virt-manager fails to import libxml2

(1/3) > >>

Leee:
This is not an urgent thing, since I just downloaded virt-manager on a whim to try it out, but...

I downloaded and installed virt-manager.tcz on Core 15.0 / x86_64 and when I try to run it, I get the following error output:

--- Code: ---tc@dolly:~$ virt-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):

    import libxml2
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'libxml2'

--- End code ---

Both libxml2.tcz and libxml2-python.tcz are loaded.

Looking at /tmp/tcloop/virt-manager/usr/local/share/virt-manager/virtinst/xmlapi.py line #7, it looks like libxml2-python should do the job, but apparently not (though I'm -still- not exactly a python guy).

Hi Leee
You didn't mention it, so I have to ask, did you:

--- Code: ---$ sudo modprobe kvm-intel
$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start
$ sudo libvirtd -d
$ sudo virtlogd -d
  ..then start virt-manager
--- End code ---
as specified by the .info file:
http://tinycorelinux.net/15.x/x86_64/tcz/virt-manager.tcz.info

Leee:
Ummm... no.    :-[

But when I do that, modprobe fails with:


--- Code: ---tc@dolly:~$ sudo modprobe kvm-intel
modprobe: can't load module kvm-intel (kernel.tclocal/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko.gz): Operation not supported

--- End code ---

Rich:
Hi Leee
I think that means your CPU doe not support virtualization.
Or it might mean virtualization is disabled in your BIOS.

Leee:
Thanks Rich

The CPU is an "Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6200U" that supposedly has "Enhanced Virtualization" so I think it's ok.  I'll reboot later today and snoop around the BIOS settings for anything having to do with virtualization.  That wil, no doubt tell the story regarding kvm-intel.ko.gz but...

I'm wondering if any of that would have to do with loading the libxml2 stuff - seems unlikely to be related, though I suppose one never knows.
