Hello.
I've tried to compile a custom libvirt-python+virt-manager stack following these tutorials : https://developer.ibm.com/technologies/linux/tutorials/compiling-libvirt-and-qemu/ https://gist.github.com/ffledgling/9e06ee32431d9a8f6d9bec3a0db35634 on my jetson nano (arm64 + ubuntu 18.04). In details,these are the steps that I did : 1. Install Git and clone both upstream libvirt and qemu repos. git clone https://github.com/qemu/qemu.git git clone https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt.git 1. Configure and build the qemu code and then install the qemu code. The make install command creates the binary files in the /usr/local directory. cd qemu mkdir -p build cd build ../configure --prefix=/usr/local --target-list=aarch64-softmmu,arm-softmmu --enable-guest-agent --enable-vnc --enable-vnc-jpeg --enable-vnc-png --enable-kvm --enable-spice --enable-sdl --enable-gtk --enable-virglrenderer --enable-opengl make -j sudo make install 2.1) qemu 6.0 has been detected correctly at this point : #qemu-system-aarch64 --version QEMU emulator version 6.0.50 (v6.0.0-1145-g7258034ab4) Copyright (c) 2003-2021 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers 1. Configure and build libvirt and then install the libvirt code. Libvirt_build contains the log and configuration files for the daemons and the qemu driver. cd ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt mkdir -p libvirt_build cd ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt $ meson libvirt_build $ ninja -C libvirt_build $ ninja -C libvirt_build install 1. Run the following commands from /root/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build directory to start the libvirt daemon (libvirtd). ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build# sudo ./run src/virtlockd & sudo ./run src/virtlogd & sudo ./run src/libvirtd 1. Here is the ouput of the virt process running in my system : ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt_build# ps axf | grep virt 30925 pts/0 S 0:00 | _ sudo ./run src/virtlockd 30929 pts/0 S 0:00 | | _ src/virtlockd 30926 pts/0 S 0:00 | _ sudo ./run src/virtlogd 30930 pts/0 S 0:00 | | _ src/virtlogd 31201 pts/0 S 0:00 | _ sudo ./run src/virtlockd 31205 pts/0 S 0:00 | | _ src/virtlockd 31202 pts/0 S 0:00 | _ sudo ./run src/virtlogd 31207 pts/0 S 0:00 | | _ src/virtlogd 31204 pts/0 S+ 0:00 | _ sudo ./run src/libvirtd 31206 pts/0 Sl+ 0:01 | _ src/libvirtd 4732 pts/1 S+ 0:00 _ grep --color=auto virt 31413 ?

Install libvirt-python next because I need to use virt-manager and that requires libvirt python bindings ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build# sudo ./run tools/virsh list --all Id Name State ------------------------------ 1. Install libvirt-python next because I need to use virt-manager and that requires libvirt python bindings CUSTOM_ROOT=/home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build mkdir - p $CUSTOM_ROOT/src #cp -r /root/Scrivania/Scrivania/Dati/Data/Nano/I9/Tools/virt-manager-3.2.0 /home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/src ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/src/libvirt-python-7.3.0# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CUSTOM_ROOT/lib ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/src/libvirt-python-7.3.0# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$CUSTOM_ROOT/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/src/libvirt-python-7.3.0# python setup.py build ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/src/libvirt-python-7.3.0# python setup.py install --root $CUSTOM_ROOT LOG : https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/SVHkDhXs2s/ 1. Then I've installed a custom virt-manager into the same location and it should pick up the newer python bindings : #cp -r /root/Scrivania/Scrivania/Dati/Data/Nano/I9/Tools/virt-manager-3.2.0 /home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/src #cd virt-manager-3.2.0 #python setup.py install --root $CUSTOM_ROOT LOG : https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/bCn5Q3yHVX/ 1. Finally I put all in my $PATH : export PATH=$CUSTOM_ROOT/bin:$PATH export PATH=$CUSTOM_ROOT/usr/bin:$PATH #echo $PATH /home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/usr/bin:/home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/zi/Desktop/Work:/root/Desktop/turbovnc/jtx1_remote_access >/tmp/turbovnc-build/bin/:/root/Desktop/turbovnc/jtx1_remote_access/tmp/virtualgl-build/bin/ 1. Unfortunately,when I try to run virt-manager with this command,it does not work : /home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/usr/bin# python virt-manager *Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/usr/bin/virt-manager", line 6, in from virtManager import virt manager ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'virtManager'* Where is the mistake ? Thanks very much. -- Mario.
