Bug Description

I have recently upgraded from Oneiric to Precise and noticed that 'euca-get-console-output <instance>' no longer returns data.

Some investigation reveals that there may be a regression where the libvirt template is set to log to a log file, but nova-compute is reading a fifo. Comparing an Oneirc template against a Precise template seems to confirm the difference.

Could you please fix the template so that libvirt will log to a fifo?

Instances that have been created seem to behave correctly, but only their console output is unavailable.

Some investigations:
----------------------------

$ grep -c fifo /usr/share/pyshared/nova/virt/libvirt.xml.template
0

$ grep log /usr/share/pyshared/nova/virt/libvirt.xml.template
            <source path='${basepath}/console.log'/>

$ dpkg-query --show nova-compute

Hey Andrew, thanks for reporting. It seems there was an error when forward-porting the FIFO console log patch from oneiric to precise/essex. I believe Chuck is the process of refreshing it and fixing it, so it the newer version of the patch will include the changes required to get a proper libvirt template.
