[CentOS-virt] dvd not whitelisted ???
Hi All, Scientific Linux 7.2 I am drawing a blank on Google here. I am, trying to boot a qemu-kvm virtual machine off of /dev/sr0 (my DVD). But I get the following error Error starting domain: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2016-12-22T00:00:30.330333Z qemu-kvm: -drive file=/dev/sr0,format=raw,if=none,media=cdrom, id=drive-sata0-0-0,readonly=on: could not open disk image /dev/sr0: Driver 'host_cdrom' is not whitelisted "Not whitelisted" What am I doing wrong?

[CentOS-virt] can't mount a bootable flash drive
Hi All, Scientific Linux 7.2 # rpm -qa \*kvm\* qemu-kvm-1.5.3-105.el7_2.3.x86_64 pcp-pmda-kvm-3.10.6-2.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-common-1.5.3-105.el7_2.3.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-kvm-1.2.17-13.el7_2.3.x86_64 I can mount NTFS flash drives on my Windows virtual machines by Add Hardware -> USB Host Device. They work fine. Except for one bootable Windows 7 Pro OEM x 64 USB flash drive I use for installing Windows 7. In Windows, under devices I get a bang mark saying the device failed to start. This same flash drive, when set as the bootable drive does boot into the Windows 7 install dialog. What am I doing wrong? Many thanks, -T -- ~~ Computers are like air conditioners.

It's smoother now, but still not as good as on my Fedora client machine (I'm using virt-viewer to get to the Windows KVM). Try using remote-viewer. For example: remote-viewer spice://127.0.0.1:5909 --title KVM-SL7 It is part of the virt-viewer package, so yo should already have it -- ~~ Computers are like air conditioners.

Thing is, the sha1sum was the same as the first time I downloaded the ISO so there was no corruption to speak of. I really don't know why it wasn't working before. I haven't done much in the preview except try out Spartan and do some configuration. I like the UI design. The only thing that really is driving me nuts is the mouse. My mouse is not running smoothly in the KVM. On my desktop (Fedora 20 running Gnome) my mouse is fine. In other KVMs (e.g. Fedora 22) the mouse works just as smoothly. But, in this preview build, there appears to be a lag...or something. It's difficult to describe. Umm...it's almost like frames are dropping. I don't know. Overall it just sucks and its killing my desire to play around with it more. My daughter has recently started playing the games at www.roblox.com. In this preview build, starting up any game makes Windows crash. Maybe a future build will fix that. Hi Kanwar, I am glad it worked. Sounds to me like Windows being Windows. SOF (Son-of-Frankenstein or Windows Nein, oops, Windows 10) is terrible quality. If it works right in your other VM's, then it is SOF's doing. If you can get a hold of XP and your daughters games will work in it, they will go a lot faster. Just run a good Anti Virus. Bit Defender or Kaspersky consistently score the best at av-comparatives.org. Bit Defender has a free home version. And don't believe the baloney about XP not being as secure as W7. If you look at the break in statistics, the two are at a statistical dead heat. SOF is now on to 10162.

[CentOS-virt] iTunes
Hi All, I am putting together a high end workstation quote for a customer. He is going to want a Virtual Machine, specifically so he can run iTunes (his wife buys music through iTunes and sync's them to her iPod). So which VM would you guys use? KVM or Virtual Box? I am very familiar with KVM and adore it. It's USB support is kind of weird though (iPod). I have been seriously burned by Virtual Box before and do not care much for the way Oracle does things, so I would have to bite my pride if Virtual Box would be better to run iTunes.
