Can't install on OS X 10.9

[sethm]

Trying to install on OS X 10.9 with VirtualBox 4.3.18 / Vagrant 1.6.5.

When I do "vagrant up", I get the following error:

This was fixed in 2a1b, but requires the basebox be recreated. You might avoid the rebuild by applying the 'sudo' workaround at the end of https://github.com/ynniv/opengenera/blob/master/definitions/ubuntu-7.10-server-amd64/postinstall.sh.

[sethm]

I installed fresh from a brand new clone of the repo and made sure to delete all of my baseboxes, but it's still failing in exactly the same way for me in 7cc10e6. Am I missing something obvious?

I installed from a brand new clone and got this result -->

With vagrant there are opportunities for stale data, even with a clean repo. Try vagrant box list, and if there is still a box named opengenera, remove that with vagrant box remove opengenera. You might also remove any opengenera directory in ~/.vagrant.d/boxes/. I probably need to update the clean target in Makefile.

[opendragon]

Hi:

I was doing the 'vagrant box remove opengenera', since I'd noticed that the 'make clean' followed by a 'make' was not doing anything... I'll look at the '.vagrant.d' directory as well.

Even a successful build has some output that looks like failure. Check your output against the just-added notes/full-make.log.

Also, you don't need to modify Remote Management because we're using port 5902 instead of 5901.

[opendragon]

Hi Vinny:

I followed in the log (in parallel) while redoing the full install after 'make clean' and the 'vagrant' commands to eliminate the old information. It logs on now, but I only get as far as - BEGIN>>> Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... ==> default: Clearing any previously set forwarded ports... ==> default: Clearing any previously set network interfaces... ==> default: Preparing network interfaces based on configuration... default: Adapter 1: nat ==> default: Forwarding ports... default: 5901 => 5902 (adapter 1) default: 22 => 2222 (adapter 1) ==> default: Running 'pre-boot' VM customizations... ==> default: Booting VM... ==> default: Waiting for machine to boot.

END>>>

There are a lot of commands after this in the log of a successful install, so I'm pretty sure that the virtual machine isn't ready for use at this point.

There's mention of having to rebuild the 'box' in order to resolve the SSH issue, but the link to how to build the base box [http://docs-v1.vagrantup.com/v1/docs/base_boxes.html] is quite vague. Can you provide any hints on what the next step is that I should take?

I'm pretty sure that I have a fix for this. There were a couple of minor issues in the veewee base box build. I've issued a pull request (https://github.com/ynniv/opengenera/pull/11) that I hope addresses them.

[ynniv]

I manually merged changes for the VirtualBox additions script and sudo wrapper executable bit. I haven't verified the output of these changes, but they both seem necessary. I also added an echo to the beginning and end of the postinstall script. If you don't see POSTINSTALL COMPLETE, something is still wrong.

[opendragon]

The install almost completes! Instead of the last four lines BEGIN>>> ==> default: start opengenera under vnc ==> default: xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority ==> default: ==> default: New 'genera-host:1 (root)' desktop is genera-host:1 ==> default: Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup ==> default: Log file is /root/.vnc/genera-host:1.log END>>>

I see BEGIN>>> ==> default: start opengenera under vnc ==> default: ==> default: You will require a password to access your desktops. ==> default: getpassword error: Invalid argument ==> default: Password: The SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed. The output for this command should be in the log above. Please read the output to determine what went wrong. END>>>

[ynniv]

I'm not sure why this would work on my machine and not yours, but I just pushed a change that specifies HOME in the same way that /etc/rc.local does. This may fix this problem for you.

[opendragon]

The install completes! However, when I VNC to the VirtualBox, using either 'open vnc://localhost:5902' or via a VNC client application, I get a white screen with 'root@genera-host:~#' displayed at the top, not the Genera opening screen. The .vnc/genera-host:1.log file is: BEGIN>>> Xvnc Free Edition 4.1.1 Copyright (C) 2002-2005 RealVNC Ltd. See http://www.realvnc.com for information on VNC.

If I 'cd /var/lib/symbolics' and issue the './genera' command, I get the blank Genera screen; issuing the 'vagrant ssh -c restart-genera' command from the Mac OS X command-line causes Genera to exit on the VNC display with the following: BEGIN>>> tx ip: 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.1 rx ip: 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 ... repeated many times tx ip: 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.255 udp; 1025 37 rx ip: 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 udp; 37 1025 keycode1 0, keycode2 0 dec keyboard keycode1 0, keycode2 65

[ynniv]

Yes, this is common bug. Per the README, run vagrant ssh -c restart-genera.

