[SOLVED] Unable to start Qemu: Permission denied

Pinonoir · 06-05-2014, 03:17 PM

I'm receiving an error when trying to use Aqemu with qemu and KVM. For some reason it won't let me start it. Thoughts?

Agemu looks really interesting, thanks for pointing it out to me.

Error #1
Could not access KVM kernel module: Permission denied failed to initialize KVM: Permission denied

Load the kvm module before starting aqemu. for instance I have this in /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

Code:

modprobe kvm-intel

Of course for an AMD CPU the command would be:

Code:

modprobe kvm-amd

Still showing same error.

What command did you type?

PS If you just included it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local it will be run only at next boot. Then type it in a terminal before starting aqemu.

Pinonoir · 06-05-2014, 06:46 PM

well, both.

Didier Spaier · 06-05-2014, 06:46 PM

What gives "lsmod|grep kvm" ?

In any case you should only type one command, that is relevant for your CPU (uname -a will tell you if it's Intel or AMD)

Pinonoir · 06-05-2014, 06:48 PM

bash-4.2$ lsmod|grep kvm
kvm_amd 50191 0
kvm 363491 1 kvm_amd

Didier Spaier · 06-05-2014, 06:49 PM

Please post output of "uname -a".

So, that should be the good module. Try opening a new terminal and type aqemu in it.

Pinonoir · 06-05-2014, 06:54 PM

Tried to start machine and posted the same error.

Didier Spaier · 06-05-2014, 07:01 PM

So, sorry, no more clue for tonight.

This may sound stupid... but did you install qemu or just aqemu...?

I've just used qemu and kick it off with a command line script... but aqemu does not include qemu.. which it needs.

Everything else seems good tho from what I read above.
