virsh restore with modified xml "Error: xml modification unsupported" - xen

I'm trying to restore an a Xen VM (domain) from state file which I create previously. At the restore I need to modify the XML of this VM with the following command:
virsh restore domU.state --xml newconfig.xml
This command triggers an error with the following text:
error: Failed to restore domain from domU.state
error: argument unsupported: xml modification unsupported
What I already try:
restore without XML, which works perfectly.
run the command with the original xml the domain was created from
run the command with a totally different file which is not even an XML
At step 2. & 3. the error output was always the same.
Used versions:
xen 4.11.1
libvirt 5.1.0
os fedora 30

As the error message suggests, the ability to pass in custom XML when restoring a guest from a snapshot, is unfortunately not supported by the libvirt Xen (libxl) driver. This feature only works with QEMU/KVM at this time.

Grakn Error; trying to load schema for "phone calls" example

I am trying to run the example grakn migration "phone_calls" (using python and JSON files).
Before reaching there, I need to load the schema, but I am having trouble with getting the schema loaded, as shown here: https://dev.grakn.ai/docs/examples/phone-calls-schema
System:
-Mac OS 10.15
-grakn-core 1.8.3
-python 3.7.3
The grakn server is started. I checked and the 48555 TCP port is open, so I don't think there is any firewall issue. The schema file is in the same folder (phone_calls) as where the json data files is, for the next step. I am using a virtual environment. The error is below:
(project1_env) (base) tiffanytoor1#MacBook-Pro-2 onco % grakn server start
Storage is already running
Grakn Core Server is already running
(project1_env) (base) tiffanytoor1#MacBook-Pro-2 onco % grakn console --keyspace phone_calls --file phone_calls/schema.gql
Unable to create connection to Grakn instance at localhost:48555
Cause: io.grpc.StatusRuntimeException
UNKNOWN: Could not reach any contact point, make sure you've provided valid addresses (showing first 1, use getErrors() for more: Node(endPoint=/127.0.0.1:9042, hostId=null, hashCode=5f59fd46): com.datastax.oss.driver.api.core.connection.ConnectionInitException: [JanusGraph Session|control|connecting...] init query OPTIONS: error writing ). Please check server logs for the stack trace.
I would appreciate any help! Thanks!
Nevermind -- I found the solution, in case any one else runs into a similar problem. The server configuration file needs to be edited: point the data directory to your project data files (here: the phone_calls data files) & change the server IP address to your own.

Installing a package from private GitLab server on Windows

I am struggling with installing a package from a GitLab repository on a Windows computer.
I found different hints but still have problems to install my package from GitLab. First of all, I generated a public and private key with puttygen.exe. The files need to be changed afterwards, I had to remove comments and stuff so they look like my the file on my Unix system. So now, both public and private key files have just a single line.
I tried to install my package via devtools::install_git which takes very long and I get the error message
Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from Git:
Error in 'git2r_remote_ls': Failed to authenticate SSH session: Unable to send userauth-publickey request
And with devtools::install_gitlab I get a different error message and I somehow have the feeling, the link which gets generated doesn't fit to my GitLab server.
Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitLab:
cannot open URL 'https://gitlab.rlp.net/api/v4/projects/madejung%2FMQqueue.git/repository/files/DESCRIPTION/raw?ref=master'
My complete code to test at the moment is
creds <- git2r::cred_ssh_key(publickey="~/.ssh/id_rsa_gitlab.pub",
privatekey="~/.ssh/id_rsa_gitlab")
devtools::install_git(
url='git#gitlab.rlp.net:madejung/MQqueue.git',
quiet=FALSE,
credentials=creds)
devtools::install_gitlab(
repo='madejung/MQqueue.git',
host='gitlab.rlp.net',
quiet=FALSE,
credentials=creds
)
My id_rsa_gitlab.pub file looks like this and is just a single line:
ssh-rsa AAAA....fiwbw== rsa-key-20200121
The id_rsa_gitlab file has just the code:
AAABA.....3WNSIAGE=
Update
On my Mac system it works as expected after installing the libssh2 library via homebrew and and recompiling git2r with install.packages("git2r", type = "source").
So the working code on my machine is:
creds <- git2r::cred_ssh_key(publickey="~/.ssh/id_rsa_gitlab.rlp.net.pub",
privatekey="~/.ssh/id_rsa_gitlab.rlp.net")
devtools::install_git(
url='git#gitlab.rlp.net:madejung/MQqueue.git',
quiet=FALSE,
credentials=creds
)
For some strange reason, the devtools::install_git call needs about a minute to fail in the end. I have no idea where the problem here is.
After struggling for almost a day, I found a solution I can live with...
I first created a PAT (Personal Access Token) in my gitlab account and granted full API access. For some reason the read_only access didn't worked and I am now tired to figure out what the problem is.
After this I had still problems to install my package and for some reason, the wininet setting for downloading doesn't work.
I used the command capabilities("libcurl") to check if libcurl is available on my windows, which was and tried to overwrite wininet to libcurl by using method='libcurl' in the install function. Somehow, this was not enough so I overwrote the options variable download.file.method directly.
options("download.file.method"='libcurl')
devtools::install_gitlab(
repo='madejung/MQqueue',
auth_token='Ho...SOMETHING...xugzb',
host='gitlab.rlp.net',
quiet=FALSE, force=TRUE
)

install.keras() in RStudio fails with http connection error

I've been trying to install and run keras in RStudio (Windows) in vain.
i installed keras package using normal package "keras"
(didn't use github)
I've installed latest python (3.6) and Anaconda.
then i use
> library(keras)
> install.keras()
and i get this error:
Creating r-tensorflow conda environment for TensorFlow installation...
Fetching package metadata ... CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION

