Description of problem: when I try to run some new downloaded ISOs with virt-manager, it says: Unable to complete install: 'virDomainCreateLinux() failed internal error QEMU quit during console startup qemu: could not open disk image /mnt/storage/software/linux/ISOs/openSUSE-11.0-KDE4-LiveCD-i386.iso Details: Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> virDomainCreateLinux() failed internal error QEMU quit during console startup qemu: could not open disk image /mnt/storage/software/linux/ISOs/openSUSE-11.0-KDE4-LiveCD-i386.iso Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 651, in do_install dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 845, in start_install return self._do_install(consolecb, meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 866, in _do_install self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(install_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 833, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed internal error QEMU quit during console startup qemu: could not open disk image /mnt/storage/software/linux/ISOs/openSUSE-11.0-KDE4-LiveCD-i386.iso Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [dado@amelie ~]$ rpm -qi virt-manager qemu | grep -E "(Version|Release)" Version : 0.5.4 Vendor: Fedora Project Release : 4.fc9 Build Date: Fri 09 May 2008 08:21:13 PM CEST Version : 0.9.1 Vendor: Fedora Project Release : 5.fc9 Build Date: Mon 24 Mar 2008 10:32:08 PM CET How reproducible: Download a Live CD ISO, start virt-manager, connect to qemu and create the new VM. Actual results: The above error. Expected results: Created and running VM. Additional info: It could be related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447808 but I can't be sure. FWIW, this works on F8.
Same here. Is there any additional info that is needed to get this fixed?
All disk images must be in /var/lib/libvirt/images/ to comply with SELinux policy. Failing that you need to ensure the alternative directory you are using is labelled with 'virt_image_t'.
Thanks Dan, that works for me. As far as I'm concerned, the bug can be closed. Dalibor, can you check if what Dan described in comment #2 works for you?
Not really, I've already downgraded to F8, but I'll take your word on it that it works. :) You can close this.
Thanks, closing.
