What were you trying to do that didn't work?
I was attempting to set up a new RHEL 9.3 system to use Cockpit to manage virtual machines. I installed the cockpit-machines package, however, this did not automatically install libvirt-daemon, which from what I understand, is required in order to manage virtual machines with Cockpit.
Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:
cockpit-machines-298-2.el9_3.noarch
How reproducible:
Every time
Steps to reproduce
- Build a new RHEL 9.3 system
- Install cockpit-machines (either from the command line with DNF, or from within Cockpit from the Applications screen)
- Go to "Virtual machines" within Cockpit
Expected results
All required libvirt packages needed by Cockpit are installed as dependencies when installing cockpit-machines.
Actual results
Cockpit shows a message that "Virtualization service (libvirt) is not active". I then have to manually install the libvirt-daemon package to enable the libvirtd service.
