This might help some people: The BIOS setup of HP compaq nw9940 laptop contains a rather hidden setting called "virtualization technology", which is "deactivated" by default. On my machine it found in "system configuration" -> "device configuration" as the last menu entry. When trying to activate it, the BIOS issues a big fat warning in red letters on white background, that this feature is not recommended by HP and so on. I've activated the feature and rebooted and still got the same message. So I had to power down and restart, to get it really activated! I've upgraded my BIOS recently to version F.1A, which was released by HP april this year, so I assume this situation might effect lot of rather recent machines.
Nevertheless the kvm_intel module is still not loaded automatically during boot. I had to issue the sudo modprobe kvm_intel to load it. The kvm package introduces a new group kvm, which the default user is not automatically member of. The device /dev/kvm belongs to this new group kvm. So the user account trying to run kvm has probably be a member of the group kvm. I will try this next. -- KVM kernel interface is not loaded https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104297 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
