Virtual Machine Manager
Hi,
I'm trying to set up a Windows Vista virtual machine on my Fedora 11 box. I have installed Virtual Machine Manager 0.7.0 and have a working DVD containing vista. After completing the set up and pressing finish I get the following errors:
Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> internal error unable to start guest: qemu: could not open monitor device 'pty'
How would i remedy this problem?Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> internal error unable to start guest: qemu: could not open monitor device 'pty'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1501, in do_install
dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 541, in start_install
return self._do_install(consolecb, meter, removeOld, wait)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 633, in _do_install
self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(install_xml, 0)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 974, in createLinux
if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self)
libvirtError: internal error unable to start guest: qemu: could not open monitor device 'pty'
Any help is greatly appreciated
