Description Dalibor Karlović 2008-06-22 14:44:48 EDT

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

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

Version     : 0.9.1                             Vendor: Fedora Project

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.

Comment 1 Nils Philippsen 2008-07-04 05:24:24 EDT

Same here. Is there any additional info that is needed to get this fixed?

Comment 2 Daniel Berrange 2008-07-23 11:20:25 EDT

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'.

Comment 3 Nils Philippsen 2008-07-23 12:43:21 EDT

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?

Comment 4 Dalibor Karlović 2008-07-23 13:14:15 EDT

Not really, I've already downgraded to F8, but I'll take your word on it that it
works. :) You can close this.

Comment 5 Nils Philippsen 2008-07-24 04:13:03 EDT

Thanks, closing.
