Additionally we have created a virt-preview repository for F13 users wishing to test out packages destined for F14 virtualization. Instructions for using these repositories can be found at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_Preview_Repository Recent updates in this repository include: F-12: ==== libvirt-0.7.7-4: - Fix nodedev XML conversion errors (bz 591262) - Fix PCI xml decimal parsing (bz 582752) - Fix CDROM media connect/eject (bz 582005) - Always report qemu startup output on error (bz 581381) - Fix crash from 'virsh dominfo' if secdriver disabled (bz 581166) - Fix slow storage volume allocation (bz 582356) F13 Bugs ======== DOOM-O-METER: 83 bugs are open against F13 virtualization packages, 65 are not fixed with pending releases. The final release has brought a larger audience to Fedora 13 and we need to spend some time focusing on these bugs before directing all of our attention to Fedora 14. If you would like to help out, you can find more information at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_bugs = Important = == kvm == https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=478317 almost 9 thousand syscalls per second while idle A patch has been posted which may resolve the issue. Look for an update after further testing. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544940 reattach virtio to rhel{5,6} guests will cause qemu-kvm crash https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=583850 qemu-kvm often crashes crashes when connecting vnc The real bug is that vnc_refresh_server_surface assumes that the display width is a multiple of 16. If it's not, then it accesses beyond the end of the row by a few bytes. On all but the last row, this is mostly harmless (it can result in unnecessarily marking the end of the row dirty), but on the last row, it copies over heap metadata. Patch is pending for this. _______________________________________________ virt mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
