similar to: [PATCH] launch: switch from -nographic to -display none

Hi, things are progressing slowly, but I feel that eventually I'll be getting there: supermin can be built on all Linux-based architectures that are part of Debian/unstable[1] -- (except for sparc, but I'll ignore that for now.) libguestfs on the other hand currently fails launching the appliance (necessary for running tests) on everything but x86 and mips. Apparently, qemu-system-arm

Dr. David Gilbert pointed out to me that the first line of the qemu -help output includes the qemu version, so we don't need to run qemu -version at all. This saves about 0.04s on the launch time when using the direct backend. --- src/launch-direct.c | 54 +++++++++++++++++++---------------------------------- 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+), 35 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/launch-direct.c

We don't have to always extract all files from the OVA archive. The OVA, as defined in the standard, is plain tar. We can work directly over the tar archive if we use correct 'offset' and 'size' options when defining the backing file for QEMU. This leads to improvements in speed and puts much lower requirement on available disk space. Signed-off-by: Tomáš Golembiovský

HDT 0.3.5 is out !

The -pre3 release is out and tends to be the last one before the release. This pre version adds two new features we thought it would be interesting to have in 0.3.5: - Reboot If your system features the reboot.c32 module, the "reboot" command will restart your computer. The floppy/iso images we provides includes this module to enable this feature. - Automatic Commands When starting

libguestfs has used double and triple underscores in identifiers. These aren't valid for global names in C++. (http://stackoverflow.com/a/228797) These large but completely mechanical patches change the illegal identifiers to legal ones. Rich.

The previous code duplicated a lot of common code for reading and writing the cache file per data field. This change simply factors out that common code. This makes it simpler to add new tests in future. This is just refactoring, it should have no effect. --- lib/qemu.c | 375 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------- 1 file changed, 238 insertions(+), 137 deletions(-)

Patches 1 & 2 were posted previously here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2016-May/msg00134.html Patch 3 is a hack so I can test this using my own version of qemu (the `-L ?' stuff is not upstream). Patch 4 is where the real action takes place: Replace the caching of qemu features in blob-like files with a sqlite database. Probably the best way to approach this patch is to

Hi all, I'm on Mac OS X 10.4... So I've got a small python script I need to run from R. However, to get the python script working, I need to have the shell that R calls get settings from my .bash_profile file, which apparently it doesn't currently (the shell R calls uses an older version of python, and also this older version of python can't see various python modules I have

NOTE: Not for upstream, yet. This depends on 3 non-upstream patches. - The qemu rework in libguestfs, which in turn depends on what Pino is up to. - Support for '-L ?' in qemu: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-05/threads.html#02596 - Support for bios-fast.bin in qemu: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-05/threads.html#02408 This commit

This commit uses -bios bios-fast.bin if available, which basically stops SeaBIOS from trying to do PCI probing during boot, which is a waste of time when using the -kernel option. v1 -> v2: - Rebase on top of Pino's work. This still has 3 dependencies: - The qemu memoization work (v2). - Support for '-L ?' in qemu:

Because of previous automated commits, such as changing 'guestfs___' -> 'guestfs_int_', several function calls no longer lined up with their parameters, and some lines were too long. The bulk of this commit was done using emacs batch mode and the technique described here: http://www.cslab.pepperdine.edu/warford/BatchIndentationEmacs.html The changes suggested by emacs were

This is the libguestfs companion patch to: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-September/msg00045.html Rich.

Inspired by libvirt's virCommand* internal mini-library, this adds some internal APIs for running commands. The first patch contains the new APIs. The subsequent patches change various parts of the library over to use it. Rich.

I'm pleased to announce a major new release of libguestfs. libguestfs is a library and a set of tools for accessing and modifying disk images and virtual machines. You can use this for viewing and editing files inside guests, scripting changes to VMs, monitoring disk used/free statistics, P2V, V2V, performing partial backups, cloning VMs, and much more.

qemu feature detection takes about 95ms on my laptop. The overhead is almost all due to the time taken by the glibc link loader opening the 170+ libraries that qemu is linked to (×2 because we need to run qemu twice). Fixing that is seriously hard work. Therefore memoize the results of guestfs_int_test_qemu. This is keyed on the size and mtime of the qemu binary, so if the user changes the

Hi, this is a prototype of something I've around for some time. Basically it is about adding new appliances in addition to the main one currently used and kept up-to-date automatically: this way it is possible to create new appliances with extra packages, to be used in specific contexts (like virt-rescue, with more network/recovery tools) without filling the main appliance. It's still
