similar to: err from guestfs_launch

I am unable to convert a vm using virt-v2v. From the trace and debug logs I am unable to understand the cause of the problem. I assume it is a permission or configuration issue but I don't know where to start looking. The following command was issued: LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1 LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 virt-v2v -ic qemu+ssh://xxx at 192.168.xxx.xxx/system -o rhev -os 192.168.xxx.xxx:/mnt/exports -of

Use basename of external helper instead of 'no' for external supermin helpers. This gives a clear error messages what binary is actually missing, and it is now possible to install the missing package without recompiling libguestfs. In addition its now also possible to use private builds of supermin (if they are in PATH) with a given libguestfs binary package. Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering

Hello- I've recently upgraded from OEL 6.4 to OEL 6.8. Infiniband Hardware installed on the server prevents me from upgrading the OS version any higher. Kernel Version: Oracle Linux Server Red Hat Compatible Kernel (2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64) Since the upgrade, there have been problems with libguestfs-tools hanging, then timing out. I'd like to use the newest version of

Hi All, I am trying to run guestfish inside an Ubuntu instance running in VirtualBox. I'm running into problems, and my first question, is this setup even possible? I compiled and installed libguestfs-1.8.4. Running libguestfs-test-tool fails with the following output. Would appreciate any advice, Chris new guestfs handle 0x8b77958 ===== Test starts here ===== LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 library

As part of the oVirt Node[1] project, I'm going to P.O.C. a version of the node using febootstrap 2.x instead of livecd-creator. The main reasons in doing this is for allowing a r/w root filesystem without some hacky overlayfs and just to see if it can be done. On IRC, rwmjones mentioned a few issues he ran into with febootstrap 2.x where some rpms had %post scripts which aren't really

It looks to me that the windows 2008 image I am attempting to convert is not being detected as windows but is being updated as a Linux system. When PXE booted the server with the p2v image I ended up with this error: Failed to launch guestfs appliance. Try running again with LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 for more information The system image transferred and I was able to create an XML file to boot it under

Bash automatically resets euid to uid when it executes. This can mean that the effective user id of a program at the point it calls febootstrap-supermin-helper can be lost if any part of execution chain involved bash. This in turn can result in: * the generation of an incorrect checksum, which contains the uid. * the generation of supermin files with differing owners The -u and -g options allow

Hi all I am trying to run the dockerized version of linaro lava. Unfortunately it is not possible to start libguetsfs inside one of the containers. My settings are: Ubuntu Server 18.04.3, Docker version 18.09.7 running a Debian:stretch based contianer Running libguestfs-test-tool gives me the following output: root at e91c89e0874d:/# libguestfs-test-tool

Hi, First, I'd like to thank you for your nice effort of the febootstrap tool. I understand there are 2 major versions of this tool the first has the syntax of "febootstrap fedora-12 ./f12" while the second has the syntax "febootstrap --names ....." Is it correct? I also understand the second one is used only to create a minimal system. is it correct too? But what about

Hi all, On the most libguestfs commands (guestfish, virt-*), I have always the same message: "febootstrap-supermin-helper: ext2: parent directory not found: /lib: File not found by ext2_lookup" I'm aware of a similar bug with the old package [1]: "Note on febootstrap (may not be directly related to this bug): You need 3.14 to work around that. I would recommend using at least

Hello everyone, I am using libguestfs on CentOS 7.2. I am trying to modify Red Hat 5.4 disks. I am using C/C++.

I am trying to mount a windows 10 backup .vhdx file.

I have febootstrap ported to and working on Arch, but there are a few packages missing from the main Arch repos, and the packages need to be in the main repos for the febootstrap sequence to work. So I have a few quick questions, first, how well does the supermin app work, without augeas, are zfs, gfs and hfs used only for mounting those filesystems inside the vm image, and I noticed that there is

Hi Rich, I ran coverity against febootstrap's head and it spotted four leaks. This fixes them. The first patch plugs three. The second attempts to make the add_link function do what I'm guessing it was intended to do. As is, it was a no-op. >From 7c2ff55613598a1295e213cef36600ad61da7ed6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering <meyering at redhat.com> Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012
