Restoring VM from 2.3 to 3.0, on start throws error

[tehsu]

When I start the VM that I restored onto 3.0 from 2.3 it ends up throwing an error, I can't seem to find any information on this anywhere.

TASK ERROR: detected old qemu-kvm binary (unknown)

I had virt-manager qemu n all that installed before proxmox so I think thats causing the problem but am unsure why it still sees qemu-kvm after I've removed it

I am also seeing this on my new install and not on my old,
kvm --version
kvm: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libspice-server.so.1: version `SPICE_SERVER_0.10.4' not found (required by kvm)
kvm: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libspice-server.so.1: version `SPICE_SERVER_0.11.2' not found (required by kvm)

copied kvm from my old server which is 2.3 and that let it start...

 

[dietmar]

what is tghe output of

# dpkg -l pve-qemu-kvm

and

# md5sum /usr/bin/kvm

 

[dietmar]

copied kvm from my old server which is 2.3 and that let it start...

That is likely not the correct way to fix it ...

I was just testing.

Any ideas or updates on this issue?

Did you install the Debian version of "libspice-server1" alongside the Proxmox version (pve-libspice-server1)? This is likely to be true if, for example, you installed the Xorg qxl video driver, like I did. A simple `apt-get purge libspice-server1` cleared this up on my system...

I suspect the problem was that KVM was failing to start properly, even enough to get the version info from the binary, so it never came up far enough to throw a particularly useful error. I was only able to see this level of detail by commenting out the relevant line in the Perl script behind this part of the `qm` utility, but if you run `$(qm showcmd <vmid>)` it should have the same effect. Resolve the conflict which is preventing KVM from starting, and this error should be resolved.

Hope that helps!

Woot, that fixed it, thanks.
