Hi,

I am trying to package virt-manager, virtinst and virt-viewer for
foresight linux.


I have been able to package virt-manager and virtinst. When I run
virt-manager and try to connect to the local machine with kvm/qemu
installed it gives me a traceback about libvirtd not running.


I have libvirt installed as I can run kvm/qemu machines without much fuss.

Have I missed something?

Regards

Lance

(As background, Foresight Linux uses the Conary package manager as
written by rPath:

Before launching into virt-manager, start with the basics. What do
these commands say?

virsh list
virsh list --all
virsh -c qemu:///system list

Thank Richard,

I sent that a while ago and then found out that virsh does not exist.

I will have to package that first :-)

So I will get back to you on that

Thanks for the help

OK. virsh is part of libvirt.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your help.

I will go and make sure I get all the relevant packages built and installed
before I make my name arse again :-)

Thanks again

Lance
