Re: [Libguestfs] libguest-test-tool error report

Hello Rich, I am not sure if KVM ever ran. I put VirtualBox in it because I have never done virtualization before and found some instructions for VB. That said, I might have naively shut something off because I didn't know any better. No VB was not running at the time. I thought of that and turned it off. Though, I bet the services are still up. What is the standard kvm service? I could check to see if it is running properly. And we could go from there. Thanks for the quick response! -Mark Thanks, Mark Husted 770-236-1242 -----Original Message----- From: Richard W.M.

Does KVM generally work on this machine? Do you have VirtualBox or another hypervisor running at the same time? If you were running a later version of libguestfs then I would recommend setting: export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND_SETTINGS=force_tcg Unfortunately that doesn't work on 1.20 (added in 1.26) and doing the equivalent in RHEL 6 is rather involved. If KVM is broken or there's another hypervisor running you could also try making /dev/kvm unreadable (chmod 0 /dev/kvm <or> rm /dev/kvm).
