Dear list,
I'm trying to package libvirt 0.8.1 for our distribution, Pardus 2009.2. libvirt is installed perfectly normal, and libvirtd runs OK when I start it in a console using root account.
However, when I start libvirtd as a service, with the same parameters, through the normal service startup functions, it segfaults.
The services in Pardus 2009.2 are started using a management backend which works with python and service start/stop scripts are python based.
For libvirt, it's the following: http://svn.pardus.org.tr/pardus/playground/ozan/libvirt/comar/service.py
Whatever I did, I couldn't find why libvirt is crashing. It works normal when I run it from console with exactly the same parameters. Here's an earlier syslog section ending with the crash:
There are some things to consider: - Did you use the exact same commandline as the initscript when testing manually? - Did you make sure to use the same environment variable configuration when starting libvirtd manually, compared to the initscript? Could you provide a GDB backtrace of the segfault? The syslog entry only says that it crashed in libc, that's not enough information to debug the segfault. Matthias
