The bug occurs utilising virt-manager to create a new vm. The installation software can;t get through to complete an install of a selection of paravirt in xen, using the website repositories. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot into xen environment, invoke virt-manager, 2.select new to install a new vm, enter the required info, e.g. fedora12, click finish, 3.install process progresses through a few steps effectively Actual Results: it contacts the fedora site, downloads a kernel and image data, then reports creating the image file, the falters with Unable to complete install: 'POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen daemon: (xend.err "Error creating domain: (38, 'Function not implemented')")' Details: Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen daemon: (xend.err "Error creating domain: (38, 'Function not implemented')") Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1435, in do_install dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 660, in start_install return self._do_install(consolecb, meter, removeOld, wait) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 758, in _do_install self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(install_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1097, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen daemon: (xend.err "Error creating domain: (38, 'Function not implemented')") ' Function not implemented is not very descriptive Expected Results: The install should complete and create a new vm in xen and reboot on demand via virt-manager, not fall into error. I shall select major as a category. I have filed a separate bug report for virtinst, along similar lines to this one, but clearly distinct. Between the two, virt-manager and virtinst are rendered extremely incapable, but specifically to the xen environment. qemu and kvm fair much better in conjunction with virt-manager. Please bring gentoo up to fully capable. Suse has nailed it with much the same software. idella@genny ~ $ sudo emerge --info Password: --- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.unmask: media-gfx/iscan x86 Portage 2.1.7.16 (default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.11-r1, 2.6.31-xen-r10 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.31-xen-r10-i686-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_E6550_@_2.33GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 00:15:02 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p35 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.10 dev-lang/python: 2.6.4, 3.1.1-r1 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.0 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.6.0 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r4, 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.30-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA dlj-1.1" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -O2 -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs -ggdb" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/sandbox.d /etc/splash /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -O2 -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs -ggdb" DISTDIR="/mnt/images/genny/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests buildpkg distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.swin.edu.au/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Gentoo ftp://mirror.isp.net.au/pub/gentoo/ http://mirror.isp.net.au/pub/gentoo/ http://mirror.averse.net/pub/gentoo/" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.au.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="(-altivec) (-aqua) (-fixed-point) (-gallium) (-hardened) (-kdeprefix) (-libffi) (-multilib) (-n32) (-n64) (-ps3) (-selinux) (wide-unicode) X a52 aac acl acpi aio alsa apm armeb arts audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bluetooth bmp bzip2 cairo cdparanoia cdr cli client%* consolekit corefonts cracklib cris crypt ctype cups cxx dba dbmaker dbus dga dri dts dv dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd ethereal evo extras fam fbcon ffmpeg fftw fftw* firefox flac fortran ftp gdbm gif gnome gnutls gphoto gpm gstreamer gtk gtk%* gtk2 hal handbook i386 iconv imagemagick inifile java jpeg kde ladcca ldap libg++ libvirtd lm_sensors lxc mad mbox microblaze mikmod mime mips64 mips64el mipsel mmap mng modules mono mozilla mp3 mp4 mpeg msn mudflap mysql ncurses netapi network nls nptl nptlonly ogg openal opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdf perl png png%* pnp posix ppc64abi32 ppcemb ppds pppd python qdbm qt qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection ruby samba scanner sdl semantic-desktop server%* session sh4 sh4eb shared slp smbclient sndfile sockets source sparc32plus sparc64 spell spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg svga sysfs tcpd theora threads thunar tiff truetype udev udev%* urandom usb v4l videos vorbis websockets wifi win32codecs x264 x86 x86_64 xcb* xine xinerama xml xml2 xorg xulrunner xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="snd_hda_intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev nvidia vesa v4l" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Which version of virtinst?
(In reply to comment #1) > Which version of virtinst? > oops, I should have included that. 0.500.1
Created attachment 228463 [details] the install log from virt-manager
(In reply to comment #2) > (In reply to comment #1) > > Which version of virtinst? > > and also should have included, the install log, see attachment. Also, libvirt is 0.7.5, which is valid because it's probably the source.
please test with virtinst-0.500.3
(In reply to comment #5) > please test with virtinst-0.500.3 > Well, that was also futile. Exactly the same error. Nochange. from virt-manager, after fetching the kernel and initrd; Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen daemon: (xend.err "Error creating domain: (38, 'Function not implemented')") Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1435, in do_install dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 972, in start_install return self._do_install(consolecb, meter, removeOld, wait) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1037, in _do_install "install") File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1008, in _create_guest dom = self.conn.createLinux(start_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1097, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen daemon: (xend.err "Error creating domain: (38, 'Function not implemented')") ' re logs, none created in virt-inatall or virt-manager. xend-debug-log yields: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/xen/xend/server/SrvDomainDir.py", line 77, in op_create dominfo = self.xd.domain_create(config) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomain.py", line 972, in domain_create dominfo = XendDomainInfo.create(config) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 95, in create vm.start() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 456, in start XendTask.log_progress(31, 60, self._initDomain) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/xen/xend/XendTask.py", line 209, in log_progress retval = func(*args, **kwds) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 2590, in _initDomain raise VmError(str(exn)) VmError: (38, 'Function not implemented') Shall re-open it, cnhange it back if you will, but it looks still broken from here. Between the two, virt-manager and virtinst are crippled. Can't yet install via these standard means. Shall try a few nore approaches. pxe is one. I can't tell from here which package it is, yet Hope for feedback.
(In reply to comment #6) > Well, there is a change. Not a helpful one, just a change. I acquired the most recent versions of virtinst and virt-manager. I re-installed them using USE="xen qemu kvm" emerge virtinst and virt-manager. It re-arranged the deckchairs. We've gone from function not implemented to " Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByName Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1553, in do_install dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 972, in start_install return self._do_install(consolecb, meter, removeOld, wait) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1037, in _do_install "install") File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1008, in _create_guest dom = self.conn.createLinux(start_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1098, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByName ' " Which "really" helps. Just to verify, I tried qemu with the same install version it it jumped straight in. It's the very last step before establishing the domain and passing it onto a vnc console in virt-manager, so it's faultering at the last step. These new versions certainly aren't rectifying faults, just seem to create new ones. The packages in lenny work quite well, not these new ones. In time I'm going to attrempt to run this through a python debugger, after I figure out how to use it.
Oh my, This is unexpected. See https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317975. Explains all.I'm now running xen 3.4.3-rc6-pre, and it works. This happily closes this unnecessary effort.
