 |
|
Hi,
I tried to add a VM for Windows 10 to Virtual Machine Manager (acronym: VMM; package: app-emulation/virt-manager) using a KVM/QEMU connection and a VDI file with Win10 installed in it that I created using VirtualBox. What I did was I opened up VMM and clicked the "Create a new virtual machine" button. Then I went through the dialog that popped up, selected the .vdi file that VirtualBox had created for Win10 (in which I had installed Windows 10 via VirtualBox) for its disk image, then at step 4 of 4 in the "Create a new virtual machine" dialog I clicked "Finish" and it gave me an error that qxl couldn't be used as Video driver. So I ticked the box "Customize configuration before install" in the aforementioned dialog and clicked "Finish" again and a dialog to adjust the configuration popped up. In this dialog I clicked the "Video QXL" box down the side menu and set the Model to VGA in the drop-down box. Then I clicked the "Begin Installation" button in this configuration dialog and it gave me the error:
| Code: |
Unable to complete install: 'Domain has already been started!'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 88, in cb_wrapper
callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 2288, in _do_async_install
guest.start_install(meter=meter)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/guest.py", line 455, in start_install
raise RuntimeError(_("Domain has already been started!"))
RuntimeError: Domain has already been started!
|
I have searched Google for "Domain has already been started!" and I got 11 results and all of which seemed to refer to bug reports, mostly at the Red Hat Bugzilla (e.g., https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1441902 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453009) and not a single one seemed relevant to this situation as these reports were when people had deleted existing VMs and attempted to create new ones. I only just installed KVM/QEMU and virt-manager and I have no other VMs in it so far. The libvirtd service (as my Gentoo installation has systemd set up per the Gentoo Wiki guide) has been enabled and I have added myself to the libvirt, qemu and kvm groups and restarted.
Here (http://imgur.com/pqTPxlV) is a screenshot showing both dialogs, the config dialog and the "Create a new virtual machine" one.
If relevant my Gentoo system is testing (with the ~amd64 keyword), my Portage config settings and kernel config can be found in this repo: https://github.com/fusion809/gentoo-config.
Thanks for your time,
Brenton

I've seen that message bug me before. It IS probably running a domain with the same name.
| Code: |
$ sudo virsh list --all
Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------
3 win10 running
- SystemRescueCD shut off
|
Check that and see if you can reconnect. |

I wish it were that simple, unfortunately running that command just gives:

Downgraded Virt Manager to 1.4.0-r3 from 1.4.1 and the issue is fixed, hence this is a bug I'm gonna report.

Thank you for reporting back.
1.4.1 works fine here.
Could you post your versions of:
dev-python/libvirt-python
app-emulation/libvirt-glib
sys-libs/libosinfo
Especially the last one?  |

I'm gonna do ya one better and post the output of:
| Code: |
emerge -pqv dev-python/libvirt-python app-emulation/libvirt-glib sys-libs/libosinfo
|
which is:
| Code: |
[ebuild R ] dev-python/libvirt-python-3.2.0 USE="-examples {-test}" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_4 -python3_5"
[ebuild R ] app-emulation/libvirt-glib-1.0.0-r1 USE="introspection nls vala"
[ebuild R ] sys-libs/libosinfo-1.0.0-r1 USE="introspection vala {-test}"
