It seems you can't access the rw socket.

You can also try:
  cat /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
It should give "cat: /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro: No such device or
address" not "permission denied".

Verify that the libvirtd daemon is running with the default config:

# ps ax| grep libvirtd
No output here? This is wrong.

You can only see the VMs (R/O mode: monitoring VM status only). That is, you cannot start/stop/pause the VM (R/W mode: full VM management). In the previous version you could.

Now, as root, and using virsh you can start and stop the VM:

laptop:~# virsh start WindowsXP
Domain WindowsXP started

laptop:~# virsh shutdown WindowsXP
Domain WindowsXP is being shutdown

The VM start and stop correctly and I can view it and use it with virt-manager (in R/O mode)

But as normal user you can't start it:

mig...@laptop:~$ virsh start WindowsXP
Cannot set group when not running as root
libvir: QEMU error : Domain not found
libvir: QEMU error : Domain not found
error: failed to get domain 'WindowsXP'
Try "virsh -c qemu:///system".

Another thing I noticed, the previous version used to start the dnsmasq automatically (I had ENABLED=0 in /etc/default/dnsmasq). This versión doesn't start dnsmasq and therefore denies network capabilities to the VMs.
This again is an indication that you're mixing access to qemu:///system
and qemu:///session.

Please make sure you use either --connect=qemu:///system (connect to
daemon started via /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin) or --connect=qemu:///session
(started as user) and retest with virsh and virt-manager.

Which version of virt-manager is this? I'm using 0.6.0-6.

I have temporaly enabled unstable (sid) on my /etc/apt/sources.list and installed virt-manager from sid with:

laptop:~# aptitude install -tsid virt-manager

This installed

virt-manager 0.6.0-6
virtinst 0.400.0-7

using this versión of virt-manager, all worked right.

Maybe the versión from testing (lenny) has some kind of incompatibility with the libvirtd version 0.4.6-10.

So it appears that fast tracking virt-manager 0.4.6-10 from sid to lenny solves this problem.

I continue testing for further problems, but in the meantime I can start/stop/pause the VM without problem.

Thank you very much Guido.




Well, finally all is working OK. This is what I did, but I'm not sure if it was the restart or the upgrade of the packages what solved the problem.

1. Enabled again sid on /etc/apt/sources.list

2. Reinstall all the packages from sid:
 # aptitude update && aptitude install -t sid kvm virt-manager\
    libvirt-bin libvirt0 virtinst dnsmasq dnsmasq-base

This only update the versions from dnsmasq and dnsmasq-base. The other packages had the same version in lenny and sid.

3. Disable dnsmasq from /etc/default/dnsmasq

   ENABLE=0

4. Restart the services.
   This not worked but I could see a Zombie dnsmasq proccess with ps ax.
  So I decided to

5. Restart the machine

After rebooting, all worked as before, the network is working and I can start/stop/pause the VMs.

Finally, these are the versions from the packages:

dnsmasq  2.46-1
dnsmasq-base 2.46-1
virt-manager 0.6.0-6
libvirt-bin 0.4.6-10
libvirt0 0.4.6-10
python-libvirt 0.4.6-10
kvm 72+dfsg-4

So, maybe rebooting the machine before upgrading the dnsmasq to the sid version could have fixed the problem, but I will never know.

So for now all is working right, although with the unstable versions.

Thank you very much again,
Miguel Cobá
