[Lxc-users] console takes a long time to initializeVirtualCharDevice

[Lucas Albers]

sigh
I figured out the solution, changing selinux to permissive on the host made the console come up immediately, I must not have had that set on one.

Subject: [Lxc-users] console takes a long time to initializeVirtualCharDevice

on one system with the same template the virt-manager console comes up immediately.
On the 2nd system it takes an 16 additional seconds.

if you compare the time between the "Starting vm*" and the "No graphics configured for guest", this indicates the time it takes for the console to come up.

I have looked at if for a few days from a number of different angles and I cannot figure it out.

Works:

2013-05-06 19:20:11,400 (details:557): Showing VM details: <vmmDomain object at 0x37a5500 (virtManager+domain+vmmDomain at 0x380cd00)>

Does not work:

I am running virt-manager version:
0.9.4-2
from 3rd system running debian wheezy.


Container is exactly the same on both.
Both host systems are running the exact same OS and hardware.
Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.4 with the latest updates.
Kernel: 2.6.32-358.6.1.el6.x86_6
kernel comand line boot:

libvirt/lxc versions are the same on both hosts:
libvirt-0.10.2-18.0.1.el6_4.4.x86_64
libvirt-client-0.10.2-18.0.1.el6_4.4.x86_64
