Description of problem: Importing an Ubuntu disk image fails with 'Error: VMWare SVGA not available' I suspect this is because the act of choosing Ubuntu as the guest type is selcting VMWare SVGA (I tried both precise and saucy ) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-1.1.0-3.git310f6527.fc20.noarch virt-manager-common-1.1.0-3.git310f6527.fc20.noarch qemu-kvm-1.5.3-60.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Take an existing VM image (actually I suspect you can do this for a fresh install) 2. Create a new guest and select ubuntu precise as the guest OS 3. Try and start the VM Actual results: Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: Warning: option deprecated, use lost_tick_policy property of kvm-pit instead. Error: VMWare SVGA not available ' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 89, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1854, in do_install guest.start_install(meter=meter) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/guest.py", line 411, in start_install noboot) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/guest.py", line 475, in _create_guest dom = self.conn.createLinux(start_xml or final_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 3398, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: Warning: option deprecated, use lost_tick_policy property of kvm-pit instead. Error: VMWare SVGA not available Expected results: Booted guest. Additional info:
I can confirm this error with choosing Raring ubuntu in the linux version dropdown and a centOS 7 host. virt-manager 1.1.0 After leaving the linux version blank the new vm started, and the remove console worked as expected
I can also reproduce this issue on rhel7，so i will clone it to rhel7. Host build: Rhel7.1 snapshot1: http://download.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL-7.1-20141217.0/compose/Server/x86_64/os/ Related packages version: virt-manager-1.1.0-10.el7.noarch virt-install-1.1.0-10.el7.noarch libvirt-1.2.8-11.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-17.el7.x86_64 Steps: 1. Launch virt-manager, then create a new vm via iso image. Use ubuntu guest iso: ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso &ubuntu-13.04-server-amd64.iso 2. Use default settings, click "Forward" step by step, at last click "Finish" and begin to install guest. 3. Virt-manager show following error ...
