Hi there, I am trying to write an article on virt-builder and managed to compile version 1.24.1 of libguestfs on Ubuntu 13.10 (I had mixed success with the git version and 1.25.x). When I am running virt-builder I am getting an error message: virt-builder: error: virt-resize failed Upon further investigation it turns out that there's a kernel panic when booting the freshly created image. Running the test-tool gives the following output: -------------------------------------------------------------------- LIBGUESTFS_PATH=/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/appliance LIBGUESTFS_CACHEDIR=/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/tmp LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/ruby/ext/guestfs:/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/src/.libs:/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/gobject/.libs LIBGUESTFS_TMPDIR=/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/tmp PATH=/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/align:/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/builder:/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/cat:/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/df:/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/edit:/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/erlang:/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/fish:/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/format:/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/fuse:/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/rescue:/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/resize:/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/sparsify:/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/sysprep:/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/test-tool:/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/tools:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games SELinux: sh: 1: getenforce: not found library version: 1.24.1 guestfs_get_append: (null) guestfs_get_backend: direct guestfs_get_autosync: 1 guestfs_get_cachedir: /home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/tmp guestfs_get_direct: 0 guestfs_get_hv: /usr/bin/kvm guestfs_get_memsize: 500 guestfs_get_network: 0 guestfs_get_path: /home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/appliance guestfs_get_pgroup: 0 guestfs_get_program: libguestfs-test-tool guestfs_get_recovery_proc: 1 guestfs_get_selinux: 0 guestfs_get_smp: 1 guestfs_get_tmpdir: /home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/tmp guestfs_get_trace: 0 guestfs_get_verbose: 1 host_cpu: x86_64 Launching appliance, timeout set to 600 seconds. libguestfs: launch: backend registered: unix libguestfs: launch: backend registered: uml libguestfs: launch: backend registered: libvirt libguestfs: launch: backend registered: direct libguestfs: launch: backend=direct libguestfs: launch: tmpdir=/home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/tmp/libguestfsC8azDe libguestfs: launch: umask=0002 libguestfs: launch: euid=1001 libguestfs: command: run: /usr/bin/supermin-helper libguestfs: command: run: \ --verbose libguestfs: command: run: \ -f checksum libguestfs: command: run: \ /home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/appliance/supermin.d libguestfs: command: run: \ x86_64 supermin helper [00000ms] whitelist = (not specified), host_cpu x86_64, kernel = (null), initrd = (null), appliance = (null) supermin helper [00000ms] inputs[0] /home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/appliance/supermin.d checking modpath /lib/modules/3.11.0-12-generic is a directory picked vmlinuz-3.11.0-12-generic because modpath /lib/modules/3.11.0-12-generic exists checking modpath /lib/modules/3.8.0-31-generic is a directory picked vmlinuz-3.8.0-31-generic because modpath /lib/modules/3.8.0-31-generic exists supermin helper [00000ms] finished creating kernel supermin helper [00000ms] visiting /home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/appliance/supermin.d supermin helper [00000ms] visiting /home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/appliance/supermin.d/base.img supermin helper [00000ms] visiting /home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/appliance/supermin.d/daemon.img supermin helper [00000ms] visiting /home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/appliance/supermin.d/hostfiles supermin helper [00040ms] visiting /home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/appliance/supermin.d/init.img supermin helper [00040ms] visiting /home/ofrommel/libguestfs-1.24.1/appliance/supermin.d/udev-rules.img supermin helper [00040ms] adding kernel modules supermin helper [00112ms] finished creating appliance libguestfs: checksum of existing appliance: 82bc0831de24ca2bd6a023ee99ee9d9351f4ea2cbc00a96791e7060658ed7a64 libguestfs: [00115ms] begin testing qemu features libguestfs: command: run: /usr/bin/kvm libguestfs: command: run: \ -nographic libguestfs: command: run: \ -help W: kvm binary is deprecated, please use qemu-system-x86_64 instead libguestfs: command: run: /usr/bin/kvm libguestfs: command: run: \ -nographic libguestfs: command: run: \ -version W: kvm binary is deprecated, please use qemu-system-x86_64 instead libguestfs: qemu version 1.5 libguestfs: command: run: /usr/bin/kvm libguestfs: command: run: \ -nographic libguestfs: command: run: \ -machine accel=kvm:tcg libguestfs: command: run: \ -device ?

