| #openstack-nova - 2019-07-31 | |||
| 11:43:15 | openstackgerrit | Kashyap Chamarthy proposed openstack/nova master: libvirt: Parse the 'os' element from domainCapabilities https://review.opendev.org/673790 | |
| 11:44:10 | kashyap | aspiers: Okay, an idea for your problem | |
| 11:44:38 | kashyap | aspiers: I learnt from Laszlo (OVMF maintainer) in the past that there's a QEMU debug port which captures OVMF error messages | |
| 11:44:49 | kashyap | aspiers: But, it requires you explicitly adding it in. This waY: | |
| 11:45:00 | kashyap | <qemu:commandline> | |
| 11:45:00 | kashyap | <qemu:arg value='-global'/> | |
| 11:45:00 | kashyap | <qemu:arg value='isa-debugcon.iobase=0x402'/> | |
| 11:45:00 | kashyap | <qemu:arg value='-debugcon'/> | |
| 11:45:00 | kashyap | <qemu:arg value='file:/tmp/ovmf.fedora.q35.log'/> | |
| 11:45:05 | kashyap | </qemu:commandline> | |
| 11:45:25 | kashyap | aspiers: To your test. (Yes, we're doing QEMU 'commandline' passthrough - because we're debugging) | |
| 11:45:30 | kashyap | s/test/guest/ | |
| 11:45:56 | kashyap | Then, the error message can be read there | |
| 11:46:25 | aspiers | I'm not expecting any error though | |
| 11:46:30 | aspiers | it just stops at the UEFI shell prompt | |
| 11:46:38 | aspiers | as if that's what was supposed to happen | |
| 11:46:49 | kashyap | Hmm. What is different in Leap, compared to SLES? | |
| 11:46:58 | aspiers | It's the same guest image | |
| 11:47:02 | aspiers | only the hypervisor stack changed | |
| 11:47:29 | kashyap | aspiers: And previously your host was Ubuntu? | |
| 11:47:38 | aspiers | what?! | |
| 11:47:43 | kashyap | Hehe | |
| 11:47:43 | aspiers | wash your mouth out! | |
| 11:47:55 | aspiers | heathen | |
| 11:47:58 | aspiers | ;-) | |
| 11:48:10 | kashyap | aspiers: I'm just trying to understand the env 'before' and 'after' | |
| 11:48:11 | aspiers | It was working fine on SLES12 SP4, broken on Leap 15.0 | |
| 11:48:22 | kashyap | Ah, okay. | |
| 11:48:23 | aspiers | which are supposed to be close IIRC | |
| 11:48:39 | kashyap | Right, Leap is upstream | |
| 11:49:38 | kashyap | aspiers: How about you try to create a guest from scratch on Leap 15.0? | |
| 11:49:57 | kashyap | Ideally 'virt-install' + "kickstart" (assuming SUSE has such a concept, too) | |
| 11:50:08 | aspiers | autoyast | |
| 11:50:21 | kashyap | Right | |
| 11:50:34 | aspiers | I think I was writing ks.cfg files in the 1990s though | |
| 11:50:42 | aspiers | certainly a lot in the early 2000s | |
| 11:50:53 | kashyap | I just a plain minimal '@core' only | |
| 11:51:10 | aspiers | autoyast was way more powerful, at least until 2010 | |
| 11:51:11 | kashyap | See the bits after "fkstart" here: https://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/Create-a-SecureBoot-enabled-VM.bash | |
| 11:51:13 | aspiers | no idea these days | |
| 11:51:23 | kashyap | aspiers: You wouldn't believe, 10 years ago I _was_ using SUSE :-) | |
| 11:51:30 | aspiers | haha I would | |
| 11:51:30 | kashyap | Why wouldn't you believe? It's perfectly believable | |
| 11:51:36 | aspiers | many people did | |
| 11:51:42 | aspiers | especially in the 1990s | |
| 11:52:11 | kashyap | And my laptop has SUSE chamelon stickers, too | |
| 11:52:53 | aspiers | :-O | |
| 11:53:00 | aspiers | you didn't get fired for that? | |
| 11:53:05 | aspiers | X-D | |
| 11:53:30 | kashyap | Not to mention: https://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/geeko-key.jpg | |
| 11:55:06 | kashyap | aspiers: So back to the problem, I have no other ideas why it's stuck like that. Maybe as an experiment: re-install the image from scratch on Leap 15, _and_ try _that_ image on SLES12 SP4 | |
| 11:55:27 | aspiers | well the image was built in OBS using kiwi | |
| 11:55:29 | aspiers | not manually | |
| 11:55:33 | sean-k-mooney | aspiers: at least kashyap uses fedora as his distro on his laptop unlike me... | |
