After patiently waiting for 30+ hours during install attempts with the "Virtual Machine Manager", I realized that it wasn't going to happen. So then I read about a possibly working version, qemu-kvm How to use this to get a VM install up and going ? For instance, this command appears to begin an install, but where does it actually create a vm image from that?
I just install QEMU and virtual machine manager to use virtualization, but virt-manager cannot run properly. I can create a VM, then mount CDROM ISO, startup. With Windows installation, it runs well until format partition step, after that it is disconected and exit with error related to VNC. I dont know why have this problem cause the packages that I installed is from Fedora repo and I think they have been tested.
When I try this yum install kvm qemu libvirt python-virtinst qemu-kvm I become this error
Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/man/man1/qemu-img.1.gz from install of qemu-img-0.10.5-1.el5.2.x86_64 conflicts with file from package kvm-qemu-img-83-164.el5_5.25.x86_64
I am trying to convert my VirtualBox hard drives (.vdi) to VMware Workstation format (.vmdk). I found this link [URL] but cannot find the path for qemu-img. I downloaded Qemu Manager v7.0 from [URL]. Please disregard. I found it. C:Program Files (x86)QemuManagerqemuqemu-img
I'm running a Windows 7 guest using Virtual Machine Manager to launch my "console" to the VM. I believe it uses VNC to connect to the console. I'd like to have clipboard synchronization so I can copy from the host and paste to the guest.
Anyone familiar with QEMU? I'm attempting to load F15 for testing purposes along with REL 6. This is what happens, all goes well until it is actually starts downloading files to the virtual disk which appears to work until it gets to about 1/2 way completed, then it hard crashes(actually shuts the machine down). Also I had to turn of ACPI because when it is enabled it just hangs the VM altogether. I'm wondering if I should also turn off APIC?
Is there some way of loading a VM in verbose mode or debug mode to see what is happening and maybe causing this hard crash. The log files for QEMU shows nothing other then the normal loading of the virtual machine, its given name, source ISO and things of that nature.
I am facing some strange problem as using 2 nic's on kvm child vm. Secondary interface eth1 is not working on vm but eth0 is working , i am using routing mode, here below details.Platform --> Fedora 13 (for both KVM host and child vm)Start VM using 2 nics support using below command.

Has anyone seen this error in libvirtd?libvir: QEMU error : out of memoryWhatever it is, I'm pretty sure that's what's keeping my virt-manager from working. There's 12GB of DDR3 on this box, so I really really hope that it's not actually a memory problem. This here is a brand-new whitebox I build just for virtualization on F11. Can anyone here help me make it work?
Edit: This is a 64-bit install. All 12GB are accessible by the OS.
Having a problem, have built some VM's and importet some from JumpBox, but they will not boot from the HD. I am using files for the HDs mixture of ".img" and ".vmdk". I can boot and build from the network and CD/ISO, but after the installation completes it reboots attempts to boot from the HD and nothing happends. No error message is displayed.
Is anyone familiar with how to correct a glitch with Qemu-KVM that prevents virtual machines (Windows Server guests) from starting after the Linux host has been rebooted? It gives an error constructing a domain in /dev/sr0 because of /usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py line 493 [run_domain vm_startup], /usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py line 573 [startup self.vm create()] and /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py line 287 [create if ret=-1 raise libvirtError].
I'm running some vm's in FC12 with kvm-qemu and using virt machine manager. I'd like to have some ports automatically forward on startup and be able to add redirections on the fly. Redirection on the fly is talked about here, but I am getting lost on what should be basic instructions.[URL]
As far as startup, In the past I just ran qemu from the cli and manually specified redirection with redir. I can't figure out how to do it with The virt machine manager which I am using to start my VM's now. I do not want the guests to see the host. From cli startup without virt machine manager, it looked like this: qemu -m 256 -hda vm.img -redir tcp:5555::80 -redir tcp:5556::445 &
when i apply this command $ make install --> that for build qemu for symbian in ubuntu i face this error -->mkdir -p "/amn/symbian/gcc/sf/adapt/oss+FCL+adapt+qemu.hg/symbian-qemu-0.9.1-12/bin" mkdir: cannot create directory `/amn': Permission denied
I am using DSL thru QEMU. I was able to install it to a hard drive image.I started the SSH Service but I'm not able to connect to it from my Win 7 box via putty. I've edited the hosts.allow file to ALLOW external usersI've turned on the 22 port on my win 7 box firewall.
