hostname change broke my virtual machine

English Install/Boot/Login

I changed my hostname from the default and upon reboot my win2008 virtual machine fails with the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py”, line 485, in run_domain
vm.startup()
File “/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py”, line 379, in startup
self.vm.create()
File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py”, line 262, in create
if ret == -1: raise libvirtError (‘virDomainCreate() failed’, dom=self)
libvirtError: operation virDomainCreate forbidden for read only access

Any ideas what would cause this? I tried changing it back but it didn’t fix it.

Use your newsreader to subscribe to gmane.comp.emulators.virtualbox.general.
That is where the VirtialBox/Sun developers hang out.

argh…my newsserver doesn’t seem to have that. It seems ugly. I can’t even delete my vm’s without the same error! I can create a new one that uses the same vm harddisk and it comes up fine but as soon as I shut the vm down it is in the same state as the other one :frowning:
