No, I was looking in the wrong place - qemu-kvm.postinst already does exactly that!
In fact, I'm starting to wonder whether the way to reproduce this would be to not 'apt-get install kvm' before installing libvirt-bin. The kvm kernel module will be loaded, but won't be configured for use by libvirt. I'm not sure whether we should consider that a bug, or mis- configuration by the admin. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1057024 Title: kvm kernel module always loaded, without setting /dev/kvm permissions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/1057024/+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
