[SOLVED] KVM machines don't boot after apt-get install virt-manager

[viniciusmunich]

Hi,

I installed virt-manager.
Since then, my KVM VMs don't boot, and they show only a black screen on the console.

Is it dangerous to remove virt-manager using apt-get remove virt-manager?
I just notice that my KVM/Windows VMs are consuming just between 10~15 mbs of RAM.

I did apt-get remove virt-manager however I got no apparent results.

Is there any way to reinstall/re setup KVM without lost my openvz containers, or even better, without format my entire disk?

^Is that the problem?

How can I reinstall proxmox's KVM?

Thank you in advance.
By the way, Proxmox is a great software. Thank you!

Admins, please close the Thread http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/10164-Console-problems-after-install-SSL-Cert-Black-screen .
Sorry about that.

EDIT:

I saw this thread: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/8557-Virtio-disk-boot-problem?p=48359#post48359

Then I did dpkg -r qemu-system
And now this is what I get:

root@luck:~# qm start 101start failed: command '/usr/bin/kvm -id 101 -chardev 'socket,id=monitor,path=/var/run/qemu-server/101.mon,server,nowait' -mon 'chardev=monitor,mode=readline' -vnc unix:/var/run/qemu-server/101.vnc,x509,password -pidfile /var/run/qemu-server/101.pid -daemonize -usbdevice tablet -name Windows2008R2-64bits -smp 'sockets=1,cores=2' -nodefaults -boot 'menu=on' -vga std -localtime -rtc-td-hack -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -no-hpet -k en-us -drive 'if=none,id=drive-ide2,media=cdrom,aio=native' -device 'ide-cd,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide2,id=ide2,bootindex=200' -drive 'file=/var/lib/vz/images/101/vm-101-disk-1.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio0,cache=writeback,aio=native' -device 'virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio0,id=virtio0,bus=pci.0,addr=0xa,bootindex=100' -m 4096 -netdev 'type=tap,id=net0,ifname=tap101i0,script=/var/lib/qemu-server/pve-bridge,vhost=on' -device 'virtio-net-pci,mac=42:24:67:03:75:B1,netdev=net0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x12,id=net0,bootindex=300'' failed: exit code 1

What about this:

root@luck:~# dpkg -l | grep qemuii etherboot-qemu 5.4.4-9 Bootstrapping for various network adapters (qemu)
ii pve-qemu-kvm 1.0-9 Full virtualization on x86 hardware
ii qemu-keymaps 0.12.5+dfsg-3squeeze1 QEMU keyboard maps
ii qemu-server 2.0-39 Qemu Server Tools
rc qemu-system 0.12.5+dfsg-3squeeze1 QEMU full system emulation binaries
ii qemu-user 0.12.5+dfsg-3squeeze1 QEMU user mode emulation binaries
root@luck:~# dpkg -l | grep kvm
ii pve-qemu-kvm 1.0-9 Full virtualization on x86 hardware
root@luck:~#

Everything was working fine, but then I tried to install virt-manager and boom, trouble.
Is it ok to do what this guy did:

------------ SOLUTION ------------
OK, I did what dietmar
said on this post:

http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/8557-Virtio-disk-boot-problem?p=48747#post48747

Please remove all debian related qemu packages:

etherboot-qemu
qemu-keymaps
qemu-system
qemu-user

I have no idea how you managed to install them together with pve-qemu-kvm - package tools should prevent that.

So,

root@luck:~# dpkg -r etherboot-qemu(Reading database ... 101839 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing etherboot-qemu ...
root@luck:~# dpkg -r qemu-keymaps
(Reading database ... 101829 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing qemu-keymaps ...
root@luck:~# dpkg -r qemu-system
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove qemu-system, only the config
files of which are on the system. Use --purge to remove them too.
root@luck:~# dpkg -r qemu-user
(Reading database ... 101788 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing qemu-user ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

And now, my VMs are booting !!

Thank you dietmar!
lol

I hope you guys use the search button, the results can be really helpful!

btw, sorry for my english.