ive been struggling with this for the past 4-5 days, and finally give up trying to solve it by myself. ive been following the guide here: [URL].. everything works up until i get to the iptables command, when i put it in, i get the following message:
Code: iptables v1.4.10: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. this led me to believe that i did not configure my kernel correctly, so i rebuilt my kernel, building in all the modules that were listed. unfortunately, the only ones that were actually present in the make xconfig were
Qemu works normally for me, but the available resolutions do not include a widescreen option. Is there a work around or a command line parameter I can add to enable widescreen resolutions?
today I setup a USB drive to use Qemu to boot Backtrack. It was so easy my grandma could do this! My thanks goes out to anyone who worked on the Qemu project!Now, I am wondering, how hard it is to get a distro to run persistently, using Qemu. I would like to have my .bashrc, apps I install, small scripts I write, etc. saved instead of the default bootup each time.
It doesn't matter which distro it is as long as it is Debian based. I did find this thread which I will try later but it sounds almost like I need to boot from USB first... not quite sure. I was hoping I could get further insight from someone before I waist too much time working toward something that will not happen.
After I boot from a CD rom in QEMU, trying to reboot within the virtual machine (e.g. doing the "reboot" command at the root shell on Linux running inside), fails. The OS goes through the motions and the virtual machine starts to reboot. But then it cannot get to the CD the 2nd time around. The message I see in QEMU is:
Code:
Starting SeaBIOS (version pre-0.6.1-20100902_143500-palmer) Booting from CD-Rom... Boot failed: Could not read from CDROM (code 0003) No bootable device.
The qemu command I'm running is:
Code:
qemu-system-x86_64 -alt-grab -hda hda.img -cdrom cda.iso -m 1024 -boot d -net nic -net user -redir tcp:19043::22 -monitor stdio
SOLVED: not a QEMU problem at all..installers eject CD media when done and QEMU emulates this action correctly.
For some reason my QEMU guest no longer can connect to the internet. I have no idea what changed but it was working just a few days ago. I have an Ubuntu host and a debian guest. what I might be missing ?
Google says this has something to do with Intel hardware and the way it handles real mode. run it with -no-kvm, but that's not much of a fix really.. so in the mean time I reverted to using qemu-kvm-devel-88 which works well, but is pretty old.
I've just installed lenny from dvd, and am just settling in. I'm curious about virtual machines. so I've installed xen. With xen comes qemu by default. Now the setup I've recently become familiar with is Suse-11 which is quite slick.In Suse, Yast provides a distribution prepared virtual management section for xen, including an installer. Debian's setup is similar but not a clone. I want to try out the installer. Aside from the differences, debian has a screaming deficit. On booting dom0 in Lenny, if fails to get into gnome, badly. I can tell what's probably wrong, but I need to fix it. Now I'm also a gentoo fan and very practised at posting queries, so here goes.
Debian's config for X is somewhat unhelpful. The xorg.conf just states Configured device and configured monitor for its components. If it expanded on just what the settings were it would help. What I have is a frambuffer driver not loadinf or being implemented.
i heared that both modules are used to create virtual environment for linux, but what are the comparisons between them which differentiate them could you please explain them in brief .
I am running qemu version 0.13 on windows XP. My Host OS is Windows XP and my guest OS is Debian 4(Etch). How do I connect to internet from Debian OS? My windows OS can connect to Internet. The following is the launching command which I am using now to launch qemu in windows XP.
qemuqemu.exe -L "qemu" -boot c -hda "debian4.img" -m 512 -localtime -ctrl-grab -usb -net nic,model=ne2k_pci,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 -net user -redir udp:161::161 -redir tcp:4440::22
I'm developing my own OS, but I'm having some problems with Qemu, because I need to change the floppy image from grub.img to os.img while the emulation is running, but how can I do this?
