You use virus to dump the vm definition to a xml file, e.g. to your home dir, copy it to the new machine, adjust it (e.g. name of the interface) and create a new machine with virus using that definition file. Unfortunately, I’m on the road at the moment and don’t know the details out of my head (i don’t use it so often). Use either man virsh or the libvirt documentation at https://www.libvirt.org/manpages/virsh.html or some sites as https://ostechnix.com/export-import-kvm-virtual-machines-linux/ https://serverfault.com/questions/707544/exporting-libvirtkvm-virtual-machines-to-files You can also compare your F35 configuration and your new F38 configuration to get a hint what may cause the problems. -- Peter Boy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pboy pboy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Timezone: CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2) Fedora Server Edition Working Group member Fedora docs team contributor Java developer and enthusiast _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
