Hi, I am trying to run libvirtd on MacOS X, but for now without success. My hypervisor is VirtualBox. Libvirt is installed from ports system. Without libvirtd I can see my virtual machines: LIBVIRT_LOG_FILTERS=1:vbox virsh -c vbox:///session setlocale: No such file or directory 2012-09-13 08:56:43.937+0000: -1: info : libvirt version: 0.9.10 2012-09-13 08:56:43.937+0000: -1: debug : tryLoadOne:163 : Found VBoxXPCOMC.dylib in '/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS' 2012-09-13 08:56:43.937+0000: -1: debug : vboxRegister:97 : VBoxCGlueInit found API version: 4.1.22 (4001022) 2012-09-13 08:56:43.937+0000: -1: debug : vboxRegister:129 : VirtualBox API version: 4.1 2012-09-13 08:56:43.953+0000: -1: debug : vboxOpen:1048 : in vboxOpen 2012-09-13 08:56:43.962+0000: -1: debug : vboxNetworkOpen:7319 : network initialized 2012-09-13 08:56:43.965+0000: -1: debug : vboxStorageOpen:8137 : vbox storage initialized Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.

Do I have to start libvirtd in the context of the user, to see the virtual machines? Thanks in advance for any advice, Waldemar _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
