Bug Description

When I want to start novnc on controller node I got the following message:
nova-novncproxy is not running

I'm using OpenStack Folsom with Quantum and OpenVswitch plugin. (I'm using the packages in Folsom Trunk Testing)
I've a network node that's running:
- quantum-plugin-openvswitch-agent
- quantum-l3-agent
- quantum-dhcp-agent

Cloud controller runs:
- rabbitmq
- nova-api
- nova-scheduler
- nova-keystone
- nova-consoleauth
- nova-console
- quantum-server

Compute node runs
- nova-compute-qemu
- quantum-plugin-openvswitch-agent

nova-novncproxy is not listed in your (Cloud controller runs:) block above. You need to run it if you want to use novncy

This sounds like a packaging issue, not a nova issue.

Hi Eduard

Can you check in /var/log/upstart/nova-novncproxy.log for:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/nova-novncproxy", line 29, in <module>
    import websockify
ImportError: No module named websockify

I think two dependencies are missing: websockify and novnc.

summary: - nova-novncproxy is not running
+ nova-novncproxy is not running; missing deps on websockify and novnc

Hi James,
Thnx for your help but, I can't check that anymore I've changed the package repository and now everything works. The package repository Folsom Trunk Testing from :https://launchpad.net/~openstack-ubuntu-testing/+archive/folsom-trunk-testing
has this problem.
The packages repository: http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise-updates/folsom works fine. So the missing dependencies are in the package repository folsom-trunk-testing.
