Set up Spice-Gtk 0.9 with USB redirection on Ubuntu Precise

******************************************************************************
UPDATE on 02/14/2012 Set up Spice-Gtk 0.9 on Ubuntu Oneiric
******************************************************************************
New upstream release.
– add USB redirection support, see Hans comments in the log and that
post for details: http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/11084.html
– introduce SpiceGtkSession to deal with session-wide Gtk events, such
as clipboard, instead of doing it per display
– many cursor and keyboard handling improvements
– handle the new “semi-seamless” migration
– support new Spice mini-headers
– better coroutines: fibers on windows & jmp on linux
– add Vala vapi bindings generation
– Add command line options for setting the cache size and the glz
window size
– Add a USB device selection widget to libspice-client-gtk
– many bug fixes and code improvements
Build requires spice-protocol 0.10.1 and the most recent usbredir 0.3.3

sudo virsh net-autostart default

Works with QEMU-KVM 1.0 with no special patch

You can now redirect already plugged in devices / un-redirect devices without unplugging them, go to the Input menu and click “Select USB Devices for redirection”.









However , I still have to run “sudo spicy” to get USB redirection on Ubuntu. Otherwhise, following error appears on console :-

$ sudo ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.libvirtd /etc/apparmor.d/disable/

To start default network :-

sudo virsh net-start default
sudo virsh net-autostart default

Works with QEMU-KVM 1.0 with no special patch.
To succeed with with Spice-Gtk-0.7.159 build I had to spleet GTK2 and GTK3 builds
into two set of packages.
GTK2 build debian/rules contains :-

override_dh_auto_configure:
./configure \
--enable-vala --disable-smartcard \
--enable-introspection --enable-werror=no \
--with-gtk="2.0" --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib \
LIBUSB_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/libusb-1.0 \
LIBUSB_LIBS='-L/usr/lib/*-linux-gnu -lusb-1.0' \
LIBUSBREDIRHOST_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include \
LIBUSBREDIRHOST_LIBS='-L/usr/lib -lusbredirhost'

GTK3 build debian/rules contains :-

override_dh_auto_configure:
./configure \
--enable-vala --disable-smartcard \
--enable-introspection --enable-werror=no \
--with-gtk="3.0" --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib \
LIBUSB_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/libusb-1.0 \
LIBUSB_LIBS='-L/usr/lib/*-linux-gnu -lusb-1.0' \
LIBUSBREDIRHOST_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include \
LIBUSBREDIRHOST_LIBS='-L/usr/lib -lusbredirhost'


I was not expecting Qemu&Spice USB redirection to work.
However, it seems to be working.

Qemu-kvm 1.0 & Spice 0.10.0 & Spice-Gtk-0.7.81 USB redirection for Ubuntu Precise, Oneiric and Linux Mint 12 (Lisa)

Following bellow is attempt to reproduce Hans de Goede blog entry at http://planet.spice-space.org/ on Ubuntu 12.04 and 11.10 with intend to build Qemu-kvm 1.0 with usb redirection network support per http://planet.spice-space.org/. Current build qemu-kvm for Ubuntu Precise is based on branch http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~jwrdegoede/qemu/. View similar PPA for Ubuntu Oneiric and Linux Mint 12 (Lisa) Qemu-kvm 1.0 & Spice 0.10.0 & Spice-Gtk-0.7.81 USB redirection and Libvirt 0.9.7-2 for Ubuntu Oneiric(v.6).Spice-Gtk-0.7.81 has been built up on current snapshot of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-gtk to obtain Spice-Gtk with usb redirection support working stable with Spice 0.10.0. Builds have been done on Ubuntu Precise and Oneiric as well.Packaged version version of Spice-Gtk-0.7.81 is built up on mentioned git repository. Running autogen.sh with exported environment variable NOCONFIGURE allows to perform it in one build per Debian’s Spice-Gtk-0.7-3 building schema, however requiring several updates to debian/control and debian/rules due to snapshots have to be done from current git tree.Upgrade version of Libvirt up to 0.9.7-2 allows to avoid using “qemu” command line (libvirt 0.9.2) and follow http://planet.spice-space.org/ update VM’s XML profile under /etc/libvirt/qemu/ as suggested in second blog entry of Hans de Goede.

$ git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~jwrdegoede/qemu
$ cd qemu
$ git checkout -B qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir origin/qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir
$ cd ..
$ cp -R qemu qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir

Intermediate release :-

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~jwrdegoede/qemu/log/?h=qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir

clearly demonstrates that all usb redirection patches won’t be in Qemu-kvm 1.0 release

Libusb build is based on libusb-1.0.9-rc3 official package
Qemu-kvm 1.0 debian/rules contains:-

./configure \
–target-list=”x86_64-softmmu i386-softmmu x86_64-linux-user i386-linux-user” \
–prefix=/usr \
–interp-prefix=/etc/qemu-binfmt/%M \
–disable-blobs \
–disable-strip \
–enable-spice \
–enable-usb-redir \
$(conf_arch)

VirtFS support is available.

Per Daniel Berrange: In the same way that SSH allows you to setup hostname aliases in $HOME/.ssh/config, libvirt will now allow you to setup URI aliases in $HOME/.libvirt/libvirt.conf (if you are running unprivileged) or /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf (if you are running as root). NB do not confuse this file with libvirtd.conf which is a server side libvirtd daemon config file. Due to spice upgrade users should be able to run Spice server on 32-bit OS (Precise daily builds).

Rebuilding 3.1 & 3.0 Linux Kernel in Ubuntu style to support PV-on-HVM

*********************************************************************************************************************
Stock kernel for Oneiric (3.0.X.Y) has same Xen configuration as 3.1. I have filed bug against 3.1 at Launchpad regarding kernel configuration fix,however, in meantime i had to pass through procedure bellow with intend to benefit from PV-on-HVM feature providing by Xen 4.1.X Hypervisor and properly built 3.0 or 3.1 linux kernel. I follow [1] step by step updating config.flavour.pvhvm as required to perform kernel rebuild. In meantime status of bug at Launchpad is “Triaged”.There is another attractive option – just add driver xen-platform-pci.ko to initrd.img as post installation procedure. Then reboot with xen_platform_pci=1. I choosed kernel rebuild as option following core development [2]
**********************************************************************************************************************

A) To rebuild 3.1 :-
$ git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-precise.git source

Set up Oneiric PVHVM at Xen 4.1.2 Ubuntu Oneiric Dom0 (3.1.0-030100-generic)

This post is sample of utilizing optimized paravirtualized PVHVM drivers (also called PV-on-HVM drivers) with Xen fully virtualized HVM guests running Ubuntu 3.1 kernels at Xen 4.1.2 Dom0. Xen PVHVM drivers completely bypass the Qemu emulation and provide much faster disk- and network IO performance. First thing I had to do it was rebuild the recent Ubuntu kernel for precise Ubuntu-3.1.0-3 ( follow [1]) with CONFIG_XEN_PLATFORM_PCI=y. As result following debian packages gets created.

