Re: [Xen-devel] [DEBUGGING Xen 4.4.1/Qxl/Debian unstable] QXL drivers don't want to install

[Goonie Windy <monsieur.goonie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok Fabio, thanks to your configure, some bits of hacking the install part and lots of advises/support/encouragements ;) from Mark Pryor I ended up

Âinstalling 4.5RC4 with QXL support on Deb8 unstable.

So now what do you want me to test fabio?

I have win7 x64 / win 2k8R2 vms in test mode ready to install drvers.

the numerous troubles I went through are related in the IRCcopy attached.

I actually couldn't build rombios and used seabios provided by the system -like you-

I should try to compile/find latest qxl now.

See you in 2K15.

ok, I'm trying to patch the files with yours,

I need to do it manually right?

git apply is not working here.

If the patch need a "refresh" the conflict should be solved manually.
Taking the patch updated from here probably it can be applied to latest 4.5-rc:

There is an error in pageqs describing how to compile from sources as in 4.5

cat .config
PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG=--install-layout=deb

is in fact in .INSTALL

If also you use debian you can use make debball that is better for install/remove easy and fast test build.

And for example I use this configure options with xen 4.5:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-blktap1 --disable-qemu-traditional --disable-rombios --with-system-seabios=/usr/share/seabios/bios-256k.bin --with-extra-qemuu-configure-args="--enable-spice --enable-usb-redir" --disable-blktap2
I use wheezy building updated packages from sid: seabios 1.7.5-1, spice 0.12.5-1, spice-protocol 0.12.7-1 and usbredir 0.7-1.
If you use jessie instead you have all packages updated.

About python I'm using this workaround (before execute configure) even if probably is not the best:
Config.mk
-PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG ?= --prefix="$(PREFIX)"
+PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG ?=

well figured out it is because you have to "enforce" locale:Â export LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8 if keyboard mapping is else

Trying to compile xen 4.5RC4 in order to test your patch I end up with these errors compiling the Seabios directories,

Hello Fabio,

Sure thing I will help debug the win7 and the win8 versions.

Where to start?

I'll try to see if I can patch with patch from https://github.com/Fantu/Xen/commit/fadecf8d6ee0e8c7e421fafba67aa11879e8b8fe and if not will post result.


best regards,

I tried to install Qxl drivers under win7/win 2k8/win8.1ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ allÂÂÂÂÂÂ x64 versions, without any luck.


admin message is as follow:

Does
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-05/msg03214.html

can it be installed on my xen stack?

Yes but probably require a small refresh, I always posted the patch based on updated xen-unstable.

Here qxl patch refreshed for xen 4.5 if needed:
https://github.com/Fantu/Xen/commit/fadecf8d6ee0e8c7e421fafba67aa11879e8b8fe

Here the latest spice guest tools for windows with qxl driver included:
http://www.spice-space.org/download/binaries/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-tools-0.74.exe

Windows >=8 and similar require a new qxl drivers, there are a beta build but latest tried some months ago have serious bug and I not found recent build full working on windows 8.

On xen windows 7 domUs qxl works good except a problem after save/restore and on linux domUs is not working, for now I not found exactly cause and solution.
On mailing list up to 2 years ago you can find many my mails about.
Any help to test it is appreciated.

Sorry for my bad english.

Also, can I get invited at xendevel irc ?
regards

Greg
