[one-users] Ubuntu shutdown/image save

[Sean Abbott]

So, I'm attempting to create a master linux client image from which I
can deploy new clients easily.  I know that I'll eventually need to get
master contextualization.  However, before I get there, I'm having problems.

I created a template that used a raw hard disk and an ubuntu boot cd to
create a working ubuntu 12.04 VM.  Done, worked.
I used onevm saveas <vm-name> <disk-id> "ubuntu-base-image" to set up a
save.
I used onevm shutdown <vm-id> to shut it down.

At first, it appeared to work.  I was watching the vm from VNC and it
popped up a window asking if I wanted to shut it down (I need to
research how to make that window not happen in ubuntu). 

However.  The VM transitioned to "unknown" state about 5 minutes later
(initially it was "shutdown"), and the log says that it didn't properly
finish shutdown:

Thu May 17 16:19:33 2012 [LCM][I]: New VM state is SHUTDOWN
Thu May 17 16:24:38 2012 [VMM][I]: Command execution fail: /var/tmp/one/vmm/kvm/shutdown one-7 172.26.210.149 7 172.26.210.149
Thu May 17 16:24:38 2012 [VMM][E]: Timeout reached and VM one-7 is still alive
Thu May 17 16:24:38 2012 [VMM][I]: Timeout reached
Thu May 17 16:24:38 2012 [VMM][I]: ExitCode: 1
Thu May 17 16:24:38 2012 [VMM][I]: Failed to execute virtualization driver operation: shutdown.
Thu May 17 16:24:38 2012 [VMM][E]: Error shuting down VM: Timeout reached and VM one-7 is still alive
Thu May 17 16:24:38 2012 [LCM][I]: Fail to shutdown VM. Assuming that the VM is still RUNNING (will poll VM).
Thu May 17 16:24:38 2012 [VMM][I]: ExitCode: 0
Thu May 17 16:24:38 2012 [VMM][I]: VM not found, setting to UNKNOWN


And, presumably because of this, my image status "locked" and there is
no data that has made it into the image.

Is the answer that I need to figure out how to make ubuntu do a
clean/fast ACPI shutdown before I can make this work, or is something
else afoot.  Corollary question:  has anyone managed to make ubuntu do a
clean ACPI shutdown with no intervention?

Thanks!
