Slackware :: Install Xen Failed - Virt-manager Allow To Create Xen VMs Or Just KVM VMs?
Mar 8, 2011
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 have CentOS 5.5 and try to create KVM virtual machine with CentOS 5.5 as a guest. But when I exec command:
virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name test --ram 1024 --file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img --file-size=10 --vnc --cdrom=/var/lib/libvirt/images/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso --vncport=10000 --accelerate --os-type=linux --nonsparse --livecd --hvm

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'm using virt-manager with qemu/kvm to run a linux guest, but the console screen is TOO slow!
tessio@dhcppc0 ~]$ lsmod | grep -i kvm
kvm_amd 36872 6
kvm 257292 1 kvm_amd
tessio@dhcppc0 ~]$
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:
GLib-GIO:ERROR:/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.26.0/gio/gdbusconnection.c:2270:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL)Aborted
I've tried searching and can't seem to find anything related, but was hoping this might make some sense to someone.

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'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 &

64 13.1 it's patched to the very latest.I need my terminals. I use them. They do work until X is started.How do I get them to not go away when X is started?radeon 5450I added an append in lilo.conf ofvideo=radeonfbAnd I load the radeon module before I startx/sbin/modprobe radeonBut all of the tty(2 through 6) still disappear as soon as X is started.By "disappear", I mean that there's no cursor or text on the screen -- appears as if is in sleep mode but neither the mouse nor the keyboard -- IOW tty login remains not available.

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)

I tried most of the methods using a graphical interface to create a live USB through a 64-bit dvd image to install opensuse 11.2 including unetbootin, Win32DiskImager, Mandriva's Seed... Everything failed, so I'm left with the option to do it through the command prompt. There is a dd tool for Windows, and I got the command line instructions in the Live USB page. One thing I don't understand is that how is insert my path of the iso image for this command in Windows: # dd if=/path/to/iso/openSUSE-11.2-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M;sync; Should I replace the bit # dd if=/path/to/iso/openSUSE-11.2-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso, with like something like # dd if= CDownloadsOpensuse11.2x-64.iso?

Using 11.0 64bit OpenSuse. I was updating this workstation. Everything was working good. I rebooted from the last set of updates and now I am trying to access the Package Manager from yast, but it is not working now. It starts up, then it goes to an "Initializing", then a popup says that "Accessing the Package Manager Failed". It also notes that something else is using the package manager, then gives me choice to either continue or retry.

I have succesfully installed Ubuntu 10.10 server and want to install a virtual machine with the same OS.
For installation purpose, I mounted a cdrom drive, keyboard and monitor.
On my attempt to do the installation, I get the following sequence:
Code:
sudo virt-install
> --connect qemu:///system
> --name sweb
> --ram 512
> --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/sweb.img,size=20
> --network bridge=br1
> --cdrom /dev/cdrom
[sudo] password for karelv:
code....
I have tried the procedure from the physical console as well as from remote (using Putty on a windows machine) in a SSH window.I also tried to install from an iso file on disk in stead of the cdrom. All with the same result.

I have just installed Slackware 13.37 onto /dev/sda1 I during Setup refused to install Lillo. That's a VERY old program
and I can't see why anyone is messing with it these days. So now all I can boot from is a USB memory stick. This is a problem, because it is slow and I have another OS on /dev/sda3 which I would like to have the option to boot. I need boot manager like Grub to boot from the hard drive /dev/sda.I've always had the installing operating system do this automatically, and I expected Slackware 13.37 would act like them other modern distributions, but no such luck.

I'm trying to install Slackware 64 on a raid 0 fakeraid, I found out that I need kernel support for that. Dm raid. What I did was, I made a virtual machine with no raid compiled the kernel and created a new iso file wich included in the /kernels folder my own kernel too. I burned the image but on boot I got the "image checksum error..." I got confused by all the stuff I've read about linux booting.I need a simple guide how to make a custom made Slackware iso to boot. How do I generate new checksums, how should I write the iso file to make it work?

I don't think that the KDE Partition Manager works well on my PC. When I have used it, it often says that there was some sort of error; details escape me. But, if I do the exact same thing with Parted Magic Live CD, I get no errors. SlackBuilds has gparted with 6 dependencies. If I use sbopkg, do I select the last dependency first, the second to last dependency second and so on, or does order matter? Finally, and I am embarrassed to ask this in a Slackware forum but, is there an easier way to get a different partition manager? Is there a better partition manager?
