Help to install Virt-manager on Funtoo and Gentoo
|
|
Installing virt-manager
|
|
|
|
First we need to add some information to build virt-manager and qemu correctly:
|
|
|
|
# echo "app-emulation/virt-manager gtk policykit" >> /etc/portage/package.use
|
|
# echo "app-emulation/qemu spice" >> /etc/portage/package.use
|
|
# vim /etc/portage/make.conf ## and add
|
|
|
|
QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS="arm x86_64 sparc"
|
|
QEMU_USER_TARGETS="x86_64"
|
|
|
|
In order to user the power of virtualization under Funtoo / Gentoo, you will need to install the following packages:
|
|
|
|
Note: Some extra video driver are needed and iptables is mandatory! If under Gentoo, you will need rebuild or check if already build modules in the kernel, see QEMU documentation.
|
|
|
|
# emerge --ask virt-manager qemu xf86-video-qxl app-emulation/spice spice-gtk spice-protocol net-firewall/iptables
|
|
# dispatch-conf
|
|
# emerge --ask virt-manager qemu xf86-video-qxl app-emulation/spice spice-gtk spice-protocol net-firewall/iptables
|
|
|
|
Take a cup of coffee ^^
|
|
|
|
After the installation please add you user to kvm & libvirt group (or create it) and start libvirt daemon as follow and add it as default to start after reboot:
|
|
|
|
# gpasswd -a USER kvm ## groupadd kvm
|
|
# gpasswd -a USER libvirt ## groupadd libvirt
|
|
# /etc/init.d/libvirtd start
|
|
# rc-update add libvirtd default
|
|
|
|
Configure polkit
|
|
|
|
Then we will add some changes of the default configuration, so that your user can use virt-manager without password and without to be root:
|
|
|
|
# mkdir -p /etc/polkit-l/localauthority/50-local.d
|
|
# vim /etc/polkit-l/localauthority/50-local.d/org.libvirt.unix.manage.pkla
|
|
[Allow group libvirt management permissions]
|
|
Identity=unix-group:libvirt
|
|
Action=org.libvirt.unix.manage
|
|
ResultAny=yes
|
|
ResultInactive=yes
|
|
ResultActive=yes
|
|
|
|
Starting needed modules now and after reboot
|
|
|
|
# modprobe kvm kvm-intel tun
|
|
# vim /etc/conf.d/modules
|
|
modules="kvm tun kvm-intel"
|
|
|
|
After the changes you will maybe need to reboot your computer!
|
|
|
|
# reboot
|
|
|
|
Test your installation
|
|
|
|
Now you should ready to go, just try to start virt-manager and see if ask you for a password or not ^^
|
|
|
|
$ virt-manager
|