I’ve updated only “git clone” to get 3.1 kernel.

git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-precise.git source

There is another attractive option – just add driver xen-platform-pci to initrd.img as post installation procedure. Then reboot with xen_platform_pci=1. I choosed kernel rebuild option following core development [2]
Regardless [1] is written for Oneiric , it works for Precise kernel with minimal change above.Details may be viewed in Rebuilding 3.1 Linux Kernel in Ubuntu’s style
Next install regular HVM domain via profile :-

kernel ='/usr/lib64/xen/boot/hvmloader'
builder='hvm'
device_model = '/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
name = "OneiricPV-HVM"
memory = 2048
vcpus=2
pae=1
acpi=1
apic=1
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3f:03:01:14, bridge=virbr0, model=e1000' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda7,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/loop0,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
# disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda7,hda,w']
boot='d'
xen_platform_pci=0
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncpasswd=''
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
tsc_mode=0
usb=1
usbdevice='tablet'


Then three debian packages (result of standard Ubuntu 3.1 kernel rebuild):

linux-headers-3.1.0-2_3.1.0-2.3_all.deb
linux-headers-3.1.0-2-pvhvm_3.1.0-2.3_amd64.deb
linux-image-3.1.0-2-pvhvm_3.1.0-2.3_amd64.deb

have been scp’ed to Oneiric HVM DomU and new 3.1 Ubuntu kernel has been installed.

sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.1.0-2_3.1.0-2.3_all.deb \
linux-headers-3.1.0-2-pvhvm_3.1.0-2.3_amd64.deb \
linux-image-3.1.0-2-pvhvm_3.1.0-2.3_amd64.deb

Following xen front end’s drivers were included into /boot/initrd.img-3.1.0-2-pvhvm

root@boris-HVM-domU:~# echo "xen-blkfront" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
root@boris-HVM-domU:~# echo "xen-netfront" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
root@boris-HVM-domU:~# vi /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
root@boris-HVM-domU:~# update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.1.0-2-pvhvm

Domain has been shutdown and restarted with updated profile,having
xen_platform_pci=1
Runtime profile

kernel ='/usr/lib64/xen/boot/hvmloader'
builder='hvm'
device_model = '/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
name = "OneiricPV-HVM"
memory = 2048
vcpus=2
pae=1
acpi=1
apic=1
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3f:03:01:14, bridge=virbr0, model=e1000' ]
# disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda7,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/loop0,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda7,hda,w']
boot='c'
xen_platform_pci=1
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncpasswd=''
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
tsc_mode=0
usb=1
usbdevice='tablet'

This time HVM domU gets loaded ( vs using regular kernel) and dmesg report contains following messages which are the fair of success PVHVM domain loading :-

Patches set for debian build may be generated as follows :
$ git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~jwrdegoede/qemu
$ cd qemu
$ git checkout -B qemu-kvm-0.15.0-usbredir origin/qemu-kvm-0.15.0-usbredir
$ mkdir -p /tmp/patches
$ git format-patch -M -C –output-directory \
/tmp/patches ea2798c1ebe0c12d5feb7d7471a999ea0671ef2f

Qemu-kvm debian/rules contains:-

./configure \
–target-list=”x86_64-softmmu i386-softmmu x86_64-linux-user i386-linux-user” \
–prefix=/usr \
–interp-prefix=/etc/qemu-binfmt/%M \
–disable-blobs \
–disable-strip \
–enable-spice \
–enable-usb-redir \
$(conf_arch)

Kernel installed is 3.1.0-030100-generic

Consider option downgrade seabios 1.6.3 => 0.6.2-qxl if some things go wrong for you.
It won’t affect USB Redirection support

Spicy should be run by root, view http://planet.spice-space.org/

Spice-Gtk-0.7.6X build in general follows Debian’s 0.7-3 packaging schema, however several changes have been done to debian/control and debian/rules

Set up Oneiric PV DomU at Xen 4.1.2 Oneiric Dom0 (3.1.0-030100-generic)

Procedure is standard Debian’s network PV install. Download configuration file from following location. Debian and consequently Ubuntu still consider Libvirt and virtinst tools like virt-manager and command line utility virt-install as way to manage RH’s Xen domains like F15,F16,CentOS 6 either to be utilized with remote system mirrors

Running autogen.sh with exported environment variable NOCONFIGURE allows to perform it in one build per Debian’s Spice-Gtk-0.7-3 building schema, however requiring several updates to debian/control and debian/rules due to snapshots have to be done from current git tree.

Upgrade version of Libvirt up to 0.9.6 allows to avoid using “qemu” command line (libvirt 0.9.2) and follow http://planet.spice-space.org/ update VM’s XML profile under /etc/libvirt/qemu/ as suggested in second blog entry of Hans de Goede :-

Change the first line from: <domain type=’kvm’> to:

<domain type=’kvm’ xmlns:qemu=’http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0′&gt;

And add the following lines at the end, above the “</domain>” line: <qemu:commandline>

<qemu:arg value=’-readconfig’/>
<qemu:arg value=’/etc/qemu/ich9-ehci-uhci.cfg’/>
<qemu:arg value=’-chardev’/>
<qemu:arg value=’spicevmc,name=usbredir,id=usbredirchardev1′/>
<qemu:arg value=’-device’/>
<qemu:arg value=’usb-redir,chardev=usbredirchardev1,id=usbredirdev1,bus=ehci.0,debug=3′/>
<qemu:arg value=’-chardev’/>
<qemu:arg value=’spicevmc,name=usbredir,id=usbredirchardev2′/>
<qemu:arg value=’-device’/>
<qemu:arg value=’usb-redir,chardev=usbredirchardev2,id=usbredirdev2,bus=ehci.0,debug=3′/>
<qemu:arg value=’-chardev’/>
<qemu:arg value=’spicevmc,name=usbredir,id=usbredirchardev3′/>
<qemu:arg value=’-device’/>
<qemu:arg value=’usb-redir,chardev=usbredirchardev3,id=usbredirdev3,bus=ehci.0,debug=3′/>
</qemu:commandline>

Then run :-

# /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin restart

Manage VMs via virsh or Virt Manager having USB redirection support active in Spicy’s sessions.
VirtManager :-

Final draft and instructions to install are in PPA Qemu&Spice USB Redirection and Libvirt 0.9.6 on Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric)
When working with the most recent PPA Qemu-kvm 0.15.1 & Spice USB Redirection support for Ubuntu Oneiric with virt-manager,
patched by RH against previous issue. Another error shows up on VM shutdown :-

Consider option downgrade seabios 1.6.3 => 0.6.2-qxl to get more or less stable F15 KVM guest behavior.
It doesn’t help F16 RC1 KVM guest.

