I have the same issue with a fresh 10.04 box. I tried downgrading these packages:
arcus@office:~$ sudo apt-get install libvirt-bin=0.7.5-5ubuntu27.13 libvirt0=0.7.5-5ubuntu27.13 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: open-iscsi libxml2-utils apache2-mpm-worker libaprutil1-ldap open-iscsi-utils kpartx apache2 ebtables apache2.2-common libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 ajaxterm apache2.2-bin ssl-cert kvm curl Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. Suggested packages: policykit-1 The following packages will be REMOVED nova-compute python-libvirt and then when I put nova-compute back: arcus@office:~$ sudo apt-get install nova-compute Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libhal-storage1 libx86-1 vbetool libhal1 hal pm-utils smartdimmer radeontool hal-info Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. The following extra packages will be installed: libvirt-bin libvirt0 python-libvirt so getting nowhere. I'm using: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nova-core/release/ubuntu lucid main I think this is what is causing my problems with contacting the metadata server. No matter that the iptables rules is in place, curl 169.254.169.254 fails. Might be the cause of the many messages about uncontactable metadata at the moment. -Mark -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794978 Title: libvirt fails to start on ubuntu 10.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/794978/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
