Dear Alex,
 
 when the control file parameter is not specified, older user-mode-linux
 should take the uml-utilities default. but version 2.6.16-um1 (now on
 testing) was taking the uml-switch default.
 
 the problem is, that previously working activation scripts that have not
 specified the exact control ceased to work as expected, hence i offered
 the workaround.
 
 fortunately, this has changed in um2 version, and now upgrading is smoother.
 
thus does this mean that -2um version fixed the bug you submitted? If
so, if you feel it should be fixed, please let me know it, because I would 
like to close the bug, please.
Thank You in advance

Cheers

Dear Alex,
 this is a change in required parameters that left me with no networking 
 in uml.
 i'm using uml with eth0=daemon option. if no uml_switch control file is 
 specified, linux has previously (probably) searched it as configured in 
 the uml-utilities package, while now it searches it in the loacation 
 default for uml_switch upstream itself.
The uml-utilities daemon is designed to create, once installed, a default
ctl file in the following location:

/var/run/uml-utilities/uml_switch.ctl

then when started it waits for $UML_SWITCH_CTL which is by default set to
the previous parameter.
If you go in to the uml-utilities source code the usage it expects is
descripted in the following way (uml_switch.c):

fprintf(stderr, \tand run the UMLs with 
'eth0=daemon,,unix,control,data'\n);

and also, if not specified, it expects to find it in here (uml_switch.c):

static char *ctl_socket = /tmp/uml.ctl;

 while it's grave (the uml networking is quite vital), there is a simple 
 workaround: specify the exact control file location with the daemon arg.
In this way you specify the data it expects! Doesn't it?
Cheers

Package: user-mode-linux

Justification: renders package unusable


hello,

this is a change in required parameters that left me with no networking 
in uml.
i'm using uml with eth0=daemon option. if no uml_switch control file is 
specified, linux has previously (probably) searched it as configured in 
the uml-utilities package, while now it searches it in the loacation 
default for uml_switch upstream itself.
while it's grave (the uml networking is quite vital), there is a simple 
workaround: specify the exact control file location with the daemon arg.