You have to have the same packages installed on the host as are described in /etc/apt/sources.list. (It won't work at all if, for example, you've half-upgraded the host to some intermediate version of the distro.) This might fix it: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get build-dep libguestfs sudo apt-get install `cat appliance/packagelist`> BTW: the tools *do* require root access when running on Ubuntu because > it (the distro) has the kernel images readable only for root. I > understand that this is not libguestfs's fault, just sayin'...Yes, unfortunately a well-known Ubuntu bug that we can do nothing about: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/759725 You can do: sudo chmod go+r /boot/vmlinuz* to get around this, but unfortunately you have to do it every time there's a new kernel. BTW I am providing high quality *Fedora 20* packages that are based on libguestfs 1.24 + backports of all virt-builder features from upstream libguestfs: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.24.1-2.fc20 These are probably the best chance to get virt-builder working. We don't have an Ubuntu packager, and don't really spend much time on it. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Fedora Windows cross-compiler.

Re: [Libguestfs] Kernel panic with virt-builder etc.
I've just built libguestfs (from git) on Ubuntu 13.10 and it worked for me. Here's what I did: * Clone libguestfs from git: git clone https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs.git cd libguestfs * Create a file called 'localconfigure' containing: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- . localenv ./autogen.sh \ --prefix /usr \ --libdir /usr/lib \ --disable-static \ --enable-gtk-doc \ -C \ "$@" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * Create a file called 'localenv' containing: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # NB: -*- Makefile -*- AND a shell script. # Parallel test runs out of resources starting qemu, unclear why. export SKIP_TEST_PARALLEL_MOUNT_LOCAL=1 # Fails under valgrind because cpio subprocess has a memory leak. export SKIP_TEST_FILE_ARCHITECTURE_11=1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * Ensure Ubuntu 13.10 is fully up to date: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get builddep libguestfs # These are required for virt-builder and not included in the current # build deps on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install flex bison curl gnupg * Fix kernel permissions stupidity: sudo chmod go+r /boot/vmlinuz* * Build libguestfs by doing: chmod +x localconfigure ./localconfigure make -C po-docs update-po make make quickcheck # check it works * Run virt-builder against the public repo: # Have to set the environment variable because the ./run script # by default changes the virt-builder source: export VIRT_BUILDER_SOURCE=http://libguestfs.org/download/builder/index.asc ./run ./builder/virt-builder -l * Demonstration showing virt-builder building a Debian 6 image (template is cached, but this is all running inside a VM which is why it's slower than it would be on baremetal): $ ./run ./builder/virt-builder --version virt-builder 1.25.6 $ ./run ./builder/virt-builder --print-cache centos-6 no debian-6 cached debian-7 no fedora-18 no fedora-19 no scientificlinux-6 no ubuntu-10.04 no ubuntu-12.04 no ubuntu-13.10 no $ ./run ./builder/virt-builder debian-6 --size 10G [ 0.0] Downloading: http://libguestfs.org/download/builder/debian-6.xz [ 1.0] Creating disk image: debian-6.img [ 1.0] Uncompressing: http://libguestfs.org/download/builder/debian-6.xz [ 19.0] Running virt-resize to expand the disk to 10.0G [ 104.0] Opening the new disk [ 129.0] Setting a random seed [ 129.0] Random root password: Q64PFtMoQ5oMN4iS [did you mean to use --root-password?] [ 129.0] Finishing off Output: debian-6.img Total usable space: 9.6G Free space: 9.0G (93%) HTH, Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any software inside the virtual machine.
