qrexec bug: event channel disconnected

[joanna]

I created one AppVM and qrexec works fine. Then I created another one (based on the same template, etc), and now qrexec doesn't work for this AppVM. It keeps saying:

connect: No such file or directory

and in the logs it says:

event channel disconnected

[joanna]

Ok, it's a problem when using the Qubes manager's "Start" button to start the VM first -- apparently it doesn't start the qrexec daemon.

The qvm-start tool works correctly though.

Moving this to 'gui-manager' category, and assigning to Tomek.

Fixed in ​http://git.qubes-os.org/?p=smoku/qubes-manager;a=commit;h=09278d2d9901bbc117c2fdb1ef1595f15a283fa9

Because of #160, we need to revert this - so, do NOT run qrexec_daemon from the manager.

[joanna]

Why are we reopening this? Didn't #160 fixed that as well?

[rafal]

No, #160 made the ​http://git.qubes-os.org/?p=smoku/qubes-manager;a=commit;h=09278d2d9901bbc117c2fdb1ef1595f15a283fa9 fix be broken. We cannot start qrexec_daemon twice for the same domain.

[joanna]

I understand. But doesn't #160 automatically solve the problem in this ticket?

[rafal]

Correct.
If you think this is a different issue than original issue this ticket was created for, and therefore a separate ticket should be created, this is fine.

Ok, I have merged tomek's branch omitting his commit. So, I assume it's fixed as of v 1.0.4:

​http://git.qubes-os.org/?p=joanna/qubes-manager.git;a=summary

[rafal]

However, I would like to see this commit be reverted in tomek's branch, too - otherwise, we will not be able to pull from tomek's branch.

[joanna]

Tomek's branch is screwed up -- I had to rebase it while merging with my branch.

Anyway, always pull from my branch and all should be fine :)
