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