Re: Connecting libvirt to manually compiled QEMU

[Asadullah Hussain <asadxflow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Fixed Thanks for all the help.

It's simple just configured & installed QEMU 1.4.0 through standard way and restarted the libvirt-bin service through initctl.

Libvirt runs "qemu-system-x86_64 -help" command to get the emulator version (virsh version). This option was disabled in my custom QEMU, so just had to enable it.

Still no success virsh capabilities doesn't return any "emulator" output. When I check the "libvirtd.log" there is an error:

2014-03-20 11:25:00.056+0000: 1014: error : virCommandWait:2188 : internal error Child process (LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -help) status unexpected: exit status 1

I have searched mailing lists for this error (https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/virt/2012-July/003358.html)

but the solution suggested involves  KVM which I cannot do (I just want to run simple qemu 1.4.0 )

libvirt version: 0.98

qemu: 1.4.0

Yes, ignore virt-manager for now. You just want 'virsh capabilities'
to show the binary you care about.
