Cannot open connection to hypervisor #3

Closed Shackelford-Arden closed 6 years ago

Shackelford-Arden commented 6 years ago

Title contains the message. I'm receiving the following message now that I'm logged in:

Cannot open connection to hypervisor

I've confirmed that www-data is a member of the libvirtd group:

vm@vm:/var/www$ groups www-data
www-data : libvirtd

Is there something else I may have missed?

For reference: Ubuntu 18.04

@Shackelford-Arden I just setup a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04, ran through the setup steps and got an issue when trying to add www-data to libvirtd. It appears as the group has been changed. I added www-data to the libvirt group (no d) and restarted the machine. It is working. Let me know if you have any luck.

Soooo

1) That was helpful. Thank you. 2) I accidently uncommented a line in qemu.conf which was causing libvirt to never start.... I'm going to go to my corner now and re-think my life haha.

@Shackelford-Arden Glad you got it working. Just an FYI, you will need to create a storage pool first and start it before you can create a VM with a storage drive. I just opened up a feedback page at openvm.tech/feedback. I would like to hear your thoughts on the software after you get a chance to use it. Thanks, Matt
