Public bug reported: Binary package hint: python-virtinst
1) Ubuntu version : 9.04 2) Package release : 0.400.1-2ubuntu2 3) when trying to install a new virtual machine using virt-install using all the good options, I hope it works properly 4) when trying to install a new virtual machine I have the following error : virt-install -n foo -r 512 -f foo.vm -s 400 -c iso/jeos.iso --accelerate --connect=qemu:///system --vnc --noautoconsole -v ERROR Unsupported virtualization type 'hvm' It seems there is no guest node (never append any Guest in Capabilities.parseXML) so the Capabilities.guestForOSType return a None object ! After adding some print commands in the source code I see that conn.getCapabilities return the following xml : <capabilities> <host> <cpu> <arch>x86_64</arch> </cpu> </host> </capabilities> So the Capabilities object only have the host property and no guests... FINALLY : - is the error message is correct (if guest is a None object it's not because of the virtualization type) ? - is it possible to raise an error if no guest is found ? - anything else ???? I had been able to reproduce this error on multiple servers for both ubuntu and fedora. ** Affects: virtinst (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- virt-install fails because missing 'guest' node in the xml https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402784 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
