virt-manager crashes libvirt

LukeGee · 2009-12-27 18:38:23

Hi there,

i use the current virt-manager from aur (0.8.2-1) and libvirt (0.7.5-1).

But libvirt crashes when virt-manager tries to connect:

What's wrong there? Or do i something wrong?

If you have upgraded glibc after installing/building libvirt, try rebuilding libvirt.

I did, but I get the same error :S
I also completely reinstalled virt-manager and libvirt and removed all config files etc.

jonnor · 2010-01-05 14:59:32

This seems to be a general protection fault, which is a sign of a programming error or similar.
In any case I suggest you take this upstream: http://libvirt.org/

LukeGee · 2010-01-05 16:13:01

mh I see in the aur at virt-manager;

Broken with libvirt 0.7.5-1 x86_64.

boris · 2010-01-21 13:48:11

Do you get anymore information if you run libvirtd like:

# /etc/rc.d/libvirtd stop
# libvirtd -v

Nope, just that from the first post.
I tried the libvirt-git package and I don't get this error, but it says that there is no hypervisor drvier for qemu:///system.

boris · 2010-01-22 17:02:08

In your guest configs do you have more than 1 vcpu assigned to each guest? May try brining it down to just 1 if thats the case

LukeGee · 2010-01-22 17:31:42

No I don't have any configurated guests. I can't start virt-manager again. It says now:

Jan 22 18:31:04 q9400-arch libvirtd: 18:31:04.860: error : virLibConnError:441 : no hypervisor driver available for qemu:///system

Did you install the git version from aur? What about from virtsh

# virtsh --readonly -c qemu:///system

This is of course assuming it can actually see the kvm drivers

Yes, I installed git libvirt version from aur.

[lukas@q9400-arch:~]$ virsh --readonly -c qemu:///system
Fehler: no hypervisor driver available for qemu:///system
Fehler: Verbindung zum Hypervisor scheiterte

But the kvm modules are loaded:

[lukas@q9400-arch:~]$ lsmod | grep kvm
kvm_intel 42750 0
kvm 254528 1 kvm_intel

boris · 2010-01-22 18:52:12

Ive seen other problems with the git version of libvirt; i suggest removing it and going back to the latest released version and attempt to get readonly access as before

With the latest version I can connect readonly (_and_ regular readwrite) with virsh (but with virt-manager libvirt segfaults)

boris · 2010-01-22 19:19:24

I would append the following on the ./configure line of the PKGBUILD

--enable-debug=yes

That will give you a better step by step up until the point of failure then maybe we can figure out why you are getting those invalid device node pointers.

LukeGee · 2010-01-22 20:14:13

I cannot make head or tail of it:

I updated libvirt to git-20100125. The crashes are gone, but when I try to install a guest, virtinst crashes with the following output:

Starting install...
ERROR internal error unable to start guest: chardev: opening backend "pty" failed

by running 'virsh start vzoltan0'; otherwise, please

libvirtError: internal error unable to start guest: chardev: opening backend "pty" failed

I have tried almost everything, from reverting to older git checkouts and the 0.6.5 stable release to updating virtinst, virtviewer and virt-manager to the latest hg builds. None of this worked, and I can't seem to find anything about this error on google either.

Does anyone have a solution?

blob · 2010-01-29 14:52:10

In case anyone else was plagued by this crash, building without libcap-ng seemed to resolve the problem

the_mat · 2010-01-30 01:15:01

great blob! I had the exact same problem as LuckyGee... using libvirt-git without libcap solved all my kvm woes (up until now, that is )

Mh, doesn't work for me. Same error: "no kvm driver..."

Ashren · 2010-01-30 22:43:30

LukeGee: Enable qemu "--with-qemu" and disable libcap "--without-capng" in the libvirtd-git PKGBUILD. That worked for me.

Ah yay, "--with-qemu" was missing. I just built it with "--without-capng".

Now it works for me. Thanks alot!!!
