2013-10-25 15:59:36 Thorsten Hesemeyer summary virt-manager create new "Unable to read from monitor" after increasing memory size virt-manager create new VM fails with "Unable to read from monitor" after increasing memory size
2013-10-25 16:02:53 Thorsten Hesemeyer description If you increase the memory to 2048 while creating a new virtual machine in virt-manager the action fails. Why is this important ================== The error message printed does not give a hint why the VM creation failed. Complete error message ===================== Unable to complete install: 'Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 45, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1909, in do_install guest.start_install(False, meter=meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1236, in start_install noboot) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1304, in _create_guest dom = self.conn.createLinux(start_xml or final_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 2166, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer Steps to reproduce ================ 1. start virt-manager 2. wait 3. press NEW button 4. Step #1: enter name for new virtual machine e.g. "ubu1210", leave default "local install media" 5. Step #2: choose iso image from local drive e.g. "ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso", then choose "Linux", "Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal" 6. Step #3: set Memory (RAM) to "2048" 7. Step #4: disk size and location do not matter, choose anything 8. Step #5: just press FINISH button VM creation fails after the disk image had been created. Workaround =========== Do not change the memory size above 2048 MB in wizard. Modify memory size later. Kind regards, Thorsten 3.
