[Qemu-devel] [Bug 393430] Re: kvm: use PulseAudio instead of ALSA

2011-08-26 Thread Dave Walker
The Debian big referenced suggested using ALSA over OSS, this bug is
related to favouring PA over ALSA.  The Debian issue was resolved with:

--- kvm-79+dfsg/debian/rules
+++ kvm-82+dfsg/debian/rules
@@ -141,7 +141,9 @@
 config.status: configure

+--audio-card-list=ac97 adlib cs4231a gus
 
 
 build-arch: patch config.status build-arch-stamp


However, the current debian qemu-kvm package contains:
--audio-drv-list=alsa oss sdl pa \
--audio-card-list=ac97 es1370 sb16 cs4231a adlib gus hda \


Neither of these configure options are set in debian/rules.  This probably 
requires further investigation.

Thanks.

  kvm: use PulseAudio instead of ALSA

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete
Status in “kvm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “kvm” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: kvm

  kvm in jaunty prefers to use OSS drivers rather than ALSA:
  # dpkg -l | grep kvm
  ii  kvm1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu11Full virtualization on i386 
and amd64 hardwa
  # kvm -audio-help | grep ^Name
  Name: oss
  Name: alsa
  Name: sdl
  Name: pa
  Name: none
  Name: wav
  #

  Because of that, once a virtual machine with working audio card
  starts, the kvm grabs the audio card entirely for itself. Any
  subsequent operations on audio card either from the host machine, or
  from the other audio-enabled virtual machines lock up (apparently
  awaiting on on access to the audio card).

  The bug is echo of the corresponding debian bug:

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 723871] Re: qemu-kvm-0.14.0 Aborts with -vga qxl

2011-03-02 Thread Dave Walker
@Serge, I had to re-target your branch (and merge) against 0.14.0~rc1
+noroms-0ubuntu4 as *ubuntu3 had already been uploaded for a different
fix, and the package-importer failed to suck it in.

virsh save is very slow - it writes the image at around 1MB/sec on my test 
system.

(I think I saw a bug report for this issue on Fedora's bugzilla, but I can't 
find it now...)

Confirmed under Karmic.

2010-06-14 Thread Dave Walker
Re-introducing qemu-kvm, as commentary on qemu-devel mailing list
suggest there could be a timing concern meaning poor performance.
Leaving Libvirt on this report, as upstream libvirt have quoted improved
performance adjusting the block size for dd.  However, Qemu feel that
the real issue is in the qemu/kvm code.

Thanks.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 391879] Re: migrate exec ignores exit status

2010-05-20 Thread Dave Walker
This is a bug and has been reported upstream, it is unlikely to be fixed
at the distribution level and therefore anyone interested in working on
this bug should contribute a patch to the upstream project.  This will
then filter down to Ubuntu when it is merged mainline.  Marking Won't
Fix against the Ubuntu package.

Thanks for reporting this bug.

Bug description:

Using

  migrate exec:cat  foo; false

in the monitor results in the state of the VM being written to foo, as 
expected, and the VM then being stopped. This is surprising, as I think it 
stands to reason that in case of a failed migrate-exec process, which is what a 
non-zero exit status implies to me, the VM should continue.

This happens when I add my Creative ZEN to a virtual machine running XP. The 
device is recognised well at first and drivers are installed correctly. But 
when trying to connect windows crashes with the classic blue screen It 
complains about something like usbohci.sys, I can't read well because it 
crashes too fast.
I have also tried with another virtual machine running Vista, same results.
Any help would be really appreciated!

I'm using the module kvm-amd with Ubuntu 8.04
