Description Tom Horsley 2011-05-07 23:20:32 UTC

Description of problem:

I'm trying to install a ubuntu 11.04 virtual machine, just to see if I can
use spice and qxl and such duing the install, and before I get that far,
I get the error:

Unable to complete install: 'internal error no disk format for /zooty/salvage/iso-images/ubuntu/11.04/amd64/ubuntu-11.04-alternate-amd64.iso and probing is disabled'

If disk format probing is gonna be disabled by default, shouldn't
virt-manager provide an initial definition that has the right format
info for an iso image file? (And what would that format be, by the
way - I certainly have no idea :-).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.8.7-4.fc15.noarch


How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.use virt-manager to try and install a new machine
2.point it at an iso image file as source for install
3.get the above error
  
Actual results:
disk format error

Expected results:
install starting from iso image

Comment 1 Tom Horsley 2011-05-08 00:16:14 UTC

OK, despite the error it was printing, this apparently has nothing to do with disk probing. I forgot that I had edited qemu.conf to explicitly enable disk probing by uncommenting the line for that option near the bottom, and I also had uncommented the user and group = root lines.

When I put back the original qemu.conf file, and rebooted to make sure everything was reinitialized properly, then it seems to be able to boot from the iso image. I have no idea why that was the error I was getting.

Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2011-07-11 17:00:00 UTC

Hmm, not sure either. If you can still reproduce, can you provide

virsh dumpxml $vmname
/var/log/libvirt/qemu/$vmname.log

Closing as NOTABUG for now
