[Bug 1334749] Re: virt-install doesn't automatically default to Xen in Trusty

2015-01-19 Thread GeorgeDunlap
As the original report says, this doesn't seem to be an upstream issue.
As I reported there, Fedora with libvirt 1.2.5 didn't have this problem;
and on the Xen4CentOS packages, neither libvirt 0.10 nor libvirt 1.2.10
had this problem.  In all cases, if you booted under Xen, virsh would
find Xen without any extra hand-holding.  In the case of Xen4Centos
libvirt 1.2.10 packages, I can see that there are no patches changing
any defaults.

It seems likely that somewhere Ubuntu has actually added something which
is changing the default URI to KVM.

[Bug 1408282] [NEW] erc insert-log-on-open inserts log at the bottom rather than at the top of the buffer

2015-01-07 Thread GeorgeDunlap
Public bug reported:

Release: Trusty (14.04)

Package version: 5.3-1ubuntu1

Standard practice for IRC programs is (1) to log the chats to a file,
and (2) when re-opening a channel for which you have logs, to insert
logs from the previous session at the top (so you don't lose the history
if you have to log out briefly for some reason).

ERC 5.3 provides a simple way to do this, by adding the following lines
to your .emacrc [1]:

(setq erc-log-channels-directory ~/.erc/logs/)
(setq erc-save-buffer-on-part nil
  erc-save-queries-on-quit nil
  erc-log-write-after-send t
  erc-log-write-after-insert t
  erc-log-insert-log-on-open t)

However, on Trusty, there is a bug in the insert-log-on-open
functionality:  It inserts the log at the *end* of the buffer, *after*
opening the channel.  So you get the joining channel [whatever]
boilerplate, then the ERC prompt, *then* the log from the previous
session.

What it should do instead is to insert it at the top, before all that.

This is apparently a known issue (see [1] again), but erc appears to be
unmaintiained.

Ah, thanks -- yep, that looks like just the issue.

Ubuntu does seem to ship bash-completion (in a package named bash-
completion), looks like inherited directly from Debian.  Let me know if
you need me to try to  duplicate this and report this upstream.

Sorry -- got confused there for a second... Yes, I apparently forgot
that I had installed bash-completion.el manually.  This is probably not
a bug in Ubuntu then; let me leave this in incomplete temporarily and
I'll close it if it's confirmed.

[Bug 1370449] [NEW] emacs bash tab-completion doesn't work for commands with complete scripts in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/

2014-09-17 Thread GeorgeDunlap
Public bug reported:

I'm using emacs with the following two lines in my ~/.emacsrc:

(require 'bash-completion)
(bash-completion-setup)

In an emacs shell window, I noticed that the git tab-complete wasn't
working; but the stg tab-complete was.  In a normal terminal window,
both worked just fine.

After doing some investigation, I discovered that there are two places
where completion scripts are kept: /usr/share/bash-
completion/completions/ and /etc/bash_completion.d/.

All commands with their completion scripts in /etc/bash_completion.d/
work with tab-complete in an emacs window; this includes stg, grub, c.
All commands with their completion scripts in /usr/share/bash-
completion/completions/ don't work with tab-complete in emacs; this
includes git, gzip, c.

Steps to reproduce:
* Add the above two lines to ~/.emacrc
* Start emacs
* Open a shell (M-x shell)
* Type git check and then hit tab.

Expected behavior: emacs completes it to git checkout

Actual behavior: emacs says No completions.

[Bug 1334749] [NEW] virt-install doesn't automatically default to Xen in Trusty

2014-06-26 Thread GeorgeDunlap
Public bug reported:

If you boot under Xen in Trusty, and install virt-install, if you don't
specify a URI it gives you this warning:

WARNING  KVM acceleration not available, using 'qemu'

If you specify -c xen:/// on the command-line, however, it works
properly.

Similarly, if after creating a VM with virt-installer, you check it with
virsh without specifying the URI, you get nothing; but if you specify
Xen, then it works:

# virsh list --all
 IdName   State


# virsh -c xen:/// list --all
 IdName   State

 - u14.04 shut off

I'm not sure what the issue is here: my colleagues who are using a more
recent version of libvirt (1.2.5) in Fedora 20 were unable to reproduce
the issue.

[Bug 1060107] [NEW] brasero doesn't see my CD burner

2012-10-02 Thread GeorgeDunlap
Public bug reported:

I downloaded the Ubuntu 12.10 server install CD, but brasero doesn't
seem to recognize my CD burner.  Below are the steps I took:

1. Running brasero with just the image file

brasero /build/tmp/ubuntu-12.10-beta-server.iso

The window comes up and recognizes the .iso file, but doesn't see any
devices I can write to.  There's a blank CD in the drive.

2. Running brasero normally, and clicking Burn Image.

Same thing happens -- after selecting the .iso file, it doesn't see any
devices.

3. Trying to specify the device path

I tried passing --device= for the following devices: /dev/sdc,
/dev/sg0, /dev/sg2, like so:

brasero -i /build/tmp/ubuntu-12.10-beta1-server-amd64.iso
--device=/dev/sdc

I also tried just passing sdc (i.e., no /dev path).

