libvirt users - Oct 2021 - apt libvirt package

Do you want this on CentOS 8, Ubuntu 20.04, or something else?  The help we
can give you will vary quite considerably depending on the distro you use;
and, as you point out, RedHat-derived and Debian-derived distributions are
very different.

For CentOS, do you have the advanced virtualization repo enabled?

Cheers,

I would prefer the ubuntu packages. I am most familiar with that distro.  I can
make centos8 work if I have to but I prefer not.

 

Thanks

Hello again,

 

So I have been struggling to compile the libvirt newest version  7.8.0.  I am
running CentOS 8 and during the meson build process I am getting non stop
dependency fails.  I keep installing the necessary packages and slowly
progressing.  Now the last one that stopped was gnutls.  When I go to install
that package   via  yum install gnutls -y it says that it is already complete
and installed.   Sigh??.

 

I am very surprised that there is no package for libvirt via rpm,yum etc? the
lastest one installed via yum was 6.0.0.

 

Can someone help by pointing to some where that has these latest packages?  Or
how best to compile this from source.  It is amazing how much is missing from
this distro.

 

Thanks again.

Brad

Hello, 

 

I am new to kvm/qemu/libvirt.  I am loving it.  I am working on setting my first
vm with shared file system with virtio-fs.  I got an error, and google foo said,
my version was too old.  When I checked it said.

 

libvirt version: 6.0.0, package: 0ubuntu8.14 (Matthew Ruffell matthew.ruffell at
canonical.com <mailto:matthew.ruffell at canonical.com>  Tue, 14 Sep 2021
14:00:49 +1200)

 

I used apt package manager to install libvirt. I am running on ubuntu 20.04.  I
have tried apt update libvirt and I get..no updates available.  What do I do at
this point?  Do I have to build it from source?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Brad
