libvirt-bin : error : virExecWithHook:328 : Cannot find 'pm-is-supported' in path: No such file or directory

[sajuptpm]

=====================
SRU Justification
1. Impact: log is spammed with errors which can hide important info
2. development fix: add pm-utils to pkg suggests
3. stable fix: same as development fix
4. test case: start libvirtd, check log file.
5. regression potential: none, we are simply suggesting install of an otherwise useful pkg.
=====================

Hi,

I am using ubuntu 12.04 + openstack essex.

Thanks for reporting this bug. Marking confirmed.

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

I'm sorry, I thought I'd seen this on my desktop, but come to think of it that was only on barebones server installs.

If you want pm-is-supported to work in libvirt, please install pm-utils

   sudo apt-get -y install pm-utils

and then restart libvirt

  sudo stop libvirt-bin
  sudo start libvirt-bin

It could be argued that pm-utils should be in libvirt's Suggests:, but I
think I prefer not to for a few reasons.

[Chang Liwei (changliwei)]

I have installed pm-utils
but it all the same before.

I have install ubuntu-desktop , and then I apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop .

It doesn't work , I even can't launch any OpenStack instance.

[sajuptpm (sajuptpm)]

It is working for me after following steps
sudo apt-get -y install pm-utils
sudo stop libvirt-bin
sudo start libvirt-bin

Can anyone help to solve this?

[Numérigraphe (numerigraphe)]

Dear Serge Hallyn,
Why do prefer to keep pm-utils out of the "suggests" please?

[pippo (claudio-enjoy)]

How is possible to fix that problem in quantal ? the last version in quatal is libvirt-bin 0.9.13-0ubuntu12.2

any help ?

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

@Claudio

sudo apt-get install pm-utils

The fix in this bug was simply to add that to the Suggested packages for libvirt-bin, meaning that when you install libvirt-bin, apt-get suggests installing it but does not do so automatically.

Nothing further todo for the cloud-archive; marking Invalid.
