Description of problem: the imagefactory service starts but builds fail if libvirtd is stopped Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): imagefactory-1.0.2-1.el6cf Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install aeolus-all 2. aeolus-configure -p mock 3. service libvirtd stop 4. service imagefactory restart 5. build some .tpl Actual results: errors in imagefactory.log Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory Expected results: libvirtd is started when imagefactory starts Additional info: related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=839323
I'd recommend that at most imagefactory gives a descriptive error when it fails because libvirtd isn't running.
Yeah, this just bit us again... really like to see this sooner than later... bumping priority. If you start imagefactory, it should check and start libvirt (if stopped)
