Description of problem: After loading cockpit on F35 Workstation, a VM can not set up on the F35 WS. This is working fine on F34. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Cockpit 253-1.fc35 Cockpit-bridge 250-1.fc35 Cockpit-networkmanager 253-1.fc35 Cockpit-system 253-1.fc35 Cockpit-machines 252-1.fc35 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Load cockpit as follows: sudo dnf install cockpit sudo dnf install cockpit-machines sudo dnf install virt-viewer sudo systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit --permanent sudo firewall-cmd --reload reboot 2. Open with Firefox at localhost:9090 Login as root (works fine) 3. In Networks add a bridge that includes eno1 and uses STP (works fine) 4. Click Virtual Machines Responds with "libvirt is no active" Actual results: After clicking Click (Virtual Machines) button it Responds with "libvirt is not active" The "Thouble Shoot and then Show more relationships" seems to indicate a chain of failures. Expected results: After clicking Virtual Machines the page where a VM can be added should appear. Additional info:
Proposed as a Blocker for 35-final by Fedora user tablepc using the blocker tracking app because: Since Cockpit is sort of the premier management tool for Fedora Linux, one would expect full functionality. I this case the server will be on a VM running on F35 WS where Cockpit was installed. Reference Requirements: 2.8.2
This was fixed upstream a few days ago: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-machines/pull/387 It will be part of Wednesday's c-machines 253 release.
Discussed during the 2021-09-27 blocker review meeting: [0] The decision to classify this bug as a "RejectedBlocker (Final)" was made as this does not violate any criteria; the cockpit criteria do not cover virtualization, and the virtualization criterion covers the 'recommended virtualization technology', which does not include Cockpit as currently defined.
