Hi,
Since a year my libvirtd does not work anymore on my Gentoodesktop. In the meantime a used virtualbox. But I would like to have back libvirt. The problem was after libvirt should not only work with root privileges. I deinstalled all things with libvirt an kvm. I removed all things from /var and /etc manually. But all this has not helped. How the problem to appear?
I can start "kvm only" as every user. This works. So ok there is no technical problem with the virtualization. I can also start the libvirt daemon in the init. I can open virt-manager and connect to the hypervisor. I can start a virtual machine to create, but i can't and this process. When i click to finish the creationwizard, it creates an second libvirtd process. And it hangs.
ps aux | grep libvirt
root 22754 1.4 0.0 897848 10224 ? Sl 17:25 0:07 /usr/sbin/libvirtd -d
root 23969 0.0 0.0 897860 5892 ? S 17:33 0:00 /usr/sbin/libvirtd -d
So, ok i can kill the process. But this does not help. I don't know what i can to. To reinstall this hole system is not really the way.
libvirt 1.0.3-r2
qemu 1.2.2-r3
Thanks for every hint.
