Hello I am a newbie to kvm and have followed your post to install kvm (at http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-8.10 ) and built a vm. It was very useful. I am doing it over ubuntu 8.10 desktop. Now that I am past that stage, I wanted to actually use the vm. When I do $ putty vm1 I am getting an error "No route to host" And when I use virt-viewer $ sudo virt-viewer -c qemu+ssh:///system I get the error "unable to find vnc graphics for vm1" What could be the problem? Apreciate any help Tx MSS
Are you running those commands on the KVM host or on a remote system? Can you run Code: sudo virsh --connect qemu:///system and then Code: list --all to see if the vm is running?
I am able to see the vm in virsh listing. Also when I launch it with $ kvm -hda disk01.img -m 512 -boot d -cdrom /home/ubiquity/hardy-i386.iso I can boot into the rescue mode. And I see the ifconfig return an IP address in 10.2.x.x range (My host IP is 172.25.65.xx) But when I try to boot in the normal mode it fails to connect to archive.ubuntu.com and fails to load a bunch of packges: x11-common libxau6 libxdmcp6 libxcb1 libxcb-xlib0 libx11-data libx11-6 libext6 libxmuu1 xauth libedit2 openssh-client libwrap0 openssh-server tcpd Host ifconfig (if it helps is) $ ifconfig br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:41:55:f2:6c inet addr:172.25.65.72 Bcast:172.25.65.95 Mask:255.255.255.224 inet6 addr: fe80::216:41ff:fe55:f26c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:550813 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:16515 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:78146284 (78.1 MB) TX bytes:3489983 (3.4 MB) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:41:55:f2:6c inet6 addr: fe80::216:41ff:fe55:f26c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:755646 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:16711 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:98480935 (98.4 MB) TX bytes:3504069 (3.5 MB) Memory:ee000000-ee020000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:17587 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:17587 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:20779660 (20.7 MB) TX bytes:20779660 (20.7 MB) vnet0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet addr:192.168.122.1 Bcast:192.168.122.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::bcdd:89ff:fe53:1f24/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:31 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:384 (384.0 B) TX bytes:5315 (5.3 KB) vnet1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr b2:19:04:13:b0:0c inet6 addr: fe80::b019:4ff:fe13:b00c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:81 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:18579 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 RX bytes:6291 (6.2 KB) TX bytes:2922607 (2.9 MB) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:02:4a:11:39 inet6 addr: fe80::213:2ff:fe4a:1139/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:204 (204.0 B) wmaster0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-13-02-4A-11-39-31-33-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) $ Additionally virsh # net-list --all Name State Autostart ----------------------------------------- default active yes Should I be able to see the bridged network interface here also?
