I just installed the lucid's kernel. I've got the following traceback when trying to launch a VM :
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 588, in run_domain vm.startup() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 150, in startup self._backend.create() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 300, in create if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: internal error unable to start guest: open /dev/kvm: Permission denied Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support qemu: could not open disk image /home/fabiena/kvm/libvirt-image/obm23-lenny.qcow2 Then I changed permissions of /dev/kvm from crw-rw----+ 1 root kvm 10 to crw-rw----+ 1 root libvirtd 10 and I got the following error : Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 588, in run_domain vm.startup() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 150, in startup self._backend.create() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 300, in create if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: internal error unable to start guest: qemu: could not open disk image /home/fabiena/kvm/libvirt-image/obm23-lenny.qcow2 $ ls -l /home/fabiena/kvm/libvirt-image/obm23-lenny.qcow2-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1009516544 2010-01-05 18:01 /home/fabiena/kvm/libvirt- image/obm23-lenny.qcow2 The owner and group of this file have been changed (by libvirt ?) when I tried to run the VM. Then I tried this : $ sudo /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin restart And now I can run the VM and it uses VT ! Thanks for your information ! ---- So it seems that there are 2 troubles : - the group of /dev/kvm : I have to check how this group is set (maybe it's one of my script) - the restart of libvirt-bin daemon : does everyone have to do this or is it a trouble of my environment ? -- [PPA] VT is not used with libvirt 0.7.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503376 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
