[libvirt] broken pipe?

[Itamar Heim]

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
