If you've got an F17/rawhide machine (or even an F17 VM) and some spare time, use em to run through your regular virt workflow and file bugs for any issues you hit. A bunch of us are hanging out in #fedora-test-day on freenode. More info, including specific test cases: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2012-04-12_Virtualization_Test_Day Todd Deshane previously posted some xen specific test info: http://openetherpad.org/xen-fedora-testing Thanks, Cole _______________________________________________ virt mailing list virt&lt; at &gt;lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt</pre> Cole Robinson 2012-04-12T12:50:35 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.virtualization/1708 <pre>Hi All, I noticed that the virt-preview repository at: http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/jforbes/virt-preview/fedora-16 Is no longer beeing updated, given that Justin has moved over to the Fedora kernel team this is understandable. So the question is what are we going to do with the virt-preview repository?

I'm trying to see if it can import my W-2 form, so I type in my employer's ID number and click the search button, and "Poof!" the spice client window disappears instantly. The virtual machine is still running OK, and I can restart the spice client and TAB to the button and hit Enter. That works fine. I don't know what it is about clicking that one button in that one screen in that one program, but it sure upsets the spice client. I clicked zillions of other buttons while filling out my taxes with no issues at all, but that one is too much for it. _______________________________________________ virt mailing list virt&lt; at &gt;lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt</pre> Tom Horsley 2012-04-10T01:16:22 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.virtualization/1702 <pre>See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805942 which describes the problem (all dnsmasq/qemu-kvm/etc processes started by libvirtd are killed by libvirtd restart) and https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-March/msg00946.html which has an earlier fix to part of the problem, and the discussion that led to the above bug being filed. _______________________________________________ virt mailing list virt&lt; at &gt;lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt</pre> Laine Stump 2012-04-09T11:22:29 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.virtualization/1690 <pre>Getting permission denied.

Berrange 2012-03-30T14:56:13 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.virtualization/1687 <pre>Hi, I'm running Fedora 16 and would like to install a KVM VM. On my preious Ubuntu system I used to install such a VM with: $ sudo virt-install [...] --vnc [...] (I'm a sudo fan, not guru) On my F16, running the same command gives me: Starting install... ERROR Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. This, IMHO, is due to the --vnc option trying to open a X11 window. But, if I "sudo -s" then run the same command, the installation goes on, with the X11 VNC window appearing. My system is a F16 XFCE spin, where I disabled SELinux. Would you know how to launch "sudo virt-install [..] --vnc [...]" as a bare user (without escalading with "sudo -s")? On the other hand, "sudo virsh [...] list --all" (which doesn't need VNC X11) works very well. Thank you. </pre> Mihamina Rakotomandimby 2012-03-30T10:42:17 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.virtualization/1680 <pre>This keeps the Fedora and RHEL defaults as-is, but makes the spec code clearer. I would like to get some review before committing this to the fedpkg repository.

The guest sees the network card and I can ping it from the guest itself but it has no access to the external network through the bridge. Other virtual machines, both Fedora and Win7, created in the F16 box do work. I tried deleting the network card in the guest and creating a new one but the same thing happens. Any ideas?

If I use VNC as the model, the keyboard works, but the display has a slow refresh rate. Any ideas on what it may be wrong? Running fedora 16, will updates installed.

As I see it there are two obvious options - Retire gPXE completely and add iPXE for use by everybody - Keep gPXE and add iPXE to be used by QEMU/KVM only I was wondering if people had any thoughts on the matter ? If we're quick there's still time todo this for Fedora 17, since we have not had any major Virt related test days yet - the OpenStack test day is March 8th (1+1/2 weeks away). Regards, Daniel [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPXE "gPXE development ceased in summer 2010, and several projects are migrating or considering migrating to iPXE as a result." </pre> Daniel P.
