Re: Using Libvirtd with virt-manager on aarch64

["Jaggi, Manish" <Manish.Jaggi@caviumnetworks.com>]

Hi Stefano / Clark,

I thought ubuntu dom0 is the better way to get libvirt working, so following the steps,
(A) there is a build error, if you can help with

root@manish-thunder-dev:/build/libvirt-upstream/libvirt# debuild -us -uc -i -I
Fatal Python error: Failed to open /dev/urandom
Aborted (core dumped)

(B) Also, I was using opensuse image which I believe had xencomons xenstored etc.
How do i get them ? Do i need to do apt-get install xen-tools 

I am stuck on these two points.

-Regards
Manish

You are right: at the end of build-librvit-deb, the script calls
debuild, that is not going to work on opensuse.

I suggest you avoid build-librvit-deb and build libvirt by hand, as from
the webpage you linked.

virsh is supposed to be working correctly. Have you tried creating any
guests via virsh?
