Public bug reported: Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
The default kvm installation does not work out of the box, instead throwing this message when starting virt-manager, which doesn't help much: Unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon. Libvirt URI is: qemu:///system Verify that: - The 'libvirt-bin' package is installed - The 'libvirtd' daemon has been started - You are member of the 'libvirtd' group The message should at least propose to logout / login to complete the installation, or the installation post-install scripts should warn / force this. Ideally this should not be necessary so we have the best user experience. The need to login/logout is mentioned in the installation docs FWIW, but surely this can be improved: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation#Add%20Users%20to%20Groups ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: kvm 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu16+0.14.0+noroms+0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-6.34-generic 2.6.38-rc7 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-6-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Mar 17 09:09:29 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Alpha amd64 (20110315) KvmCmdLine: Error: command ['ps', '-C', 'kvm', '-F'] failed with exit code 1: UID PID PPID C SZ RSS PSR STIME TTY TIME CMD MachineType: System manufacturer System Product Name ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-2.6.38-6-generic root=/dev/mapper/hostname-root ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: qemu-kvm UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 07/22/2010 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 1604 dmi.board.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.board.name: P7H55-M PRO dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. dmi.board.version: Rev 1.xx dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Asset-1234567890 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: Chassis Manufacture dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr1604:bd07/22/2010:svnSystemmanufacturer:pnSystemProductName:pvrSystemVersion:rvnASUSTeKComputerINC.:rnP7H55-MPRO:rvrRev1.xx:cvnChassisManufacture:ct3:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: System Product Name dmi.product.version: System Version dmi.sys.vendor: System manufacturer ** Affects: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug natty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/736844 Title: kvm default install throws "Unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon" requires logout + login -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
