Designing dashboard screen, need to meet these goals: 1) able to show status of VM 2) i think people usually have less than 32 VMs runnning, so the design will be optimized to show 32 VMs 3) i will reference redhat cloudforms interface
Here is a working example using web socket to stream screen to html 5 player. The server is in java, I use websockify.py to route the websocket to java socket. html 5 player
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this); will reset your own UI, if you call setUI() in constructor. Example: PeterCustomeTabbedPane —– extend ——> MaryCustomTabbedPane —- extend -> JTabbedPane (swing component) Suppose PeterCustomeTabbedPane and MaryCustomTabbedPane have their own TabbedPaneUI, once you called SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this); , PeterCustomeTabbedPane’s UI class will be reset to MaryCustomTabbedPane’s UI class. Workaround: !!! dont call setUI in PeterCustomeTabbedPane, override the setUI() method and set whatever…

I am playing the gdbstub in qemu, i found a bug there http://peter.kingofcoders.com/?p=859 , if i invoke the function cpu_physical_memory_rw(0xffff0, mem_buf, 50, 0) , qemu crashes. Then, i tested the gdb command “x /20bx 0xffff0” and use tcpflow to capture the gdb packet, i found out gdb send 20 command and each time request one byte only.…

I found a bug in qemu, version 1.6.0 rc2. When i invoke: where addr=0xffff0 and noOfBytes=50, qemu will has segmentation fault. I called the cpu_physical_memory_rw right after the qemu is started (haven’t run yet) with gdb. The vm was in real mode, i am not sure it is crossing memory boundary problem. But i just…

QMP Supported Commands: This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP. Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage, QEMU’s manual, etc) can and should be consulted. QMP has two types of commands: regular…

JLibGDB need 335 mins to send 10 millions single step commands to gdb and execute. Not bad.
In bochs, i can invokes around 40 single step commands in my 2012 mac air. People think qemu is much faster than bochs, it is truth but not for single step. I wrote a java program and keep sending single-step command to qemu through socket (GDB protocol, the average speed is 32 commands per seconds.…

This is my first draft of design concept of the VM page in Titan, please give me comment PSD download here
If the openstack is down when you start titan server, it will show you the status.
The cloud computing industry is still young relative to the history of computing, but increasingly, speculators are in a rush to declare a “winner.” Of course, based on certain metrics it’s possible to identify leaders. But we certainly don’t think the game is over, and we were pleased to see that Charlie Babcock of InformationWeek agrees with…

This is the flowchart for qemu-gdb after i insert two breakpoints at 0x7c00 and 0x7c01, you can see everytime gdb hit a breakpoints, it will remove all breakpoints. And if the current address is the address that hit the breakpoint, when you want to “cont”, gdb will send a “s” command first.
if you are create your own debug server, gdb will crash, take a look: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I use Tightvnc java library to display the qemu screen in GKD. The tightvnc java library is able to display in a JFrame/JApplet, but not in a JPanel, so I modified it to make it work in a JPanel, all the code is in , take a look the function initVNCPanel()
After a few hours hack into the tightvnc code, i can display the vnc onto a JPanel, i will replace the buggy novnc with my own vnc proxy server, so user don’t need to setup the novnc for openstack but able to remote to every instance using openstack. PeterIPasswordRetriever.java:

my colleague Thomas discovered that if we send two commands to openstack using the curl to get the same token, the expiry will keep changing to later time. This will cause the token never expire.
There is a western friend told me he can’t use peter-dwarf to parse his 64 bits elf file, after i trace my code, i finally found my peter-dwarf library only support 32 bits elf. I need some time to enhance it and make it 64 bits.
I have a ubuntu 12.10 64 bits, i can easily install devstack, but there are some points still need to care about the devstack 1.

Correct me if i am wrong. Openstack components (nova, cinder, glance) controls libvirt to provide visualization and libvirt use qemu-kvm as the hypervisor. The reason openstack don’t control the qemu-kvm directly is because libvirt provides better cross VM functionality (it can adopt to xen, vmware, etc…) and it provides high-end function such pool management and…
