(keeping mode as 660)<br>> <br>> What's `groups qemu` on your hosts?<br>> <br>> Could you attach gdb to the short-living qemu process, and run<br>> getgroups(2) on it?<br>> <br>> Dan.</div><div> </div><div>> > >>>errore interno process exited while connecting to monitor:<br>> > >>>((null):5034): Spice-Warning **: reds.c:3247:reds_init_ssl: Could not<br>> > >>>use private key file</div><div> </div><div>I just ran into this myself on a fresh 3.2.2 install. Enabling the virt-preview repo and doing a yum update fixed the spice-warning issue and the VMs started right up. That might help you Joop.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Another issue, ovirt-engine-sdk is newer on the fedora repos than in the ovirt-repo. The fedora one caused issues (I forget which error at the moment), so I had to disable the fedora repos, remove ovirt-engine-sdk, and then reinstall it from the ovirt-repo.</div><div> </div><div>*Forgot to note that I attached a text file of what updated once I added the virt-preview repo </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Users mailing list<br>> Users@ovirt.org<br>> http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users<br></div> </div></div> </div></body>