I've looked up everywhere on the web and can't figure out how to install keras and tensorflow properly. Using latest version of R (3.4.2)
Every method fails somewhere.
just to add to misery, i've also tried:
> devtools::install_github("rstudio/keras")
and i get this error:
Installation failed: Timeout was reached: Connection timed out after
10015 milliseconds
I am not behind any authenticated proxies. So, after multiple failure, i just downloaded the zip file from github and manually installed it using the zip file.
i also tried install.packages("keras") and that didn't give me any error either.
when i call the library i don't get any errors (as shown above)
UPDATE: I was able to install and use the package very easily on another computer that doesn't have python/anaconda installed on it already.
UPDATE 2: my proxy does not need authentication and there is no https_proxy either.
OK,, FINALLY found a solution.
Turns out RStudio uses a lot of default proxy settings, so i needed to change all that and set up my own proxy settings.
First step:
Rstudio --> Tools --> Global Options --> packages --> uncheck both "Use secure download method for HTTP" and "Use Internet Explorer librayr/proxy for HTTP"
Second step, in RStudio type:
> file.edit('./.Renviron')
Either an empty file or some file with already existing proxy settings will open. (Mine was empty). Then I included the following two:
http_proxy=http://myusename:password#proxy.server.com:port/
https_proxy=http://myusename:password#proxy.server.com:port/
(a few notes: I didn't have a https_proxy setting but I still needed to use the http_proxy details for my https_proxy setting. This was one of the culprits for my issue. Also, I needed to include the username:password even though my proxy doesn't need secure authentication. Same thing goes with the port. Port number had to be included, otherwise it wouldn't work.
Step 3:
Saved the new changes in .Renviron file and restarted RStudio.
I checked my proxy settings in RStudio after restart by typing:
> Sys.getenv("http_proxy")
> Sys.getenv("https_proxy")
The first few times i did this i realised that the proxy settings were not being changed in RStudio because i was editing the wrong .Renviron file. So, it's best to use file.edit('~/.Renviron') in step 2 to make sure it's the right file.
After all this, when i ran install.keras(), it installed successfully, including installing Tensorflow. Again, initially i had skipped step 1 so keras started being installed but it failed at installing tensorflow.
It was only going through all the steps that i was able to install both keras and tensorflow successfully over a proxy. Hope this helps.
Uninstalling Anaconda3 and installing Anaconda2 (i.e. Python 2.7) did the trick for me: https://www.anaconda.com/download/

Cannot proceed alfresco installation because of encoding mismatch

I am new to Alfresco and I am trying to install alfresco in my debian server(via ssh access) following the installation guide. However, the installation stops and shows me this error :
Error: There has been an error.
initdb.bin: encoding mismatch
The encoding you selected (UTF8) and the encoding that the selected
locale uses (LATIN1) do not match. This would lead to misbehavior in
various character string processing functions. Rerun initdb.bin and either
do not specify an encoding explicitly, or choose a matching combination.
I tried updating the locales of the server but still the issue exists. How do I fix this?
I have successfully installed it by doing the following steps:
Commented out the Send_ENV in /etc/ssh/ssh_config variable in the local machine and Accept_ENV in /etc/ssh/sshd_config variable in the server.
Edited /etc/locale.gen to uncomment en_US.UTF-8.
Ran locale-gen
Edited /etc/locale.conf and added LANG=en_US.UTF-8.
Successfully installed alfresco.

GOBJECT_INTROSPECTION_CHECK syntax error on configure

On "./configure" of an open source project I get:
user agent OS = Linux
./configure: line 13957: syntax error near unexpected token 0.9.3'
./configure: line 13957: GOBJECT_INTROSPECTION_CHECK(0.9.3)'
make: *** [config.status] Error 2
Ubuntu 12.04 package "gobject-introspection" and "libgirepository1.0-dev" are present. Removing the GOBJECT_INTROSPECTION_CHECK line allows configure to complete, but the project fails a dependency later.
How can I get past this configure step cleanly? Googling for this issue shows bugs filed against numerous OS projects for this same blocking issue, but the usual answer is "install gobject-introspection".
As the OP discovered on his own he had to install the gobject-introspection package to get the m4 macros that were being used.
The error message has the raw macro in it, as configure scripts are generated from configure.in/configure.ac files via m4/etc the fact that the raw macro is in the output file indicates that the macro did not get translated at generation time.
The gobject-introspection m4 files were apparently installed after autogen.sh (or equivalent) was run to generate the configure script. Re-running the autogen.sh script should regenerate the configure script and run the macro correctly.
