Is this named differently on Ubuntu? Though I use Ubuntu, I installed KVM from source code. And the vanilla QEMU is not installed. And I use the KVM binary for QEMU (so no accelerator is active in that case) And there is no /usr/bin/qemu, but only /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 in KVM installation. > <guest> > <os_type>hvm</os_type> > <arch name='x86_64'> > <wordsize>64</wordsize> > <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> > <machine>pc</machine> > <machine>isapc</machine> > <domain type='qemu'> > </domain> > </arch> > <features> > ... > </features> > </guest> > > If kvm is installed, then this should have a kvm <domain> > entry. Is /dev/kvm present/kvm module loaded? Is > /usr/bin/qemu-kvm present? There is nothing like qemu-kvm anywhere in my box. I guess that is from Fedora package only? (I compiled and installed KVM from source code) Thanks, J -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
