qemu updated to 1.1 and libvirt to 0.9.13 : nothing works! - virt - Fedora mailing-lists

21 Jul 2012


      Hi all,
I updated my vm server yesterday with the latest packages from virt-preview : qemu 1.1, libvirt 0.9.13, and virt-manager 0.9.3
Unfortunately, I couldn't connect using virsh anymore (nor using virt-manager). I had the same problem a few days earlier when I forced installation of those packages from rawhide for testing purposes, but I hadn't time to report.
yesterday, I increased the log verbosity, so here it is :
#virsh -d 4 list
erreur :Failed to reconnect to the hypervisor
erreur :pas de connexion valide
erreur :no connection driver available for No connection for URI qemu:///system
erreur :Failed to reconnect to the hypervisor
in /var/log/messages :
with loglevel = 2 :
(libvirtd startup, nothing especially wrong)

I also have a log with loglevel=1, but it is far longer... However, the section corresponding to the virsh list is short :

I'm not sure why in this latest log, the URI is qemu:///system while it seems to be "null" in the first one... However, none of them worked.
Precision : virsh list was entered in root. By the way, virt-manager (not working either, but I haven't kept the logs) was run by a non-privileged user which is asked a password when connecting.
Currently, I managed to go back to a working state by yum removing qemu*, libvirt* and then "yum install --disablerepo=fedora-virt-preview qemu* libvirt* virt-*" (or similar : I did not really installed all subpackages of libvirt* and virt-*). But if you were to push those packages to the main repos, that'll become problematic...
If necessary, it is quite easy to go back to the non-working state (yum update actually...), so tell me if it's needed for tests.
Frederic.
