[libvirt-users] Error when creating domain with virsh+qemu

[Stefano Ghio]

Cheers,

I'm working on Ubuntu server 11.10 32 bit with libvirt 0.9.2 and 
qemu-kvm 0.14.1. I have a user oneadmin:oneadmin who also belongs to kvm 
and libvirtd groups. I have set qemu.conf and libvirtd.conf with 
user/group oneadmin.

I have disk.0 and deployment.0 files owned by oneadmin. My system does 
not support hardware virtualization so I don't have /dev/kvm. I'm able 
to start VM with qemu anyways but when issuing the command:

virsh -c qemu:///system create deployment.0

I get:

error: Failed to create domain from deployment.0
error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: 
13:00:52.354:1291: info: libvirt version: 0.9.2
13:00:52.371: 1291: debug : virCommandHook:1826 : Waiting on parent for 
handshake complete on 23
13:00:52.371: 1291: debug : virCommandHook:1842 : Hook is done 0
open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory
failed to initialize KVM: Operation not permitted

"error while connecting to monitor" looks to me as something 
permission-related but I tried a lot of combinations between the qemu 
and libvirt conf files and nothing worked (yes, I always restarted the 
system after every change).

If I start the same image with sudo /usr/bin/qemu-system-i386 -hda 
disk.img -boot d -m 384 it works

Any help?

Thanks
