Package: libvirt0
Version: 0.7.6-1~bpo50+1
Severity: normal
Tags: lenny
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Using the virt-manager supplies the options if adding 'hardware' to the
vm. Normally I use this option to add storage devices. This version of
libvirt and virt-manager offer a number of options more than prior
version. It would be preferable that they actually add hardware.
Some items can't be added, and is indicated by a message if the feature
is not supported.
In this example, I've included a video device. Beginnig with the regular
.cfg file, the vm was created. Converting to .xml, I added the video
device. Here ia a portion;
<console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/2'>
<source path='/dev/pts/2'/>
<target port='0'/>
</console>
<input type='mouse' bus='usb'/>
<video>
<model type='cirrus'>
</model>
</video>
<graphics type='vnc' port='5904' autoport='no' keymap='en-us'/>
</devices>
In virsh, I defined and started the vm. Then from virsh, an xml dump,
the relevant portion;
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='00:16:3e:51:4e:51'/>
<source bridge='eth0'/>
<script path='/etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge'/>
<target dev='vif19.0'/>
</interface>
<console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/7'>
<source path='/dev/pts/7'/>
<target port='0'/>
</console>
<input type='mouse' bus='xen'/>
<graphics type='vnc' port='5904' autoport='no' keymap='en-us'/>
</devices>
No video device. The vm needs one and it hasn't got one.
Whil the vm is not running, one ought be able to use the virt vnc console
options under the Details tab to add hardware. Adding the video comes to
nothing. Other options are effective.
If the option chosen is not supported, the message not supported is
invoked.
For the video selection, no message is invoked. No error is reported or
registered. That being the case, it should be accepted. It doesn't get
added. libvirt normally can bomabard with error messages, but there are
none.
The video entry is straight from the virtlib docs that come with the
distro for that version. It just fails. Another freshly installed hvm vm
presumably has a video element installed in it, but it doesn't appear in
the hardware details tab list.
I've installed xen-3.3.3 from source into this lenny.
