CentOS (2.6.32-431.23.3.el6.x86_64) Qemu stderr: qemu-kvm: -display: invalid option #1387

Hi,

Packer newbie here. Just running through the Packer docs and trying it for the 1st time.

I am following the docs for the 1st timers.

http://www.packer.io/intro/getting-started/build-image.html

But using the QEMU Builder instead of Amazon AMI.

http://www.packer.io/docs/builders/qemu.html

This is the template I created based off the example.

{ "builders": [ { "type": "qemu", "qemu_binary" : "/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm", "iso_url": "http://127.0.0.1/iso/CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso", "iso_checksum": "0d9dc37b5dd4befa1c440d2174e88a87", "iso_checksum_type": "md5", "output_directory": "/var/tmp/output_centos_tdhtest", "ssh_wait_timeout": "30s", "shutdown_command": "shutdown -P now", "disk_size": 5000, "format": "qcow2", "headless": false, "accelerator": "kvm", "http_directory": "", "http_port_min": 8000, "http_port_max": 8000, "ssh_host_port_min": 2222, "ssh_host_port_max": 2223, "ssh_username": "root", "ssh_password": "deeznuts", "ssh_port": 22, "ssh_wait_timeout": "90m", "vm_name": "tdhtest", "net_device": "virtio-net", "disk_interface": "virtio", "boot_wait": "5s", "boot_command": [ " text ks=http://127.0.0.1:80/pub/ks/nms.cfg" ] } ] }

But the build process fails because the qemu-kvm that is available by default with this system does not appear to have a "-display" option.

So then I thought, may as well download and compile the latest QEMU with the --enable-sdl option to see if that works. But, no dice. Failed with a different error.

listuser commented 10 years ago

I am not sure if I just need to change an option in my template or what I might try next. Thanks for your help.

listuser commented 10 years ago

After I compiled the current version of QEMU with --enable-sdl, I was able to get packer rolling again by overriding the QEMU default arg for memory in my template with

  "qemuargs": [ [ "-m", "size=1024" ] ],

Is there a way to override the "-display" option using the template so that it doesn't get passed at all? I would like to use the default qemu-kvm that is provided with the system instead of the version I compiled. Thank you.

listuser commented 10 years ago

I ended up scripting a workaround for the qemu-kvm that is provided with the system. I created a shell script, /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm.sh, with the following to remove the "-display" and "-redir" options.

!/bin/bash

ARGS=echo $@ | sed -e 's|-display||g' -e 's|-redir||g'

exec /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm $ARGS

And I ended up using vncviewer instead of SDL to connect to check the status of the build. Here is my template using the system provided qemu-kvm binary.

{ "builders": [ { "type": "qemu", "qemu_binary" : "/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm.sh", "qemuargs": [ [ "-m", "1024m" ], [ "-enable-kvm", "" ], [ "-display", "" ], [ "-redir", "" ], [ "-machine", "type=pc,accel=kvm" ], [ "-netdev", "user,id=mynet0,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22" ], [ "-vnc", "127.0.0.1:87" ], [ "-device", "virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet0" ] ], "iso_url": "http://127.0.0.1/pub/centos/6/iso/x86_64/CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso", "iso_checksum": "83221db52687c7b857e65bfe60787838", "iso_checksum_type": "md5", "output_directory": "/var/tmp/output_centos_tdhtest", "ssh_wait_timeout": "10000s", "shutdown_command": "shutdown -P now", "disk_size": 10000, "format": "qcow2", "headless": false, "accelerator": "kvm", "http_directory": "/var/ftp/pub/ks", "http_port_min": 8000, "http_port_max": 8000, "ssh_host_port_min": 2222, "ssh_host_port_max": 2223, "ssh_username": "root", "ssh_password": "deeznuts", "ssh_port": 22, "ssh_wait_timeout": "90m", "vm_name": "tdhtest", "disk_interface": "virtio", "boot_wait": "5s", "boot_command": [ " text ks=http://{{ .HTTPIP }}:{{ .HTTPPort }}/tdhtest.cfg" ] } ] }

For anyone else running into this issue or the other issues related to building with the default RHEL/Qemu-kvm binaries please see below:

  1. To fix the '-display sdl' problem simply use "headless": true, in your builder .json file to disable that entire option from being passed to qemu.
  2. -redir is deprecated for most versions of qemu now so I patched the code to append that info to the -netdev option instead which is what qemu now recommends you use.
  3. The -m 512m has been fixed as shown above but I also patched the default to just remove the M entirely since qemu assumes your memory size is in MB anyway.
  4. You may also run into a machine type issue when building with the RHEL default qemu-kvm binary. You can fix that one of 3 ways:
    1. When calling packer build mybuild.json pass an environment variable to set the machine type: MachineType=pc packer build mybuild.json
    2. You can change the global setting in ~/.packer config file
    3. You can update 'b.config.MachineType = "pc-1.0"' line in packer/builder/qemu/builder.go (Note I am submitting a patch for this shortly).

Some QEMU binaries support pc-1.0 but ALL of them seem to support 'pc' and it's often just an alias back to what pc-1.0 was anyway so it seems like a more sane default value (tested on OS X, Ubuntu 14, RHEL 6.5)

My fork with these patches is available here: https://github.com/kholloway/packer I'm going to submit a PR shortly with these changes and hopefully it's rolled into the main packer repo since trying to build on RHEL6 right now is currently impossible without these patches.

Thanks and good luck!

listuser commented 10 years ago

Thank you for addressing the issues. Of note, I ran into the machine type issue as well. At the time, I used similar to the following to override the default (see config above).

[ "-machine", "type=pc" ]

Thanks again

kholloway commented 10 years ago

Yes that's another option as well but then you miss the accelerator part of the line.. :) The full line as passed by packer when using KVM as your accelerator would be:

"-machine", "type=pc,accel=kvm",.

jfbibeau commented 9 years ago

@kholloway did you end up making a PR? These issues all still seem to be present today affecting qemu-kvm. Thanks!

kholloway commented 9 years ago

Yep PR #1561 was merged back in October 2014 and with my changes/fixes. Here is a portion of my config used for building RHEL65 VM's on a RHEL6 global, adjust values as needed.
