Server :: Virt-Manager "make Sure Libvirtd Is Running"?
Jul 6, 2011
I have a tested and working ssh connection with my local network server. On Ubuntu it was simple to just add an ssh connection to Virtual Machine Manager to connect to 'hippopatamous.local' (yes thats the name of my server :P) but now that I'm in arch its different. I connect to the server using just 'hippopatamous' and on top of that its like the Virtual machine manager can't connect.
All it says is to make sure that libvirtd is running. I ssh-ed in to the server and make sure it was running. I even ran it on my local computer (this was before I remembered/realized this would be a server type daemon so running it locally wouldn't do anything)
It complains that it can't connect to localhost because probably libvirtd is not running. Well it is running, so please share your wisdom with me. Here is error message:
Unable to complete install: 'Invalid install location: Mounting location nfs://192.168.1.12/var/ftp/pub/ failed' when i try to make virtual machine using virt-manager. i get this error.why this occur,please tell i take these steps for making virtual m/c.
1 change system ip into static and install virtualization group.
2 make one partition where i want to install vitual m/c
3 then vim /etc/exports, in which i give path where is data and give rw permission to all. then restart services of portmap and nfs.
4 then on login with xen kernel and on terminal i give virt-manager command and follow steps. at last i get above error. where i m wrong,clearify me so i make vir m/c .
i'm having some issues trying to get the oSUSE 11.3 x64 hypervisor working, these are the errors im getting when i've opened the virtual machine manager, and clicked on one of the 2 options.
verify that 'libvirtd' daemon has been started:
Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'qemu:///system': unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock', libvirtd may need to be started: No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 971, in _try_open None], flags)
I have a query regarding top & virtual memory. When we run top it show VIRT (Virtual Mem), RES (Resident Mem) & SHR (Shared Memory). The total virtual memory of my machine is 4 GBs (2 GB RAM + 2 GB Swap), but still I am able to see a process showing 4000m virtual memory column. what it means, as its show VIRT Mem more than actual available VIRT memory
I'm using fedora12 with KVM. I'm also using iptables for filtering and nat. Problem is when I start libvirtd, it overwrites my current iptables and iptables config file (/etc/sysconfig/iptables).
Ok it leaves an old copy in /etc/sysconfig/iptables.old, but the main problem is that it removes also all my custom settings from filter and my full nat. I would like the keep control on my iptables and like to manage them on my own. But I cant find an option in the libvirtd config files and/or the libvirtd startup scripts to prevent libvirt from changing my iptables. how I can make libvirtd stop tempering with my iptables?
i'm trying to install virt-manager , to run a couple of virtual machines, i created a virtual nic vnet0 and bridged it to my eth0, i have configured the /etc/network/interfaces file with proper static ip, but i beleive the network manager is renaming my nic to eth1 and causing all kinds of problems. I uninstalled network manager and now i can ping anywhere in the network, but not outside it. ie google.com
I downloaded EasyPeasy (EP) to evaluate whether I wanted to put it on my wife's EeePC 900. I thought, why not install it in a virtual machine on my desktop system in order to play with it and see what needs to be done to get all the programs she will need working before I do the actual installation? So, I launched virt-manager, and tried to set up a virtual machine for EP 1.6. Well, it appears to be launching EP, but when it comes up, I have the top bar, but the tabs and lcons that should be on the desktop are nowhere to be found. When I try to shut it down, the shutdown freezes, so I wind up killing the virtual machine after waiting several minutes.
Every time I try to do this, I get the same results. This is whether I choose KVM or QEMU for the virtual machine. I have created it with 1 Gb RAM and 1 processor, then created a 16 Gb virtual drive. I started with 0 pre-allocated for the drive. I tried again one more time but this time actually allocating the full amount of the virtual drive before starting to see if it made any difference. It didn't.
I also noticed that it is not recognizing that I have a DVD with the ISO written to it (it is a bit too big for a CD). There is no option to use a USB thumb-drive or SD card that I can find. So, it appears I am stuck with using the ISO for this installation. It said that there was no disc in /dev/sr0 or /dev/sr1, even though the proper disc was there.
Under advanced options, I have tried both X86_64 and i686 with equally bad results.
For Linux versions, although there is an option for Fedora 13 as a guest, there is not an option for Ubuntu Lucid, from which EasyPeasy 1.6 is derived. I have tried several of the install versions from the list in an effort to get this to work. It didn't.
I have a VM with Windows XP that is driving me crazy. Everything works great except the display windows (and networking, but that is a different story) I am open VirtManager and go to display the OS and the images will get distorted. I will open IE and scroll down a webpage and some of the text will remain still and others will move, leave an image of garbage. This makes it very aggravating to use. To clear the page I can shake the window (using the cursor not my hands) or move from one tab to another till it clears.. then if I scroll again I have to deal with it all over again.
I tried virt-manager 0.8.0-7 or 0.8.1-1, my guest like fedora 12 i386, ubuntu i686, win xp do not have any sound even they detect the driver(es1370 or ac97) correctly. I doubt it is because of the pulseaudio and the qemu's user. Qemu uses not my user, it uses qemu user.
If I uses qemu-kvm directly, it has sound and work fine.
My first post on openSUSE, since migrating from Ubuntu (didn't like Unity!). I've installed the virtualization packages from YAST2 and when I attempt to run virt-manager, it crashes. The error is Code: could not import gobject (could not find _PyGObject_API object) I've searched both these forums and via a general Google and although I've found posts, all of them are apparently resolved - but not mine.
My laptop is fully up to date and running Gnome 3 on openSUSE 11.4.Has anyone else come across this lately?
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 .
