[Fedora-xen] Change xen package owner away from xen-maint?

Hey folks.

Right now the package owner for xen in fedora is the xen-maint alias account.
Originally this was an alias that was mapped to various @redhat folks who were
doing xen development, and was used for both fedora and internal RHEL stuff.

Nowadays it's not really used in upstream/fedora land and fedora-virt-maint is
a better suited alias. Additionally @redhat isn't doing much xen work these
days so we should just have a single package owner which reflects reality.

So I propose we drop xen-maint as the package owner, and Michael can
'officially' take on package ownership. If that sounds fine I'll file a ticket
with fedora infrastructure to make the change (required AFAIK for alias
account changes).

Michael, does that sound good to you?

Thanks,
Cole

[Fedora-xen] Can't text install DomU

My approach is to install a DomU on top of a Fedora 16, 32 bit machine.
I don't have any X running, so I need a real text install. Anaconda
starts, but nothing happens after that. Below is the output. Hope
someone can help.

Hmm, looks like libvirt is generating console XML like:

    <console type='pty'>
      <target type='xen' port='0'/>
    </console>

There should be a pty path in there. That error message:

    error: Unable to open stream for '(null)': Bad address

Is coming from virsh console. Looks like there is already a bug for it:

[Fedora-xen] Error message after virt-install

I'm not able to install a guest OS. I give the following command on
my Fedora 16 machine, running i686:

'virt-install --connect xen:/// --os-type linux \
-l
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/16/Fedora/i386/os

--graphic none  --paravirt --virt-type=xen \
-x "serial console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200"'

I get the following output:

'Starting install...

I'm not able to reconnect. How can I solve this problem?

[Fedora-xen] Dom0 and colord

I'm testing Xen dom0 on a Fedora 16 i686 box. I notice a process called
/usr/libexec/colord, that leads to high cpu load, resulting in a
spinning cpu fan. The process also runs when Xen is not running, but then
the TIME reported by 'ps ax' is 0:00.

As I'm blind and don't use any X or GUI, I think I don't need the colord
process, so I did 'killall -9 /usr/libexec/colord'. However, this
doesn't work from a script, like /etc/rc.d/rc.local, and I need to do it
manually after every reboot.

Where is colord started, and how can I get rid of the process?

Thanks and regards,
Lars

Not yet, waiting for Ingo to stick them in his tree first. But will surely
CC GregKH to backport them.

[Fedora-xen] Boot errors

I installed Fedora 16 and then ran:


sudo yum install xen

Xen installed without errors and I rebooted. In the Grub2 list I selected Xen 4.1.2 and then selected the option: 

Fedora Linux, with Xen 4.1.2 and Linux 3.3.0-4.fc16.x86_64

The boot process starts (i notice that loading ramdisk is very short) and then shortly thereafter the boot fails and the system reboots without any error. 

I tried checking the boot log but I'm not sure I'm looking at the right log. 

The only problem I see in the boot is 

Started SYSV: sandbox, xguest and other apps that want to use pam_names$
Failed to start Xenstored - daemon managing xenstore file system