You might have to disable apparmor profile for libvirtd

$ sudo ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.libvirtd /etc/apparmor.d/disable/
$ sudo apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.libvirtd
$ sudo adduser $USER kvm

Qemu-kvm debian/rules contains:-

./configure \
--target-list="x86_64-softmmu i386-softmmu x86_64-linux-user i386-linux-user" \
--prefix=/usr \
--interp-prefix=/etc/qemu-binfmt/%M \
--disable-blobs \
--disable-strip \
--enable-spice \
--enable-usb-redir \
$(conf_arch)

Spicy should be run by root, view http://planet.spice-space.org/. Make sure you’ve done on server

$ sudo apt-get install ipxe

Per Hans de Goede :-
Select the options menu entry and make sure that the “auto redirect newly plugged in USB devices” option is checked. After this make sure the vm has keyboard focus (so close the options menu), plug in a new USB device and watch it show up in your vm



Connection to remote KVM Spice enabled Server with USB Redirection on Oneiric :-



Copy from USB pen to remotely running qemu-kvm VM via spicy session issued by root on local box

KVM itself may run ( via qemu command line) on any Oneiric box on the LAN with Qemu-kvm 0.15.0 with usb network redirection support (say address IP01).Spice-Gtk-0.7.46 should be installed on your local machine. Then run :-

# spicy -h IP01 -p 5900

Plug in USB pen on local box . It will be opened in Spicy session with remote qemu-kvm process.

Libvirt 0.9.6 is required to avoid qemu command line vm start and managing VMs via virsh XML definitions, what consequently allows to start VMs via virt-manager. Current version of libvirt in Oneiric is 0.9.2. I am not sure what version of libvirt will be choosed for Precise (12.04).Debian Unstable already contains 0.9.6.

Fedora 15 KVM running native spice-vdagent started via qemu command line







Oneiric KVM running built for Ubuntu spice-vdagent started via qemu command line

************************************************************************************************
Following bellow seems to be the best way to implement Qemu-kvm 0.15.0 spice enabled, Spice Server 0.8.2 and Spice-Gtk-0.7 with GObject-introspection enabled on Ubuntu 11.10 in meantime close to Beta 1. It’s based on PPA Building Spice-Gtk-0.7 via Debian Unstable with Gobject-introspection enabled published on 08/20/11. The original version of Spice-Gtk-0.7-2 came from Debian Unstable didn’t support GObject-introspection. Original version 0.7-2 was not supposed to install files like *.gir and *.typelib. View projects /collab-maint/spice-gtk.git/ summary. No tag “unstable/0.7-3″.It also clearly shows that introspection went into Git Repo on 09/01/11. View [2] also regarding this issue. Original version 0.7-2 also required fixes for debian/control and debian/rules. To understand better why this step should be undertaken, please , view Introspection Overivew

Now I feel myself like a detective whose 4 weeks old case, somebody wants to drop. It’s really funny, because lack of understanding GObject-introspection when porting Spice-Gtk-0.7 from F16 do Debian (Ubuntu) is not a crime.

Moreover file http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/spice-gtk/spice-gtk_0.7-2.dsc (been located at http://mentors.debian.net/package/spice-gtk) doesn’t exist on the Net any longer,which has been used by myself for :
$ dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/spice-gtk/spice-gtk_0.7-2.dsc
$ dpkg-source -x spice-gtk_0.7-2.dsc

and spice-gtk-0.7-2 was a base I used to rebuild debian packages with introspection enabled, view my PPA
“Building Spice-Gtk-0.7 via Debian Unstable with gobject-introspection enabled”. It means I did it on my own . Everything had been done by myself from scratch.
I really did it from scratch but in different way and at different time. View another my PPA : Qemu-kvm 0.15.0 and Spice on Ubuntu 11.10 as of 08/10/11 and my article at LinuxToday Set up Spice-Gtk-0.7 on Ubuntu 11.10
******************************************************************************************************************
UPDATE on 09/12/11. Bug – https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=734680 doesn’t show up when running with spice (0.8.2) enabled qemu-kvm 0.15.0 with Oneiric patching
******************************************************************************************************************
UPDATE on 09/06/11. As of 09/05/11 Mentioned error has been fixed. Packaging schema changed vs been used on 09/01/11. Original version 0.7-2 (as of 08/16/11) may be viewed now only at QA page http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=bluestonechina%40gmail.com. Front page doesn’t contain it any longer.

*****************************************************************************************************************
Now back to rebuild spice-gtk-0.7-2 from Debian (08/16/11) to enable introspection , which had been done on 08/20/11
*****************************************************************************************************************
Port Debian Unstable Spice Server (been built with embedded libcelt051) to Ubuntu 11.10.
$ dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/spice/spice_0.8.2-2.dsc

Port Debian Unstable version of Spice-Gtk-0.7 to Ubuntu 11.10.
$ dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/spice-gtk/spice-gtk_0.7-2.dsc
$ dpkg-source -x spice-gtk_0.7-2.dsc
It requires rebuild to enable gobject-introspection,which was done in PPA "Building Spice-Gtk-0.7 via Debian Unstable with gobject-introspection enabled" for Ubuntu 11.10.

Details may be viewed here :
Building Spice-Gtk-0.7 via Debian Unstable with gobject-introspection enabled

In particular,

1. Added –enable-introspection to debian/rules dh_auto_configure.

Rebuild Spice-Gtk-0.7 via Debian Unstable with gobject-introspection enabled

Following bellow seems to be the best way to implement Qemu-kvm 0.15.0 spice enabled, Spice Server 0.8.2 and Spice-Gtk-0.7 with GObject-introspection enabled on Ubuntu 11.10 in meantime close to Beta 1. It’s based on PPA Building Spice-Gtk-0.7 via Debian Unstable with Gobject-introspection enabled published on 08/20/11. The original version of Spice-Gtk-0.7-2 came from Debian Unstable didn’t support GObject-introspection. Original version 0.7-2 was not supposed to install files like *.gir and *.typelib. View projects /collab-maint/spice-gtk.git/ summary.It also clearly shows that introspection went into Git Repo on 09/01/11. View [2] also regarding this issue.
Original version 0.7-2 also required fixes for debian/control and debian/rules. To understand better why this step should be undertaken, please , view Introspection Overivew

Now I feel myself like a detective whose 4 weeks old case, somebody wants to drop. It’s really funny, because lack of understanding GObject-introspection when porting Spice-Gtk-0.7 from F16 do Debian (Ubuntu) is not a crime.

