What were you trying to do that didn't work?
When running podman machine init to initialize a podman-machine VM the process fails because podman tries to call qemu-system-x86_64 which is not available in RHEL
$ podman machine init Error: exec: "qemu-system-x86_64": executable file not found in $PATH $ virsh nodeinfo CPU model: x86_64 CPU(s): 24 CPU frequency: 2652 MHz CPU socket(s): 1 Core(s) per socket: 6 Thread(s) per core: 2 NUMA cell(s): 2 Memory size: 98872284 KiB
RHEL only ships and supports qemu-kvm and does not provide qemu-system-{arch}
Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:
podman-4.4.1-16.module+el8.8.0+19993+47c8ef84
qemu-kvm-core-6.2.0-32.module+el8.8.0+18361+9f407f6e
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to reproduce
- Install podman and qemu-kvm
- Attempt to initialize a VM
Expected results
The podman-machine VM is initialized
Actual results
The command fails with the following error:
$ podman machine init Error: exec: "qemu-system-x86_64": executable file not found in $PATH
