Should get blurb by Wed 17:51:30 I saw. 17:51:39 Other than that, we have Pilot 17:52:27 I saw you and noway2 have been at it. How is that going? 17:52:28 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 I can take a look at that later on today 17:53:52 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 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 raub: I would love to work together, and see if a different set of eyes can see something different. 17:55:24 Sure thing. It will be in the evening though 17:55:37 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 I don't care when. 17:55:49 Sure thing 17:56:45 I suppose that I could try one of the existing samples, dargo or somehing, because the software hasn't really changed. 17:57:44 Sure 17:58:09 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 Is that what you want or you can configure it as static IP? 17:59:31 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 Without a network, none of this matters. 18:01:04 Oh? Remind me later and I can give you commands tofind the current IP of a give VM (if assigned) 18:01:18 One of the virsh commands? 18:01:35 Didn't think of that. 18:01:56 Aha. I never use the GUI 18:03:00 I very rarely do. 18:03:07 I prefer the command line. 18:03:25 Good to hear 18:04:27 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 I will. Here is what I see right now. 18:05:00 root@moya:/home/bdmc# virsh net-info 18:05:00 setlocale: No such file or directory 18:05:00 error: command 'net-info' requires option 18:05:00 root@moya:/home/bdmc# virsh net-list 18:05:00 setlocale: No such file or directory 18:05:02 Name State Autostart Persistent 18:05:08 ---------------------------------------------------------- 18:05:08 root@moya:/home/bdmc# virsh iface-list 18:05:11 setlocale: No such file or directory 18:05:13 Name State MAC Address 18:05:15 --------------------------------------------------- 18:05:18 lo active 00:00:00:00:00:00 18:05:31 Comparing that to a Xen machine of mine: 18:05:39 Interesting, Sounds like moya is a bit boink too. We can fix that 18:05:39 root@benmhor:/home/bdmc# virsh net-list 18:05:39 Name State Autostart Persistent 18:05:39 ---------------------------------------------------------- 18:05:39 root@benmhor:/home/bdmc# virsh iface-list 18:05:39 Name State MAC Address 18:05:40 --------------------------------------------------- 18:05:42 eth0 active 00:23:54:61:1b:3e 18:05:45 lo active 00:00:00:00:00:00 18:06:00 xenbr0 active 2c:56:dc:7b:67:0a 18:06:00 So it looks as if no Network is all right, but no Interfaces? 18:07:16 Yeah. I thought I had looked at its internal network before. It is being listed in ifconfig or ip a 18:08:09 Yes, there is a big long list in ip a, but nothing in virsh. 18:09:14 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 OK 18:10:01 I think that I will discard this version, and try again with a different approach. 18:10:07 K 18:10:19 I'll let you know how it goes before we get together. 18:10:33 Thanks 18:11:04 I was using a full, current, Debian, rather than that Ubuntu that Matt used. 18:11:23 Gotcha 18:11:58 However, not being able to see the network was a bit of a sticky point. 18:12:12 Very much so; makes it useless 18:12:34 Anyway, that's all that I have to report just now. 18:12:48 OK 18:12:58 Shall we end the meeting? 18:13:16 I can accept that. Up to you two. 18:15:28 jeoff: ? 18:15:49 Yeah, let's end the meeting 18:16:03 #endmeeting
