[opensuse-virtual] VirtualBox windows-7 guest?
by Thomas Taylor 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

I need to re-install Windows-7 (Professional) due to changing the motherboard/CPU on my desktop system. I currently dual boot with OS 13.1 & Win-7. This creates a difficulty as currently I have windows installed on sdb and re-map using Grub. If I let windows install itself it will use sda which is where openSUSE is loaded thereby over-writing it. What type of guest container would make a good choice for installing windows and why? This will be my first use of VB so don't know if a physical partition or a virtual one would work better. I've read the VB users guide but don't understand some of the methods regarding guest accounts. Would the type of guest affect things like internet access or port (serial/USB) utilization? This is for my personal computer and has no vital programs or data involved. The current OS 13.1 is backed up to 2 different devices and could be restored if problems develop.

[opensuse-virtual] libvirtd, qemu+ssh and polkit: internal error: received hangup / error event on socket?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, maybe this is an old issue, but I am just starting to set up my machines with libvirt and qemu-kvm, and tried using a remote connection. I already changed the following lines in libvirtd.conf: unix_sock_group = "libvirt" unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770" auth_unix_rw = "none" I made my user a member of said group 'libvirt'. And I restarted both libvirtd and polkit. I can connect as local user via virsh -c qemu:///sytem without a password prompt. I can also ssh into the remote host with my ssh key without problems. Trying from another machine (say hostname HOSTX, username testuser) with virsh -c qemu+ssh://testusers@HOSTX/system always results in > error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: internal error: > received hangup / error event on socket I found not much information on this error, so I need your help. /var/log/messages says: > 2014-03-24T21:25:55.023525+01:00 HOSTX sshd[3509]: Accepted > publickey for testuser from 192.168.79.8 port 54176 ssh2 > 2014-03-24T21:25:55.024744+01:00 HOSTX sshd[3509]: > pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user testuser by > (uid=0) 2014-03-24T21:25:55.025717+01:00 HOSTX kernel: [ > 3162.225673] type=1006 audit(1395692755.024:69): pid=3509 uid=0 old > auid=4294967295 new auid=1000 old ses=4294967295 new ses=24 res=1 > 2014-03-24T21:25:55.027501+01:00 HOSTX systemd[1]: Starting Session > 24 of user testuser. 2014-03-24T21:25:55.027918+01:00 HOSTX > systemd-logind[703]: New session 24 of user testuser. > 2014-03-24T21:25:55.028213+01:00 HOSTX systemd[1]: Started Session > 24 of user testuser. 2014-03-24T21:25:55.081719+01:00 HOSTX > sshd[3511]: Received disconnect from 192.168.79.8: 11: disconnected > by user 2014-03-24T21:25:55.082095+01:00 HOSTX sshd[3509]: > pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user testuser > 2014-03-24T21:25:55.086268+01:00 HOSTX systemd-logind[703]: Removed > session 24. I am curious about the "disconnected by user" line, but I could not figure out what causes this line. I tried adding the libvirt rules to /etc/polkit-default-privs.local and all kinds of javascript stuff to /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/, but to no avail. Is configuring polkit necessary anymore? I am using Tumbleweed, which means libvirt* is 1.1.2-2.18.3.x86_64 and polkit is polkit-0.112-2.1.x86_64.
