Currently, libvirt is configured with --with-xen so it has xen support (obviously needed), but unfortunately this causes it to be linked with libxenstore. Thus the xen-libs dependency. You can still manage qemu/kvm instances without having the rest of xen though. Next installed vm-install: xen67:~ # zypper in vm-install .. Now xen-tools and xen-libs installed. vm-install starts fine and I can progress to the point of actually starting the install. When selecting 'OK' to start the install, I get an error dialog claiming "The hypervisor is not running" (will attach screenshot). So it seems to be working as you expect. Do you have libvirt installed and libvirtd running? You can use it to manage non-xen VMs. At this time, vm-install cannot be used to create qemu/kvm guests. Look for this feature in openSUSE11.2. -- 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.