| 11:55:34 | kashyap | Hmm | |
| 11:56:05 | aspiers | ah you patched the win key, nice | |
| 11:56:14 | aspiers | sean-k-mooney: don't tell me, Ubuntu | |
| 11:56:15 | kashyap | I'm also an official Fedora packager. Also the Virt Stack support is unparalleled on Fedora. "Eating your own cooking" and all that. | |
| 11:56:36 | sean-k-mooney | aspiers: technically pop-OS but its based on ubuntu | |
| 11:56:56 | aspiers | We have a few SUSE employees who use Ubuntu as their base OS. My mind explodes every time I see it | |
| 11:57:02 | kashyap | aspiers: Unrelated, before I go for a break, I still need tests here, but please tell me if I did anything glaringly wrong: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/673790/ | |
| 11:57:23 | sean-k-mooney | aspiers: we also have people that use windows and mac | |
| 11:57:34 | aspiers | sean-k-mooney: I can almost understand that more | |
| 11:57:35 | sean-k-mooney | as long as you get your work donw people dont really care | |
| 11:57:48 | kashyap | sean-k-mooney: Not quite... | |
| 11:57:55 | aspiers | but if you're gonna use Linux, why not use the distro you're being paid to improve? | |
| 11:58:09 | sean-k-mooney | im not being paid to imporve it | |
| 11:58:12 | kashyap | I'd say, if you're at a Linux company, doing Linux-based dev. "Suffer the pain" and use Linux. | |
| 11:58:12 | sean-k-mooney | i dont work on rhel | |
| 11:58:22 | kashyap | No ifs, buts or maybes. | |
| 11:58:22 | aspiers | kashyap: I'm with you on this | |
| 11:58:36 | kashyap | It's not about "working on RHEL". | |
| 11:58:49 | sean-k-mooney | and i didnt join redhat for any of its products. i joined sole to work with people i enjoyed working with upstream | |
| 11:59:07 | sean-k-mooney | i am waiting for cento8 to come out however | |
| 11:59:13 | kashyap | Heh, yes | |
| 11:59:14 | sean-k-mooney | i would like to try it out | |
| 12:00:22 | aspiers | kashyap: you meant to add <enum> to the sparc fixture? | |
| 12:01:14 | aspiers | kashyap: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/673790/1/nova/virt/libvirt/config.py@165 that [] looks wrong | |
| 12:01:26 | aspiers | since you're not appending <os> to a list | |
| 12:05:11 | aspiers | kashyap: also please think about +1'ing https://review.opendev.org/#/c/348394/ as per my newest comment | |
| 12:13:42 | kashyap | aspiers: Oh, right. That [] is wrong. Indeed, one 'os' element | |
| 12:14:01 | aspiers | Thank god I'm actually some use as a reviewer occasionally | |
| 12:14:26 | kashyap | aspiers: Don't be silly, you know you give useful remarks a lot of times | |
| 12:14:36 | aspiers | sometimes I wonder ;-) | |
| 12:14:41 | aspiers | journalctl -f | lnav is truly a gift from the gods | |
| 12:14:55 | aspiers | if you haven't discovered the joys of lnav, do so immediately | |
| 12:15:07 | aspiers | http://lnav.org/ | |
| 12:15:12 | kashyap | aspiers: On that other bug from Dirk -- I'll repost the patch with CentOS fix, too. And think more | |
| 12:15:29 | aspiers | kashyap: thanks. Yeah just upload a new patchset? | |
| 12:15:39 | kashyap | aspiers: Yea, brewing | |
| 12:16:04 | kashyap | aspiers: I take it that you've read my full comment on that patch; thanks | |
| 12:16:09 | kashyap | aspiers: On lnav - I noticed it, but haven't used it much | |
| 12:16:22 | aspiers | You should, it's insanely good | |
| 12:16:31 | aspiers | worth it for the histogram feature alone | |
| 12:16:34 | sean-k-mooney | yep | |
| 12:16:40 | sean-k-mooney | i found it like a year ago | |
| 12:16:43 | sean-k-mooney | its really nice | |
| 12:16:56 | aspiers | sean-k-mooney: did you know about "lnav -i extra" ? | |
| 12:17:04 | aspiers | my 3rd party repo gets included | |
| 12:17:05 | sean-k-mooney | i havent use that really but i like its ablity to filter things | |
