Hello Scott, After upgrading the host to the latest packages I was now able to install Lucid-Beta2 and run it afterwards. I must admit that I'm now unsure if I remembered to upgrade after the initial Installation since I re installed a few times due to grub issues when installing on a USB drive yet fiddling with the grub installation of the internal drive (but I'll open separate report for that.
For the record though: I used whatever the default for virt-manager is: Applications->System Tools->Virtual Machine Manager (here I had to create a new domain "localhost (QEMU)" due to missing privileges in the "localhost (QEMU Usermode)" domain) mouse right click->New Name: Lucid * Local install media (ISO image or CDROM) Use ISO Image: <Browse to nfs mounted ubuntu-10.04-beta2-desktop.i386.iso image> OS type: Linux Version: Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) RAM 512 CPU 1 * Enable storage for this machine * create a disk image on the computer's hard drive 20.0 GB * Allocate entire disk now Finish - Open vm-console to install Lucid in VM (the Installation was done in German in Austrian locale) using full vda block device. ... (continue default installation) I've attached the virsh dumpxml Lucid > Lucid.xml output anyway. Thanks for looking into the issue! ** Attachment added: "virsh dumpxml" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/44419052/Lucid.xml -- KVM machines became corrupted after reboot (i386 only) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/469419 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
