[Dev] Install image fails
by Dwarf Snowcrash
I'm not sure this is the place to post but I don't have any other options.
I followed the instructions for the install pen drive creation and got it to run but was given no choice for a drive to install on. It chose the hard drive without telling me, wiped the drive and failed to install anything leaving me with a boat anchor. I had to install Windows 10, as there was no recovery partition left from the original 8.1 install.
The live image fails to boot.
So far I can't say I'm very impressed.
Any suggestions appreciated.

[Dev] Virtual Machine Manager and / or SPICE client viewer
by fb.dev.clx
Hi all,
I'm still intenting to setup an environment, where I would like to run
virtual machines with QEMU-KVM (independently of OpenStack), with Clear
Linux installed natively.
As Clear Linux QEMU now supports SPICE, it would be nice to add a SPICE
viewer (spicec) or even better, full virt-manager <http://virt-manager.
org/> support in order to manage KVM VMs through a GUI.
What do you think?

[Dev] virsh cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64
by fb.dev.clx
Hi all,
I'm unable to start KVM VMs (without OpenStack) anymore as virsh 'could
not find capabilities for arch=x86_64'.
```
$ virsh version
Compiled against library: libvirt 1.3.1
Using library: libvirt 1.3.1
Using API: QEMU 1.3.1
error: failed to get the hypervisor version
error: internal error: Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64
```
Of course, libvirtd is running and my standard user (clruser) belongs
to the following groups:
```
$ id
uid=1000(clruser) gid=1000(clruser)
groups=1000(clruser),200(qemu),201(kvm),203(libvirt)
```
Clear Linux version:
```
# cat /usr/share/clear/version
6470
```
Clear Linux Bundles installed so far:
```
# ls /usr/share/clear/bundles/
containers-basic
kernel-native
kvm-host
os-core
os-core-update
os-utils
os-utils-gui
```
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

[Dev] cgroups
by Pradeep Kiruvale
Hi All,
How the cgroup option passed from the docker to the container?
Is it really set, is it supported in the recent release of clear containers?
I mean to say --cgroup-parent=
Please let me know.

[Dev] install problems with clear-6430-installer.img
by Long, Paul
I'm trying to do a fresh, bare-metal install (not swupd update) with
clear-6430-installer.img. In the past pacrunner has not really figured out
my proxy stuff so I added "Environment=http_proxy=http://<my_proxy_info/>"
and "Environment=https_proxy=http://<my_proxy_info/>" just under the
[service] tag in /usr/lib/system/system/ister.service.
I boot from usb drive and do an auto install. From another console I do a
tail -f /var/log/ister_gui.log and I watch the /dev/sda get partitioned and
formatted.
Then swupd appears to start downloading:
4422 files get downloaded, looks good to me, but then ister returns 0 and
stops:
Any tips on getting this beastie installed?
Thanks,

Re: [Dev] 'ister' installation failure v5700 and v6020
by Nesius, Robert A
Thanks for the mail, Jon.
I'm going to do a quick test myself. But while I do that….
The ister log file is on the local disk. Either boot a live image or boot the installer and when ister fails switch to another tty and log in as root. You should see /dev/sda is mounted somewhere – if it isn’t you can mount /dev/sda2 and look inside there for the log file I think. The log file of interest is /var/log/ister_gui.log.
Our "next gen" installer has a lot of usability enhancements – including a much nicer "failure screen" to help get the relevant information to the user faster in a failure case. It's taking longer than planned for that next revision to get here so I'm going to update the existing installer to give more helpful info up front.
If you are able to fish that log file off your system and send it to me that would be great. I'll follow up with my test results shortly.
Thanks much,
-Rob

Subject: [Dev] 'ister' installation failure v5700 and v6020
I’ve downloaded both
clear-5700-installer.img.xz
clear-6020-installer.img.xz
and written them to a 16Gb USB stick with the “xzcat … | dd “ command from the “creating a bootable USB …” page
My hardware is an HP EliteDesk 800 (4th gen core i7-4790)
On booting, I choose auto-installation and get the messages
Starting installation
Creating partitions
Swupd done
Ister failed…, please check the log file
There’s no log file, any clue as to why it is failing?
Thanks
