kvm inactive network
- Thread starter CptCharis
- Start date
Ok guys problem solved....almost.
Let's see all the procedure.
First of all I create a group named kvm
and then I installed all the below packages
Next, make the root user and the kvm group the owner of the /var/lib/libvirt/images directory
and also change the permition of the above file
and I add my account to kvm group
After all that I start the service
and check it's status
Once service is active and running I install some additional packages
Last but no least I made some changes to the /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf file
Firstly I copy the original
and then I change below lines
#unix_sock_group = "libvirtd"
to the following
#unix_sock_group = "kvm"
and this line
#unix_sock_ro_perms = "0777"
changed it to this:
#unix_sock_ro_perms = "0770"
and restart the serive
Here I have to say that all the above are as per Jay LaCroix guide.
So once I tried to set up my first VM I had the above error as I mentioned on the first post.
Googling around I realised that the above packages were not enough for run qemu/kvm
So I also installed
but didn't work for me, then I install
But still the issue exist.
Next step I installed
...and Miraculous issue solved but a new one came up
Still googling I found that I have to download the below package
This solve my last problem and finally I can set up my first VM
Now my VM can not connect to the internet, I am still searching for a solution, if anybody can help is welcome.
I hope the above guide to be helpful to anybody.

Legend - what you have done so far, Capta - beyond my paygrade but I am watching with interest and thanks for sharing the steps you have taken, so clearly.
