Re: [fedora-virt] A question about that my cpu do not support KVM

Daniel P. Berrange — 2012-05-21T08:49:19

Yes, you can use plain QEMU, but beware that you will find virtual
machines to be *very* slow since it is doing pure emulation. The
basic libvirt usage should all work fine & normal speed though.
Only stuff inside the guest is impacted

[fedora-virt] A question about that my cpu do not support KVM

wei — 2012-05-21T08:14:45

Hello,

I want to play with the LIBVIRT ,So I should install the KVM .
But my old cpu do not support it ,Can I just install the QEMU instead?
Many thanks!

Re: [fedora-virt] vcpu affinity issue after host resumes fromsuspend

Yes.  It's a known bug.

[fedora-virt] vcpu affinity issue after host resumes from suspend

Chuck Mattern — 2012-05-09T03:03:49

I am running a Lenovo T410 with an Intel Core i5 CPU M 560  < at > 2.67GHz and 8
gigs RAM.  When the laptop resumes from the suspended stat any running VM
will have it's CPU affinity locked to CPU0.  Has anyone else seen this?
 Any workarounds or permanent fixes?

Re: [fedora-virt] Log filling with bogus(?) VLAN-related errormessage

Adam Huffman — 2012-05-08T11:32:32

Actually 'iface-destroy' may be better.  In spite of the name, it
should stop the interface, rather than removing the configuration.

Hi,

Not yet... I'm planning to do so ASAP.

Never tried FC15 either, but just installing the xen packages in FC16
brought up a working virtualization environment every time I tried. I'll
give it a go again (no, I  don't have them installed right now) and let
you know if that still works for me.

Regards,
Dario

Adam Huffman — 2012-05-02T10:54:18

Came across your message when I saw similar errors.  In my case they
were interfering with the default network.

I found that running iface-undefine on the VLAN interfaces solved the problem.

If you need one set it up.

Hey, guys!

It would be cool to have one. Can we have one setup? I'd like it shared to me.

Re: [fedora-virt] Status of the virt preview repository?

Tom Hughes — 2012-04-12T14:21:08


It is using VNC yes. I'd love it to be using Spice but the lack of 64 
bit Windows drivers currently prevents me.

Testing with a linux VM that is using spice I can see that it does close 
properly there.

Re: [fedora-virt] Status of the virt preview repository?

Daniel P. Berrange — 2012-04-12T14:18:42

This is a bug in VNC support that is fixed upstream, but not yet fixed in
Fedora. It doesn't affect SPICE. Please file a BZ

Hmm,

Is the vm using vnc as display protocol perhaps? We made some
changes were on quit it waits for the display widget to get a
chance to properly clean up and close all sockets. These changes
were necessary to properly hand back usb devices which were
redirected to the client kernel, and as such they have been
developed and tested with spice vms, it could be we need some
fixes for vnc based vms... ?

Anybody else seeing a problem with the new virt-viewer?

Specifically I find that when I try and quite (with either the menu 
option or the window close icon) it disconnects from the guest and 
displays "Connected to graphic server" in the middle of the window but 
doesn't actually exit.
