How to create an external snapshot with virsh snapshot-create-as...? - qemu

When I try to create a snapshot with
virsh snapshot-create-as one-217 snap_base "desc" --diskspec vda,file=/var/lib/one/datastores/1/2aae91bd6c04fa2db0849bc0db1342ba --disk-only --atomic
There is an error occurred.
error: unsupported configuration: external snapshot file for disk vda already exists and is not a block device: /var/lib/one/datastores/1/2aae91bd6c04fa2db0849bc0db1342ba
Then I run
virsh snapshot-list one-217
There is no snapshot displayed for one-217.
I run
virsh domblklist one-217
Result like this
vda /var/lib/one//datastores/0/217/disk.0
hda /var/lib/one//datastores/0/217/disk.1
I am confused. How can I create an external snapshot with virsh snapshot-create-as command or I should try another way? And how to create a multi disk snapshot?
virsh version is
Compiled against library: libvirt 0.10.2
Using library: libvirt 0.10.2
Using API: QEMU 0.10.2
Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.12.1
Could anyone help me please? Thx in advance!

Seems like the file 2aae91bd6c04fa2db0849bc0db1342ba already exists, so the error message you see is valid -- libvirt was rightly refusing to use an existing file, because that can cause data loss. Here's the relevant bug, which is fixed in upstream libvirt.
To resolve that, try providing path to a file that does not exist: /var/lib/libvirt/images/snap1-one-217.qcow2 (or something like that).
And, judging from the error, your libvirt version seems to be old. Please use a relatively newer version (or at-least a version above libvirt-0.9.10).

It will be a great help if anybody help me in this to resolve.
Thanks in advance.
So first thing you should do is update your google chorme.
Click on the 3 dots > help > about google chrome > and check if it is already up to date.
After updating, search for webdrive for google chrome.
Download the version that is the same as yours, for example.
Mine is 103. Then download driver 103.
When you've downloaded the driver, unzip it and insert it into your drivers folder on your user's C:.
Example:
C:\Users\lucas\driver
After putting it in, try to run your program again.
Note * I found this out by going to my system variables and accessing the Paths that were in there.
You can probably find and check beforehand. If there is something in one of your paths like this:
C:\Users\lucas\driver
and paste exactly in that path. It will work.

Gnome Boxes on Fedora 33 fails to open

I attempt to load gnome-boxes from the terminal (I'm running Fedora 33) and get the following error
$ gnome-boxes

I don't whether it's related but I recently updated from kernel 5.9.11 directly to 5.9.16 (haven't used the PC in question for some weeks) and before gnome-boxes was working as normal.
Please advise how I can restore gnome-boxes - I have some virtual machines that I need to access...
I faced this issue when I force stopped Gnome-Boxes while cloning a VM.
Deleting the conflicting VM will resolve your issue(in your case 'fedora33-wor-2').
To delete the VM in fedora, install "libvirt-client" which provides "virsh" using the command
dnf install libvirt-client
then double check the available VM's using
virsh list --all
Delete the VM using command,
virsh undefine VM_Name
#channel-fun solved the problem of staring up gnome-boxes.
But the real problem is in cloning procedure. The XML describing the new machine is malformed.
virt-clone --original fedora33-ser --auto-clone
works properly.
I know this is an old thread, but I had the same problem recently.
I shut down gnome boxes whilst it was cloning a vm, and shutdown the machine.
I then couldn't open boxes, as it would just crash.
I was able to delete the VM itself, and then deleted the XML file associated with it.
To delete the VM itself, go to :
$HOME/.var/app/org.gnome.Boxes/data/gnome-boxes/images (which in my case is a symbolic link to a data drive)
and delete the VM with the name that you were cloning to (or safer, just move it somewhere).
To delete the XML file associated with it:
$HOME/.var/app/org.gnome.Boxes/config/libvirt/qemu/
and delete (or safer move) the file that is named VM_NAME.xml.
Then boxes should open ok, at least it worked for me.
Extending on Channel Fun's answer for Ubuntu repos the package is libvirt-clients (note the plural s):
sudo apt install libvirt-clients
Check the available VM's using:
virsh list --all
Delete the VM using:
virsh undefine VM_Name
If you receive the error:
error: Refusing to undefine while domain managed save image exists
Then you can explicitly remove that also using the --managed-save flag:
virsh undefine VM_Name --managed-save

