Public bug reported: Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm assumes that a bridge exists (/etc/qemu-ifup doesn't check if the bridge exists before adding an interface to it.) and that the user will always want the interface added to it. This is not necessarily the case and causes properly defined machines via libvirt to fail with a cryptic error. error: Failed to start domain ubuntu error: monitor socket did not show up.: Connection refused n...@acer-aspire-5536:~$ virsh dumpxml ubuntu <domain type='kvm'> <name>ubuntu</name> <uuid>a16c5cc6-fcec-f621-9dce-03e32c619f6f</uuid> <memory>524288</memory> <currentMemory>524288</currentMemory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-0.12'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> </features> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>destroy</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <source file='/home/neil/machines/ubuntu-kvm/tmpSB2rjR.qcow2'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> </disk> <interface type='ethernet'> <mac address='52:54:00:4a:ca:ae'/> <model type='virtio'/> </interface> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'/> <video> <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/> </video> </devices> </domain> ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: qemu-common 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-22.33-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-22-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri May 14 11:56:32 2010 Dependencies: seabios 0.5.1-0ubuntu2 vgabios 0.6c-2ubuntu1 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Alpha amd64 (20100224.1) KvmCmdLine: Error: command ['ps', '-C', 'kvm', '-F'] failed with exit code 1: UID PID PPID C SZ RSS PSR STIME TTY TIME CMD Lsusb: Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub MachineType: Acer Aspire 5536 PackageArchitecture: all ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic root=UUID=97bd7f86-677a-4093-8e28-e292a06e0ebd ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: qemu-kvm dmi.bios.date: 02/27/2009 dmi.bios.vendor: Phoenix Technologies LTD dmi.bios.version: V1.03 dmi.board.name: JV50PU dmi.board.vendor: Acer dmi.board.version: Rev dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Acer dmi.chassis.version: N/A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnPhoenixTechnologiesLTD:bvrV1.03:bd02/27/2009:svnAcer:pnAspire5536:pvr0100:rvnAcer:rnJV50PU:rvrRev:cvnAcer:ct10:cvrN/A: dmi.product.name: Aspire 5536 dmi.product.version: 0100 dmi.sys.vendor: Acer ** Affects: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug lucid -- qemu-ifup script stops libvirt 'ethernet' interface machines from starting. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580454 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- 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
