Re: [Libvir] QEMU without KVM
It didn't abort during initialization ... it aborted when I clicked on the VNC
(I'm assuming) window. In the log file, the error first occurs with the call to hald
(which wasn't installed on this system).
Once I installed hal, this problem cleared up (I guess that's one to put in the
troubleshooting guide huh?). The screen grabs work perfectly:)
Now I just need to finish my networking on the host side and I'll be all set (any
hints?).
BTW: My target is RHEL5, but I'm using a lot of software that doesn't have RPMs
yet, so I'm working this all out on Gentoo. As I mentioned before, I'm also going
to write up a comprehensive how-to.
I'm using the system to test installation scripts. One of the things that would be
very handy is the ability to copy a guest (image file, configuration, etc.). It could use
the same wizard that's used to create a new guest, with everything already filled in
(except a couple obvious fields).
Once I have some of this running, I'll dig into the Python code for virt-manager a bit
... I should be able to add a few enhancements myself.
Thanks again, smoyer

click in a child window (just DSL for now). The error messages are a bit cleaner now that
the networking issue if fixed (and I guess we know they're not related). Here's
what shows up on the console:

The word 'Aborted' is the key there. We call the DBus library, but it
is hitting a fatal error during its initialization & aborting the entire
process. That's not something we can work around in virt-manager :-(
Really need to figure out why dbus isn't setup correctly on this
machine. On Fedora systems that directory is created automatically by
the RPM install
$ rpm -qf /var/lib/dbus/
dbus-1.0.1-12.fc6