DAML Sand box error: Error: Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'\CurrentVersion' has value '1.8', but '1.7' is required

Getting below error when I start sandbox. I think we need use jdk8 as per the DAML doc.
daml sandbox --scenario Main:setup .daml/dist/quickstart-0.0.1.dar
Error: Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'\CurrentVersion'
has value '1.8', but '1.7' is required.
Error: could not find java.dll
Error: Could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.

Raw command: java -jar "C:\Users\santh\AppData\Roaming\daml\sdk\0.13.21\sandbox/sandbox.jar" --scenario Main:setup .daml/dist/quickstart-0.0.1.dar
During my initial setup, I have faced the similar issue. It may be because of an existing Java installation in your machine.
You can try the below options to fix this issue.
Option 1:
1. Check if you have more than one version of JAVA in machine.
2. If yes, uninstall everything and do the clean installation. Make sure your Environment Path variable(s) are got set properly.
or
Option 2:
1) Download the latest JDK in Zip format "jdk-12.0.2_windows-x64_bin.zip"
2) Extract it manually in your local drive.
3) Manually update your Environment Path variables (ref. https://javatutorial.net/set-java-home-windows-10).
I hope it will help you to fix your problem.
Cheers,
Augustine

SLES crash dump

I would like to test whether my server creating a crash dump upon a OS crash. I can see the /etc/sysconfig/kdump config file is configured.
So I issued the command to kernel panic echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger so it crashed the server but it never create a dump file for some reason. This is HP BL460g7 blade with ASR disabled.
When I trigger the kernel panic it crashed but stays about 10 minutes (looks like its trying to save a crash dump) but it never. I checked the message logs but cannot see reason why its not dumping. Main problem is how do I find why it's not dumping a crash file, is there are any logs I can check what has really gone wrong?
I'm using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) SP 1.
Did you follow the steps explained here?
SUSE Support - Configure kernel core dump capture
The most important tasks should be:
install kdump, kexec-tools and makedumpfile
add crashkernel=... to the kernel command line (Grub)
chkconfig boot.kdump on
ensure that you have enough free space in /var/crash (default dir)
Then please reboot your system and run:
sync; echo c >/proc/sysrq-trigger
After another boot please check for new files in /var/crash. If this doesn't work for you, please show us the content of /etc/sysconfig/kdump and at least the output of
cat /proc/cmdline
chkconfig boot.kdump
Do you have a display connected to the machine?

Anyone have ever come across such issue? How do i fix this? Suggestions please
I've recently had the same issue. The problem was caused by full C drive. Apparently chromedriver needs some space in C drive (or the drive where chrome binary file is located) to create temporary profile files and so on.
One of the solutions could be to move chrome installation to some other drive. You could use mklink command in command line window.
It can be caused by executing ChromeDriver in parallel. Other errors as "failed to write first run file" or "cannot create default profile directory" may happen in that case.
My solution was to specify option user-data-dir. Two concurrent Chromedriver should not use same user data directory.
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--user-data-dir=C:\\tmp\\chromeprofiles\\profile" + someKindOfIdOrIndex);
You can of course change the path for whatever you want :)
This issue occurs if C drive disk runs out of space.The best solution to clear temp files.This solution worked for me.
Open Run command
2.Type % tmp%
3.Click on OK
4.Select all files.Delete all the files permanently.
you have different versions of chrome on server and on node
In my case, it was a consol application which should run as Administrator to gain access to the HDD
Follow These Steps
1)Press Window key+R
Type RUN
Type %temp%
4)Click Ok
5)Press Ctrl+A
Press Shift Delete
