i checked it wasn't on the LOCO directory event schedule
[19:29] <bkerensa> If only I could make a living restoring hacked wordpress sites
[19:29] <bkerensa> :)
[19:35] <akk> That might be a teensy bit too specialized.
[19:48] <bkerensa> akk: true :D
[19:48] <bkerensa> but its so easy :D
[20:52] <bkerensa> woah MarkDude is back
[20:53]  * MarkDude has been rather busy
[22:19] <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?
[22:23] <pleia2> just realized I've done that a zillion times in debian (sysvinit && inittab) but never in Ubuntu (upstart with /etc/init/ files)
[22:24] <pleia2> you need a file in /etc/init/ that will spawn "/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100" or similar
[22:26] <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
[22:27] <pleia2> mark1234567_: did you virsh define /path/to/filename.xml
[22:27] <mark1234567_> i have attempted to yes
[22:28] <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
[22:29] <pleia2> you do need to shut the vm completely down and then start it back up though (not a reboot)
[22:29] <mark1234567_> yep
[22:30] <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
[22:31] <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)
[22:34] <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"
[22:35] <mark1234567_> without the consle def is what i mean
[22:50] <mark1234567_> nope still says the same thing.
[22:51] <mark1234567_> start on stopped rc or RUNLEVEL=[2345]
[22:51] <mark1234567_> stop on runlevel [!2345]
[22:51] <mark1234567_> respawn
[22:52] <mark1234567_> exec /sbin/getty -L 115200 ttyS0 vt102
[22:52] <mark1234567_> those are the 4 uncommented lines from ttyS0
[23:06] <mark1234567_> any other advice?
[23:08] <pleia2> unfortunately not, I've only really done this on debian where it "just worked"
[23:09] <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
[23:10] <pleia2> good luck :)
[23:16] <mark1234567_> thanks
