Qemu-kvm 1.0 & Spice 0.10.0 & Spice-Gtk-0.7.81 USB redirection for Ubuntu Precise, Oneiric and Linux Mint 12 (Lisa)

Following bellow is attempt to reproduce Hans de Goede blog entry at http://planet.spice-space.org/ on Ubuntu 12.04 and 11.10 with intend to build Qemu-kvm 1.0 with usb redirection network support per http://planet.spice-space.org/. Current build qemu-kvm for Ubuntu Precise is based on branch http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~jwrdegoede/qemu/.
View similar PPA for Ubuntu Oneiric and Linux Mint 12 (Lisa) Qemu-kvm 1.0 & Spice 0.10.0 & Spice-Gtk-0.7.81 USB redirection and Libvirt 0.9.7-2 for Ubuntu Oneiric(v.6).
Spice-Gtk-0.7.81 has been built up on current snapshot of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-gtk to obtain Spice-Gtk with usb redirection support working stable with Spice 0.10.0.

Builds have been done on Ubuntu Precise and Oneiric as well.Packaged version version of Spice-Gtk-0.7.81 is built up on mentioned git repository. Running autogen.sh with exported environment variable NOCONFIGURE allows to perform it in one build per Debian’s Spice-Gtk-0.7-3 building schema, however requiring several updates to debian/control and debian/rules due to snapshots have to be done from current git tree.Upgrade version of Libvirt up to 0.9.7-2 allows to avoid using “qemu” command line (libvirt 0.9.2) and follow http://planet.spice-space.org/ update VM’s XML profile under /etc/libvirt/qemu/ as suggested in second blog entry of Hans de Goede.

$ git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~jwrdegoede/qemu
$ cd qemu
$ git checkout -B qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir origin/qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir
$ cd ..
$ cp -R qemu qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir

Intermediate release :-

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~jwrdegoede/qemu/log/?h=qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir

clearly demonstrates that all usb redirection patches won’t be in Qemu-kvm 1.0 release

Libusb build is based on git://git.libusb.org/libusb.git – 1.0.9-rc1
libusb-1.0.9-rc1 release candidate.

Qemu-kvm 1.0-rc2 debian/rules contains:-

./configure \
–target-list=”x86_64-softmmu i386-softmmu x86_64-linux-user i386-linux-user” \
–prefix=/usr \
–interp-prefix=/etc/qemu-binfmt/%M \
–disable-blobs \
–disable-strip \
–enable-spice \
–enable-usb-redir \
$(conf_arch)

VirtFS support is available.

Upgrade version of Libvirt up to 0.9.7 allows to avoid using “qemu” command line (libvirt 0.9.2) and follow http://planet.spice-space.org/ update VM’s XML profile under /etc/libvirt/qemu/ as suggested in second blog entry of Hans de Goede (September 09, 2011):-
Change the first line from:


<domain type='kvm'>


to:


<domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>


And add the following lines at the end, above the “</domain>” line:


<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value='-readconfig'/>
<qemu:arg value='/etc/qemu/ich9-ehci-uhci.cfg'/>
<qemu:arg value='-chardev'/>

Per Daniel Berrange: In the same way that SSH allows you to setup hostname aliases in $HOME/.ssh/config, libvirt will now allow you to setup URI aliases in $HOME/.libvirt/libvirt.conf (if you are running unprivileged) or /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf (if you are running as root). NB do not confuse this file with libvirtd.conf which is a server side libvirtd daemon config file. Due to spice upgrade users should be able to run Spice server on 32-bit OS (Precise daily builds)

Per Hans de Goede :-
Select the options menu entry and make sure that the “auto redirect newly plugged in USB devices” option is checked. After this make sure the vm has keyboard focus (so close the options menu), plug in a new USB device and watch it show up in your vm

Xen 4.1.1 on Ubuntu 11.10

Description

Build Xen 4.1.1 with patch http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-4.1-testing.hg/rev/1976adbf2b80 (changeset 23104:1976adbf2b80 ). CS upstream-23044:d4ca456c0c25 removed from series. I understand that to remove it on Ubuntu i have to revert it explicitly. However, for now upstream-23044:d4ca456c0c25 seems to be harmless and not connected to the core issue (hvmloader broken by GCC 4.6) fixed by changeset 23104:1976adbf2b80 . The rest of patchque is the same.
Build is based on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen/4.1.1-1ubuntu1

Vmlinuz , initrd.img downloaded from images/pxeboot folder local Apache Mirror.Started install . It requires "Tab" and good sense of wich button is current now.Mouse is a live, but actually useless. One more notice F15 (vs F14 ) goes directly to Fedora's Repos on Net. It requires 2-8 MBit/sec stable internet connection ( ADSL) install to be done in reasonable time frame.


# xm create f15.install
# vncviewer localhost:0

Created runtime profile :


name="VF15"
memory=2048
disk = ['phy:/dev/sda8,xvda,w' ]
vif = [ 'bridge=br0' ]
vfb = [ 'vnc=1,vncunused=1']
bootloader = "/usr/lib/xen-4.1/bin/pygrub"
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'


# xm create f15.pyrun
# vncviewer localhost:0

During runtime :-
# virsh dumpxml VF15 > VF15.xml
Then shutdown domain and removed uuid line from XML-profile
# virsh define VF15.xml

Implementation spice on Ubuntu 11.10 KVM Server

All packages required are already in PPA "Spice-Gtk-0.6 on Ubuntu 11.04 and Ubuntu 11.10".Spice-gtk-0.6 has been done for Oneiric as two builds. First one with python and gobject-introspection enabled (GTK2). Second one --with-introspection and --with-gtk="3.0" (GTK3).This builds actually are the core builds in PPA, which bring RH's technologies to Ubuntu 11.10. Patched virt-manager and virtinst also support spicevmc channel.View :-
Spice-Gtk-0.6 on Ubuntu 11.04 and Ubuntu 11.10
The only one qemu-kvm package should be rebuilt (spice enabled) as soon as stable qemu-kvm 0.15 git tree will be branched.
