--- Comment #26 from James Fehlig
On repetition in the logs I see,
/var/log/messages Jul 7 15:01:56 server gconfd (root-12141): starting (version 2.22.0), pid 12141 user 'root' Jul 7 15:01:56 server gconfd (root-12141): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only configuration source at position 0 Jul 7 15:01:56 server gconfd (root-12141): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/root/.gconf" to a writable configuration source at position 1 Jul 7 15:01:56 server gconfd (root-12141): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only configuration source at position 2 Jul 7 15:01:56 server gconfd (root-12141): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.vendor" to a read-only configuration source at position 3 Jul 7 15:01:56 server gconfd (root-12141): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.schemas" to a read-only configuration source at position 4
I have no clue what this stuff is. Doug, is this something virt-manager is causing?
[Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:01:57 virt-manager 12139] WARNING (connection:487) Unable to list active networks [Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:01:57 virt-manager 12139] WARNING (connection:491) Unable to list inactive networks
And so on repeatedley.
For the libvirtd status I can check, I think correctly,
service libvirtd status Checking status of libvirtd unused
chkconfig --list | grep virt libvirtd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off
So it should be running in run levels 3 and 5. You certainly should be in one of those run levels :-).
So its not running. Is it required?
No, not required unless you want to manage the node remotely. You can connect virt-manager to a remote node via libvirtd running on that remote node.
I know from my reading that "libvirtd provides virbr0, an isolated netdev connected to external using forwarding+NAT" and since I will not use virbr0, but only several other bridge interfaces I will name, then I did think it is not required. It has never earlier been something required for me.
Well, you do get a noisy log file without it running. -- 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.
