Something that i would like to have, is the ability to keep the download packages in a temp directory when using febootstrap. I understand that using ferora/archlinux (distros with a lot of package updates every day) can increase the size of this temp directory rapidly and at some point will have a lot of deprecate packages. But the daily use of febootstrap (or building libguestfs) makes your

Hi all, i am trying (test) to save / restore a state of a winxp virtual machine. Perhaps i am missing that i can not restore save image to LVM partition.

Hi all, When I start self-built libvirtd by "libvirtd -d -l -f libvirtd.conf", it shows that error : virNetSocketNewListenUNIX:346 : Failed to bind socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Permission denied I have removed some requested comments in libvirtd.conf.

hi, i installed libvirt-1.2.1 from the source with xen-4.3.1 and i am facing the following error when restarting the libvirt. Installation steps: ./autogen.sh --system --with-xen=yes --with-libxl=yes make make install and in the libvirtd.conf i enabled the following things auth_unix_ro auth_unix_rw unix_sock_group unix_sock_ro_perms unix_sock_rw_perms unix_sock_dir and libvirt logs when

I applied your patch, but no success. What bothers me is that connection gets reseted. By the way, i'm using systemd, with process started in forking mode and as daemon. Could this cause any problems? This is my libvirtd.conf, if it helps anything: unix_sock_group = "libvirtd" unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770" auth_unix_ro = "none" auth_unix_rw = "none" Can

Hi all: My OS is now Fedora16 , and the spice server is installed on it by rpms. Then I run 'qemu-kvm -hda /root/vaddsoft.img -m 512 -vga qxl -spice port=5930,disable-ticketing' , I want to find out where is the libvirt.xml for the command . Well , I mean that the libvirt.xml is genrated automatically, not by myself manually. Wish your help! Thanks a lot! -- Yours. suyi

Dear List, I have installed a custom KVM on my Ubuntu 12.04 which I sometimes use. I would like to use it with libvirt, so I used apt-get to install libvirt, virt-viewer and virtinst. I can start virsh after installation and it says it is version 0.9.8, but once I get to trying to install a VM with virtinst, I get the error message: ERROR Host does not support any virtualisation options

NOT a problem, just a question about distro checking: the default value is REDHAT, then you check debian (or ubuntu) and then archlinux why are you using two if statements ? -- Evaggelos Balaskas - Unix System Engineer http://gr.linkedin.com/in/evaggelosbalaskas

I use my "custom" TMPDIR variable with virt-sparsify. I just type: export -p TMPDIR=/mnt/vm/tmpdir I do that for a couple reasons: either my /tmp is on a ramdisk or /tmp is on my (ssd) rootfs and i dont want to "full" my / with the temporally files. Thats said, i was thinking to "ask" OR sending a patch for adding a tmpdir OPTION for virt-sparsify like