In all cases, it just popped up a window saying: Wrong Command Line
Option.  /dev/sdc cannot be found.

However, the file is certainly there:

$ ls -l /dev/sdc
brw-rw 1 root disk 8, 32 Sep 24 09:57 /dev/sdc

And there don't seem to be any issues in dmesg:

Tim: Thanks for responding.  I just checked the GB mirror, and it looks
like there are binaries for linux and initrd.gz labelled 1 October.
However, they don't work on either of my two test boxes either. :-)

The boxes are in a machine room, but I'll try to morrow to see if I can
boot from a CD or a USB stick.  If I do get it to boot into rescue mode,
can I run apport-collect without going through the whole installation
process?

(I regularly need to wipe and re-install test boxes, and doing so
without netboot is rather inconvenient.)

2012-09-27 Thread GeorgeDunlap
Joseph: Thank you for response.  However, those instructions don't apply to me:
* As the title of the bug says, I'm not using grub, I'm using pxeboot.
* If you look at the config I provided above, you will see that it does not 
contain quiet, splash, or any of the other config options that wiki page 
recommends removing.

I have now removed the vga=normal parameter as well, but I get the
exact same results.

Regarding the serial console, I'm attaching the output that I have,
which shows the BIOS and etherboot process, up through the time that it
loads the kernel (which in this case is called
uq64.4.20120922.{linux,initrd.gz}, downloaded today from the gb Ubuntu
mirror).  As I said in my initial description, nothing at all is printed
from the kernel itself.  If you type cat exile.log in a terminal
window, you will see exactly the screen I see on the serial console.

It would make me feel much better if *someone* would please say that
they had *tried* to pxeboot on *something* using the 12.10 amd64 netboot
binaries.  Then if it fails for you (as I strongly suspect it will) you
could collect information on your own system.  What I strongly suspect
is not that there's any kind of obscure kernel bug, but just that the
images have been corrupted somehow during the build / mirroring process.

2012-09-27 Thread GeorgeDunlap
It looks like the patch mentioned above changes the path *to* /usr/lib
/xen-default/  According to this debian bug conversation, the right
solution is to just use qemu-dm, and allow the toolstack to figure out
the path to the binary:

http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/bug-685749-xen-utils-4-1-usr-lib-xen-

I'm downloading libvirt:quantal-proposed now; I'll see if I can get a
patch that implements that fix.

2012-09-27 Thread GeorgeDunlap
The attached file is a replacement for the fix-ubuntu-xen-qemu-dm-path.patch. 
 It does two things:
* Removes all absolute paths for qemu-dm and hvmloader, making them just 
qemu-dm and hvmloader respectively
* Changes the xml template for the emulate and bootloader fields to be 
filePath rather than absFilePath, to allow the checks above to succeed.

I've built libvirt/quantal-proposed with this change, and successfully
make an HVM guest using the resulting libvirt.

** Patch added: Updated patch for quantal.

[Bug 1056967] [NEW] netboot install images for amd64 don't boot on 12.10 beta

2012-09-26 Thread GeorgeDunlap
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu version: 12.10 Beta

I downloaded the netboot files linux and initrd.gz for 12.10 beta
from the following URL:

http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/installer-
amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/

And I used the following pxeconfig file:

label ubuntu-quantal-amd64-s
kernel ubuntu-quantal-amd64/linux
append vga=normal console=ttyS0,115200n8 
initrd=ubuntu-quantal-amd64/initrd.gz -- 

But it just crashes.  I also tried downloading netboot.tar.gz and
using the linux and initrd.gz from there.  The initrd.gz is a different
size; but it still crashes during boot.  Unfortunately, although I have
a serial console, there is no userful output.  I have the same result on
either an AMD box or an Intel box.

The 32-bit netboot images work just fine.

Due to the nature of the issue I have encountered, I am unable to run
anything on the systems *using 64-bit quantal*.  I did manage to install
the 32-bit version of quantal, but I'm afraid running the tool may
confuse people, since it will (no doubt) report a 32-bit kernel.

Let me know if you'd like me to run the tool on the 32-bit installation
anyway.

[Bug 1019320] [NEW] Installer looks at partitions inside existing LVM volumes

2012-06-29 Thread GeorgeDunlap
Public bug reported:

I have a system set up with 2 disks; sda and sdb.  sdb contains an lvm
volume group that contains logical volumes that contain disk images for
virtual machines, some of which are Linux-based.  When I tried to set up
guided partitioning using just sda, after selecting Finish and write
changes to disk, it failed saying, Cannot format swap partition in
sda5.

It turns out that what it was doing was looking *inside* the LVM volumes
on sdb, finding valid partition tables inside those volumes (i.e., the
partition tables of the virtual disks), finding swap partitions, and
deciding to try to use them.

After going back through the proposed partition and selecting do not
use for the partitions contained inside LVM volumes, the install
succeeded.

