Hi all, I want to use "virt-install" command to create a virtual machine, and output the log from the console. The command is like this: virt-install \ --name opensuse12 \ --ram 1024 \ --disk path=./opensuse12.qcow2,size=8 \ --vcpus 1 \ --os-type linux \ --os-variant generic \ --network bridge=virbr0 \ --graphics none \ --console 'pty,target_type=serial' \ --location 'http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.3/repo/oss/' \ --extra-args 'console=ttyS0' \ -d The execution result is: ...... [Tue, 22 Sep 2015 06:13:20 virt-install 9309] ERROR (cli:296) 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not NoneType [Tue, 22 Sep 2015 06:13:20 virt-install 9309] DEBUG (cli:298) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-install", line 1084, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-install", line 1069, in main guest = build_guest_instance(conn, options, parsermap) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-install", line 651, in build_guest_instance show_warnings(options, guest) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-install", line 556, in show_warnings _show_nographics_warnings(options, guest) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-install", line 531, in _show_nographics_warnings if console_type in options.extra_args: TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not NoneType >From the virt-install source code: def _show_nographics_warnings(options, guest): ...... serial_arg = "console=ttyS0" serial_arm_arg = "console=ttyAMA0" virtio_arg = "console=hvc0" console_type = None if guest.conn.is_test() or guest.conn.is_qemu(): console_type = serial_arg if guest.os.arch.startswith("arm") or guest.os.arch == "aarch64": console_type = serial_arm_arg if guest.get_devices("console")[0].target_type == "virtio": console_type = virtio_arg if not options.extra_args or "console=" not in options.extra_args: logging.warn(_("No 'console' seen in --extra-args, a '%s' kernel " "argument is likely required to see text install output from " "the guest."), console_type or "console=") return if console_type in options.extra_args: return ...... I can see since console_type is "None", so the function will return directly. So I am confused how to set console correctly to redirect the log like host machine? Thanks very much in advance!