Moreover file http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/spice-gtk/spice-gtk_0.7-2.dsc ( been located at http://mentors.debian.net/package/spice-gtk) doesn’t exist on the Net any longer,which has been used by myself for :
$ dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/spice-gtk/spice-gtk_0.7-2.dsc
$ dpkg-source -x spice-gtk_0.7-2.dsc

and spice-gtk-0.7-2 was a base I used to rebuild debian packages with introspection enabled, view my PPA
“Building Spice-Gtk-0.7 via Debian Unstable with gobject-introspection enabled”. It means I did it on my own . Everything had been done by myself from scratch.
I really did it from scratch but in different way and at different time. View another my PPA : Qemu-kvm 0.15.0 and Spice on Ubuntu 11.10 as of 08/10/11 and my article at LinuxToday Set up Spice-Gtk-0.7 on Ubuntu 11.10
***********************************************************
Now back to rebuild spice-gtk-0.7-2 done on 08/20/11 :-
***********************************************************
Port Debian Unstable Spice Server (been built with embedded libcelt051) to Ubuntu 11.10.
$ dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/spice/spice_0.8.2-2.dsc
$ dpkg-source -x spice_0.8.2-2.dsc
Port Debian Unstable version of Spice-Gtk-0.7 to Ubuntu 11.10.
$ dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/spice-gtk/spice-gtk_0.7-2.dsc
$ dpkg-source -x spice-gtk_0.7-2.dsc
It requires rebuild to enable gobject-introspection,which was done in PPA “Building Spice-Gtk-0.7 via Debian Unstable with gobject-introspection enabled” for Ubuntu 11.10.

Details may be viewed here :
Building Spice-Gtk-0.7 via Debian Unstable with gobject-introspection enabled

In particular,

1. Added –enable-introspection to debian/rules dh_auto_configure.

dh_auto_configure -B/build/buildd/spice-gtk-0.7/build-gtk3 -- \
--enable-smartcard=no --with-gtk=3.0 --disable-static --enable-introspection


dh_auto_configure -- \
--enable-smartcard=no --with-gtk=2.0 --disable-static --enable-introspection


2. Updated debian/control and added required dependencies

Build-Depends:
debhelper (>= 8.0.0),
libspice-protocol-dev (>= 0.8.1),
libspice-server-dev,
libpixman-1-dev (>= 0.17.7),
libgtk2.0-dev,
libgtk-3-dev,
libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.22),
libcairo2-dev (>= 1.2.0),
libpulse-dev,
python2.7,
python-gtk2-dev (>= 2.0.0),
python-pyparsing,
intltool,
libsasl2-dev,
libjpeg8-dev,
gobject-introspection, <=
libgirepository1.0-dev <=

The last two lines have been added.

3.Several debian/package_name.install files have been updated by adding right full path to corresponding library to accommodate installation of :-

/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/SpiceClientGLib-2.0.typelib
/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/SpiceClientGtk-2.0.typelib
/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/SpiceClientGtk-3.0.typelib
/usr/share/gir-1.0/SpiceClientGLib-2.0.gir
/usr/share/gir-1.0/SpiceClientGtk-3.0.gir

which otherwise won’t be installed.

Added to libspice-client-glib-2.0-4.install
line usr/lib/girepository-1.0/SpiceClientGLib-2.0.typelib

Added to libspice-client-gtk-2.0-1.install
line usr/lib/girepository-1.0/SpiceClientGtk-2.0.typelib

Added to libspice-client-gtk-3.0-1.install
line usr/lib/girepository-1.0/SpiceClientGtk-3.0.typelib

Added to libspice-client-glib-2.0-dev.install
line usr/share/gir-1.0/SpiceClientGLib-2.0.gir

Added to libspice-client-gtk-3.0-dev.install
line usr/share/gir-1.0/SpiceClientGtk-3.0.gir

Qemu-kvm 0.15.0 was built with changed dependencies in the same PPA
Packages from https://launchpad.net/~bderzhavets/+archive/test-deb2 installed with no conflicts on Oneiric daily build 08/27/11. Spice sessions (via VirtManager) in QXL mode (64M vram) for install and for runtime have been run. The most recent snapshot for seabios supporting 64M vram for QXL device
uploaded to ppa:bderzhavets/test-deb2, ppa:bderzhavets/test-deb1

To install packages from PPA

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bderzhavet/test-deb2
$ sudo apt-get update

libspice-client-gtk-3.0-1 libspice-client-gtk-3.0-dev \
python-spice-client-gtk spice-client-gtk spice-client \
seabios

$ sudo apt-get install virtinst virt-manager virt-viewer

You might have to disable apparmor profile for libvirtd

$ sudo ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.libvirtd /etc/apparmor.d/disable/

Qemu-kvm 0.15.0 stable and Spice-Gtk-0.7 on Ubuntu 11.10

All packages required are already in PPA “Qemu-kvm 0.15.0 and Spice on Ubuntu 11.10″. Spice-gtk-0.7 has been done for Oneiric as two builds. First one with python, gobject-introspection enabled and –with-gtk=”2.0″(GTK2). Second one –with-introspection and –with-gtk=”3.0″ (GTK3).This builds actually are the core builds in PPA, which bring RH’s technologies to Ubuntu 11.10. Notice, that option –with-audio=”pulse” is also used by both builds and appears to be working fine. Version of Spice Server has been
also upgraded to 0.8.2.

If you are missing at least one device under /dev/xen or lsmod doesn’t show all mentioned drivers, yours system won’t be functional.
Create HVM DomU via standard python profile. You should be able complete the task with no problem. Next step would be fixing bug with virtinst tools and install HVM Ubuntu 10.04.3 via virt-manager or virt-install. Installation via virt-manager is much easier and allows create Ubuntu 10.04.3 PV DomU via XML profiling and command “virsh define” in several minutes.




Next to activate Libvirt 0.9.2 and virtinst tools :-

# apt-get install virtinst virt-viewer virt-manager

Comment out (xend-unix-server yes) in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp and export variable

export VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI="xen:///"

in root’s .bashrc. Then restart xend service
Attempt to run :-

# virt-install --connect xen:/// --debug -n LynxHVM --hvm -r 1024 --vcpus=1 \
-f /dev/sda7 --vnc \
-c /root/Downloads/ubuntu-10.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso

All packages required are already in PPA “Spice-Gtk-0.7 on Ubuntu 11.10″. Spice-gtk-0.7 has been done for Oneiric as two builds. First one with python, gobject-introspection enabled and –with-gtk=”2.0″(GTK2). Second one –with-introspection and –with-gtk=”3.0″ (GTK3).This builds actually are the core builds in PPA, which bring RH’s technologies to Ubuntu 11.10. Notice, that option –with-audio=”pulse” is also used by both builds and appears to be working fine.
Following bellow is brief description of PPA Spice-Gtk-0.7 on Ubuntu 11.10.
View also PPA Qemu-kvm 0.15.0 and Spice on Ubuntu 11.10