[opendragon]

I issued the 'vagrant ssh -c restart-genera' command several different times; sometimes I restarted the VM before doing it, sometimes I did it after doing the 'open' and getting the console prompt. I could watch the processes with 'top' and 'restart-genera' would appear briefly and then vanish, with no other effect.

[ynniv]

Can you link to a https://gist.github.com/ of the file /var/lib/symbolics/genera.log? Also, I think from your previous issue with HOME that you have somehow misconfigured something. Starting from make clean, what commands have you run?

[opendragon]

Hi:

The commands that I used were - 1) make clean 2) make && vagrant up 3) open vnc://localhost:5902

From the command-line, I couldn't scp into or out of the machine, so I've done a screen capture of the .vnc/genera:1.log file and the /var/lib/symbolics directory, where there is no genera.log file.

You should be able to use vagrant ssh to connect to the virtual machine, where you can cat the log file and copy it out of the terminal. You may need to use sudo -s to become root to access some things.

[opendragon]

Hi Vinny:

In my earlier post, I had logged in via VNC, and opened each of the directories that you were interested in. This time, I used 'vagrant ssh' as you recommended - which works just fine - and used 'cat' for the .vnc log file: BEGIN>> Xvnc Free Edition 4.1.1 Copyright (C) 2002-2005 RealVNC Ltd.

Note that there is no log file in the /var/lib/symbolics directory. I don't think that genera actually got started - the genera executable does not appear in 'ps ax'.

I'm having problems on OS X Yosemite:

When running vagrant up it gets to a certain point and just stops. How far it gets varies between runs. I've made a gist of the output from make as well as a few examples from vagrant up https://gist.github.com/bishboria/0cc91d8386163ece7273

after vagrant up stops I tried vagrant ssh just in case. It complains that "VM must be created before running this command. Run vagrant up first."

I'd love to get this project running! :) I think I'm quite close.

[lja83]

In case it helps anyone, I had a similar issue where the X session would have one xterm open but genera wouldn't launch at all. I found that if, in that xterm, I just launched genera manually with something like "./genera" it would come up once partway with the black bar at the bottom. After killing it and re-running "./genera" it would come up fine and everything would work from then on.

Further, I found that you can, indeed, save your world. The catch is that you can't save it to the same file that you loaded it from. That seems to crash genera and also corrupt the world file. If you just give it a different name at the Save World prompt, it works fine and can then be loaded with "./genera -world my-world.vlod"

Hopefully this helps some of you get up and running. It's a fascinating system!

[rudolfochrist]

I list the steps that made it work for me on OS X 10.10:

1. open definitions/ubuntu-7.10-server-amd64/postinstall.sh

2. Remove the lines

   #Installing chef & Puppet
   /opt/ruby/bin/gem install chef --no-ri --no-rdoc
   /opt/ruby/bin/gem install puppet --no-ri --no-rdoc

   and save the file

3. run make
4. After make has finished (this complaints that chef and puppet cannot be found. But just ignore it), fire vagrant up
5. When the box is running proceed withopen vnc://localhost:5902. This opens an xterm window in Screen Sharing App.
6. In the xterm window, go to /var/lib/symbolics
7. Type in ./genera. This starts genera in a somehow "broken" state.
8. In your other terminal window (your host terminal. The one you typed in vagrant up) run vagrant ssh -c restart-genera.
9. Back in the xterm window type again ./genera
10. Presto! Genera should be running.

@opendragon I hit the comment button too early, accidentally. After that I edited my comment multiple times. It seem that you get email notifications and so you missed the edits. Anyway, the lines i removed again:

/opt/ruby/bin/gem install puppet --no-ri --no-rdoc

[opendragon]

Thanks, rudolfochrist, your instructions helped me getting it to run... over the December break I'm going to explore what is involved in getting vagrant and VMware to work with it. [I've got the Lisp Machine book [Lisp Lore] as well as a MacIvory II and the full (printed) documentation set, so I should have no issues on the Lisp side!]

[ynniv]

This is independent of the host version. Chef installs Phusion Passenger, which wants to install an addition that requires a ruby version greater than the one installed. rudolfochrist's changes resolve this and don't cause trouble later in the installation, so I have applied them.

[opendragon]

Hi:

I've never 'committed' a change to a repository that I didn't manage, but I have a change that I'd like to suggest, and I've enclosed the patch for it. The 'ubuntu-7.10-server-amd64.box' file that gets built does not need to be put in the repository, and should be ignored.
