Description aaron.moate 2009-01-13 00:04:27 UTC

Description of problem:
qemudExtractVersion() in qemu_conf will not get the KVM hypervisor's version if /usr/bin/qemu does not exist (because it is hard-wired to search for a capability with an os_type of 'hvm', an arch of 'i686', and a domain of 'qemu').  The capability does not exist since /usr/bin/qemu does not exist, and even if the arch x86_64 capability was selected, /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 does not exist (/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_864 does).  If 32-bit qemu existed at /usr/bin/qemu, it would not reflect the version of KVM. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt: LIBVIRT_0_5_1-146-gb035434
kvm: kvm-81
linux: 2.6.28-rc8-00043-ga3dd154-dirty
qemu: Not Installed

How reproducible:
Very

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run libvirtd without the /usr/bin/qemu (make sure it doesn't exist)
2.Run 'virt version'
  
Actual results:
Compiled against library: libvir 0.5.1
Using library: libvir 0.5.1
Using API: QEMU 0.5.1
libvir: Remote error : library function returned error but did not set virterror
error: failed to get the hypervisor version

Expected results:
Compiled against library: libvir 0.5.1
Using library: libvir 0.5.1
Using API: QEMU 0.5.1
Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.9.1


Additional info:
A temporary fix for the bug is:
ln -svf /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 /usr/bin/qemu

Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2009-03-20 13:05:23 UTC

Should be fixed upstream with this:

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 10:41:28 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Comment 3 Daniel Berrangé 2009-08-04 15:17:23 UTC

This was fixed in the libvirt available at time of F11 GA
