I could install a new virtual machine with the graphical console without any problem. I tried to get access to the console via "xm console <newDomU>" and i got it. But there were some error messages: # xm console 17 [ 0.128388] PCI: Fatal: No config space access function found [ 0.155256] bootsplash: found, but framebuffer can't handle it!

To this other domain which I were creating earlier with vm-install i didn't have access to with xm console anymore. My changes: I replaced extra="xencons=tty " => extra=" " and nographic=1 => vfb=['type=vnc,vncunused=1'] After "xm create .." I could successfully get access to "xm console .."

The welcome message: Welcome to openSUSE 11.4 "Celadon" - Kernel 2.6.37.6-0.5-xen (tty1). So my problems obviously have to do with the extra="xencons=tty " in config file.

I too have seen this problem. It typically occurs after the vm reboots. When I initially start up the vm I'm able to connect with "xm console <domain>", however after the vm reboots and definitely if the vm is saved and then restored I can no longer connect to the console. This worked under opensuse 11.2 and the xen 3.x version that was shipped with it. This problem only occurred once I upgraded to opensuse 11.4 and xen 4.x.

Was the VM created using vm-install using os11.4, or was it created using os11.2 and then upgraded to 11.4 with the issue appearing after the upgrade?

The VM was created in 11.2 manually (not using vm-install) and then upgraded to 11.4 and the issue appeared after the upgrade. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm not building from source, so these paths aren't very helpful. Where do these patches apply on a live system?

You can patch the python code directly with no need to build packages. Save /usr/lib64/python/site-packages/xen/xend/XendCheckpoint.py and /usr/lib64/python/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py before applying the patch and then e.g. # cd /usr/lib64/python/site-packages/ # patch -p3 < /path/to/patch # rcxend restart

If this fixed bugs in SLES, any particular reason that it's not being pushed to opensuse?

It was just reported in SLES, with customer providing positive feedback on the patch. The fix will be pushed in next SLES update, and next openSUSE one if the patch fixes your problem :-). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Additionally I added a graphical console via the graphical yast. After that I saw under 'console' something like tty = "/dev/pts/<id>" which was not there before - I think the same thing as Jon wrote in comment #7 Second: I tried your patches. But the original XendDomainInfo.py from your patches must be different from the XendDomainInfo.py on my server. patch gives some rejects. So I manually patched both files and tried to run vm-install. But there are still the same errors. I attach my original XendDomainInfo.py and the patch I have been creating. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I then saved that vm and restored it and I am able to connect to the console.

After updating and rebooting the dom0 (without shutting down the guests) I had no access to the console again. But rebooting the guests "repairs" it.

What do you mean by "rebooting the dom0 without shutting down guests"? Guests have to get shutdown, saved, or migrated away on dom0 shutdown or reboot. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, with ${xm_cmd} being xl now, that does not really work because it lacks the --force knob. sigh...

In 12.1/Factory yes. But this bug is 11.4 where xm_cmd doesn't exist in xendomains script. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In yast, create a PV guest with "No Graphics support". The GUI can not connect to the guest and suggests to use xm console (I dont have the exact wording). This works in an uptodate sles11sp1 and 12.1, where an 'xterm -e xm console <vm-uuid>' is started. Comparing the .py files from sp1 and 11.4 shows no related differences, other than xenpaging and extid related calls in 11.4. While booting into 11.4 I noticed that xenconsoled is not running, it cant connect to xenstored. 11.4 has still the xencommons script even if the .changes file says: * Di Sep 20 2011 ohering@suse.de - bnc#691256 - remove /etc/init.d/xencommons, its unused and breaks upgrading/downgrading of the xen-tools package because this runlevel script remains enabled in this sles11sp1 package Looking at the spec file, the actual rm command and other related changes are missing. After insserv -r xencommons and rebooting the system I was able to launch a PV guest with "No Graphics support". Frank, does that fix the issue you were seeing? At least for me a PV guest can be saved/restored and also setting /etc/sysconfig/xendomains:XENDOMAINS_AUTO_ONLY= to false works, the guest is saved on shutdown and restored and stared on boot. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
