[Bug 196850] Re: vm cannot access cd-rom unless run as root
Something is still not quite right with the Intrepid version. If I try to create a virtual machine booting from the 'real' cdrom, I get the following message: libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed internal error Timed out while reading monitor startup output It works as expected if I use the ISO image at my home directory. My user is part of the libvirtd group (128). I also tried running as root with the same result.

[Bug 196850] Re: vm cannot access cd-rom unless run as root
I just tried the proposed fix. My results are as follows:
1) I can confirm that with 0.5.3-0ubuntu9, both the CD option and the
use harddrive partition option were grayed-out when run as a normal user
and when run as root (i.e., changing to root did not help in my case).
2) When using the proposed fix 0.5.3-ubuntu10, the CD option was
available. Hard drive option was not, but I have not tried to run as
root.
3) I can confirm that the CD (in my case, "VISTA_64_BUSINESS") appears
twice in the menu, but as stated, this appears to be cosmetic and is
possibly related to the fact that /media/cdrom and /media/cdrom0 both
point to the CD.
4) When I selected to use the CD, the install began as normal by
creating the disk image, but this ended with a mysterious error that did
not occur with 0.5.3-ubuntu9 (i.e., this would seem to somehow be
related to the update):
Unable to complete install '
virDomainCreateLinux() failed Timed out while reading monitor startup output
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 620, in do_install

if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed',
conn=self)
libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed Timed out while reading monitor
startup output
'
5) This error does not appear to block continuing installation, but my
personal results after this point have all failed to finish the install.
Once, it failed because my processor was not set to 64bit, so I changed
the processor from i686 to x86_64 (I am running a core 2 duo processor,
which supports x86_64, but the Ubuntu I am running is i686). Next, it
failed on some unknown windows error before starting the actual windows
install, though the windows welcome screen did appear (meaning it was
accessing the CD). After this time, I upped the number of CPU available
to the virtual machine to 2. In this case, it wouldn't boot at all -
instead it would indicate that the CD had been detected, but would do no
more, though virt-manager indicated it was using CPU. This happened
regardless of whether I deleted and recreated the virtual machine. At
this point, I am out of options to try. As virt-manager appears to be
failing at multiple point, I am not sure whether these problems have
anything to do with the fix committed. I would be happy to report any
or all of this in a separate bug, but I am not sure what is actually
failing. Suggestions?

Eric, that should be ok. Normal users do not have permission to access internal hard disk partitions.

After the initial stage of guest OS installation, once it's rebooted, it cannot access the CD-ROM drive.

As such, it's only possible to boot with the CD-ROM drive, and not actually utilize it after booting. -- vm cannot access cd-rom unless run as root https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196850 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 196850] Re: vm cannot access cd-rom unless run as root
Not only do I have the same problem, but if I try to create Windows XP using an ISO image, it just doesn't get past the "Assigning storage space" screen. When I click "Forward", nothing happens at all. This is not the case when I try for example openSUSE. It creates the disk, but then it fails to boot from the ISO image. I'm guessing this is not resolved until some later release of kvm, and even then it works only with some tricks, but that is beside the point. The problem is how to use virt-manager. Did anybody even test it before releasing it? Now, kvm works fine, my previously created VM using CLIs works when I run it from the command line, and the good thing is that "-std-vga" option works. -- vm cannot access cd-rom unless run as root https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196850 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
