I also get this error:
libvirt-guests.service - LSB: suspend/resume libvirt guests on shutdown/boot
Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/libvirt-guests)
Active: failed since Sun, 29 May 2011 09:39:24 +0200; 12min ago
Process: 1192 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/libvirt-guests start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/libvirt-guests.service
But I think this from /var/log/messages is interesting:
May 29 09:39:24 henrydesktop libvirtd: 09:39:24.125: 1181: info : libvirt version: 0.8.8, package: 4.fc15 (Fedora Project, 2011-04-05-19:58:51, x86-01.phx2.fedoraproject.org)
May 29 09:39:24 henrydesktop libvirtd: 09:39:24.125: 1181: error : virGetHostname:2634 : internal error getaddrinfo failed for 'henrydesktop': Name or service not known
May 29 09:39:24 henrydesktop systemd[1]: libvirt-guests.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1
May 29 09:39:24 henrydesktop systemd[1]: Unit libvirt-guests.service entered failed state.
Seems libvirt fails, because it can't resolve my hostname henrydesktop with getaddrinfo.
I've also experienced the issue and have a solution for at least one variant of the problem.
After initial installation of a Fedora 15 x86_64 system, I get the following error trying to start libvirt-guests:
[root@my-hyp ~]# service libvirt-guests start
Starting libvirt-guests (via systemctl): Job failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details.
[FAILED]
Checking systemctl shows:
[root@my-hyp ~]# systemctl status libvirt-guests.service
libvirt-guests.service - LSB: suspend/resume libvirt guests on shutdown/boot
Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/libvirt-guests)

Process: 19447 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/libvirt-guests start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/libvirt-guests.service
And looking at /var/log/messages:
Jun 8 16:40:30 localhost systemd[1]: libvirt-guests.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1
Jun 8 16:40:30 localhost systemd[1]: Unit libvirt-guests.service entered failed state.
Obvious failures... I lucked into the cause, however by running "service libvirt-guests status" which produces:
[root@denethor-hyp ~]# service libvirt-guests status
/etc/init.d/libvirt-guests: line 37: /usr/bin/gettext.sh: No such file or directory
And doing a "yum provides '/usr/bin/gettext.sh'" shows that it's the "gettext" package that is missing. Install "gettext" and two dependencies (gettext-libs and libgomp) and the service starts normally.
I looked at the --requires entries for "libvirt-client-0.8.8-4.fc15.x86_64" and indeed "gettext" isn't listed. The .rpm packaging needs to be fixed. There may be other missing dependencies, but this is an obvious one.
According to Roger Johnson's solution, I installed the package 'gettext' and this fixed the start of the service. But I'm still getting this in /var/log/messages: Jun 9 07:38:44 henrydesktop libvirtd: 07:38:44.776: 1129: error : virGetHostname:2634 : internal error getaddrinfo failed for 'henrydesktop': Name or service not known I guess this is a different issue, and I should open a new bug report for it.

Need help i am getting the same error/ This should already be fixed in f15. Closing as dup of the fixed bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 680270 *** |
