can you just do: virsh -c qemu:///system
and does that connect to the console? If it doesn't you may be missing some packages. ----- Original Message ---- From: Stefan Undorf <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, February 7, 2009 8:21:09 PM Subject: Problems with using KVM/python-vm-builder on Intrepid Hi, I am a complete newbee to KVM. I followed the guide https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/jeos-and-vmbuilder.html to crete a virtual server machine of JeOS. I specified the follwing commands sudo vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --domain test --dest test --suite intrepid --flavour virtual --arch i386 -o --libvirt qemu:///system --user test --name Test --pass test --firstboot boot.sh --firstlogin login.sh --ip 33.138.211.14 --mask 255.255.255.248 --net 82.139.124.14 --bcast 83.218.221.15 --gw 70.26.22.15 --tmpfs - and I get a directory test with a file disk0.qcow2. Now I do not know how to proceed. In the directory is exists no shell script like some tutorials state, so I tried virsh -c qemu:///system start test and virsh -c qemu:///system start test/disk0.qcow2 but get an error: Connecting to uri: qemu:///system libvir: QEMU error : Domain not found error: failed to get domain 'test' 1. Do I have created a VM? I am not really sure about this. 2. How can VMs be started? 3. Does anybody know what the --domain parameter of vmbuilder is? What kind of domain is this? 4. I do not understand the difference between the --ip and --net parameters of vmbuilder. Is there a difference?
