[libvirt] broken pipe?

[Itamar Heim]

As no one answered my previous problem., I'm trying to build latest
libvirt to be able to be more productive and find out if happens on later
versions.

Some silly questions to save time (on FC10 64):

1.       Can one build without xen-devel (the autobuild.sh does not care
for --without-xen
configure: error: You must install the Xen development package to compile
Xen driver with -lxenstore
(I installed xen-devel to bypass for now)

2.       checking libxml2 xml2-config >= 2.5.0 ... configure: error: Could
not find libxml2 anywhere (see config.log for details)
but
Package libxml2-2.7.2-2.fc10.x86_64 already installed and latest version?
(checked at latest master and 0.50 tag)

3.       already found the SDL patch is part of 0.50. since the build
failed, I installed the rpm:

rpm -i /tmp/libvirt-0.5.0-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm

warning: /tmp/libvirt-0.5.0-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature:
NOKEY, key ID de95bc1f

error: Failed dependencies:

 libgnutls.so.13()(64bit) is needed by libvirt-0.5.0-1.fc9.x86_64

 libgnutls.so.13(GNUTLS_1_3)(64bit) is needed by
libvirt-0.5.0-1.fc9.x86_64

 

I checked with 0.4.6 as well, I assume this is a difference between
fc9/fc10 somehow (since fc10 comes with 0.4.6)

4.       as for the python-libvirt rpm

Seems the libvirt-python spec does not check for some dependency of cygwin
(why would I need that on fedora)?

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./test_libvirt.py", line 2, in <module>

    import libvirt

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 12, in
<module>

    import cygvirtmod as libvirtmod

ImportError: No module named cygvirtmod

Subject: [libvirt] broken pipe?

 

Hi,

 

I have a problem with a small python script (using fedora 10 with its
shipped rpm's - libvirt-0.4.6-3.fc10.x86_64,
libvirt-python-0.4.6-3.fc10.x86_64)

I'm running a simple stupid libvirt python script.

I happen to want to use SDL, and it fails on "Could not initialize SDL -
exiting".

While I need to solve this error (i.e., find out in which version this
patch was included to allow me to specify the DISPLAY
http://www.mail-archive.com/libvir-list@redhat.com/msg08764.html)

 

I am more troubled by the fact that running the script again gives a
socket/pipe error until I restart libvirtd:

 

Run #1:

 

./test_libvirt.py

libvir: QEMU error : internal error QEMU quit during console startup

Could not initialize SDL - exiting

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./test_libvirt.py", line 37, in <module>

    vm = c.createLinux(x, 0)

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 892, in
createLinux

    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed',
conn=self)

libvirt.libvirtError: internal error QEMU quit during console startup

 

Run #2:

./test_libvirt.py

libvir: Remote error : socket closed unexpectedly

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./test_libvirt.py", line 37, in <module>

    vm = c.createLinux(x, 0) # what a lousy function name

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 892, in
createLinux

    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed',
conn=self)

libvirt.libvirtError: socket closed unexpectedly

libvir: Remote error : Broken pipe

 

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import libvirt

c = libvirt.open('qemu:///system')

x = """<domain type='kvm'>

  <name>yossi2</name>

  <memory>512000</memory>  <currentMemory>512000</currentMemory>

  <vcpu>1</vcpu>

  <os>    <type arch='i686' machine='pc'>hvm</type>    <boot dev='hd'/>
</os>

  <features>    <acpi/>  </features>

  <clock offset='utc'/>

  <devices>

    <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator>

    <disk type='file' device='disk'>

      <source file='/mnt/sda2/images/winxp-acpi.vmdk'/>

      <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>

    </disk>

    <input type='tablet' bus='usb'/>    <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/>

    <graphics type='sdl'/>

  </devices>

</domain>"""

vm = c.createLinux(x, 0)

 

Thanks,

   Itamar
