Potentially better than copying the /usr/bin/kvm binary to /usr/bin/kvm.real is to use dpkg-dirvert, then the shell script it's replaced with (as per Michael R. Hines' suggestion) won't be over- written on upgrade of the qemu-kvm package:
$ sudo dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert /usr/bin/kvm.real /usr/bin/kvm $ dpkg -S `which kvm` local diversion from: /usr/bin/kvm local diversion to: /usr/bin/kvm.real qemu-kvm: /usr/bin/kvm Best would be a fix backported to Lucid, of course. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579723 Title: kvm memory ballooning is unusable in Lucid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/579723/+subscriptions -- 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
