Package xbitmaps probably should be an optional dependency because MiniEdit crashes without it.

I have sent you a patch in email. Could you please apply that?

pedromj commented on 2018-05-07 06:45

I have updated to "2.2.2", please test it. Thank you.

To be able to use xterm h1 inside the cli, one should install the package xorg-xhost first

# systemctl enable ovsdb-server.service
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
4) In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
instance name specified.

Please backport mininet commit 96ea536 [1] into this package, in order to fix an issue caused by mininet's interaction with systemd (see mininet issue #565 [2]).

It should be noted by @jetm's contribution that the post install message seems to include a mistake. ovsdb-server is enabled twice and ovs-vswitchd is started twice.

Both ovsdb-server and ovs-vswitchd should be enabled and started afterwards.

This mistake got my attention after @francozappa's issue Mininet/626 on GitHub (https://github.com/mininet/mininet/issues/626)

To sum it up, the correct sequence is:

$ systemctl enable ovsdb-server.service
$ systemctl start ovsdb-server.service
$ systemctl enable ovs-vswitchd.service
$ systemctl start ovs-vswitchd.service

I've updated the package. Please test it.

@glindste: Thanks! With your suggestions mininet runs as it's expected.

@pedromj:

To avoid these errors, I would put openvswitch as a required dependency (non optional). Also, I would show a message after installation saying ovsdb-server.service and ovs-vswitchd.service are needed to be executed before call 'sudo mn' or I would enable them.

For a post installation message you can take an example on virtio-win AUR package. Look in virtio-win.install file.

For start the required services, I think with just execute these will be OK:

$ systemctl enable ovsdb-server.service
$ systemctl start ovs-vswitchd.service
$ systemctl enable ovsdb-server.service
$ systemctl start ovs-vswitchd.service

If you need help with AUR package, let me know. I can send you a Git patch.

Regards.

Ok, solved it now. After installing openvswitch, start BOTH ovsdb-server.service and ovs-vswitchd.service. Then 'sudo mn' should run fine.
