Re: [Xen-users] virt-manager 0.8.2 local ISO and PXE boot install option greyed out on 2.6.32.27 pv-ops Dom0 kernel

virt-install is failing for some reason

then I tried (removing the bridge option here totally)

virsh version shows following

Compiled against library: libvir 0.7.5

Using API: QEMU 0.7.5

Can above output be some kind of source to several existing problems?

Though I am able to boot to pv-ops Dom0 kernel and xm info output confirms that.

Try virt-install command line utility.

Hi,
I just installed a pv-ops Dom0 2.6.32.27 Kernel on a 64 bit non VT machine.
Following instructions here
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xen4.0
for 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04

apt-get install bcc bin86 gawk bridge-utils iproute libcurl3
libcurl4-openssl-dev bzip2 module-init-tools transfig tgif texinfo
texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-recommended texlive-fonts-extra
texlive-fonts-recommended pciutils-dev mercurial build-essential make
gcc libc6-dev zlib1g-dev python python-dev python-twisted
libncurses5-dev patch libvncserver-dev libsdl-dev libjpeg62-dev iasl
libbz2-dev e2fslibs-dev git-core uuid-dev ocaml libx11-dev bison flex

apt-get install gcc-multilib
apt-get install xz-utils

make xen
make tools
make install-xen
make install-tools PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG=

I did not do make install-stubdom.




It is a Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 amd64 bit version.
Then as  mentioned here on this guide
http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2010/03/26/virst-installvirt-manager-at-xen-4-0-rc8-2-6-32-10-pvops-dom0-on-top-ubuntu-karmic-koala-server/
(I did not follow the above guide strictly)

Commented out (xend-unix-server yes) in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp ,
here is my xend-config.sxp
http://pastebin.com/M8CfrqBc
Then  exported variable  VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI=”xen:///”
in root’s .bashrc.
Then :-
# apt-get install ubuntu-virt-server ubuntu-virt-mgmt

Now when I open virt-manager the option to install from Local ISO or
PXE are greyed out.
virt-manager version is 0.8.2


Let me know if there is any possibility of improvement so that I can
get the option of install from Local ISO here.