1.The most recent qemu-kvm packages were done via “git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git” are Release 0.15.0 as of 08/10/2011.
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git
$ cd qemu-kvm
$ git checkout -b stable-0.15 origin/stable-0.15
$ cd ..
Copy to building directory :
$ cp -R qemu-kvm ../BUILD/qemu-kvm-mmddyy
Stable branch is already patched to fix “QXL” issues and to support spicevmc channel

2. Spice-gtk-0.7 has been done for Oneiric as two builds.

GTK2 build performed with

Build Spice-Gtk-0.6 (GTK2&GTK3) on Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric)

Package spice-gtk-0.6 has been rebuilt on Natty to support gobject-introspection.Notice, that it was GTK2 build. Only GTK2 build creates SpiceClientGtk.so,which allows you to open Spice Console via virt-manager. Fedora 16 (rawhide) does two parallel builds GTK2 and GTK3. Analysis of spice-gtk-0.6-1.fc16.src.rpm clearly shows how packages are supposed to be created separating directories with GTK2 and GTK3 shared libraries. Actually, spice-gtk.spec works as a sample to create debian’s package.install files, providing an option reproduce exactly the same file layout on Ubuntu 11.10 as it is on F16 (rawhide) after install package spice-gtk-0.6-1.
Just SpiceClientGtk.so allows to run installs with video mode “vga” and spice sessions in “qxl” video mode with created domains via virt-manager.
View PPA Spice-Gtk-0.6 on Ubuntu 11.04 and Ubuntu 11.10 for details :-
Build with GTK2 : spice-gtk-0.6-9ubuntu15
Built packages
libspice-client Spice GTK+ Library
libspice-client-dev Spice GTK+ Library (development files)
Build with GTK3 : spice-gtk3-0.6-3ubuntu9
Built packages
libspicegtk3-client Spice GTK+ Library
libspicegtk3-client-dev Spice GTK+ Library (development files)
spicegtk3-client Virtual Desktop Interface Client using the Spice Protocol
Build spice-gtk3-0.6-3ubuntu9 depends on libspice-client. Both builds have been done for Oneiric and tested to install (with no conflicts) via Synaptic Manager and to work on daily builds 06/24/11 and 06/29/11 . Qemu-kvm build (spice enabled) was based on git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git as of 06/23/11.

Set up Spicevmc Channel on Ubuntu 11.04 as KVM Server and spice-vdagent on Natty as a KVM guest

Procedure following bellow set up spicevmc channel support on KVM Server Ubuntu Natty. It also instructs how to setup spice-vdagent on Natty installed as KVM guest at any KVM Server Ubuntu 11.04 or F15. In other words it contains build debian package spice-vdagent via source for Ubuntu 11.04 ( Natty). To setup spicevmc channel on Natty install qemu-kvm packages from PPA Packages in Spice-Gtk-0.6 on Ubuntu 11.04 and Ubuntu 11.10. Build qemu-kvm-060911-0ubuntu5 from PPA already supports spicevmc channel.It’s original tarball is based on git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git on 06/09/2011.Also upgrade virtinst via same PPA up to 0.500.6 to have virt-install understand option “–channel spicevmc”

Install VF15 KVM guest via :-

virt-install --connect qemu:///system \
--virt-type kvm \
--os-type=linux --os-variant=fedora15 \
--name VM15VMC --ram 2048 --disk path=/dev/sda5 \
--graphics spice --video qxl --channel spicevmc \
--cdrom /usr/tmp/Fedora-15-x86_64-DVD.iso --vcpus 2

Due to absence Virt-Manager’s ability to create channels,
e.g. it’s missing required F15 patches. Then in guest environment :
# sudo yum update
# sudo yum install spice-vdagent.
It provides an option cut text in VM Spice screen and paste in KVM Server Ubuntu 11.04 desktop environment and vice versa ….
Debian qemu-kvm packages providing spicevmc support have been also tested OK on Oneiric ( Libvirt 0.9.1)





Install Natty KVM guest as follows :-


virt-install --connect qemu:///system \
--virt-type kvm \
--os-type=linux --os-variant=ubuntunatty \
--name UbuntuVMC --ram 2048 \
--disk path=/dev/sdb7 \
--graphics spice --video qxl \
--channel spicevmc \
--cdrom /usr/tmp/ubuntuDesk11.04.iso \
--vcpus 2

When done install spice-vdagent for Natty via PPA Spice on Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10.
*********************************************************************************
Update on 06/17/2011. Current versions of spice-vdagent install service and *.desktop (file) automatically and require guest restart for activation or manual gdm restart and starting service.
*********************************************************************************

Next :-
1. Create file /etc/xdg/autostart/spice-vdagent.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Spice vdagent
Comment=Agent for Spice guests
Exec=/usr/bin/spice-vdagent
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=

2. Then create service spice-vdagentd.

Create file /etc/init/spice-vdagentd.conf

Testing Oneiric Daily Build as KVM guest :-

Spice-Gtk-0.6 on Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric) after Libvirt & python-libvirt upgrade up to 0.9.1

Packages from PPA Spice-Gtk-0.6 on Ubuntu 11.04 have been rebuilt and installed on Oneiric Alpha 1 + (apt-get update; apt-get upgrade) as of 06/10/2011. Virt-Manager is able to perform guest’s installs with either VNC Server or Spice Server & Video Mode “VGA”. Afterwards guest’s Grapics may be switched to Spice Server and video mode to “QXL” Spice sessions run normal via Virt-Manager and spicec as well. As of now all packages from Spice-Gtk-0.6 on Ubuntu 11.04 and Ubuntu 11.10 are rebuilt for Oneiric and uploaded to the same PPA.

Set up Spice-Gtk-0.6 on Ubuntu 11.04 ( Natty Narwhal )

I presume that standard KVM Server has been already setup on Ubuntu 11.04. The intend is to push “spice” as far as possible on the system, including option of running spice session via virt-manager for domains install (video “vmvga”) and runtime (video “qxl” or “vmvga”) as well. Add to system PPA Building qemu-kvm&spice based on current /virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git for Ubuntu 11.04

# apt-add-repository ppa:bderzhavets/git-spice
# apt-get update

Install all packages from PPA except spice-gtk. It will result install spice enabled qemu binaries into /usr/bin due to
original tar ball was based on git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git as of May 18 2011. Spice server and spice client will be installed also.
*************************************************************************************************************
Update on 05/25/2011. Finally i have rebuilt Spice-gtk package in mentioned PPA to support python and gobject-introspection
*************************************************************************************************************
Then we will build Spice-gtk-0.6 manually to enable gobject-introspection

# apt-get install cdbs debhelper autotools-dev spice-protocol-dev \
libpixman-1-dev pkg-config libssl-dev \
libjpeg62-dev libcelt051-dev libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev \

python2.6 libtext-csv-perl python-pyparsing python-gtk2-dev \
gobject-introspection libgirepository1.0-dev

Download spice-gtk-0.6.tar.bz2 to /usr/src/SPICE_GTK_0.6

# cd /usr/src/SPICE_GTK_0.6
# tar -jxvf spice-gtk-0.6.tar.bz2
# cd spice-gtk-0.6

(Reading database … 148506 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking spice-gtk (from ./spice-gtk_0.6-1_amd64.deb) …
Setting up spice-gtk (0.6-1) …

There is also another option add to system PPA Spice-Gtk-0.6 on Ubuntu 11.04 and install ready package spice-gtk-0.6-1ubuntu8.

