Virtualization With KVM On A Debian Lenny Server

[planet_fox]

Dear falco,

I have install kvm on my server @home with your totorial. All things looks ok. When I install debian over the virt installer. It is no problem, after the installation make debian a reboot than i switch to boot from hda an reboot system. Than come connect to console for guest and not more.

That's strange, I didn't have any problem with a Debian guest installation. Do you see any errors in your logs?

Which is the logfile of kvm ? and is it a problem my kvm installation run on the server and i connect from workstation to the server at home. The guest Installation is not a problem only after. Give it a option i can with console conecct to client over kvm or i must use the virt manager ?

I think the logs are somewhere in the /var/log directory (don't know the exact filename).

Have you tried to start the guest like this after the initial installation?

virsh --connect qemu:///system

start vm10

quit

Hi,

I follow the guide but when i try to connect from the remote machine (a debian dsktop or a archlinux desktop) y get the next message:

Unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon.

Libvirt URI is: qemu+ssh://root@silver/system

Verify that:
- The 'libvirtd' daemon has been started

and the error code es:

Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'qemu+ssh://root@silver/system':
<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> Tubería rota
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 486, in _open_thread
None], flags)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 99, in openAuth
if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')

Thanks
