Hi all, I finally got enough of a grasp on xen to create a guest system. But I think it didn't get created properly because I can't log in to it.
I tried xen-shell expecting a prompt but only got what looks like an unfinished sequence of boot args: -------- begin excerpt ------------ Activating swapfile swap...done. Setting up networking.... Configuring network interfaces...done. INIT: Entering runlevel: 2 Starting enhanced syslogd: rsyslogd. Starting periodic command scheduler: crond. ----------- end excerpt ------------ I also tried to ssh into it, but that gave no more joy: -------------- begin transcript -------- # ssh 192.168.153.110 ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.110 port 22: Connection refused --------------- end transcript --------- I can successfully shutdown (xm shutdown <domid>) and then restart (xm create -c <configfile>) the guest, but the result is the same. I'm wondering if maybe ssh didn't get installed. There is the following suspicious entry in /var/log/xen-tools/<machinename>.log ------------- begin excerpt --------- Running hook 70-install-ssh ['/usr/lib/xen-tools/lenny.d/70-install-ssh /tmp/obazSqjXy0'] -- Script /usr/lib/xen-tools/lenny.d/70-install-ssh starting Installing Debian packages ssh to prefix /tmp/obazSqjXy0 start-stop-daemon disabled / made a stub. Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... E: Couldn't find package ssh -------------- end excerpt ---------- There is an identical message for sudo. There are slightly different error messages for libc6-xen, locales, and util-linux-locales: ----------- begin excerpt ------------- Running hook 95-configure-locales ['/usr/lib/xen-tools/lenny.d/95-configure-locales /tmp/obazSqjXy0'] -- Script /usr/lib/xen-tools/lenny.d/95-configure-locales starting Installing Debian packages locales to prefix /tmp/obazSqjXy0 start-stop-daemon disabled / made a stub. Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Package locales is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package locales has no installation candidate ------------ end excerpt -------------- The mirror I was using was a DVD mount to /mnt. All the above pkgs should have been available: ------------- begin transcript ----------- # find /mnt -iname '*ssh*' -o -iname '*sudo*' -o -iname \ '*libc6-xen*' -o -i name '*locales*' ./pool/main/g/glibc/locales_2.7-18_all.deb ./pool/main/o/openssh ./pool/main/o/openssh/openssh-server_5.1p1-5_i386.deb ./pool/main/o/openssh/openssh-server-udeb_5.1p1-5_i386.udeb ./pool/main/o/openssh/openssh-client_5.1p1-5_i386.deb ./pool/main/o/openssh/openssh-client-udeb_5.1p1-5_i386.udeb ./pool/main/o/openssh-blacklist ./pool/main/o/openssh-blacklist/openssh-blacklist_0.4.1_all.deb ./pool/main/s/sudo ./pool/main/s/sudo/sudo_1.6.9p17-2_i386.deb ./pool/main/u/util-linux/util-linux-locales_2.13.1.1-1_all.deb --------------- end transcript --------- There were other bothersome messages in the log as well: -------------- begin excerpt --------- Script /usr/lib/xen-tools/lenny.d/20-setup-apt starting The use of a proxy detected.
