xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory
Hello Community, I encountered an error while running "xm console domU". Here is the running script: # xm console domU xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory I googled and found out that this issue is mostly result from forgetting starting xenconsole service. However, after I started xenconsole, the issue is still there. Please see: # /usr/sbin/xenconsoled # xm console domU xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory Can anyone take a look at this issue? Any suggestions will be appreciated, -- Su Zhang Ph.D Candidate Computing and Information Sciences Kansas State University _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users

Re: xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory
Thanks Gavin, But it seems that the approach doesn''t work for my case. As you can see from the following, after I killed the xenconsoled and restart it, the issue is still there. [root@XenTester su]# ps -eaf | grep xencon root 2898 1 0 12:39 ? 00:00:00 xenconsoled --pid-file=/var/run/xenconsoled.pid root 17101 30154 0 21:29 pts/1 00:00:00 grep xencon [root@XenTester su]# kill -9 2898 [root@XenTester su]# xenconsoled restart [root@XenTester su]# xm list Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 2806 2 r----- 3320.7 f13 5 768 1 -b---- 11.6 [root@XenTester su]# xm console f13 xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory Any comments will be appreciated, Thanks again, On Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 7:01 PM, Gavin Jones <gjones@where2getit.com> wrote:> Hi, > > This happens to me often, usually right after booting dom0.

Like xencomms? I''ve actually used xencomms and xend, also I reinstalled the domU (f13 here). However, the issue is still there.

If this is an HVM domain then it is possible that it simply doesn''t have a text console which you can connect to with xl console. The "Could not read tty from store" message is often indicative of this. It appears you have configured VNC for this domain, have you tried connecting a vncviewer to port 5901 on the host? e.g. vncviewer localhost:1 or localhost::5091 (check the vncviewer manpage, I''m not sure of the syntax). Perhaps virt-* includes a command to do this for you automatically? If you want a text console from an HVM guest then you can do the virt-install equivalent of adding series = ''pty'' to your guest configuration. I''m afraid I don''t know how to actually do that with virt-install though. If this is a PV guest then I have no idea what might be wrong. Ian.

Did you try connecting to the VNC as I suggested? Have you looked in /var/log/xen to see if there are any interesting messages under there? What version of Xen are you running and where did you get it from (e.g. self-built vs. packages)? If you are just interested in getting a domain up and running ASAP then I would strongly suggest you use the Xen packages supplied by your distribution rather than building them yourself. I''m not sure which distro you are running though. Ian.

Re: xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory
Hallo, if it is a pv then look if the directory /var/log/xen/console exists. If some logging options in /etc/default/xen* are enabled xenconsoled does not start on boot. Because it could not write to /var/log/xen/console/hypervisor.log. The make install does not create the missing directory (4.1.2) . I run in this problem today. I hope the above helps you.

Getting something running with "known good" packages might have been a useful first step before attempting to build something yourself but now that you have taken that leap we may as well continue to try and figure out what is going on.

Interestingly, the file /var/log/xen/console doesn''t exist on my machine. There is no any file or directory called /etc/default/xen*. So how did you address the similar problem?

This may be OK if those options are =y in your kernel configuration or it may be a problem if they are =m. Can you attach your kernel config please.

Sorry I''m not quite familiar with the Linux kernel structure.If you got it by cloning git then "git show" will include the changeset ID. One other useful bit of information would be the output of xenstore-ls -fp while the domain is (apparently) running and you cannot connect to the console. Also "ps auxf" might be useful too. Ian.
