Hi, with my recent qemu update from 1.6 to 2.0 I got the following error:
* The kvm/qemu-kvm wrappers no longer exist, but your libvirt * instances are still pointing to it. Please update your * configs in /etc/libvirt/qemu/ to use the -enable-kvm flag * and the right system binary (e.g. qemu-system-x86_64). * ERROR: app-emulation/qemu-2.0.0::gentoo failed (pretend phase): * update your virt configs to not use qemu-kvm * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 93: Called pkg_pretend * qemu-2.0.0.ebuild, line 225: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "update your virt configs to not use qemu-kvm" I found this bug which explains the why but sadly not the how. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506566 I need to get rid of the reference to the /usr/bin/qemu-kvm shell script which is basically only a wrapper for "exec /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=kvm "$@"" So if I "sudo virsh edit vmname" and substitute "/usr/bin/qemu-kvm" by "/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=kvm -enable-kvm" I only get this error :( "error: Cannot check QEMU binary /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=kvm -enable-kvm: No such file or directory" How is this supposed to work? Do I need to create a custom shell skript or just use /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 w/o the args an hope it magically uses kvm acceleration? thanks for the help! heiko -- Just go ahead and write your own multitasking multiuser os!
