[libvirt-users] manually install a machine (no virt-install)
by Stallard, Adam
Hi,
I'm wondering if there are any guides to connecting a qemu image to libvirt without using any virt-manager tools. I wish to send poweroff / on signals to the machine, and it seems all I need to do so is the libvirt library. I'm working on building an embedded platform where the images are generated in a cross-compiled environment. I'm hoping I can integrate them into libvirt's scope without the use of virt-manager tools like virt-install.
As far as I can tell, I need to hand write /etc/libvirt/qemu/myimages.xml and /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/myimagenetworks.xml. Is this feasible?
If the machines are started up at boot time using qemu-system-x86_64, will these libvirt "profiles" provide a domain for libvirt visibility? I am trying to avoid adding virt-manager / python as a dependency to our host image as working with the dependency chain has been hellish so far.

[libvirt-users] Running ChromiumOS on libvirt
by Tony Arnold
Has anyone had any success running ChromiumOS as a VM under libvirt and
can provide, or point me to, a set of instructions for getting it to
work? I've tried and get as far as the white boot screen with the
Chromium logo, but the VM just hangs there.
Regards,
Tony.
