[libvirt-users] virt-install: "ERROR Host does not support any virtualization options"

Do you have qemu installed? Under what paths? Libvirt tries to find qemu-kvm under PATH or /usr/libexec/; then kvm and qemu-system-* under PATH; What about /dev/kvm - is it accessible? Please, provide libvirt logs as well. Michal

Hello, first of all thank you very much for your reply. The hint with the libvirt log pointed me into the right direction. While executing the virt-install cmd there was an error in the libvirt.log: 12:03:11.938: 3137: error : qemuCapsParseHelpStr:1165 : internal error cannot parse /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 version number in 'QEMU emulator version 1.0 (qemu-kvm-1.0), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard' Google for that error pointed me to a bug report. This bug still seems to be in the qemu-kvm version I was using (1.0-r2). Upgrading to version 9999 seemed to solve my issue. I don't get the error anymore and will now try to setup a virtual machine. Kind regards, Felix Blanke
Hello, sounds you are using gentoo-linux, right? Here on 1.0-r2 No Problems. You need to unmask some other depends to run 1.0-r2 marko Am 07.02.2012 12:23, schrieb Felix Blanke:

Hi, you're right, gentoo here :) Well, qemu-kvm emerged without problems, therefore my masking should be correct. Maybe it's a combination of versions which doesn't work, I don't know. Right now the virt-install command works. I have some trouble setting up a vm using vde. I don't know what to tell --network to use vde. If someone has a hint (like an example cmdline for virt-install using vde) and would share it with me would be great. Kind regards, Felix Blanke On 2/7/12 1:20 PM, Marko Weber wrote:

Hi, I tried (most) of your use flags without any change. Maybe it's because my CPU is very new and qemu-kvm-1.0-r2 has problem with that. Whatever, I'm fine with the 9999 version. Still needs to get a tutorial how to use vde with virt-install. Can't find anything in the net :( Kind regards, Felix Blanke On 2/7/12 1:42 PM, Marko Weber wrote:

first of all thank you very much for your reply.
The hint with the libvirt log pointed me into the right direction. While executing the virt-install cmd there was an error in the libvirt.log:
12:03:11.938: 3137: error : qemuCapsParseHelpStr:1165 : internal error cannot parse /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 version number in 'QEMU emulator version 1.0 (qemu-kvm-1.0), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard'
Google for that error pointed me to a bug report. This bug still seems to be in the qemu-kvm version I was using (1.0-r2). Upgrading to version 9999 seemed to solve my issue. I don't get the error anymore and will now try to setup a virtual machine.
Kind regards, Felix Blanke

Hi,
I tried (most) of your use flags without any change.
Maybe it's because my CPU is very new and qemu-kvm-1.0-r2 has problem with that. Whatever, I'm fine with the 9999 version.
Still needs to get a tutorial how to use vde with virt-install. Can't find anything in the net :(
The root cause is that older libvirt failed at parsing the qemu 1.0 version string. Please file a bug with your distro and ask them to backport this fix so other users won't hit the same problem: http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=dd8e8956060f38b084d581ed63f... - Cole

Hi Cole, you're right. I installed libvirt-0.9.8 (instead of 0.9.6) and it works fine with qemu-1.0-r2. Gentoo doesn't have to backport it. There is 0.9.8 allready in portage, but masked (means not 100% stable). But qemu-kvm-1.0-r2 is also marked as masked. Therefore it is only a combination of one masked (qemu-kvm-1.0-r2) and one unmasked (libvirt-0.9.6) package, which isn't anything I could complain about :) Maybe I should fill in a "bug" report that if qemu-kvm is unmasked they need to unmask libvirt, too. I'll thing about it. Thank you for clearing things up. Kind regards, Felix Blanke

Hi Michal, thanks for creating this page. Looks like a good way to tell other people from all distributions about this bug. This is the first time I'm "mentioned" in a wiki, I hope I can handle all that fame. Kind regards, Felix Blanke

Hi Michal, there's already a similar section in the FAQ: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/FAQ maybe we should find a way to merge the two? Thanks, Cole

I'd rather not as I expect this troubleshooting page to grow and having one huge page is useless/memory wasting/... In fact, I'd rather move those "common errors" under my troubleshooting and leave just link there. Michal

Sure, whatever you think is best. Thanks, Cole
