Curious if anyone is using (successfully) ubuntu 14.04 with kvm,
virt-manager, qemu, spice, etc.
I ask because out of frustration with commercial vendors not supporting
virtualbox (meh oracle, can't blame em), and finally trying kvm now as
they have an image for that, just to launch this darn thing. KVM is
pretty new to me, or modern iterations of it, and it incessantly refuses
to import or build a vm, seemingly due to an issue with this spice
reporting it's not built in. Seemed an easy enough install on the
surface....
Did some research, spice as the graphic acceleration for console video
was new to me, seems more of a pain than worth, but I can't seem to work
around it and simply not use it. The module is there, yet the binary
reports it's not, no one else complains on teh googles since 12.04 with
the last major bug, but this simply refuses to work. The old references
from 12.04 just indicate it had to symlink a different binary, the
scripts were just broken with hard references, but that isn't the case.
This simply says spice isn't built into it, when every other thing seems
to indicate it is.
Tracking it back, some suggestions were to use the vnc lib vs. spice,
and that starts complaining that I think ubuntu screwed up the apparmor
profile as it's denying when I attempt the vnc display profile.
Removing apparmor just breaks libvirt and causes a segfault internally
without apparmor hook completion. I ended up wasting a better part of
today, and finally giving up in frustration, just to get a stinking f5
load-balancer appliance to boot.
Ugh. Starting to hate ubuntu again, and f5.
Anyone at all use ubuntu 14.04 with kvm successfully with or without
these quirks? Weird I don't see any trace of the same issues from
others, but really can't see how this is something I did wrong following
from a few diff "how to" guides on ubuntu 14.04 was was just installing
packages and a re-login for group perms.