It seems overall like the installer by default shouldn't be looking at
partition tables *inside* LVM volumes; apart from VMs, there's never
really a need for that kind of thing.

2010-12-06 Thread GeorgeDunlap
Just to add a new data point:

I noticed today that I had a bunch of kernels from 10.04 lying around my
/boot.  Since it worked perfectly the very day I upgraded (several weeks
ago), I thought maybe going back to an earlier kernel version would do
it.  So I added the last 10.04 kernel to grub, booted, and it still
doesn't work.

The kernel version I booted was this one: 2.6.32-25-generic #45-Ubuntu
SMP Sat Oct 16 19:48:22 UTC 2010

Is it possible this is actually a bug in the userspace tools -- udev, or
udev rules?

Found the following in my /var/log/kernel.log (under 2.6.32-25):

FWIW I'm using the default 10.10 kernel:

$ uname -a
Linux silas 2.6.35-22-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 20:36:48 UTC 2010 i686

And I have a Ricoh host controller:

03:01.2 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter 
(rev 0a)
03:01.3 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 05)

I see the same messages above, even when using a normal 2G SD card.

One thing that's a bit strange: the messages are posted when I
*partially* insert the card into the reader, not when I actually push it
all the way in.  It's like the driver got the There's something partly
into the slot signal mixed up with the There's something definitely in
the slot, try to mount it; and so it tries to access it before it's
fully inserted, only to find that there's nothing there (No NAND device
found).

The SD card definitely worked on Friday, when I was running 10.04.

[Bug 597683] [NEW] Mercurial mode in emacs not packaged properly

2010-06-23 Thread GeorgeDunlap
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mercurial-common

After upgrading, emacs complained about not being able to find the file
mercurial, which is required in my .emacrc.

Looking at my 9.10 system, the file it wants is /usr/share/emacs/site-
lisp/mercurial.el, which is owned by mercurial-common.

On my 10.04 system, mercurial-common includes /usr/share/emacs/site-
lisp/mq.el, but not mercurial.el. There is a file called mercurial.el.gz
in /usr/share/doc/mercurial-common/examples, which looks to be a gzip'ed
version of mercurial.el.  Probably just got misplaced. :-)

[Bug 302791] [NEW] ssh not setting XAUTHORITY, XDG_SESSION_COOKIE

2008-11-27 Thread GeorgeDunlap
Public bug reported:

Description:Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release:8.04

When logging in to a machine through ssh (without -X or -Y), XAUTHORITY
is not set; and when logging in non-interactively, XDG_SESSION_COOKIE is
not set.  This prevents programs started over an ssh session to connect
to the X server of the machine on which it's running.

I use synergy to control my work desktop from my laptop (and so I have
more screen real estate).  I wrote the following script to automatically
run the synergy server and client when I come in to work in the morning:

#!/bin/bash
killall synergys
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] killall synergyc
synergys
ssh -R 24800:localhost:24800 [EMAIL PROTECTED] synergyc -f --name elijah 
localhost
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] killall synergyc
killall synergys

It worked until I upgraded this morning, at which point it gave the
following error:

DEBUG: CXWindowsScreen.cpp,840: XOpenDisplay(:0.0)
No protocol specified
WARNING: synergyc.cpp,337: cannot open secondary screen: unable to open screen

Digging a little deeper, I found that synergyc was trying to use
~/.Xauthority instead of /tmp/.gdm[...] as it should have, because
XAUTHORITY was not being set when logging in over ssh.

Furthermore, I discovered that if I logged in using an interactive shell
and set XAUTHORITY manually, then synergyc worked; but if I set
XAUTHORITY script-wise in a non-interactive shell, it still didn't work.
Further investigation revealed that in the interactive shell,
XDG_SESSION_COOKIE is being set, but in a non-interactive shell, it's
not being set.  If logged in interactively and unset XDG_SESSION_COOKIE,
it failed the same way as if I logged in non-interactively.

I'm not sure what the behavior was before, because things just worked.
:-)  When I first came in this morning, the script worked, but not after
I did a apt-get update.  I believe the packages updated were libc,
fglrx-control, and some linux modles.  libc is the most likely-looking
candidate.

  and set XAUTHORITY manually, then synergyc worked; but if I set
  XAUTHORITY script-wise in a non-interactive shell, it still didn't work.
  Further investigation revealed that in the interactive shell,
- XDB_SESSION_COOKIE is being set, but in a non-interactive shell, it's
- not being set.  If logged in interactively and unset XDB_SESSION_COOKIE,
+ XDG_SESSION_COOKIE is being set, but in a non-interactive shell, it's
+ not being set.  If logged in interactively and unset XDG_SESSION_COOKIE,
  it failed the same way as if I logged in non-interactively.
  
  I'm not sure what the behavior was before, because things just worked.
  :-)  When I first came in this morning, the script worked, but not after
  I did a apt-get update.  I believe the packages updated were libc,
  fglrx-control, and some linux modles.  libc is the most likely-looking
  candidate.
