Comment 2 for bug 1180281

Hi Robie,

I posted the output from var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log in the bug report.

I'll respond to your questions/comments here:

"Did you get the documentation with the XenD/xm deprecation warning from somewhere tied to this version of libvirt, or from the website in general?"

It is well known that XenD/xm has been deprecated in Xen 4.2. But since XenD/xm is still working and in widely used by many, Xen isn't exactly "warning" anyone about the deprecation. But they are gently encouraging users to make the move as soon as practical.

"Are you able to check that the documentation you found applies to the version of libvirt that you're using, please?" and "It's probably also worth checking whether this bug affects upstream libvirt or just the Ubuntu packaging."

I posted questions relate to this bug on the "<email address hidden>" and "<email address hidden>" lists. Based on the replies that I received, I'm under the impression that libvirt 1.0.5 (which I'm using) has been made to work with the xl toolstack in a few rpm based distros, including Fedora and openSUSE. However, I can't say for certain whether it is working straight from upstream or whether those distros include their own patched versions.

I realize that this bug report is still somewhat incomplete. But I want to leave it open with the hope that others will post additional information here. Hopefully, if enough post here, we'll be able to figure out what's going wrong.

Thanks!