Start spice session via virt-manager :-





At this point mouse pointer will be lost after blind click on the bar ” Account Name”. But bar will stay highlighted. Press “Enter”
it will activate password prompt and get mouse pointer back. Otherwise, log into VM and mouse pointer should be alive again.
Procedure has been tested with F14,Natty,W7 virtual machines logging in.

Rebuild KVM/QEMU to support SPICE on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)

Rebuild procedure of regular qemu-kvm package to support spice on Natty Narwhal follows bellow. It depends on all packages from ppa:serge-hallyn/spice2 except qemu-kvm-spice. New packages install spice enabled /usr/bin/qemu* binaries and graphical spice client. I just disabled libvirtd’s AppArmor profile to be able manage domains via virt-manager. Spice install may be performed via virt-install. It would understand options “–graphics spice”, “–video qxl”. All required packages have been uploaded and built in PPA Spice on Ubuntu 11.04.

Building qemu-kvm&spice based on current /virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git for Ubuntu 11.04
Uncompress regular Natty qemu-kvm package :-

qemu-kvm_0.14.0+noroms-0ubuntu4.diff.gz
qemu-kvm_0.14.0+noroms-0ubuntu4.dsc
qemu-kvm_0.14.0+noroms.orig.tar.gz

# dpkg-source -x qemu-kvm_0.14.0+noroms-0ubuntu4.dsc
# cd qemu-kvm_0.14.0+noroms-0ubuntu4

Edit debian/rules and comment line ( per Serge Hallyn)

# $(MAKE) -f debian/rules unpatch

to get patching to work !!

That’s a reason why hack “spice-qxl-locking-fix-for-qemu-kvm.patch” didn’t work originally.

Change ./configure part of debian/rules adding “–enable-spice” :-

config-host.mak: $(QUILT_STAMPFN)
dh_testdir
./configure \
–target-list=”x86_64-softmmu i386-softmmu x86_64-linux-user i386-linux-user” \
–prefix=/usr \
–interp-prefix=/etc/qemu-binfmt/%M \
–disable-blobs \
–disable-strip \
–enable-spice \
$(conf_arch)
Save

**********************************************************************************************************************
Packages installed via ppa:serge-hallyn/spice2 have been tested for F14, W7 KVMs installs and runtime. Package qemu-kvm-spice (0.14.0+noroms-0ubuntu4qxl2) is based on the most recent RH’s QXL patches sets for qemu-kvm-0.14.tar.gz. Disabling AppArmor’s profile for libvirtd allows to manage and create domains via virt-manager 0.8.6-1 installed on Ubuntu Natty Narwhal. However, first domain install with option “-spice port=5900,disable-ticketing -vga qxl” has been been performed via qemu-kvm command line keeping original restrictions in place.
Add new repository to system :-

# add-apt-repository ppa:serge-hallyn/spice2
# apt-get update

Install packages from PPA on your system :-



Verify install via “dpkg -l” :

root@boris-System-P5Q3:~# dpkg -l |grep spice
ii libspice-client 0.6-0ubuntu1 Spice GTK+ Library
ii libspice-client-dev 0.6-0ubuntu1 Spice GTK+ Library (development files)
ii libspice-server 0.8.1-0ubuntu1 Spice Server-Side Library
ii libspice-server-dev 0.8.1-0ubuntu1 Spice Server-Side Library (development files)
ii qemu-kvm-spice 0.14.0+noroms-0ubuntu4qxl2 Full virtualization on i386 and amd64 hardware
ii spice 0.8.1-0ubuntu1 Spice Client
ii spice-protocol-dev 0.8.0-0ubuntu1 SPICE protocol headers

AppArmor’s restriction for libvirtd profile on Natty Narwhal brings us initially to qemu-kvm command line installation.
Open terminal session and issue :-

/usr/bin/kvm-spice -cpu host -enable-kvm \
-name W7 -m 2048 \
-drive file=/dev/sdb7,if=virtio,media=disk,aio=native,cache=off \
-drive file=/usr/tmp/virtio-win-1.1.16.vfd,if=floppy \
-net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -localtime \
-usb -vga qxl -spice port=5900,disable-ticketing \
-cdrom /usr/tmp/Win7_64.iso -boot d

Connect to console via “spicec -h localhost -p 5900″ and proceed with install :-







When done load W7 KVM as follows :-

/usr/bin/kvm-spice -cpu host -enable-kvm \
-name W7 -m 2048 \
-drive file=/dev/sdb7,if=virtio,media=disk,aio=native,cache=off \
-net nic,model=virtio -net user -localtime \
-usb -vga qxl -spice port=5900,disable-ticketing \
-cdrom /usr/tmp/virtio-win-1.1.16.iso

and set up VirtIO Net Driver




Finally runtime command line will look like :-

/usr/bin/kvm-spice -cpu host -enable-kvm \
-name W7 -m 2048 \
-drive file=/dev/sdb7,if=virtio,media=disk,aio=native,cache=off \
-net nic,model=virtio -net user -localtime \
-usb -vga qxl -spice port=5900,disable-ticketing



Now disable AppArmor profile for libvirtd :-

# ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.libvirtd /etc/apparmor.d/disable/
# apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.libvirtd
# reboot

Next step

# cd /usr/bin
# cp qemu-system-x86_64-spice qemu-system-x86_64
# cp qemu-x86_64-spice qemu-x86_64

Invoke virt-manager with option "Import Existing Image"



and update XML definition of W7 as follows.

Run
# virsh define W7.xml

Now start domain via Virt-Manger :-





Actually at this point domains may be created in VNC mode via virt-manager 0.8.6-1. SPICE Server activated invoking "Add Hardware" wizard -> "Graphics->Spice Server , previously removing VNC Server. Switching domain to "QXL" mode is also possible via virt-manager.

