Re: [Xen-devel] Using Libvirtd with virt-manager on aarch64

[Clark Laughlin <clark.laughlin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I will check and see if I still have it, but I have moved on to other work and have already destroyed that build/test environment.

I would love to give you a link to Linaro-generated build output, but we are still in the process of getting that setup and running as well.

If you follow the steps in the document (or the steps in the script), you end up having to build both xen and xen tools. You can not use any of the distro-provided packages.

You will also need to build libvirt, as the libvirt in the distro packages does not have xen support enabled.

What version of Ubuntu are you using?

/dev/urandom is a common Linux device for pseudo-randomness, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=/dev/random. It is not Xen specific or
board specific. I don't know why you don't have it in your installation.

Have you tried creating it?

mknod -m 444 /dev/urandom c 1 9

[manish] I am running in chroot environment so it could be an issue.
Btw Is it possible to get the libvirtd deb so that i can just test it out if it works as desired. Clark can you please fwd.
