I'm running Ubuntu 10.04

I installed kvm and virtual manager and created a guest OS. Everything worked fine until I rebooted my pc. After reboot libvirt was not running despite of init script inside /etc/init.d If I start it manually it works. It's just annoying to do it manually every time. Is there a way I can debug why my libvirt fails to start automatically?

Second question:

As I said I'm using virtual manager to create and run my guest OS. Initially I installed my first os (Windows 7) from .iso file on USB drive, and when I disconnected that drive after guest OS installation, virtual manager complained about missing .iso file. Basically it fails to start without .iso.. If I plug back that USB drive - it works. Is it how it's suppose to be? I was thinking that once you installed your guest OS on a virtual hardrive space, you don't need .iso file any more..

Would appreciate any addition information on that topic.

Thanks a lot!

Merely having the initscript isn't enough; upstart also needs to know that it has to be started.

It doesn't need the .iso anymore, but you haven't told it that. Push the "Disconnect" button.

It turned out to be a virtual bridge problem. Libvirt was trying to start before bridge was created. So I modified upstart script (/etc/init/libvirt-bin.conf) to include addition check:

start on (runlevel [2345] and net-device-up IFACE=virbr1)

As for .iso issue I removed cdrom section using virsh edit VMNAME (which was pointing to my .iso file on USB drive) and it works just fine now.

Thanks for feedback on this question.
