I got a similar result in F8. This was trying to create a virtual machine using qemu and kvm running Windows XP. I tried it running Virtual Machine Manager as unprevileged when starting it. Trying again, entering root password on VM Manager startup, allowed successful creation of the virtual machine. In addition, running the root password provided an extra config screen when creating the VM. This was to do with with the type of network (virtualised etc) to be connected to the VM. I just applied a fix for this upstream. http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virt-manager--devel?cs=f11ccb3e5264 I will close this bug when a new release is cut and pushed to F8. Thanks for bug report! virt-manager-0.5.3-1.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update virt-manager' While the problem as described has gone away, the patch only fixes half of the problem. The other half of the problem is that no NIC's get defined for the guests. This is due to the fact that vmmCreate._net gets populated in vmmCreate.validate(PAGE_NETWORK), but as that page is never shown to unprivileged users, the network never gets configured. Hmm, I'm not too familiar with how user mode networking is done: I was under the impression the page was deliberately skipped in the install because a regular user couldn't use any of the presented options. Let's use this bug to track the install failure issue, and I'll open a bug for the lack-of-networking issue. bz #378991 : add usermode networking support to virt-manager gah... my brain failed. bug is bz 428852 : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=428852 virt-manager-0.5.3-1.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
