Re: novnc for Ubuntu 12.04 and Folsom

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Hi Joe,

Thanks for the great and fast response!
Well nova-volume was not working because in the instructions it never stated to "start" the service in the first place! So when it stated on page 20 to "restart" the services it failed because the service was never running in the first place. I fixed this obviously very simply by typing "sudo start nova-volume" and then the "sudo restart etc etc etc was all working fine. So it goes with documentation - steps, procedures, methodologies, and the details always count in computing. 

Next --
root@yyy:/# sudo restart nova-volume
nova-volume start/running, process 20214

root@yyy:/# apt-cache search novnc
novnc - HTML5 VNC client
python-novnc - HTML5 VNC client - libraries
So the packages are there, but why did the command sudo apt-get install ...... novnc .... fail? Should I run an update or upgrade or remove and reinstall on this to insure that the packages are completely and correctly installed? 

Thanks for you help!!
Regards,
Robert
P.S. How do I send a fix into the documentation group to have them add that one needs to start a service before you restart it OR is there a bug in the start/stop/restart script of nova-volume to sense that if not started it should be started?

Hi Robert,

You are correct that novnc is not related to nova-volume not working. Check
/var/log/nova/nova-volume.log to see why nova-volume is not starting.

Regarding the novnc package, novnc is part of the regular ubuntu package
repository. If you do "apt-cache search novnc", do you see two results?

Thanks,
Joe

  Hi All:

  - I saw this e-mail message and I wanted to ask both and/or all of "You"
(as it appears you are in the thick of things and in the know) if within
Essex on Ubuntu, if there is available a novnc package?  As I am trying to
install Essex on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS using the "OpenStack Compute Starter
Guide" essex (May 4, 2012) page 18 and the command complains after trying
to download all of the packages that novnc does not exist?  Then proceeding
with the instructions (knowing that novnc was NOT downloaded and/or
installed) the command "sudo nova-manage service list" works but does NOT
show a working nova-volume ?

Any help in providing a pointer to the ubuntu package novnc would be of
great help!
Also, I am not sure if novnc is actually related to the issue of
nova-volume not being an enabled service -- I am still researching both of
these issues....

Thanks in advance to anyone who responds - it is appreciated,

Hello,

  According to this bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1021836), novnc was updated to
account for a change in the rpc module.

  However, there does not seem to be an updated package in the Ubuntu
Folsom repository (
https://launchpad.net/~openstack-ubuntu-testing/+archive/folsom-trunk-testing/+packages<https://launchpad.net/%7Eopenstack-ubuntu-testing/+archive/folsom-trunk-testing/+packages> <https://launchpad.net/%7Eopenstack-ubuntu-testing/+archive/folsom-trunk-testing/+packages>)
nor at the novnc launchpad page (
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/novnc).

  Does anyone know if there will be a proper novnc package for Ubuntu
12.04 and Folsom?

  Thanks,
Joe
