Should get blurb by Wed 17:51:30 <bdmc> I saw. 17:51:39 <raub> Other than that, we have Pilot 17:52:27 <raub> I saw you and noway2 have been at it. How is that going? 17:52:28 <bdmc> My big issues there have been networking. From Moya and Pilot, I can't see Matt's new machine on the network. ( IPv4-wise ) 17:53:10 <raub> I can take a look at that later on today 17:53:52 <bdmc> I have started building a new machine, using "virt-manager," this morning, and am running into network issues, too. When the installer attempts to auto-detect the networks, nothing. "DHCP doesn't seem to be working. Try manual?" 17:54:34 <raub> Could you send me the info? I can see about spooling up one using the command line there to see if it works 17:54:36 <bdmc> raub: I would love to work together, and see if a different set of eyes can see something different. 17:55:24 <raub> Sure thing. It will be in the evening though 17:55:37 <bdmc> If you have a good KVM machine configuration file, I would like to try that. Otherwise, I have been thinking of using one of my Xen ones. 17:55:46 <bdmc> I don't care when. 17:55:49 <raub> Sure thing 17:56:45 <bdmc> I suppose that I could try one of the existing samples, dargo or somehing, because the software hasn't really changed. 17:57:44 <raub> Sure 17:58:09 <bdmc> Quick question. It has been a while since I set this up --- Oh, yes. The IP assignments should come out of the DHCP configuration. ( Brain fade ) 17:58:49 <raub> Is that what you want or you can configure it as static IP? 17:59:31 <bdmc> Matt said something about the assigned IP address changing on reboot, so yes, Definitely Static. That is what I am trying with the current version, but I can't see the network. 18:00:56 <bdmc> Without a network, none of this matters. 18:01:04 <raub> Oh? Remind me later and I can give you commands tofind the current IP of a give VM (if assigned) 18:01:18 <bdmc> One of the virsh commands? 18:01:35 <bdmc> Didn't think of that. 18:01:56 <raub> Aha. I never use the GUI 18:03:00 <bdmc> I very rarely do. 18:03:07 <bdmc> I prefer the command line. 18:03:25 <raub> Good to hear 18:04:27 <raub> So, this evening I will login to moya and see if I can create a vm and get its IP. If you have done that already by then, let me know 18:04:53 <bdmc> I will. Here is what I see right now. 18:05:00 <bdmc> root@moya:/home/bdmc# virsh net-info 18:05:00 <bdmc> setlocale: No such file or directory 18:05:00 <bdmc> error: command 'net-info' requires <network> option 18:05:00 <bdmc> root@moya:/home/bdmc# virsh net-list 18:05:00 <bdmc> setlocale: No such file or directory 18:05:02 <bdmc> Name State Autostart Persistent 18:05:08 <bdmc> ---------------------------------------------------------- 18:05:08 <bdmc> root@moya:/home/bdmc# virsh iface-list 18:05:11 <bdmc> setlocale: No such file or directory 18:05:13 <bdmc> Name State MAC Address 18:05:15 <bdmc> --------------------------------------------------- 18:05:18 <bdmc> lo active 00:00:00:00:00:00 18:05:31 <bdmc> Comparing that to a Xen machine of mine: 18:05:39 <raub> Interesting, Sounds like moya is a bit boink too. We can fix that 18:05:39 <bdmc> root@benmhor:/home/bdmc# virsh net-list 18:05:39 <bdmc> Name State Autostart Persistent 18:05:39 <bdmc> ---------------------------------------------------------- 18:05:39 <bdmc> root@benmhor:/home/bdmc# virsh iface-list 18:05:39 <bdmc> Name State MAC Address 18:05:40 <bdmc> --------------------------------------------------- 18:05:42 <bdmc> eth0 active 00:23:54:61:1b:3e 18:05:45 <bdmc> lo active 00:00:00:00:00:00 18:06:00 <bdmc> xenbr0 active 2c:56:dc:7b:67:0a 18:06:00 <bdmc> So it looks as if no Network is all right, but no Interfaces? 18:07:16 <raub> Yeah. I thought I had looked at its internal network before. It is being listed in ifconfig or ip a 18:08:09 <bdmc> Yes, there is a big long list in ip a, but nothing in virsh. 18:09:14 <bdmc> Virt-manager has a "warning" when I am trying to set up the network device that "mactap" doesn't work. However, that is the only choice that it offers. 18:09:25 <raub> OK 18:10:01 <bdmc> I think that I will discard this version, and try again with a different approach. 18:10:07 <raub> K 18:10:19 <bdmc> I'll let you know how it goes before we get together. 18:10:33 <raub> Thanks 18:11:04 <bdmc> I was using a full, current, Debian, rather than that Ubuntu that Matt used. 18:11:23 <raub> Gotcha 18:11:58 <bdmc> However, not being able to see the network was a bit of a sticky point. 18:12:12 <raub> Very much so; makes it useless 18:12:34 <bdmc> Anyway, that's all that I have to report just now. 18:12:48 <raub> OK 18:12:58 <raub> Shall we end the meeting? 18:13:16 <bdmc> I can accept that. Up to you two. 18:15:28 <raub> jeoff: ? 18:15:49 <jeoff> Yeah, let's end the meeting 18:16:03 <raub> #endmeeting
