I am a very long time Fedora user. Prior to that I ran Fedora Core and before that Red Hat Linux starting with (IIRC) 3.0.3.
A friend of mine says good things about ubuntu so I thought I would give it a try ... virtually.
So I downloaded the ubuntu 12.04.1 cdrom image for amd64. I defined a simple virtual to run it (general size, etc.) that I use for Fedora 17 virtuals. Boot it up to install ... it gets a graphic redish screen up and then virt-manager dies.
Entries in the syslog are: ====== Aug 26 08:52:04 condor libvirtd[888]: 2012-08-26 12:52:04.355+0000: 888: warning : virKeepAliveTimer:182 : No response from client 0x2145850 after 5 keepalive messages in 30 seconds Aug 26 08:52:05 condor libvirtd[888]: 2012-08-26 12:52:05.205+0000: 888: warning : qemuMonitorJSONHandleGraphics:672 : missing auth scheme in graphics event Aug 26 08:52:05 condor libvirtd[888]: 2012-08-26 12:52:05.206+0000: 888: warning : qemuMonitorJSONHandleGraphics:672 : missing auth scheme in graphics event Aug 26 08:52:05 condor libvirtd[888]: 2012-08-26 12:52:05.207+0000: 888: warning : qemuMonitorJSONHandleGraphics:672 : missing auth scheme in graphics event Aug 26 08:52:05 condor libvirtd[888]: 2012-08-26 12:52:05.207+0000: 888: warning : qemuMonitorJSONHandleGraphics:672 : missing auth scheme in graphics event Aug 26 08:52:05 condor libvirtd[888]: 2012-08-26 12:52:05.208+0000: 888: warning : qemuMonitorJSONHandleGraphics:672 : missing auth scheme in graphics event Aug 26 08:52:05 condor libvirtd[888]: 2012-08-26 12:52:05.208+0000: 888: warning : qemuMonitorJSONHandleGraphics:672 : missing auth scheme in graphics event ======
I restarted libvertd and then started virt-manager again.
The virtual systems that I had started were all still running. I shutdown/forced-off the ubuntu system and then deleted it. So much for ubuntu until I get more info.
Any ideas?
