Fedora distro naming changes cause some problems
May 12, 2008 - 3:36pm
In Fedora 9, kvm is known as qenu-kvm. Why? I don't know. But now when you do things like:
vdekvm -h
Usage: vdekvm [-h]
vdekvm ...qemu options... -net vde[,vlan=n][,sock=sock] ...
Old syntax:
vdekvm [-sock sock1 [,sock2...]] qemu_options
(vdekvm executes a qemu machine named kvm,
output of "kvm -h" follows)
Segmentation fault
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ you get sefaulting because it is looking for kvm and not qemu-kvm.
I wish that distros would not unnecessarily change things.

Another example of where this has caused me problems is with the script 'vmware2libvirt'. This was developed in a debian environment but it really can be used for most distros. Well, it was creating bad emulator settings in .xml files because Fedora changed the name of the emulator from kvm to qemu-kvm.
What I had to do to get kvm working correctly with all support tools was this:
su -
cd /usr/bin
ln -s qemu-kvm kvm
Of course there may be other changes that were made that I'm not aware of yet. But this fix seems to have straightened out all the problems I've encountered so far.