Backport Virt-manager 0.8.7-3 (without spice) & python-virtinst-0.500.6-2 to Scientific Linux 6

Primary target is to get virt-install supporting options “–graphics spice”,”–video qxl”,”–channel spicevmc”.
Virt-manager-0.8.7-3.fc15.src.rpm has to be installed and it’s spec’s file updated :-

%define with_spice 0

then rebuild and perform virt-manager-0.8.7-3.el6.noarch.rpm install, having python-virtinst-0.500.6-2 already in place :-

yum install virt-manager-0.8.7-3.el6.noarch.rpm

It seems running smoothly with python-virtinst-0.500.6-2 ( rebuilt and reinstalled in the same way). Obviously there is no access to spice console via virt-manager. I also upgraded spice-client up to 0.6.3 , what requires pixman-0.18.4-1.fc14.src.rpm rebuilt on SL 6 and install pixman & pixman-devel. In particular, “Add Hardware” wizard Graphics->Spice Server allows
to avoid manual updating XML VM’s profile as suggested in [1].
Two KVMs have been tested positive :-

--os-type=linux --os-variant=virtio26 \

Old way with modifying XML definition and connecting via command would work as well.
Create script /usr/tmp/qemu-spice :
cat /usr/tmp/qemu-spice
#!/bin/bash

exec /usr/bin/qemu-kvm $* \
-vga qxl \
-spice port=5930,disable-ticketing

# chmod 755 /usr/tmp/qemu-spice

and add to root’s .bashrc
export PATH=/usr/tmp:$PATH

Create via virt-manager Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop (alpha 3) KVM and install QXL driver via Synaptic manager. Say name of VM created is NATTY. Then run :-
# virsh dumpxml NATTY > Natty.xml
Edit XML file as follows

1. Change emulator to /usr/tmp/qemu-spice
2. Remove VIDEO section
3. Remove UUID section
4. Change VM’s name

Run :-
# virsh define Natty.xml
and new NATSP entry in Virt-Manager will be created. Start NATSP and connect via
# spicec -h localhost -p 5930
to NATSP

Attempt of qemu-kvm-0.14 patching via Gerd’s Hoffmann “spice/qxl: locking fix for qemu-kvm” on F14

Following bellow is attempt to test mentioned patch to resolve problem with loading KVM with “-vga qxl” by /usr/bin/qemu-kvm (v. 0.14) on Fedora 14 ( Libvirt Preview Environment ) . View : http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/84704/. Test was successful for SL6,F14,W2K3,W7 KVMs (without QXL driver installed) and failed on Ubuntu 10.10 KVM no matter of presence or absence of QXL driver.
Download corresponding SRC RPM :-
# wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/jforbes/virt-preview/fedora-14/SRPMS/qemu-0.14.0-2.fc14.src.rpm
Install it :-
# rpm -iv qemu-0.14.0-2.fc14.src.rpm
# cd
#cd rpmbuild/SPECS

Patch ../SOURCES/qemu-kvm-0.14.0.tar.gz via Gerd’s Hoffmann “spice/qxl: locking fix for qemu-kvm” .Then build

Windows 7 KVM running in spice terminal

Virtio install Windows 7 KVM (x64/x86) on Fedora 14

Fedora 14 has version of Libvirt 0.8.7 and qemu-0.13.0-1 installed via Rawhide Preview Repo. However, straightforward attempt to virt-install Windows 7 on virtio boot device fails to detect device after viostor.sys gets preloaded. It’s a known bug [1]. Actually, thread at Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 656353 contains required patch , but doesn’t contain any explanation how to rebuild and reinstall required package python-virtinst-0.500.4-1.fc14.noarch.rpm. Detailed workaround for this issue follows bellow as well as build of new package python-virtinst-0.500.5-1.fc14.noarch.rpm based on recent release virtinst 0.500.5 (Friday January 14, 2011)
Download and install python-virtinst-0.500.4-1.fc14.src.rpm. Apply patch bellow to /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/virtinst-0.500.4/virtinst/Installer.py per Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 656353 ( [1] ) and recreate /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/virtinst-0.500.4.tar.gz. Then

Virtio install Windows 7 KVM (x64/x86) on Ubuntu 10.04.1 Server via DNJL PPA

First of all setup DNJL PPA to upgrade KVM/QEMU up to Qemu 0.12.5 & Libvirt 0.8.3 on Ubuntu Lucid Server and download the most recent Fedora virtio-win drivers from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/bin as floppy and ISO image. Notice , that same virt-install will run fine on KVM Server Ubuntu 10.10 due to required versions of Libvirt & Qemu appear to be installed by default.

Proceed with install W7 KVM on virtio bootup device

virt-install --name W7VIRT64 --ram 4096 --disk /dev/sda8,bus=virtio \
--disk /usr/tmp/virtio-win-1.1.16.vfd,device=floppy --os-variant win7 \
--cdrom /usr/tmp/Win7_64.iso --cpu 2












Set up virtio network driver

Virtio install Windows 7 KVM (x64/x86) on Scientific Linux 6 (alpha 4)

Download and install virtio-win-1.1.16-0.el6.noarch.rpm via http://rghost.net/3412907
Before starting install KVM make some changes to “Details”
1. Attach virtio-win-1.1.16.vfd as floppy.
2. Change type of boot up device to “Virtio”







Load virtio.sys driver from floppy to detect boot up device :-





Complete install as usual :-





Shutdown KVM , change type of bridge “br0″ to “virtio” and attach CDROM virtio-win-1.1.16.iso to KVM. Then load KVM with broken Network , load “Device manager” and “Update driver for Ethernet Adapter” via attached RH CDROM

Set up RH VirtIO SCSI&Network drivers on Windows 7, Windows XP KVMs at KVM-QEMU Instance on F14

Create Windows KVM via virt-manager as usual. Download Latest VirtIO Win drivers from Fedora. Location is http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/bin/. Notice also , that the last virtio-win-1.1.16-0.el6.noarch.rpm ( Last Redhat virtio signed windows driver ) been installed on Scientific Linux 6, allows to perform install Windows 7 KVM directly on “virtio” boot up device via loading drivers from virtio-win-1.1.16.vfd been attached as floppy to KVM before installation starts up. Virtio-win-1.1.16-0.el6.noarch.rpm may be downloaded in meantime at http://rghost.net/3412907. View for details
Virtio install Windows 7 KVM (x64/x86) on Scientific Linux 6 (alpha 4)
Download files virtio-win-1.1.11-0.vfd and ISO image virtio-win-1.1.11-0.iso to Fedora’s FS. Create fake qcow2 file :-

# cd /vms
# qemu-img create -f qcow2 fake.qcow2 1G

Procedure bellow is specific for 32-bit version of W7, 64-bit version requires KVM shut down (via my experience) to add fake.qcow2 disk and virtio-win-1.1.16.iso as CDROM. Then load KVM and Update broken SCSI driver ( “Device Manager”) via attached CD.
Start Windows KVM and switch to “Details”
1. Attach virtio-win-1.1.11-0.iso as CDROM to KVM
2. Add fake.qcow2 as “virtio” disk





Now switch to “Console” . “Add New Hardware” Wizard should be already up and running. Install required driver from attached
CDROM.







