libvirtd crashes when adjusting cpu's for guest in virt-manager.

[Robstarusa]

Hello,

I am running the latest libvirtd + virt-manager available in Jaunty. If I try to adjust # of cpu's down while the guest is off & click apply, this apparently crashes libvirtd.

If I xkill virt-manager, and restart it, it can't connect to libvirtd. if I run /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin stop, it doesn't kill libvirtd either. If I kill -9 the PID of libvirtd, and run /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin start, libvirtd comes back alive.

My workaround is to close virt-manager, adjust the # of cpus in /etc/libvirt/qemu/hostname.xml and then start virt-manager.

Now the correct desired # of cpu's appears.

My machine is running 64-bit jaunty with 4G ram and 2 * xeon 5520's in a dell T7500.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

This issue has been fixed in the more recent version of libvirt in Karmic and Lucid.