When I access the guest with ssh and use it from there, it's fast like a real machine. It's only very very slow within virt-manager console. I am using Fedora 14 x86_64.
I have been trying to set up bridged networking, but I keep failing. I am using Fedora 14 x86_64 KDE as host with qemu-kvm and SPICE. The plan is to install a windows server, a few windows clients and then rawhide as guests on that. Naturally I want to use bridged networking for the windows guests.[URL]..But those both leave the guest without internet access. Is it really this difficult, or am I doing it wrong(tm)?
I just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 and now virt-manager won't start. If I try from the menu, nothing happens. If I try and start it from the command line (as root) it give the error:
I've been using KVM with great results on Slackware but one thing about Xen 4 that appeals to me is VGA and PCI passthru. I did try to install the Xen Slackbuild some time ago but failed. I'm afraid I can't remember why now. As far as I remember the Slackbuild was just out a day or so, so perhaps there were unresolved issues in the early days. How is Xen now? Does it run as well as KVM, for HVM as well as PV guests? Does virt-manager allow you to create Xen VMs or just KVM VMs? I'm very happy with KVM on Slackware (and Xen on NetBSD) but as I say, the Xen 4 release has some enticing features which pretty much do away with dual- and multi-booting. Full-throttle graphics in a VM?
I installed the latest 10.04.1 server minimal install and enabled the virtualisation option. I compiled enough X so that I could run virt-manager and I was able to create a couple of VMs and run them and manage them, but the problem is that in the graphs in manager, I can only get CPU usage, not Disk or Network IO. The options are greyed out. Am I missing something required for these graphs to work ?
I am a bit new to this - Ubuntu is ok with a gui but I am struggling with commands and I think I may have disabled Network Manager. The icon is there in the notification area but when I try to connect it says NetworkManager is not running and when I rightclick the icon the "enable networking" box is greyed out. It is on a desktop which now has no net access so I have not tried to remove and reinstall network-manager.
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 &
I'm a new fedora-user and are having some problems setting ut everything as i want:
The host to always use WIFI The host to not see the ethernet-connection. The guest to use ethernet The guest to be able to get wifi when no ethernet is avaible. The guest to install from PXE
The guest is going to be a Windows 7. Nothing is done so far, as i cannot figure out how to do this.
I'm curious, I believe that one of the ways that OSX make the GUI experience of *nix more 'snappy' was to ditch X and run the window manager more directly on the hardware.
If I'm looking to run Linux on a desktop, and have no interest in sending Windows to other machines on the network, can I run KDE or Gnome with no 'X' to eliminate that ever-so-slight lag with the window manager experience.
I guess basically what I'm asking is is there an equivalent of quartz for Linux?
Linux printing appeared to be working fine up until yesterday. Today typing lpq gives the following: lpq Printer 'sdst@other.domain' - cannot open connection - Connection timed out Make sure LPD server is running on the server
The /etc/cups/printers.conf file is properly set, the printers appear in localhost:631 and they are printing test pages. However, all command line print commands seem to be trying to print to sdst@other.domain I don't know why printers.conf is being ignored and why and how sdst@other.domain was added. Seems like it might have been auto-discovered?
# dit: sdst@other.domain was mentioned in /usr/local/etc/lpd.conf I'm not sure why lpd.conf is being used instead of /etc/cups/printers.conf

I have installed Ubuntu desktop on Ubuntu Server to get Boinc manager running. Now I want to remove Ubuntu-desktop.
Second Problem: /etc/init.d/xorg start : No such file or directory When the server boots i get a blinking cursor.
I have tried to install debian 5.0 and 4.0 without any luck. I have both tried virt-manager and virt-install with both debian-501-i386-netinst.iso, and full dvd. I't always gives me the same error:Starting install.Could not find an installable distribution at '/xen/debian-501-i386-netinst.iso'
I'm not sure if this helps and I'm not sure how to tell anyone what I found, but was a problem in Fedora 10 and 11 were VM's running in KVM would lockup due to (disk or network) IO activity. The problem silently vanished as soon as I installed Fedora 12 as my VM. I upgraded my VM to Fedora 13 and the problem re-surfaced. Oddly, no other distributions seem to have this problem any more judging from Google. My configuration:Host = x86_64, 4 cores, Fedora 11VM = i686, 2 virtual cores, Fedora 10, 11, or 13 (Fedora 12 works)What worked for me was using only one core in my VM. Things have been stable for a few days now
I have a fedora 13 rc3. The problem is that boot the system stops here Starting libvirtd daemon Prior to that, stop at this point registering binary handler for windows application. I got up to enter the tty2 to remove Wine This time to stop here Starting libvirtd daemon
Unfortunately accidentaly I disconnected my usb drive my computer and my VMs run from so I just rebooted for a quick fix Now I can't open virt-manager locally and the VM's can't get network connections I see this in the logs after the last two reboots
Code:
grep lxc /var/log/messages |tail -n 2 Jan 7 00:45:04 F820 libvirtd: 00:45:04.524: warning : lxcStartup:1895 : Unable to create cgroup for driver: No such device or address Jan 7 11:52:53 F820 libvirtd: 11:52:53.325: warning : lxcStartup:1895 : Unable to create cgroup for driver: No such device or address
[code]...
I tried restarting libvirtd after with no love so I rebooted and cgroup was gone this was a clean install of F14, after this started I brought the system current, I can provide the packages installed but they errors didnt change
i installed ubuntu 10.10 in my laptop.... initially the network connection was fine.... but from yesterday onwards i have problem that the network manager icon always shows that network manager is not running..... i.e., network is disabled......so that i right click on that icon and trying to disable network.... but it cant able to be done.... always it gets tick mark on enable network.... i cant able to remove these tick mark.... thats i cant able to connect network
