Is there a > way to get virt-manager up and running without KVM? virt-manager has no direct dependancy on KVM, it simply wants libvirt. Your libvirt install exposes whatever virt technology is available (XEn, KVM, OpenVZ, etc, etc), so there should never be a need for a forced install of KVM when selecting virt-manager. Best report a bug against Ubuntu virt-manager package Regards, Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :| _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