Shutdown Windows KVM . Remove fake qcow2 disk and change type Windows boot up disk to “Virtio”



Start up Windows KVM and make sure driver has been properly installed



Same procedure works for 32-bit version Windows 7 KVM









Shutdown Windows 7 KVM . Remove fake disk and switch type of boot up device to “Virtio”



Boot up Windows 7 KVM again and make sure RH VirtIO SCSI Driver has been properly installed



To install RH Virtio Ehernet Adapter via same CDROM :
1. Change bridge type “br0″ to “Virtio”
2. Start KVM with broken network
3. Go to “Control Panel=>Devices Management
4. Update Network driver via Fedora’s CDROM attached

2010 in review

The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:

The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.

Crunchy numbers

The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 180,000 times in 2010. If it were an exhibit at The Louvre Museum, it would take 8 days for that many people to see it.

In 2010, there were 44 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 111 posts. There were 176 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 86mb. That’s about 3 pictures per week.

The busiest day of the year was September 9th with 1,135 views. The most popular post that day was GNOME 3 at Xen 4.0.1 (2.6.32.21 pvops) on top of F14 (rawhide).

Where did they come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were wiki.xensource.com, linuxtoday.com, wiki.xen.org, librenix.com, and lxer.com.

Some visitors came searching, mostly for xen grub2, grub2 xen, suse 11.3, ubuntu 10.04 xen, and ubuntu server.

KVM & Virtio (disk/nic) on Scientific Linux 6 (alpha 3)

KVM as a “full virtualization” is a nice feature because it allows you to run any operating system virtualized. However, it’s relatively slow because the hypervisor has to emulate actual physical devices such as RTL8139 network cards and the most recent SeaBios emulates IDE interface.This fragment from KVM guest dmesg log is fair enough :-

[ 0.129740] ata_piix 0000:00:01.1: version 2.13
[ 0.129802] ata_piix 0000:00:01.1: setting latency timer to 64
[ 0.129954] scsi0 : ata_piix
[ 0.130522] scsi1 : ata_piix
[ 0.130552] ata1: PATA max MWDMA2 cmd 0x1f0 ctl 0x3f6 bmdma 0xc000 irq 14
[ 0.130554] ata2: PATA max MWDMA2 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 bmdma 0xc008 irq 15

Virtio is a Linux standard for network and disk device drivers where just the guest’s device driver “knows” it is running in a virtual environment, and cooperates with the hypervisor. This enables guests to get high performance network and disk operations, and gives most of the performance benefits of paravirtualization.
If you want to install a machine with virtio drivers you should add these lines to your virt-install command:

--os-type=linux \
--os-variant=virtio26 \

Using this command you enable the virtio drivers at install time on SL 6 (alpha 3)

Activating virtio driver via virt-manager

Set up KVM on Scientific Linux 6 Server (alpha 3)

Include virtualization group during initial install. Attempt to start virt-manager pops up an error message

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 413, in
main()
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 344, in main
appname + "-icon.svg")
GError: Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '/usr/share/virt-manager/pixmaps/virt-manager-icon.svg'

To be able to start virt-manager run as root to re-create the ‘gdk-pixbuf.loaders’ file :-

/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders-64 > /etc/gtk-2.0/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf.loaders

or just comment out lines 343,344 in /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py to allow virt-manager to start . Set up bridged networking as follows :-
To create network initscripts in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory it is necessary to create 2 config files. The first one (ifcfg-eth0) defines your physical network interface, and says that it will be part of a bridge:

# cat ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:16:76:D6:C9:45
ONBOOT=yes
BRIDGE=br0
NM_CONTROLLED=no

Obviously change the HWADDR to match your actual NIC’s address.
The second config file (ifcfg-br0) defines the bridge device:

# cat ifcfg-br0
DEVICE=br0
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
DELAY=0
NM_CONTROLLED=no

# chkconfig NetworkManager off
# chkconfig network on
# service network start

Attempt to load 2.6.37-rc1 under Xen 4.0.1 on top of Ubuntu 10.04.1 Server

Xen Core Dom0 support features started to merge mainline Linux during 2.6.37 merge window. In particular, kernel may be loaded under Xen, daemon xend starts in Dom0. However, xen backend devices are not yet in the vanilla kernel. It’s impossible to create and start guests. Please, view for details Re: [PATCH v4 00/10] xen: initial domain support

Set up XenLinux kernel 2.6.34.7 aka Suse under Xen 4.0.1 on top of F14

Straight forward attempt to load 2.6.34.7 kernel xenified aka Suse under Fedora’s 14 Xen 4.0.1 generates following output to console :-

Starting udev: udevd-work[591]: kernel-provided name 'pci_iomul' and NAME= 'xen/pci_iomul' disagree, please use SYMLINK+= or change the kernel to provide the proper name

udevd-work[539]: kernel-provided name 'evtchn' and NAME= 'xen/evtchn' disagree, please use SYMLINK+= or change the kernel to provide the proper name

Situation described in [1] for pvops kernel on May 26 2010 now occurs for XenLinux kernel. In case [1],[2] all pvops xen backend devices have been renamed like xen_*. To get rid of messages above it’s also possible via patch xen-backend.rules keeping kernel’s names for xen backend devices the same

XenLinux kernel 2.6.34.7 aka Suse under Xen 4.0.1 on top of Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop

Following post is a brief instruction of port 2.6.34.7 xenified aka Suse kernel to Ubuntu 10.10 desktop , to support Dom0 under Xen 4.0.1. Vanilla 2.6.34.7 gets patched via Andrew Lyon’s rebased patch set xen-patches-2.6.34-5.tar.bz2.
Kernel configuration is similar kernel-xen config on Suse’s 11.3 . Xen back-end,evtchn,gntdev divices get loaded via /etc/init.d/xend at startup. Xen 4.0.1 and Libvirt 0.8.3 installations are just the same as in [1].

# cd /usr/src/xenLinux/
# wget http://gentoo-xen-kernel.googlecode.com/files/xen-patches-2.6.34-5.tar.bz2

Untar linux-2.6.34.7.tar.bz2 and apply patches.

Set up Xen 4.0.1 & Libvirt 0.8.3 on top of Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop

Following bellow is brief instruction of mentioned set up loading xen back-end, evtchn, gntdev devices separately from pvops kernel 2.6.32.24 under Xen 4.0.1 on top Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat Desktop. Due to Desktop environment we have first to disable Network Manager and restart networking manually updating /etc/network/interfaces. This step is not required on the Ubuntu 10.10 Server. Libvirt 0.8.3 is available via Maverick Meerkat repositories. Two patches have been applied to official 4.0.1 tar’s ball. First one updates xen back-end rules, second one allows to load Ubuntu 10.10 PV Guest via standard trick with install same HVM first and using a ready image to load PV DomU via pygrub.

Disable Network manager

# chkconfig network-manager off
# gedit /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Restart netwoking :-

# /etc/init.d/networking restart
