Dell Latitude D630 OpenSUSE 11.3 x86_64 virt-manager-0.8.4-4.3.x86_64 kvm-0.12.3-2.9 virt-utils-1.1.2-1.7 In an attempt to create a windows xp virtual machine within KVM via virt-manager the installation starts properly and gets through the point where it performs its first reboot (entering into an old graphical screen instead of the ancient text-based screen where hardware drivers and basic partitioning can be done). At this point virt-manager throws an error stating that a boot loader could not be found and lets you know the installation may have failed. Expected Results: At this point virt-manager should let the VM start and boot normally to continue the installation. Actual Results: virt-manager fails to let things continue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

First, I'm running virt-manager as my non-root user. When I connect to the system (after starting libvirtd using `sudo /etc/init.d/libvirtd start`) I am prompted for the root password when I enter and then things seem fine (definitely running as root then, based on other files modified in that mode). The requested virt-manager.log was found in my user's home directory. The most-relevant part appears below. The time jump is from about the time that the VM reboot happened: <quote> [Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:47:03 virt-manager 17127] DEBUG (interface:1413) do_progress_change: -1.00 Installing...

Is there a reason I should need to start virt-manager as root rather than connecting to the system and getting prompted for root's credentials? I'm sure XP can work in this setup since I know people who have done it, but all of them create via the Command Line or some other utility.

I have made a fix for this specific issue and am able to install XP when starting the tools as a normal user. I am concerned that are likely other areas that will not work due to permission problems unless you are logged in as root (see also bug 574603). I think as a best practice for this release we should recommend users be logged in as 'root' when creating guests. In 4 to 6 weeks a maintenance release will come out with this fix. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Charles, can you confirm this fix was put into OpenSUSE? Looking through the changelog of vm-install I am definitely not seeing anything about this. I'm also not seeing the notes in this bug that I'm used to when a built is pushed out.

I regret to say the patch did not get checked in for the release and I'm not sure why. I have pulled it into our local repositories for all versions (11.3, 11.4 and SLE11SP1) and updated the change log files so that it won't get missed again. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
