Quote the essential part of the bug: "This is some apparmor issue. The qemu is not able to access /var/lib/libvirt directory when run as qemu:qemu. I changed the user to root:root, the things are working fine now."
Note: The default is libvirt-qemu:kvm which works just fine. Not sure where/why set qemu:qemu user/group for qemu. But if I do set so in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf and create such a user (qemu:qemu is no default as I said). With that set still the referred domcapabilities commands work. If with qemu/qemu I try to start a guest it fails: qemu-system-ppc64: failed to initialize KVM: Permission denied As we have: crw-rw---- 1 root kvm 10, 232 Feb 20 11:42 /dev/kvm The attached ./sos_commands/kernel/dmesg has no apparmor Denies. I have to set this to incomplete for now and need to ask: - why user qemu:qemu? - if you set non default users you might need to change a lot to get it working. - I read apparmor issues, but found none in the logs, could you provide the messages of the apparmor denies - the sosreport holds a lot, but just not e.g. the qemu.conf to set the user TL;DR - I need to see the actual failing config and the error/Denial by apparmor ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750543 Title: [power9][Ubuntu 18.04][4.15.0-10-generic][libvirt-bin-4.0.0-1ubuntu2] KVM guest unable start from libvirt "could not find capabilities for arch=ppc64le " (kvm) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-systems/+bug/1750543/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
