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

This is not useful. You need to do something like: exec /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -s

Unfortunately, placing the link into the /boot does not work. libguestfs-test-tool failes with the same message: ************************************************************ * IMPORTANT NOTICE * * When reporting bugs, include the COMPLETE, UNEDITED * output below in your bug report. *

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

I had a look at how the Tiny Core Linux ISO is arranged. It loads the main operating system root partition as a single large initramfs, with optional modules loaded

Hi, I am trying to get libguestfs-test-tool working on ubuntu. The first problem I had was that HiveX won't compile on ubuntu to due to some missing symbols (rpl-getopt, I see this has already been reported). Second problem is that if HiveX is not available, guestfish doesn't link because code refers to symbols which aren't compiled into libguestfs (I was able to work around this by

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

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

Thanks again, but when I run the command "sudo update-guestfs-appliance" the result is "unpacking /tmp/superminef3fb7da4d1971287149691a8361ae0d.tmp/syslinux_3%3a4.05+dfsg-6+deb8u1_amd64.deb ... unpacking /tmp/superminef3fb7da4d1971287149691a8361ae0d.tmp/sysv-rc_2.88dsf-41ubuntu6_all.deb ... unpacking

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.
