Try some of these combinations: http://www.howtogeek.com/119293/4-ways-to-recover-from-a-crashed-or-frozen-x-server-on-linux/ The good thing is your vm is up and running. You should try SSHing into it if that works. On Fri, Jul 10, 2015 at 1:37 PM, KARR, DAVID <dk068x@att.com> wrote: > I’m confused.

I'm a beginner to libvirt and creating VMs, for that matter. I have a set of specifications for VMs I need to create and log into, but I have to create them on an Ubuntu box that I only have ssh access to. I won't have desktop GUI access, although I do have dynamic port forwarding, so I can access a browser GUI from my desktop. Reading through the libvirt info, I see numerous mentions

I'm having trouble booting a VM from an ISO, but my problems may not be virtualization issues, just general confusion. I'm running virt-manager on Ubuntu, but I need to boot a VM with an ISO that is based on CentOS. Is that possible? How do I define the VM in virt-manager to boot from an ISO? I initially created the VM with virt-install, but I started over with virt-manager, and now

I need to enable virtual machine extensions, like as described at http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Ubuntu_14.04&p=kvm&f=8 . I could do this in virsh, but I'd like to know if it's possible to do in virt-manager. I don't see an obvious way to do that.

I thought it odd that if I have a running VM and I do "virsh destroy" it results in a VM that is "shut off". To ACTUALLY destroy a VM, you have to follow that with "undefine". Could someone elaborate on how we ended up with these slightly confusing semantics?

I finally figured out my VNC configuration, so I can now run virt-manager to inspect and manipulate my VM. I initially created the VM with "virt-install", but I haven't been able to see the console or do anything with it. When I ran virt-manager, I tried to configure the vcpus (1->4) and change the boot order (cdrom, then disk, as I created the VM with an ISO). When I made
