From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

virt-install vTPM issue (lemmy.world)

Sorry to be a bother, but I'm hitting a wall here, and my google-fu is not strong enough apparently. I'm trying to reinstall a Home Assistant VM on my server, (It's been a while, and I have no idea how I did it originally). Running: virt-install --name haos --description "Home Assistant OS" --os-variant=generic --ram=16384 --vcpus=4 --disk /home/chris/haos_ova-12.4.qcow2,bus=scsi --controller type=scsi,model=virtio-scsi --import --graphics none --boot uefi

Returns:

`WARNING KVM acceleration not available, using 'qemu' WARNING Using --osinfo generic, VM performance may suffer. Specify an accurate OS for optimal results.

Starting install... ERROR internal error: Could not run '/usr/bin/swtpm_setup'. exitstatus: 1; Check error log '/home/chris/.cache/libvirt/qemu/log/haos-swtpm.log' for details. Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. If it was, you can restart your domain by running: virsh --connect qemu:///session start haos otherwise, please restart your installation.`

Checking the 'haos-swtpm.log' shows repeated entries of:

I gather that it seems to be a issue with the vTPM, but I usually deal in containers, so this is all new on me.

Thanks in advance.

WARNING KVM acceleration not available, using 'qemu'

That's related to hardware virtualisation, like the other person said, check that it's enabled.

WARNING Using --osinfo generic, VM performance may suffer. Specify an accurate OS for optimal results.

This is related to --os-variant=generic, I don't remember what Home Assistant OS is based off, but find out and pick an option from virt-install --os-variant list, otherwise use linux2022.

ERROR internal error: Could not run '/usr/bin/swtpm_setup'.

I'm not sure why it's attaching a TPM, but I believe --tpm clearxml=true should remove it.
