virtual machine manager

[bApTizE]

Hi all, sorry if this was mentioned some where else. I'm trying to set up virtual manager to run windows 7 so i can play my games. I have changed the default file system location to a hard drive i mounted. The default file system was locked at 44 GB and i wanted more for windows+games and that's why i moved it to a separate hard drive and created new volume with 100GB.

When i hit finish i get this error message.

Unable to complete install: 'internal error Process exited while reading console log output: char device redirected to /dev/pts/0
qemu-kvm: -drive file=/media/Windows 7/windows7.img,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=raw: could not open disk image /media/Windows 7/windows7.img: Permission denied

************************************************** *
I tried the chmod -R 777
i tried adding kvm and disk under user name
I also changed user type from standard to administrator to no avail.

Anyone please! I'm running Fedora 15 Beta with GNOME 3

Thanks,

,

The first thing that jumps out at me is the space in: /media/Windows 7/windows7.img I would think if there is a space it should look like: /media/Windows\ 7/windows7.img instead.
Of course the simple solution/test would be to take the space out from the folder name.

This may be too late for you but I had the same error and the problem was with the number of CPU's. I had 2 CPU's activated for the installation and it never worked but when I tried to install it with only 1 CPU it worked fine. Don't ask me why though.
